Answer: For 30 COWS you should
have silo about 16x40 feet. This
will hold $50 tons, and will allow you
to feed on the average about 33
pounds per day for every day in the
year for each cow l would advise
that you build four or five feet of

from one season is not all used up by
the time the next crop is ready. there
will be no harm in putting the green

INFLUENCE OF FOUR MILKINGS
A DAY UPON FAT IN MILK.
Question: have my COWS on good
clover and rye grass pasture. Am
feeding ground oats and oil meal as
a grain ration. What would be the
proper portions to mix these feeds?
Do four milkings per day have a
tendency to increase the per cent of
fat in the milky Chas. MacD., Oak
Harbor, Wash.
Answer: Your ration is very high
in protein, and would be considered
too narrow for any purposes except
for making a record. High protein
feeds have a tendency to make high
testing milk as long as the cow can
stand under it. At any rate | would
suggest that you feed some hay such
as clover or alfalfa, as much as the
cow will consume, and add bran to
the grain ration using less of the oil
meal. | think a mixture of 400
pounds of ground or crushed oats,
200 pounds of bran, and 30 pounds OF
oil meal would be about right. Feed
this grain mixture in the proportion
of one pound of grain to every three
pounds of milk produced.
Four milkings day do not give a
higher per cent of fat, but usually
bring a heavier yield Of milk, there

POTATOES AND CARROTS
OATS VS.. BRAN.

Question: Have potatoes any feed
ing value for COWS? Also have car
rots? Is chopped oats better than
bran? F. F. L., Tekoa. Wash.
Answer: Potatoes may be used to
take the place of succulence in feed
ing dairy COWS, but only small
amount should be fed-10 to 20
pounds. Carrots are much better,
and may be used in amounts as large
as so to 60 pounds if the COW will
consume them. Both chopped oats
and bran have place in a ration,
and one is not expected to take the
place of the other as a rule If you
will give me statement of all the
feeds you have or can secure with
the prices. I would be glad to bal
ance a ration for you.

trod on a cobra that was sitting up
ready to strike. Expecting every in

the delay in the deadly stroke, when,
glancing behind him. he saw his cat
crouching and gazing intently at the
reptile with a mesmeric effect, which
seemed to render it unable to move,
so that he killed 1t easily.
Another time, when sleeping in a
cot on this veranda, he awoke to find
on one side of the bed a huge cobra,
with head erect. and on the other
side his cat, it's glistening green eyes
blazing at the snake. The man

which had remained as immovable as
a stuffed specimen. Wishing to test
the phenomenon, he placed his hand
in front of the eyes of the cat, where
upon the snake Immediately showed
signs of life and activity, but when
the hand was removed, fell instantly
into mesmeric fixity of attitude. Then
it was killed.
