THE EEST DAIRY FEED
Made F rom Grain rom Which tho
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
BY Prof. F. D. Fuller.

National Crop improvement Servicel
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm is because the
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products of cereal mills, glucose fac
tories, malt houses, ETC., constitute
often more than so per cent of the
total bulk of mixed dairy feeds OF the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn BY
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals are
ground in the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as dried grains" If made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. II
made from rye, while valuable, they
are of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 20
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
rat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt of the
fact that if the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious ef-
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such por-
ton OF the hull as is necessary in the
manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal.
II choice, must contain at least Al per
cent crude protein. It is one of the
richest of all feeds in this substance
and carries about per cent crude
fat. On account Of it's extreme con-
centration it can be fed only in linn
tied quantities and always in con-
junction with some products to fur
nlsh bulk. This meal is an important
ingredient, in many manufactured
feeds.

A good rule to follow in all rations
is to have at least three plants repre-
sented in the ration. There are seven
factors which should be considered:
CD Bulk, CD Digestibility, 60 Rela-
ton between the digestible protein
and carbohydrates and fat, Cd Vari-
ETY., 50 Suitability of the feeds to the
animal and product, >(6) Palatability.
(7) Cost.
AS an example, choosing the cheap
est feeds relatively, considering ma
nur1al values, suitability and all, we
would recommend the following mix
ture OF grains as suitable for dairy
COWS at present prices:
900 pounds distillers dried erains.
4OO pounds gluten feed.
309 pounds wheat bran or brewers
dried grains.
400 pounds hominy feed.

THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS.

tNatioual Crop improvement service.l
Nitrogen Is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element SUD-
Piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
ton states chat it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.S5 per cent nitrogen and showed in
a table that eighteen of fifty-two dr.
fersnt feeds contained 1893 per cent.
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed, middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
a lew OF the feed mixtures. It is OBJ
Vious' therefore, that wise selection
OF feeds enhances the value of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.

DOUBLE DUTY
A Dairy Ration Has Two Main Uses
Life and Product,

Life and Product.
National Crop Improvement Service.
A ration is divided into two Parts:
l. The part needed to maintain or
keep the animal alive.
2. The part needed to make
stored up material like wool, fat,
meat or milk.
Milk is roughly in solids, one-third
each casein (protein), fat and sugar.
The casein in milk can only be fur
nished by the protein in the food.
The fat and sugar, may be derived
from either protein, fat or carbo-
! hydrates.
II a COW has the ability to give so
pounds of milk containing two pounds
OF casein, and only gets enough pro-
tein to make one pound of casein.
then she will'only give Is pounds of
milk.
A balanced ration is one that has
just the exact amount of protein, fat
and carbohydrates that the cow
needs. Just what this is we cannot
ever say exactly, because the amounts
vary from week to week and no two
COWS are alike, nor are feeds alike.
A practical ration is one that has
sufficient protein and enough total
food to make the greatest amount of
milk without the cow losing weight.
A commercially successful ration is
the one that makes the most milk or
profit, keeps the cow healthy and en-
aoles the use Of the most roughage.
/ All the hay and ensilage cow can
eat will keep her alive and make
about Is pounds of milk. Any more
milk has to come from grain or grain
feed.
The farm can usually raise carbo-
hydrates cheap in the form of hay and
ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas,
etc., protein can usually be bought
cheaper than it can be raised.
The average price of protein feeds
With ~ per cent digestible protein
was about SIS to $35 per ton before
the war, but the prices are much
higher now, while hay (clover) with
5R per cent digestible protein has
been rated at $40 per ton, so the pro-
tein feed at $40 would furnish protein
about the same as clover at $40.

Carbohydrates include sugar,
starch, cellulose, fibre, gums, etc.
TO keep alive and not lose weight
an animal must have small amounts

power (energy) to move, work, and
do all the inside work of the body.
The ash or mineral matter fur

essary but abundant in nature. A
growing animal needs plenty of pro-
TEN and ash (bone food) and of car
bohydrates and fat. A grown-up ami
NAL needs less of either the first two,
but plenty of the last two. A preg-
nant animal needs plenty of food for
its unborn young.

NO suggestions that we can offer
nor any other formula that can be
made can be followed to the letter as
a druggist follows the prescription of
a physician. Feeds vary in their nu-
tritive values, some being better than
the average and some not as good.
and cows vary in their ability to d.
gest and transform nutriment. These
conditions make it necessary for the
feeder to use good deal of Judgment

sent out by the railroads war board to
the various roads Of the country for
assistance in organizing nine regiments
Of railroad men to go at once to France,
They will be part Of the regular
army, and at the head Of each regiment
as colonel will be an engineer officer
Of the army. -.- ..
The plans of the board call for five
construction regiments, one shop or re-
pair regiment and three operating regi-
ments. Construction will be the main
work Of the men sent over, but the re-
pair and operating needs are hardly
less immediate. A notice sent out by
the railroads war board says:
1.-THE French railways are badly run
down. They need more or less complete
rehabilitation. France has no men who
can be spared for this work. She wants
all her men at the front. Before we can
train men to go into the trenches we
can supply Frances railroad wants.
and we-can do it practically immedi-
ately. Any men we send, over must be
soldiers, so it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
I'VE propose to make up five con-
struct1on regiments of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation. Each
regiment will have an engineer officer
Of the United States army as colonel
and another officer from the army as
an adjutant. The other officers will be
made up Of railroad men, except that
the commissary will be provided by
the United States army. Each lieuten-
ant colonel will be chief engineer of
a railroad or some one else, of similar
experience. The captains will be taken
from the engineers of maintenance of
way, the lieutenants from supervisors
or road masters and the noncommis-
stoned officers from track and bridge
foremen. The privates will be track
laborers.S =.
1.-THE pressing need just now is for
officers for these regiments. They will
require five chief engineers, thirty en-.
g1neers Of maintenance of way, ninety
supervisors or road masters, sixty track
foremen and thirty bridge foremen.
Each company will have $50 track Ia
borers and fourteen bridge carpenters
as privates.
The next important requirement Of
the French railways is for shop forces.
They are short Of men to repair their
locomotives. It is proposed to organize
a shop regiment, to be made up the
same way as the construction regi-
ments, except that the lieutenant colo
mel will be a superintendent ofmotive
power, the captains will be master me-
chanics, the lieutenants will be shop
foremen and the noncommissioned off,
GERS gang foremen. The rest of the
company will be made up Of boiler
makers, machinists, blacksmiths and

THE PRICE OF FEED

-INth0naI Crop Improvement ssrvicel
: Feed is handled on a smaller mar
gin than coal, ton for ton. The retail
feed dealer who buys in carload lots
can sell as cheap as the manufacturer
can in less-than-carload lots, the diff
ference in freight rates being the
dealers gross profit. In nearly every
instance, a group of farmers can or
der their feed, through a dealer, in
carloads and make material saving.
The difference in freight alone will
show a good profit.
