WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

National Crop Improvement Service
Ihere Is an old story about a ship
captain who had q medicine chest. Al
sailor was sick and he found that No.
~ in his book was the Indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle of No. Al
was empty, so he took equal parts OF
NO. 40, which was s%trychnine, and
No. Z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. Al
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
thai many a feeder will think that Ii
a little OF cottonseed or oilseed meal
Is good. a whole lot will be better.
And, like the mar who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed him
shavingsEjust after he got him
trained the horse died.
1t Is human nature to experiment
IN feeds, and the poor COW has to suf-
fer for an overdose or an undardose
before the proper ration is estap-
lished.

The average reformer having SO
little ct stake himself, plunges about
like q bull in q china shop, regard
less of the results of his ardor,
An amusing Incident is told of the
Secretary OF Commerce. The car.
manufacturers pat up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, SO without
looking owe The field it is said that
an order was made chat steel was to
be diverted b. the manufactures
from other projects and put at the.
disposal of the can manufacturers:
1t looked all right on the face Of It,
but when the manufacturers of ha9
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for. and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
1t having been diverted to cans, a
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, so that our larvesting
machines could be made il time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which is
always hitting some other business
instead of his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac.
turers Of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-sllall not
be wrecked by nasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efficacious. Anything which disturb
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has.
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products is to remove.
the human food first and feed sbe
residue to stock. Any other system
is sheer extravaganza.

A dairy ration must, or all things,

II must be bulky and coarse SO as to
avoid indigestion and sickness. 1t
must contain a variety Of foods SO
that the COW will not tire Of it or get

essary to life, health and milk secre-
ton. II must be highly digestible.
Many feeds are only about fifty to
sixty per cent digestible and the work
OF e%xcreting so much waste matter is
costly in that 1t uses up the energy of
the food TO do 1t.

man, was not satisfied with his ration
Of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
ssnixtnre In comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
1--we lbs. OF grain per COW per day and
nearly 5 cents per COW. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

sss National Crop InprosAtnent ssrvice,]
II Is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when II is considered that a large
number Of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found a
satisfactory brand OF feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all, keeps cows
In perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations S and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names Of mixed brands
which are best adapted to- your pur-
pose.

AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products
of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-saed.
1aXseed, etc, by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only a few years ago.
Intentional fraud or unintentional
carelessness was Tie Yule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each masu-
facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con
sumner Is not anaiyzed, and the farmer
eannot become 8 sead expert because.
he has no Laboratory. Not one car.
out of five hundred is. officially. in
spected. In the old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledse OF feed and were
running valuable COWS and making the
farmer poorer. IN those days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
mt the tables; tbs digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals were not agreed upon nor
complete; the animals didn't fit the
standards; the buyer didn't know
what was in the feeds he bought to
mix; and there vas an unavoidable
variation In the concentration OF the
feed.
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action of
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
~faeturers who have every facility for
maintaining q uniform product. BY
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many q herd has doubled it's
yield and profits, There are some
paintersw who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their "
color uniformly but the best painters
of today have learned that mill-made
brands are much better than II
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no. economy In home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advan-
tage.. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished ct one-tenth Of a cent pei lb.
besides the result is never twice aliks
and cannot be without the help OF

THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation of
Ingredients.

For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use ~so-called standard
tables showing the Theoretical nu1n-
Der OF pounds each of ~so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and ca.bohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for so much
|digestible food. If there was such a
thing as digestible food it might fur
nish a basis to go by, but ~djgestible
food is really apparently ~digestible
food, in that 1T disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of ii is not al
ways clear. Some of 1t turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of it is used in the labor of digesting
and handling the food. In tie case
of straw and similar material, nearly
all of its energy is used up in the
labor OF digesting it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
of dried barley grains. each contain
ing the same amount of ~digestible
food, and one will give twenty more
tlleTms or heat units than the other.
One hundred pounds of digestible
food derived from. roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain SO II we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. 1t is like adding SO many
pounds to SO many gallons. So, the
diesstible basis of figuring rations is
livery inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy a COW needs to sustain
ats and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
End ascertain how much is necessary
so make one pound of milk Of a Ger.
tain fat test, and then feed her al
much protein and energy as IL needed
TO maintain her and supply food 70,
as many pounds Of milk Is she car
make

AS he was strolling about the

were often disturbed by the crack
of a pistol and he would leap from
his bed into his saddle to take up
the trail of the outlaw, Jim Walton
