BALANCING RATI0NS
FOR A DAIRY HERD
Economy Demands HOMEGROWN
Feeds, Especially Roughage,
Be Fed to Cattle.

(By CHARLES I. BRAY. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. cclo)
Ecohomy in feeding usually demands
that as much Of the ration as possible
be made up Of homegrown feedstufrs,
especially with regard to the roughage.
First. provide for all the good. clean
farm-grown roughage that the COW
will eat up clean, as the nutrients in
roughages are generally much cheaper
than in concentrated feeds.
Now consider whether the grain on
hand is such as to make balanced
ration with the roughage used. Con-
centrates must be used, because cows
cannot consume enough coarse. bulky
feed to supply all their own bodily re-
quirements, and have enough left for a
large flow of milk. II the dairyman
has plenty Of alfalfa hay he can prac-
tically balance his rations nicely with
ordinary farm grains. such as corn,
barley and oats. Five per cent Of cot.

As . source OF cash income, the
keeping Of live stock In many sections
is what Is known as n speciality bpsi-
ness. In dairy districts II Is the main
activity. and every phase Of farm man.
agement Is determined by Its interests.
Where the principal purpose Of live
stock feeding, however. Is = maintain
soil Fertility, farms which rely on live
stock for the main source Of their In

centers for purebred animals to be dis
tributed through the surrounding coun.

farms on which only limited amount
of live stock Is kept. The production
Of purebred animals Is q highly spe-

skilled animal husbandmen can make
a success Of 1t.
The fifth function which Mr.. Rom

Of vital Importance. Experience has

High Cost Of Living.
That the neglect of live stock To-
suits In increasing the cost Of living
on the farm and In lowering the stand.
ard Of that living Is q fact well known
to all agricultural authorities. For
example. the annual meat bill Of farm
meat purchases are made largely on
credit, and the proceeds Of the years
crop are mostly consumed in meeting
debts incurred during its production.
This practice is obviously antagonistic
to thrift and proper prosperity. The
production Of homegrown food does
not involve In the least the Limitation
Of the crop output Of the farm. It
simply requires planning and q little
more careful management. A COW or
two to furnish the family with milk.
butter and cheese. and flock Of chick
ems to furnish poultry and eggs, will
do much to make farm fare more
healthful and cheaper.

Seven reasons Why the keeping Of
live stock Is essential to sound agri-
culture are set forth In an article by
George n. ROmmel In the 1915 year
book Of the U. 8. department Of ag-
rfculture. Briefly. Mr.. Rommel's sew
en- reasons are the maintenance Of soil
fertility. the utilization of raw nate
rial, the need Of motive power on the
farm. cash income, the added attrac-
tiveness of a farm on which there Is
live stock. the training In business
sense obtained by keeping animals,
and better and more economical liv-
Ing for the farm family.
To maintain soil fertility. says Mr..
Rommel. humM Is necessary. This
can be obtained from two sources
green crops plowed under. or barnyard
manure. When green crops are plowed
under, however, there IL no direct rev.
enue from them. BY feeding these
crops to live stock, valuable products
that can be exchanged for cash are
obtained. At the same time the ma
nure produced by the animals retains
a very large percentage Of the fertil-
izing value Of the feed. For this rea-
son 1t Is more economical to feed than
to plow under without feeding. and the
most practical source Of humus Is sta
BILE manure.
Farmer q Manufacturer.
The farmer with live stock Is from
one point Of view manufacturer. He
takes lean, unfinished animals and
grain or forage as his raw materials
and by combining them produces beef,
mutton. pork, and dairy products. Like
all manufacturing, this process must
be conducted with skill and intelli-
gence II it Is to pay. but II the farmer
possesses these qualities he derives a
larger profit than he could obtain
through the sale Of crops and animals
in the raw state. Furthermore there
are many products on the farm which
bring little or nothing on the market.
They can, however. by skillful manage
ment be made to assist In the prOduc.
ton Of meat. The thrifty farmer
makes use In this way of all roughage
on his farm that would otherwise be
unstable. The cornstalks go into the
silo or into the shack as cut fodder.
The straw and coarse hay are util-
lied to the last unit Of energy value.
Land that cannot produce marketable
crops Is made to yield certain amount
of sustenance for hogs and sheep.
While in cities. and factories me
chanical power is coming into more
and more general use, on the farms
of the country the horse and the mule

Denver.-To prevent bean producers
Of the state being deprived OF part Of
their profits through the operations Of
spectators, an organization known as
the Colorado Bean Growers Associa-
tion was formed at . conference held
at the United States office of mar
kets. The object Of the association is
to gather reliable Information as to
crop and market conditions SO mem.
bers may obtain q reasonable price for
their product.
Colorado will be one of the big bean
producing states Of the union this
year. according to an authoritative
statement made to the conference by
Prof. Alvin Kezer of the Fort Collins
State Agricultural College He esti-
mated that the state would plant from
100000 to 100. 900 acres. which should
produce 1 100000 bushels. This u .
conservative estimate figured on .
basis OF ten bushels to the acre. the ir.
rtSated districts having frequently
produced up to sixteen bushels. Last
year the state planted only 10000
acres which yielded $4,000 bushels.
The organization IL patterned close
ly after the Michigan Bean Growers
Association. with which 1t hopes to
cooperate and which is credited with
having saved its members $4,000. 900.
Within a few weeks a county organ
ization will be formed and ramifica-
tions will ultimately extend into every
