Use Roughage To Limit.

In order to produce milk eco
nomically, the rough feed produced
on the farm should be used to the
fullest extent possible. The mar
ketng of this class of feed is really
the most important point to be
gained in the handling of cattle of
any kind. It saves the labor of
hauling bulky feed to market, and
as a matter of fact much of the
rough feed grown on the average
farm has no market value except
as it is fed to cows and converted
into dairy products. While it is
essential to feed some concentrates
to good dairy cows, the skillful
feeder always strives to get his
COWS to consume as much as pos.
sible of the bulkier feeds before
adding any grain. Preserving the
feeds. as in the silo, so as to make
them as palatable as possible, in
creases the consumption and the
resulting profits of this class of
feeds.
An instance OF Improbable feed
ing was recently brought to Our
attention. y high-producing herd
of pure-bred dairy cattle was being
fed for milk production. The farm
was we'll supplied with silage and
alfalfa hay, and in addition con
centrated feeds were being pur.
chased. This farm was being
handled by man working on a
salary. The owner became dissat
isfed with the results and secured
a new man. AS a result of the
first months work the new man
reduced the bill for purchased
feeds from S24o 90 to $2S.2o, and
the cows produced more milk dur
ing this month than they did dur.
ing the month in which they con,
sumed the large amount of pur-
chased feeds.
We were somewhat interested to
learn just exactly what had brought
about this change. We found that
the first feeder had been feeding
each COW all the grain she would
clean up, and in addition she was
given what silage and alfalfa she
would eat after having a full feed
of grain. The new feeder found
the cows without paunch capacity,
since they were eating grain large
ly because they liked it better and
consequently consuming relatively
small amounts of silage and alfalfa
The method of feeding was chang
ed SO that the COWS we're induce
to eat maximum quantities of farm
grown feeds, then each COW was
given in addition a reasonable
quantity Of grain, the amount
being gagged by the work she was
doing at the pail. There is les
son in this for every feeder o
dairy cattle. as it is the market
ing of farm grown feeds that bring!
