FEED R0UGHAGE FREELY.

Dairy Cattle Give Better Results When
Hay 10 Given Before Grain.
In order to produce milk economi-
cally the rough feed produced on the
farm should be used to the fullest ex-
tent possible While 1t is essential to
feed some concentrates to good dairy
COWS the skillful feeder always strives
to get his cows to consume as much as
possible Of the bulkier feed before add
Ing any grain.
An instance Of improbable feeding
was recently brought to our attention,
says the Kansas Farmer A high pro-
ducing herd Of pure bred dairy cattle
were being fed for milk production.
The farm was well supplied with silage
and alfalfa hay. In addition concen-
trated feeds were purchased for the
cows.
This farm was being handled by a
man who was working on a salary. The
owner became dissatisfied with the re-
suits and secured new man. AS re-
suit Of the first months work the new
man reduced the bill for purchased
feeds from $40 to $500, and the cows
produced more milk during this month
than they did during the month in
which they consumed the large amount
Of purchased 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. 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 capac-
ity, since they were eating grain large
ly because they liked 1t better and con-
sequently consuming relatively small
amounts of silage ard alfalfa. The
method of feeding was changed so that
the cows were induced to eat the max
imum quantities of farm grown feeds,
then each COW was given in addition a
reasonable quantity Of grain, the
Rmount being gagged by the work she
WAS doing at the pail. There is les
Son In this for every feeder of dairy
cattle, as 1t is the marketing Of farm
grown feeds that brings the profit to

tory and their growth fully equal. II
not superior, to that of those fed on
whole milk.
The skimmilk should be fed warm
and fresh or as soon as 1t comes from
the separator or disappointing results
will follow. The feeding Of cold or
tainted or too much skimmilk Is In
variably the cause Of producing I'M
thrifty calves. The Calls milk should
be weighed each time for the best re-
suits and increases In allowance made
very gradually. When skimmilk Is
properly handled and fed there is no
necessity Of feeding butter fat worth
80 cents pound to grow the right
kind of dairy calves. Skimmilk for
growing animals is much better feed
than most people realize.

A prominent Holstein breeder In

Another breeder, rsising the same kind

Our observation and experience lead
US to believe that skimmilk Is bet
