physiological requirements and then al
WAYS feed the same ration. In produc-
ing milk profit must always be the pri-
mary consideration. Prices of feeds
will vary. Some particular feed that
has been worked out as part OF the
ration might become temporarily very
high in price. This would greatly In
crease the cost of the ration and there
fore the cost of the product. In view
of this variation in the values and
costs of feeds. the man who Is feeding
cows to make the most profit must
constantly keep in mind the matter OF
economy.
Here in Kansas alfalfa hay is prob
ably the most economical source OF pro-
tein Dairymen all over the country
are willing 10 buy our alfalfa and ship
1t long distances Ii dairymen in dis
