HOME MIXED FEEDS.
tNational Crop Improycmont Service.

National Crop Improvement Service.
When a man undertakes to mix his
own rations. what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as a common example. There
are great many different grades OF
cottonseed meal, and the man who is
looking for low-priced feed is sure
to get a low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than lie believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go TO a farmers barn to draw sam
pies, and even if they did, ii would be
hard to get complete chain OF evi-
dence
farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analyzed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and IL every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
! pended upon There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed
Cornmeal. oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high. but the by-products
of barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef
Americans will have those meats al
almost any price. This puts corn on
a meat basis, and the dairy busines.
will have to fall back on the by-prod.
ucts Of grains.

FARMER FEED EXPERTS.

A-'~F'Nt4sA
farmer who has devoted his life
time TO the study OF feeding generally
has more success through his common
sense methods than any scientific
analysis can supply. If such a feeder
could have on hand all of the in
gradients (most by-products of cereal
manufacture), which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical. he could. through his ex.
perlence, be very successful in mix
ing his feeds. But the difficulty with
the average man is to maintain an
economical ration from the products
of his own farm,
lie may be an expert, il he chooses
to study out new ration every time
the market changes, but he generally
prefers to let someone who makes q
business of mixing feeds do it for him
No doubt the majority of users Of
mixed feeds begin to buy il because
of a shortage OF forage and grain
crops on the farm
If such man will keep books he
will find that as a usual thing the
use OF, mixed stock feed is a mere mat.
ter of arithmetic whether he could
buy the ingredients cheaper than he
could buy them in a so-called bal.
anced" ration.

As no two lots run alike. il is very
difficult TO mix straight by-products
Of oats, barley, rye, corn, cOttonseed,
haXseed, etc, by measure, because IT IS
intentional fraud or unintentional
careleSsness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed each manu-
facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con-
sumer is not analysed and the farmer
cannot become a feed expert because
he has no laboratory. NoC one car
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 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 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 nave every facility Tor
maintaining Il 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 miil-made
brands are much better than any
thing they can mix with paddle
The same is true in fertilizers 10 Q
great extent In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories beins
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products TO the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth OF a cent per lb,
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help OF a
laboratory.

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


For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each Of so-called di-
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 it disappears in 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 il 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 digeStibie
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. II 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 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 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 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
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. a good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughage
she will eat will greatly sim mplify youl
feeding problem and very little ex
oerimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each COW needs t.
