DAIRY ana
CREAMERY
PURE AIR FOR COWS.

Lack of Barn Ventilation Cause Of
Serious Losses to Dairymen.
One of the great functions Of the
cow is that of conveying digested nu-
trients from the digestive apparatus to
the udder, where they are made into
milk and butter fat, says Kimball's
Dairy Farmer. This process is accom-
plished by the blood which circulates
between these two parts of the, body,
absorbing the nutrients at one point
and depositing them at the other. To
fulfill it's mission the blood must be
frequently and thoroughly purified
Nothing except oxygen will do this
The only oxygen the COW finds avail
able is in the air she breathes. The
COW with small, closed nostrils, shall
low chest and a small heart girth is
lacking in constitution because she does
not have the capacity for utilizing large
volumes of air containing oxygen to
purify her blood readily. 1t is for this
reason that cows of large breathing
power and extensive heart and lung
capacity are considered more valuable
than those lacking in these respects.
When cows are on pasture they do
well, and one reason is that they are
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-01-11

afforded by nature unlimited amounts
of air and oxygen. Too often, how
ever, men who realize the value of
constitution when they select COWS for
purchase do not realize that, regard
less of how large the cows nostrils
may be, how deep may be her chest or
how well sprung her front rib, she is
no more valuable than a COW showing
less evidence of constitution unless she
is afforded an abundant supply Of
fresh air. Because of this on thou
sands Of farms COWS are stabbed in
barns that are dark, cold, damp and
poorly ventilated. Cows are compelled
to breathe air which contains only a
limited amount of oxygen. Because of
this it IS absolutely impossible for
them to do their best work. Even
though they may milk largely when
first stabbed, under these conditions
they gradually decrease in their milk
flow and finally become improbable
and in many instances fail to live long.
Under such conditions the germs of
contagious abortion, COW pneumonia,
calf cholera and many other diseases
thrive to greatest advantage. Farmers
would not willfully subject their cows
to such conditions, and the reason they
do so in many instances is because
they have not given the subject their
careful thought and consideration.
What many barns need more than
anything else is an efficient ventilat-
ing system. Such a system permits
the entrance of an abundance of fresh
air loaded with oxygen and removes
the foul air in which there has been
substituted carbonic acid gas, a poi
sonous product, in place of the oxygen
which has been used up by the ami
mails that inhabtt the barn.
Many dairymen wonder why their
COWS do so poorly in winter time when
they feed them so we'll and care for
them in the most excellent manner
they know how, furnishing them in
abundance with the choicest of feeds.
They wonder why their herds are trou-
bled with contagious diseases Of every
sort, why their veterinary bills are so
high and why their death losses so
great. Lack of ventilation is the great
est reason. .
1t should be borne in mind that moth
Ing will take. the place, of fresh air
and oxygen. Regardless Of how prop
erly cows are fed, how thoroughly they
are groomed, how we'll they may be
exercised or how regularly they may
be attended and MIXED, If the barn
in which they are stabbed is not prop
erly ventilated, they will not do good
work, and, they will not remain
healthy. Therefore they cannot be
source of profit.

Tyinq the Calf,

It cost me some good calves and q
lot Of real sorrow to learn that no calf
ever should be tied about the neck
with rope and common knot, writes
correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead. Put a strap and ring around
the neck and let the rope be fastened
to the ring. A better way than this
is to get a chain with a swivel and
snap at one end to pass through the
ring, or, rather, to be snapped into it.
Begin early to groom the calves, too.
It ought to be done every day. If
calves are cared for well they will
come through to spring in fine shape
and not skin poor and stunted, as we
so often see them.

GRAIN MIXTURE FOR
FEEDING LAYING HENS

Answering an inquiry as to the best
proportion to mix cracked corn, wheat,
oats, buckwheat, barley, sun1ower seed
and charcoal as scratch feed for
hens, the National Stockman says:
The proportion in which the different
grains should be mixed for feeding
laying hens is about as much matter
Of price of the different grains as any
thing else. Their feeding value does
not differ as much as is generally
thought to be the case. Neither is it
entirely necessary that the different
grains should always be mixed togeth-
er in definite proportion. If more con-
venient one grain may be fed alone at
one time and something else at anoth-
er, thus introducing variety in more
practical manner than by mixing them
all together and feeding the mixture
week in and week out. The only rea-
son for mixing grains instead Of feed
ing them separately is the convenience
Of the feeder.
The best way to feed these grains
would be to make up mixture Of
equal parts Of cracked corn, wheat and
barley and half parts Of oats and buck
wheat, feeding the charcoal separately
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-01-11

in box or hopper. If you have to
buy sunaower seed at the prices usual
~ charged for it, it is not practical to
feed it at all. If you have some of
your own growing, the proportion to be
used will be determined largely by the
amount you have on hand. 1t can be
given at the rate Of 10 per cent of the
total grain mixture if the hens will
eat that much, or the amount can be
reduced to the vanishing point, and
neither you nor the hens will know the
difference.
In feeding give this grain mixture in
the morning and at noon in limited
quantities. For the night feeding use
the mixture part of the time, but on
very cold nights feed cracked corn
alone, and at intervals give feed of
whatever grain the fowls seem to like
best.
