GLUTEN FEED TO DAIRY cows
Good Supplementary Food May Be
Probably Given In Place Of Bean
Meal-Other Good Feeds.

Gluten feed forms a good supple.
mentary food for dairy cows and may
be probably fed to take the place of
bean meal In forming the %concentrat.
ed part of the ration.
Cows eat gluten feed regularly and
it may be safely given up to seven
pounds a day, though smaller quaint
ties fed as part of a mixture will prob
ably give the better result.
Bean meal and crushed oats have
fully maintained their past reputation
of being an excellent food for dairy
cows. but the mixture is more ex-
pensive than a n equal weight of
gluten feed.
Sugar beet Is an excellent food for
the dairy cows. There is II little diff
Guilty at first in getting some animals
to take to 1t. 1t shows a very marked
effect In stimulating and maintaining
the yield Of milk, ever when the COWS
are advanced In lactation.
Cows fed on sugar beets produce a
cream more difficult to churn than
those fed on an equal weight OF tur.
nips and the butter is very pale In
color.
Gluten feed ID the refuse after the
extraction Of starch from grain and
may be had In two forms, either as
gluten meal or as gluten feed, the lat.
ter consisting Of the hull. the gluten
layer and the germ, the hull being alb.
sent in the Ease OF gluten meal.
The gluten feed ia naturally the
lighter fed OF the two and may be
fed to the extent Of seven pounds or
eight pounds daily. Its feeding com
position approximates fairly closely to
beans and peas and 1t keeps well.

GASES ABSORBED BY GRAPES
Trees, Garden Plants and Vineyards
Damaged by Emanations from
Chemical Works.

A German botanical journal has
noted a case where trees, garden
plants, and vineyards have shown
damage resulting from their proximity
to chemical works. Emanations from
these works deposited powder on the
foliage. Analyses OF the powder
showed that oxalic acid or its salts
made up nearly one-third OF it and
that sodium compounds were also
present. The leaves seemed especially
sensitive on their lower sides.
The wine from the grapes grown In
the DeighborhOod OF the chemicals pos
sessed a peculiar taste that was at.
tributed to their absorption Of the fou'
gases ~permeatiEg the air.

Our leading dairymen have silos and
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
a feeding of hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres.
emit prices. The best wheat feeds, glu.
ten and %cottonseed meal. are the prin-
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beet
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking II cows told me
a few days ago that since he com
menced feeding this with the same
amount OF grain, his cows had gained
a little over a 40 quart can Of milk per
day. says a writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton in car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to a feed per COW twice a day.

FEEDING DAIRY CALF RIGHT
Youngster Should 30 Allowed to Re-
main With Mother. Few Days,
Then Placed In Separate Barn.

The calf may be left with the COW
Tor three or four days, or until the
milk Is fit for use. The calf should
then be taken away and place In a
separate stable, II 1t Is possible, as
the COW will give less trouble If she
cannot see her calf.
by missing one feed the calf will
usually be hungry enough to start to
drink readily and will usually give
little trouble when 1t finds the bucket
contains milk. Four pounds Of milk
per feed three time a day for the first
ten days will give the calf a good
start, when a small amount Of skim
milk may be substituted for a part of
the whole milk, the amount of the
skim milk being increased, so that
when the calf Is a month old it Is get
ting skim milk entirely. When the
calf Is two weeks old the feeds may
De changed to two per day, with the
amount OF milk increased as the calf
shows ability to handle 1t. After three
weeks the calf will begin to eat a little
grain. An excellent grain mixture for
calves Is made of corn meal, oats and
wheat bran in equal parts. with q lit
tie linseed meal added.
To grow calves we'll they should
have Just what they will clean up
readily at each feed. Plenty of green
grass Is good for them. but in very
hot or very cold weather a fine DUAL.
lily OF clover hay will produce excel.
lent results.
Calves should have milk until they
are five or six months old for best
results. II they are forced to subsist
on coarse feeds and grain too young
they will be stunted, as their digestive
system Is not developed enough to
handle such food exclusively at an
early age.
Cotton-seed meal should never be
fed to calves under twelve months of
age. 1t always proves detrimental to
development Of the young calf. This
being true. It Ia better to feed such
feeds as oats. bran and corn, which
are known to be satisfactory. To So
cure good size the animal should con.
tinue to grow steadily until mature.

GOOD FORM OF DAIRY cow
Development Of Digestive, Secretlve,
clrculatory and Nervous Systems
Are Essential.
(By W. C. RICHARDS. North Dakota
Agricultural College.)

(By W. C. RICHARDS. North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
The form which good dairy cattle
posses results from the milk produc-
Ing functions which they develop.
Ihere are four main centers of activ-
lily, the digestive system, the milk
secreting system or udder, the circu-
latory system, and the nervous sys-
TEN. To produce large quantities Of
milk, it Is necessary that a COW Tor
a bull II he becomes the sire Of COWS
capable of producing a large guam
tity of milk have these systems well
developed. Good producing cows and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because 1t Is the high de-
gree OF development Of these parts
known as the digestive, secretive. cir.
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animal the dairy
form.
A COW that has a good dairy form
has a lean appearance over every
part Of the body which indicates a ner-
Vous temperament and that she util-
a large proportion of the feed
consumed for the making of milk. She
has a wedge shaped appearance, view
from above, In front and from the
side. The wedge shape appearance
from above results from the narrow
projecting wethers which form the
Of the wedge and the large bar
rel. below, the base of the wedge. The
wedge viewed from In front is made
by the n~arrowness of the COW In
compared with the width at the
widest part of the barrel or through
he region of the hips. The wedge
shaped appearance from the sides
