DOUBLE DUTY
A Dairy Ration Has. TWO Main Uses
Life and Product.
National Crop Improvement service.l

Life and Product.
National Crop improvement Servce.l
A ration is divided into two parts:
/. 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 sAmay 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. VI.
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. I..
The farm can usually raise carbo~
hydrates cheap In the form of hay and
ensllage. and, outside of clover, peas
etc. protein can usually be bought
cheaper than 1t can be raised.
The average price of protein feeds
with 20 per cent digestible protein
was about $25 to $35 per ton before
the war, but the prices are much
higher now, while hay (clover) with
5h 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.

The PRICE OF FEED.

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

THE BARRY RATION
Feeding Tat1sts Hard to Follow on
Account Of Variation Of
INGREDIENTS r.
National Gtvp' Improvement Serv5so:]

National GtvD improvement Servdsn:I
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to, use so-caGLed, standard
tables showing the theoreticaE mum
Der of pounds each Of so-calged di-
gestible proteinr fats and carbohy-
drates: These methods are. fatally
detective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for SO. much
digestible food e there was such a
thing as digestih1e food it hight fur
nish a basis to- go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digest1ble
food. .infthat it disappears i'm the body
Just what use is made OF it 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 It's; energy is used UP In the
labor OF digestinE it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should he re-
turned to, the soil. Take two samples
Of dried barley grains, each contain
ing the sama amount Of digestible
food, and one will give twenty more
therms or heat anits than the other.
One hundred pounds of dfgestible
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. It is like adding so many
pounds to- SO many gallons: So, the
digestibDe basis of figuring rations is
very inaccurate: The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy a COW needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much is necessary
to make one pound of milk of cer-
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 it, 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 COW will not give more
milk on more feed. or maybe as much
milk on less feed. So feeding is large
~ 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 a
4 ration which his experiment station
has in most cases made, say three to
four pounds of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
/ There is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk, the
more feed needed per pound of milk
So, good mixed feed which is prop.
erly combined and all the rJughage
she will eat will greatly simplify your
Ifeeding problem and a very little ex.
81 perimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each cow needs tx
produce maximum yield.

SALT FOR CATTLE.

National Crop improvement service.]
Professor Henry says that COW
requires three-quarters of an ounce
per day per 1000 lbs. of weight and
six-tenths of an ounce per day per 20
lbs. milk. Therefore. COW which
weighs 1900 lbs. and gives 80 lbs. milk
should have 1.8 ounce salt. 1t must
be remembered, however. that salt is
generally included in high-grade dairy
feeds: 1t is we'll to give COWS access
to extra salt. They will take what
their roughage demands

TERMS USED IN FEEDING
Scientific Nomenclature Reduced to
Everyday Meanings.

Everyday Meanings.
National Crop improvement service.l
StockfoodA consists briefly of three
chief parts or compounds, emitting
the water and minerals. They are:
Protein Containing nitrogen), a
muscle former.
Fat (not containing nitrogen), q
fuel or fattening substance.
Carbohydrates (meaning made of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen).
These three substances are called
organic matter, because they will
burn.
Mineral matter is called inorganic.
An animal can live on protein alone,
but would not under normal condi-
tions, because protein Cor albumen)
is only found mixed with fat in the
case Of meat and with fat and carbo-
hydrates in the case of plants and
cereals. Familiar examples of pro-
tein are white of egg, lean meat and
the gluten which can be chewed out
of wheat. Fat or oil we all know.
Carbohydrates include sugar,
starch, cellulose, fibre, gums, etc.
To keep alive and not lose weight
an animal must have small amounts
of protein and larger amounts of fat
or carbohydrates. They serve as
building material to replace WORKOUT
tissue and flesh and also to furnish
power (energy) to move, work, and
do all the inside work of the body.
The ash or mineral matter fur
nishes bone material and is also nee
essary but abundant in nature. A
growing animal needs plenty of pro-
tein and ash Ozone food) and of car
bohydrates and fat. A grown-up ami
NAL needs less of either the first two,
hut. plenty of the last two A preg-
nant animal needs plenty of food for

The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
do this widens your ration, and it is
correct to do so if it will reduce your
cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, there
fore, are largely a matter of arith-
metic.
You can usually get the result for
less money than by feeding more ex-

It is fair assumption that any
farmer who talks against mixed feeds
does not know what a mixed feed
ought to be. There is no danger of
any man buying fraudulent feed. The
state laws are very stringent on this
point and if any man has any doubt
as to the value of feed, all he has
to do is to write his State Experiment
Station and get the truth.

500 MILES FROM LAND.
The Jacob Jones was 500 miles from land
when torpedoed, u fact which has caused
much speculation in naval circles. Score.
tary Daniels. in announcing the sinking
or the destroyer at that distance from
land, offered the explanation that the YES
sci might have been sent on special
duty. Some experts here say that the duty
might have been to locate German sub
marines which have left the known sub.
marine zone on their way to America oil
that the Jones was hunting U-boats which
had extended their area of activity to dis.
tant points at sea. where they could not
be so easily attacked by destroyers. Much
significance is attached to the fact tina,
the attack was far out OF the submarine
lane.
THIRD ATTEMPT ON THE JONES.
The destroyer Jacob Jones' the largest
United States vessel of this class. was
built at the New York Shipbuilding COM
pany's plant in Camden. N. j.. and was
launched in May, 1915. but was not actual
ly turned over to the government until
February 10, 1916.
The Jacob Jones was 3l5 feet inches
over all. so feet 61-2 inches beam. II fee,
IL inches in depth. and had a draft OF
feet IL inches. Her trial displacement,
was 1,15O tons and her speed 20 1-2 knots
, The destroyer burned oil. and had a fue
capacity of 200 tons. She was able to de.
velop 1900 horsepower.
Two attempts are alleged to have beer
made to destroy the Jacob Jones las,
February. The first was on February /
while she was off the Delaware Capes, and
the second was made few days later
either at the Philadelphia navy yard OF
while she was coming up the Delaware
| river bound for the yard.
While Off the Delaware Capes the shiy
was reported to be sinking. Distress sig
nails were answered by the steamship Phil
adelphia, and when she arrived the life
boats had been lowered and thecrew o.
the fighting ship had put on lifebelts ant
were preparing TO abandon the craft
machinist's mate WAS said to have beer
placed in iron but this was not confirmed
An examination showed that one of til,
Jones's seacocks had been damaged.
After temporary repairs. the destroyer
started to Philadelphia under her owl
steam, but upon her arrival here she be
gan to settle. Another examination show
ed that several seacocks had been opened
and that there was two feet OF water IL
her hold.
