WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

There Is an old story about a ship
captain who had medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
AZ in his book was the indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle of No. At
was empty, so he took equal parts of
No. 40, which was strychnine, and
No. z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. ~
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
that many a feeder will think that II
little of cettonseed or oilseed meal
is good, whole lot will be better.
And, like the man who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed him
shavings-just after he got him
trained the horse died.
It is human nature to experiment
in feeds, and the poor COW has to suf-
fer for an overdose or an underdose
before the proper ration is estab-
lished.

The average reformer having SO
little at stake himself. plunges about
like bull in a. china shop. regard
less of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told of the
Secretary OF Commerce. The can
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-piate to
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, SO without
looking over the field 1t is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
1t looked all right on the face of 1t.
but when the manufacturers of har-
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 harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has pet reform which 10
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 g.
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-shail not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efficacious. Anything which disturbs
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 the
residue to stock. Any other system
is sheer extravaganza.

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

. (National Crop Improvement serviee.l

I'afH-s lNatlOnal crop improvement service
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each of so-called d.
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
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 digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, in that 1t disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of 1t Is not al
ways clear. Some of it turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of it is used in the labor of digesting
and handling the food. In the 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
therms 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 If 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
digestible basis of figuring rations is
very inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy cow needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much 10 necessary
20 make one pound of milk of GER
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she can
make.
This is a very difficult problem
and few can do 1t, and we challenge
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
out, that a COW will not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk on less feed So feeding is large
ly experimental. as no two cows are
| alike.
However, the law of averages will
hold, and the feeder can save all this
trouble and much loss by feeding q
ration which his. experiment station
has in most cases made, say three to
four pounds of milk for each pound
of mixed feed. .,.'e.tt .a
There Is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk, the
more feed needed per pound of milk.
SO, a good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughage
she will eat will greatly simplify your
feeding problem and a very little ex-
lperimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each COW needs TO
produce q maximum yield. -.

AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products
of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed,
faxseed, etc., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only few years ago
intentional fraud or unintentional
feed laws we're passed, each manu-
facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of, feed sold to the con-
sumner is not analyzed, and the farmer
cannot become feed expert because
out of five hundred is officially in
spected In the old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledge of feed and were
running valuable cows and making the
farmer poorer. In those days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
fit the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals were not agreed npon 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 was 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-
facturers who have every facility for
maintaining a uniform product. BY
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many a herd has doubled its
yield and profits. There are some
painters who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their own
color uniformly but the best painters
of today have learned that mill-made
brands are much better than any
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
hear the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth of cent per ID,
besides the result Is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help Of q

Lansing, Mich, May 29.-The CO.
operation - all county and city po-
lice officers for the completion of the
draft registration next Tuesday was
asked for today in an official bulle-
tine which went out from the COVER
nor's office to chief of police Offices
Of every subdivision in the state. The
sections Of the registration law which
insist that all officers of the law shall
be ready to aid in the registration,
are quoted for the benefit of the
sheriffs, chiefs of police, constables,
etc.
Major Samuel d. Pepper also is
sued the bulletin on behalf Of the
governor, who does not anticipate any
trouble on registration day, but he
merely took the precaution to notify
everybody just what the registration
law expects them to do.
Major Pepper points out that there
is but little chance of anyone escap-
ing the draft, and if they should
happen to escape it temporarily, they
will be caught later when penalties
will be inflicted.
"No doubt there will be attempts
on the part Of some to escape the
draft registration some way, said the
major, "but they will eventually be
caught and, unless they want trip
to government prison later in their
lives, they had better be careful what
they are doing now. Canadian ports
are closed TO them, and if they mere
ly go into another state they are al
mist sure to be rounded up and corn

gram to their homes will quickly un-
cover any failure to register"
