them present in practically all our
feeds In varying amounts.
Fats and oils-These compounds
are easily recognized as such. When
taken as food, or in the food, they
produce energy, heat and fat as do
carbohydrates except that they are
two and one. fourth times as strong;
i. g., one pound of fats or oils will
do as much work in furnishing heat,
energy, and fat as two and one-fourth
pounds of carbohydrates. Some cows
lay on fat when fed an excessive
amount of them in the ration; while
others allow it to pass through the
system practically untouched so far
as the digestion and assimilation are
concerned.
According to various authorities,
the dairy COW needs certain amount
of all of these elements or compounds
for maintenance, and certain
amount for each pound of milk pro-
duced. Hacker, Of Minnesota, puts
the standard for 1000 pound COW

The very complex body of COW is
composed of a large number of ele-
ments, put together in such way as
to enable the animal to do work
chief of which is the production of
milk. In order that she shall do her
work satisfactorily, all the elements
needed in the milk and those needed
to maintain the body must be sup
piled in the feed. 1t is clear to be
seen then, that the elements she gets
in excess of the requirements will be
either wasted or put on her body In
the shape of fat to be drawn on at a
subsequent period when the daily ra-
tion is not sufficient to furnish the
requirements.
These elements needed will be d1-
vided into four groups of compounds,
and will be known as-protein, car
bohydrates, fats and oils and mineral
matter. The last named is usually
present in the feeds available in sutf1-
cient quantities for the requirements
of the animal and, therefore, needs
not 20 be considered in making a
balanced ration. The first three,
however, are compounds which may
or may not be found in all our feed
ing stuffs, but are very essential to
the proper development of the animal
sand the performing of it's functions.
Each animal must have some OF each
of these compounds. On the other
hand, nearly all our common feeds
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-01

contain some of each of the COM
pounds, and in the main the problem
for the dairy feeder Is simply to de-
termine; first, how much of each OF
these the COW needs, and second,
how to select such feeds as will fur
nish them in the proper proportion.
Protein-This compound IS COM
posed of at least five different ele
ments-a common example of which
is the white of an egg. 1t has been
considered the most important for
milk production, but recent investi
cations along this line have shown
that high protein feeds are as a gen
eral rule less essential for obtaining
satisfactory results, as regards either
the amount or the economy of the
production, than was formerly sup
posed. There is no question:, how
ever, that in the case of COWS giving
a very heavy milk flow, large
amount of protein is essential. Pro-
TEN not only furnishes the nitro
genous compounds-casein and al
bumen, in the milk, but builds up
the muscles and connective tissues Of
the body, and furnishes material for
horn, hoof and hair.
Carbohydrates-Ac common example
of this compound is starch or sugar.
This compound furnishes the energy.
the heat, and fat in the body and also

In carbohydrates and fats and are
spoken of as carbonaceous feeds;
others contain comparatively high
percentage of digestible protein, and
are spoken of as high protein feeds.
Because of this variation in feeds,
and because of the variation in the
requirements of the COWS due to
difference in weight and amount and
quality of milk produced, it makes 1T
necessary for the feeder to know the
composition of each feed in order
that he may use it intelligently; and
also the amount and fat content OF
the milk produced.
Years ago, before much study was
given to the composition and digest
Utility of our feeds, it was thought
that no matter what kind of hay or
grain the COW consumed, she should
be able to manufacture milk econom-
ically from it. Today, however, we
know that different combinations of
feeds give different results, and we
must feed not only according to the
size of the COW and the amount and
richness of the milk produced, but
also according to the composition
and digestibility of the feeds.

A BIRDS EYE VIEW.

The prosperity of city depends not
only upon the size of its pay rolls in
its various manufacturing industries
but also upon the character of the
agricultural land adjoining its limits.
Indeed, of the two there can be no
question that the trade arising from
the development of surrounding farms
is much the more stable and healthier
source of wealth.
Any person inclined to be skeptical
in regard to the future of Moscow
should treat himself to a trip to the
hills northeast of town where from an
eminence he can look over the
great stretch of farming country that
completely surrounds this town and
that is directly tributary to it. Moscow
is the natural as well as the only mar
ket for a country whose extent and
possibilities it would be difficult to
over-estimate. During the past ten
or twelve years the amount of clearing
that has been done on the timbered
slopes is little short of amazing. There
