BEST RATION FOR DAIRY cow
Much Rough Feed in Form Of Hay anS
Silaae Must Be supplied--AIso
Give Her Grain.

The good dairy COW is a large eater
and drinker. She has large stom-
ach and must consume large amounts
of feeds daily to fill the milk pail at
every milking during the year. She
must eat till she is full and content
to lie in the stall or pasture and chew
her cud.
Much rough feed in the form Of hay
and silage must be included in her
daily ration. Also she must have some
rich or heavy feeds such as grain or
meal. The total amount Of feed she
should receive daily or az single feed
will depend somewhat upon the
amount of milk she Is giving, or
capable of giving. While she is giving
her heaviest flow of milk she should
have rather heavy grain or concern
trated ration In addition to the bulky
matter. 800

WOODEN BLOCKS FIND FAVOR
Ideal for Paving Floors of Dairy Barns
Coal Tar Creosote Adds Much
to Durability.

tBy b. O. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Pavements made of wood blocks are
no new thing-in fact, they were ex-
tensively used a generation ago in
the principal timber-producipS regions
OF the country. They were usually
composed of round blocks set on end
and the spaces filled with sand. While
excellent when new, they soon wore
out in places by the decay of some OF
the blocks. which left the pavement
quently repaired.
Substitutes such as stone, brick and
asphalt have largely replaced wood
for pavements, while concrete has
come into use for ground floors in
stable and dairy barns. The desirable
qualities of wood, however, which
these substitutes largely lack, have
again brought the wooden block into
favor. Thus, it is more quiet, it is not
SO slippery and is less trying to the
feet and legs of animals than are most
OF its substitutes.
It's lack of durability is now over
come by treating the blocks with coal
tar creosote and the blocks are cut
square or rectangular so that there
are no large openings between them.
For dairy barns, creosoted wood
blocks laid on a concrete foundation
are found to produce an almost ideal
floor, and one that is lasting and sani-
tary as well
