Feeling the Dairy Cow VIII
Winter


C. H. Eckles. Missouri College Of
Agriculture
With the coming of November,
lhe grass is short and pasture sea
son is about over in most parts OF
Missouri As the pastures get short
before the winter feeding period
comes on a great many cows are
allowed to suffer severely from lack
of food. As a result they go down
rapidly in their milk flow. This is
in most cases due to the fact that
the farmer who is busy with other
fall work does not realize that the
COWS are short on feed and COnse-
quently does not begin to feed as
soon as he should. 1t is a serious
snistake to let the COW 60 without
proper feed and care at this season.
Under the average farm conditions
in Missouri, the cows freshen IN
the spring. give a good flow of milk
while the pastures are good, but
when the pastures have begun TO
dry up and no additional food is
given them they at once drop from
one half to two.thirdS, and by the
winter season the cows are almost
dry Il is almost impossible to re
store the milk flow TO anything
like the original amount after 1t Is
once allowed to run down from the
lack of food. To make II large re
turn from IA COW ii large yearly pro
duction must be had, and to do this a
flow of the milk must be kept up ten
or eleven months out of the year
The cheapest and NEST efficient
n feed, and one in reach of every tar
Inner to supplement shortage OF
pasture with, is corn, but this only
applies when the shortage comes
early while the corn is yet green
and immature. But as the season
advances corn silage, if il is to be
had. is an excellent supplement
'out if this is not available, the COW
Should have an allowance Of hay
ind be given little grain at each
milking.
Although the winters are not so
ong or so severe in Missouri, il will
',ay to have a good barn for the

AND sun TAKE TURNS
Layer of Ice Covers Kansas for
Sixth Consecutive Day

The sun and the clouds have been
taking turns in making their ap-
pearance in these regions and today
cold Sol" was on the job. Three
quarters of an inch of snow which
drifted badly as it fell yesterday,
adds another layer to that of ice
and sleet covering all Of Kansas.
The mercury still has not gone be-
low the zero mark in this cold spell
as the lowest it went over Sunday
was above. Today the thermome-
tiers have been registering around
10 degrees above.
Today was the sixth consecutive
day the ground has been covered
and the farmers who are feeding
stock and depending on wheat land
for pasture are working overtime,
as all the feeding has to be done by
hand.
One nice feature of the storm is
the splendid condition of the roads.
The ice covering makes them as hard
as pavements and offers the best of
conditions for hauling wheat and
corn to market. Automobiles. sleds
and lumber wagons can use the
roads with equal ease.
