SUMMERTIME DAIRY RATION

Each Pasture VIII Satisfy Greater

(By M. ALBRECHT.)

Highest CoIored Butter.

Green grass is probably richer In
carotin than any other dairy feed.
Cows fed on it will therefore produce
the highest colored butter. Green
corn, in which xanthophylls constitute
the chief pigment, will also produce
a highly colored product. On the 9TH
er hand, a ration of bleached clover
hay and yellow corn is practically de-
void of yellow pigments and the milk
from cows fed upon 1t will gradually
lose its color. 1t is, of course, indis-
putably true that the breed does infiu-
ence the color Of the milk fat; but
vary the ration and there will be a
corresponding variation In the color OF
the milk fat in each breed.

The knife lever was bolted to the

made of a short piece of crosscut saw

square across the end of the box. With
this machine one man could cut up

three to five minutes. The feed was
cut up in one-half to one inch lengths
