FEEDING DAIRY COWS
Grow Feeds Which Are Adapted
to the Farm.
Get succulence Into Animals Ration
and There Will Be No Trouble in
Getting Her to Eat Enough
SiIo Solves Question.

Common sense in cow feeding is the
growing of feeds best adapted to our
fields and feeding them in such way
as to get the greatest amount possible
Of milk. BY this it is not meant that
the purpose of commercial feeding
stuffs should not be considered. 1t is
more profitable to buy what concen-
trated foods can be used profitaoiy
than to have the mistaken ideas OF
economy and go without them.
Many men feed with poor results
even when they feed literally. This
is because they do not know how TO
handle the feed to get the greatest
quantity of milk. The COW that is fuls
of food is the one that is comfortable
and will therefore make the best user
of the food she gets. Palatability
is the consideration-that which the
COW likes. A cow will never I'LL up

POOR HAY is QUITE COSTLY
More Noticeable in Dairying Than Al
most Anything Else-checks Milk
Flow and Injuries Flavor.

Too little attention is given to quail
ity in hay. More feeding value has
been wasted in that way than any
other farm loss. Hay is spoiled by al
lowing it to become overripe, by too
much weathering and by exposure to
sun, dew and rain. 1t may also be
spoiled by putting up in such condi-
tion that it becomes mowburned.
With poor hay poor results are OBJ
tanned in feeding, not always because
stock do rot eat it readily, but rath-
er because it is not SO digestible. This
may reduce the feeding value by so
per cent. Low grade hay always gives
poor results, poor growth, staring
coat and unthrifty appearance. 1t is
more notice. BILE in dairying than al
most anything else, as it checks the
milk flow and Injuries the flavor IN
aggrays ed cases it develops heaves in
horses and causes retention Of after
birth in cows.

on wheat chafi, because she does not
like it, not because she does not con-
-:der it of high nutritive value and
digestibility
With this point in view dairyman
will have in his mind which feeds to
grow. Grow the feeds most adaptable
to the farm which are most palatable,
writes w. W. Carrothers in Orchard
and Farm
The most important consideration in
palatability is succulence. Succulence
is juiciness. Get succulence into the
dairy cows ration and there will be
no trouble in having her eat enough.
Succulence in summer, when alfalfa
growing is in full swing, is easy. IN
late fall and early winter when every
thing is dried up and we are waiting
for the rains, succulence is hard to get.
The silo solves this question. The
day is coming when no progressive
dairyman will be without silo to
supply winter feed. The cost OF
erecting a silo is now down to the
place where almost every man can
have one, nevertheless many Of our
dairymen cannot afford enough silo
room to feed their herds the entire
fall and winter through.
A thousand pounds Of roots Is worth
thousand pounds Of ensilage for COW
feed Roots cost more to produce
and are not as certain crop. The
production per acre is also consider
ably less.
Another way to get succulence 1s
dampen straw with water and 20 per
cent Of feed molasses. This is not
as good a method of getting palata-
bility as with ensilage or roots, but it
has it's advantages. Inferior hay can

HOGS AS MORTGAGE LIFTERS
More Money Made in Raising Swine
on Farm Than in Any Other
Animal-Enemy Is Cholera.

Ry GEORGE H. GLOVER. Colorado As-
ricultural College.)
There should be, and usually is,
more money made in raising hogs on
the farm than other animals. Aside
from cholera, hogs are less subject to
disease, reproduce faster. and make
better gains per pound OF feed con-
sumed. The annual increase Of
horses, cattle al d sheep ranges from
80 to 100 per cent. The increase of
hogs should be from 500 to 1900 per
cent. The SOW has the advantage in
bringing forth two litters year and
farrows several ct each litter.
Doctor Warrington in Chemistry
on the Farm" states that for each 100
pounds of feed consumed the different
farm animals make gains as follows:
Cattle, nine pounds; sheep. II pounds,
and pigs, % pounds. Pigs then make
nearly two and {. half times the gain
over cattle for the amount Of feed
consumed.
The man who hauls hogs to market
instead of corn Is the one who should
make money. Because Of the fact that
hog raising, when properly managed,
has been so profitable the hog has
been styled the mortgage litter" The
one enemy to the business Is hog
cholera. No doubt, much can be done
In controlling cholera by the farmers
cooperating in adopting measures
which will prevent the dissemination
of cholera.
1t is up to the farmers themselves,
in the last analysis, to copfine cholera
on the one farm where it starts by
strictly following the advice of sani.
tary authorities and all working to-
gether to this end. I know of a farm
er who kept his hogs healthy for four
years, while the neighbors all around
him were losing their hogs from chol-
era. He did it by an eternal vigilance
in keeping infection out, and this man
made a regular chore of cleaning the
hog pens every Saturday afternoon.

be disposed of by mixing with roots,
ensilage or feed molasses. Coed mo-
lasses can be purchased for less than
twenty cents gallon. 1t is worth %
cents a gallon for it's nutritive value
only. Successful dairymen consider
it profitable food, and where in
ferior roughage is to be disposed Of,
its value is hard to estimate.
Practical dairymen do not advise
the feeding OF poor ensilage alone;
they prefer to have it mixed with hay
or good straw. This seems to mod
ify the flavor and causes the mixture
to be eaten with greater relish. This
mixture is especially advisable yhen
ensilage has been cut in an immature
stage. Corn cut toe early never makes
ensilage of the highest quality.

matured much earlier and much
cheaper than was formerly the case.
Moreover, they were good rustlers, did
not require pampering, and, as mat

1T appears that the 10000 street rail-

sons. including their occupants, last

harmed in automobile accidents. This
would seem to permit tho Inference
that the trolley is far more perlous.
Considering further the fact that there
are perhaps ten times rs many autos
in private use in the State as the num-
her OF trolley cars upon the public
lincs, the discrepancy appears vet more
notable.
Put, looking at it from another an
gle, it is seen that of the number killed

we're hit or run over outside, the 1000
others being passengers: while the auto
machines caught and hurt or killed

to the hardness of the wood but the
doctor persisted so much in his re-
