Questions and Answers.

RATION WITH POTATOES.

Question: Will you kindly tell me
of balanced ration.for a good Jersey
COW of large build? She is on the
following ration at present, and is
giving "a pounds of milk per day,
testing 5 per cent: Eight pounds
raw potatoes seven pounds corn on
the cob, two pounds bran, two pounds
shorts and two pounds rolled barley,
all twice daily, and all the alfalfa hay
she wants and some short pasturage
during the middle of the day.
Kindly inform me il the above IA
ton is satisfactory, or ought she to
have more and of different kind?
Is bran fed in connection with alfalfa
hay economical, or what would you
substitute? G. G. Mabton, Wash.
Answer: We think it is unwise to
feed COWS corn on the cob in that
very little of it is digested. Would
it not be possible to have this corn
shelled and ground at fair price?
1t might be advisable to use the roll
ed barley in preference to the corn.
Oats might also be used to good adj
vantage if they can be secured at a
price comparable with that OF barley.
Bran is a good feed for the dairy COW
in almost every ration, but it is high
in protein having about the same
nutritive ration as alfalfa hay, and
we must, therefore, mix some high
carbohydrate feed with it. Cows that
are low producers can usually pro-
duce the maximum of milk from al
falfa hay alone, but for a high pro-
ducing COW we must remember that
unless she has specially large capac-
ity for consuming hay, it is impos-
sible for her to eat sufficient quantity
of this coarse material to maintain
the body and furnish the nutrients
necessary for the milk. Cows always
produce milk more economically
when they have some sort of green
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-01

feed, and here again We know that
low producing COWS can manufacture
milk on green feed alone, especially
on such feed as silage containing
grain, or good nutritious pasture,
but high producing COWS cannot eat
sufficient quantities of this coarse
material to manufacture very much
milk. We, therefore, come to the
conclusion that to get the best results
in feeding COWS OF high producing
ability, we must feed all the dry al
falfa hay the cow will eat up clean
and about as many pounds of green
feed, which will include mangels,
silage, soiling crops, apples, etc., as

thirty days, placing her at the head
of her class over all others. There is
as we'll the Jersey, Olympia's Fern,
with record of over 900 pounds of
fat in year which places her in a
class by herself.
Such records as these have demon
strated the value of the Advanced
Registry work, and at the same time
have placed Washington breeders up
with the best in the country.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-01

A feature of the live stock industry
of this state and one that has brought
the state to the front as one Of the
leading dairy sections of the Union
is the so-called Advanced Registry or
registry of merit system of the lead
ing Breed Associations.
The main idea OF the Advanced
Registry system as carried on by any
Breed Association is to record the
performance of the COW at the pail
and to have such record produced
under conditions which can be re
garded as official and leave no doubt
as to the accuracy of the test. 1t is
certain that such testing to be au-
thentic and to represent the exact
production of the COW must be super
vised by some one other than the own
er of the COW. The immense yields
of milk and butter already reported
in private tests are certain proof that
this is necessary.
The method employed at present by
the four leading Breed Associations
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-01
Advanced Registry Work in Washington

is regarded as satisfactory and the
tests reported to them are considered
to represent the true worth of the
COW. In this the owner of the COW
has little to do with the verification
of the test, representative of the
agricultural college in the state where
the COW performs is delegated to do
that work. If the test is for seven
days, the tester must see the COW
MIXED dry before beginning the test
and must not allow the last milking
to exceed the time limit. He must
be present at every milking: must
record weight of milk and take
sample for the Babcock test. which
should be made in duplicate. Since
a seven or thirty day test is regarded
by some as no fair indication of the
worth of COW, these tests have been
extended to run a whole year and we
have the so-called semi-otficial
yearly tests. 1t Is certain that the
expense necessary for keeping test
or on hand daily would be prohibit
tive, and for the semi official work
the supervisor visits the farm monthly
and takes accurate record of the pro-
duction for two days. The owner of
the COW keeps accurate record for the
intervening time and the work of the
COW is computed from both records.
The fact that this work is being
pushed by all Breed Associations is
one of the best reasons that it is of
considerable value. An authentic
record of yearly production gives
some basis or comparison as to the
value of the different breeds. In the
never ending struggle to produce the
best COW the publication of yearly
records give the different Breed AS
sociations one of their best advertis-
ing features, and the fact that one
COW OF breed has given as much as
27, 900 to %, 600 pounds of milk has
been quite widely commented upon.
Such records are of value to the
breeder in that he will know whether
under his system of breeding his herd
is advancing or retrograding. A man
can gain wide publicity by being the
breeder or owner of high producing
animal. Such records enhance tie
value of the animal, and since it is
quite generally agreed that like pro-
duces like, this is often a means of
disposing tf the progeny at high
prices.
What this system has done for
breeders in Washington is best seen
in some of the records of the COWS.

that has ever been spread before The

Even father could be happier than
he is; but he feels practically nothing
of that opposite to inconsistencies
which possesses the souls Of farm
wife and farm children.
An official Of a Minnesota asylum
for the mentally unsound spoke re-
Gently to a convention of woman's
clubs. "More than half of our women
subjects" she said, come from
farms. Practically all OF them are
sent back to the farms cured. What
has cured them? Training the mind
and hand to create something, perfer-
ably something beautiful. When we
send them home with this new faculty,
they stay cured. Why is 1t we limit
this teaching to those whose minds
have given way?"
Every diligent student Of American
morals is dismayed by the conditions
trouble here? Lack Of diversion, dead
~ monotony, life emptiness. The boys
do moi so often land in the insane
asylum. Some of them do worse.
We Americans have got to enrich
life on the farm IL We would have our
women and u boys content to stay
there. Unless all signs fail, Secretary
Houston will be told this in mighty
plain English. And from Minnesota
will come reports that a way out has
been found.
Down at New Ulm, not so long ago,
a community of women was making
lace. The workers would roll up the
produce of their nimble f1ngures. take
1t to the country store, and exchange
1t for sugar n coffee. Lace making
was al "old country occupation. 1t
was behind the times" Mother might
keep at it but daughter would not.
Today it is yielding these same women
thousands Of dollars a year; daughter
is content to stay at home and earn
pretty clothes; new patterns have
been introduced; New Ulm has a dis
tinctiVe place in the field Of modern
applied art.
This Is the way out. Teach the
women, the girls and the boys to make
things. Give them earning power.
Enrich their lives with the spiritual
stimulus Of creating beauty. Help
them play at something better than
wasting time. Help them to find some
thing better to do than complaining:
Gee Whiz, it's lonesome out here!"
Minnesota has found a means Of
helping. She alone among all the

only state art society in the United

small towns and cities, bear witness
to it's practical value in driving away

Brooklyn Standard Union: Mayor
Kline's disposal of thirty visitors in
eighteen minutes. and this without
ruffling any feelings, stamps the
B~rooklynite as an executive Of deci-
sion and capacity. There is far more
art in a high official receiving visitors
and keeping them moving along. the
line with no unnecessary delay than is
generally supposed. And one who Is
able to turn the trick and yet wound
not even the most sensitive souls Is
certain to manage the affairs of his
office in a very satisfactory manner
Therefore the mayors ability to
make alle feel welcome and let lone
depart with harsh thoughts Is ample
assurance that the people Of the me-
tropolis have in the city hall a man
who is his own master and who can
and will carefully and conscientiously
discharge the tremendous responsible
ties so suddenly thrust upon him.
In Brooklyn, where Mayor Kline has
a host of acquaintance, this revela-
ton of his character comes as no sur
prise. He has earned b reputation
there for robust geniality. +tF
