MIXED GRAIN
is GUOD FEED
Barley and Alfalfa Go Hand
in Hand

Our own experience and the expe-
riences of others have led us to the
conclusion that dairy cows do not do
their best work when fed one kind of
feed. We are mindful of the fact that
dairy COWS in the West receive moth
ing but green alfalfa and alfalfa hay
in many instances. We know tn {
cows fed entirely upon alfalfa do very
good work and so far as results at the
present time indicate they develope
splendidly on alfalfa and produce
strong young. Nothing has appeared
yet in the feeding of alfalfa that need
cause any alarm as to the future
strength and development of the dairy
COWS. We have reason to believe THAI
if alfalfa hay could be supplemented
with some feed rich in carbohydrates
that the cows would produce more
milk. A recent bulletin published by
the California Experiment Station sub
stantiates us in this opinion, as they
fed several lots of COWS alfalfa and
barley and other lots alfalfa
The lots receiving barley and alfal-
ia gained in body weight more than
those receiving alfalfa alone and also
increase in milk flow of the cows re-
ceiving barley was not large enough to
pay for the feed consumed; that is,
the increase for the present flow did
not warrant the feeding of barley. It
should be remembered, however, that
there are other factors to be consider
ed. AS the bulletin well states: first,
the effect Of grain feeding on the pro-
duction of cows during the balance of
their lactation period after the more.
LIBERAL system of feeding has been
discontinued, and second, the effect of
a cows body condition on her Off
spring, and on her production during,
the following lactation period. In
other words, the work done by the CAL
ifornia station indicates that barley
may be fed with profit when the cows
are fresh and on a full flow Of milk
even though the increased milk flow
does not pay for the barley consumed,
as it will keep the cow in better physi-
cal condition. prolong her period of
lactation, and cause her to produce
greater flow of milk than if barley is
omitted.
The results of the bulletin cannot be
considered as final as the tests in
both instances were short and it often
takes several years to determine the
feeding value of foodstuff or the eff
feet of a combination of feeding stuffs.

defective or disreputable stallion rath-
er than pay a little higher price for
the service of a good one.
Two years ago a farmer who had
two mares Of equal value bred one to
low-grade horse, the other to a
good one. The colts had the same
treatment in every respect. AT wean-
ing time he refused S10O for the bet
ter colt and could not find buyer at
$50 for the other. This demonstrates
the benefit of breeding from the best.
1t takes no more to raise a good ami
NAL than a scrub, and the selling price
is generally twice as much or more,
anl a buyer is much easier found.

CATTLE KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Ground Wires Attached to Fences
Will Afford Protection During
Sudden Electrical Storms.

During the season Of severe thunder
showers many cattle are killed by
lightning Why not reduce the risk?
Briefly, here Is what one Interested
party recommends as a step toward
protecting animals in pasture during
sudden electrical storms:
Ground pasture fences at least
every 20 rods.
Use No. wire. Staple it down thu
post across the strands Of fence wire
Extend the wire into the ground about
three feet, and allow it to project =
few inches above the top of the post
