that he must be able to answer the
following questions from the prospec-
tive buyer of herd sire Is the sire
registered? What is the record of his
dam? How many advance registry
daughters and proved sons has his
sire? And what are the records of his
canadians and grandsires? If the
breeder is selling a registered COW he
must answer: What is, her record !;
the record of her dams and grand
dams and the ability of her sire and
grandsires to produce advance reg
istry daughters and proved sons.
To answer these questions and meet
the demands of buyer the breeder of
purebred dairy cattle must do official
testing. This testing is under the su-
pervision of the various state colleges
of agriculture. Breeders ready to take
up this work or wishing further infor-
nation, should write to the dairy de-
partment of the college of agriculture

HAY SUPPLY FOR DAIRY COWS
Roughages Are Relatively Cheaper
Than Grain, but Should Not Be
Fed Exclusively.

Because of the large hay crop and
the small demand for it now, roughages
/ should be fed to the limit of the dairy
cows capacity, says Prof. G. G. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station.
Relatively, the roughages, like hay
and corn stover, are much cheaper than
grains, and hay is of unusually good
quality. Roughage, of course, should
not be fed exclusively, as such feeding
might lead to compaction and death,
even in dry cows and heifers. Some
grain is needed in every dairy ration"
This dairy specialist also declares
"Choice alfalfa hay at 500 ton is
cheaper than bran at $50. Our expert
ments show that soy bean hay is in the
same class as alfalfa, and clover is
third. With corn at 81 bushel, clover
hay should be worth about $40 ton, or
So more than it is now quoted"
Timothy hay is recommended for
milking COWS only in small quantities,
to replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior in numerous ex-
periments tic timothy for cows in milk.
