DAIRY COWS
FOR MILK PRODUCTION

The best ration for the dairy COW de-
ponds largely upon the individuality
and physical condition of the herd, the
cost of feed and the kind of feeds OBJ
tainable, says y. l.. Hyser in the Iowa
Homestead. Because the prices of
feedstuffs vary from year to year and
also in different localities it is i'm
possible to designate just what mix
ture of feed is the most satisfactory
from the standpoint of efficiency and
cost However, the following feeding
mixtures have proved very satisfactory
on our farm during the past two years.
They meet the requirements discussed
at the beginning and are fairly eco
nomical:
No. 1.-Oct. to May l, 200 pounds
corn and cob meal, 300 pounds gluten
feed, 200 pounds ground oats, 100
pounds of oilmeaI
No. MAY ! to July 1, 200 pounds
of cracked corn. 200 pounds ground

meal.
No. 3.-July 1 to Oct 1, 800 pounds
cracked corn. 200 pounds ground oats.
100 pounds cottonseed NEAL 100
pounds gluten meal. 100 pounds of oil
meal.
From Oct. l to May l the cowsNare
on what is called their winter ration.
when both succulence and grain must
be supplied. During this season 1t Is
our practice to allow the animals one
pound of grain mixture No for each
three pounds of milk produced, to-
gether with thirty pounds of silage

for the two seasons was approximately
2la cents per quart for milk.
From May l to July l ration No. .
is fed At this season both silage and
hay are dispensed with. as pasture is
at its best Only one pound of grain
TO each four and half pounds of milk
given. The milk produced at this sea-
son costs less than at any other time
of the year. 1t costs us ~ cents per
quart at this time.
From July l to Oct is the most
severe test of the year on the cows
productive capacity. Added to the in
tense heat and dry pastures we have
the flies to contend with. Soiling crops
at this season of the year work in to
great advantage. A liberal allowance
of freshly cut green oats and cowpeas
or green alfalfa or sweet corn adds
greatly to the cows appetite and pro
ductive capacity.
When fed together with grain mix
ture No. feed one pound of grain to
each three pounds of milk produced.
The cost of milk is 2 cents per quart
