Written For Farmers Interested In The Best Dairy Cows and For
Those interested in the Improvement Of Their Herds
This Space Will Be Devoted to DaiIv interests

Continued from last week Extension
bulletin No. 13.
Aside from the little which is gle
ven to improvement by selection,
breeding and the use of good sires,
there is nothing more responsible
for the low average production of
Iowa dairy cows than poor feeding.
A little more feed and little
more Intelligence mixed with it
would increase the returns from
dairy cows in Iowa by thousands
of dollars.
Farmers may be divided into three
classes according to- their methods
of feeding their dairy cows.
First: Those who feed practically
no grain. There are few farmers
of this class in the COW testing
associations. In fact the writer is
able to find but one. His COWS re-
ceived the following ration during
the winter months: wild hay 20 lbs
corn fodder Slbs. They average 149
lbs bultterfat per year.
Second: Those who feed some
grain but give no thought as to
it's suitability for dairy cows.

The number of farmers, of this
class in the test associations is
also quite small. The following ra-
tions are fairly representative:
Ear corn 4lbs corn silage 26lbs.
Corn stover 5 lbs. mixed hay 3lbs
Ear corn 2 lbs. corn silage 10 lbs
Ear corn Lbs corn silage SO lbs.
Third: Those who feed a fairly we'll
balanced grain ration but do not
adjust the amount to the needs of
the cows.
A large precentage of the test as
sociation come in this class. Some
feed all of their cows too much
grain, others feed the light mixers
too much and their heavy mixers
not enough. The following ration
taken from the test association re-
cords of herd in which much
thought is given to feeding is a
very good example of the amont of
feed not being adjusted to the need
of the COWS;
Ration: Cotton seed meal 1 pound,
corn and cob meal, Lbs, silage,
40 lbs; mixed hay pounds.
