VARIETY OF FEED FOR COWS
Alfalfa Hay and Ground Corn Should
Be Supplemented With SuccuIent
Feed of Some Kind. ;

Cows will do very well when fed
nothing but alfalfa hay and ground
corn. 1t is better, of course, to have
these feeds supplemented with some
~succulent feed like roots or silage or
pasture.
1t is we'll to take a small portion of
the alfalfa hay, chop 1t fine, moisten
it from twelve to twenty-four hours
before feeding, and then mix 1t with
the corn chop. This way, the corn
becomes lightened and the moistening
of the crop and alfalfa hay adds a
little variety to the ration.
Cottonseed meal may be fed at the
rate of one pound to each animal, but
it is not necessary, as the alfalfa hay
will furnish all the protein the COW
needs. Oil meal would be a better
feed to use, if it could be purchased
at the same or even at a little higher
price. Oil meal is a splendid feed
to use when animals are receiving no
observation-disclosures Dairyman.

GUARD AGAINST CALF ScOURS
Trouble Caused by Deran1ed Diges-
tive Organs Which In Turn May
Be Due to Dirty Pals.

Perhaps many farmers were troubled
last summer with calf scours. This
trouble is caused by a deranged diges-
tive system, which in turn may be
caused by various conditions. Chief
among them and one that a readily
be guarded against IS unclean feeding
pals.
Another N On is a change
from sweet to SOU milk or vice versa.
The milk should be either sweet or
sour. Souring or half-sour milk often
brings on scours
Feed the calves regularly. A little
bran or crushed gra 4, fed dry, imme-
diately after their milk, is desirable
Successful herdsmen claim that a
tablespoonful of pure dried blood
mixed with the milk at each feeding
is partially effective in preventing and
in relieving cases of scours. Four
tablespoonfuls Of castor oil every two
days until the trouble disappears is
n of the most valuable remedies for
scours.-Press Bulletin, Ohio State
University.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-03-24

The difference in flavor is largely due
to the ripening and the presence of
different bacteria.
The use of starter" to inoculate
cream with the proper bacteria gives
more uniform results. This is made
by growing the right kind of bacteria
in sterilized milk, or simply by taking
a lot of milk from the ~cleanest dairy
that can be found, keeping it in ster-
ilized vessels and allowing it to sour
naturally. The practical results Of
the last methods are very satisfac-
tory.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-03-24

come very numerous and produce va
rious chemical changes, giving rise to
products of special taste and aroma.
1t makes a great difference what spe-
cies of bacteria the ear contains at
the outset. One class produces the
flavor of high-grade butter, while a
second class does not affect the flavor.
The bacteria present in greatest
number are those of the first class.
The correct temperature of ripening,
not far from 60 degrees, favors the
growth of this class, and results are
generally satisfactory.
Butter made in winter is almost al
ways inferior to that made in June.

Ripened cream makes more butter
than cream not ripened; it churns
more easily and the butter has a bet

cream is quite fiat in flavor and aroma.
A good flavor in butter makes a price
