cows NEED SOME MINERALS
Animals Unable to Utilize Sufficient
Amount From Ordinary Ration to
Support Body.

1t has been definitely proved that
cows which produce heavy flow Of
milk are not able to utilize sufficient
mineral matter from the ordinary ra-
ton to maintain the proper quantity
of minerals in the body; in other
words, more of these mineral ele-
ments are given off than the COW can
obt''n from the ration. and the body
of the COW Is robbed Of mineral ele-
ments to supply the deficiency.
In addition to IN ordinary ration,
one ounce OF common salt per COW
daily is sufficient to maintain the
proper quantity of sodium and chic
rine in cow producing 40 pounds Of
milk daily. An ordinary mixed ration
supplies sufficient potassium for every
need of high-producing COW. The
element calcium or lime appears to be
deficient in all cows except those with
very low milk production.
The deficiency of minerals in the
ration had no apparent effect on the
amount or composition of the milk.
This fact proves that the deficiency
is overcome, as far as possible, by
mineral elements taken from the body
of the COW. While the nitrogen COM
pounds from alfalfa hay were slightly
more digestible than those from clover
hay, the nitrogen from clover was
equally as valuable, because it was
more completely utilized than the al
falfa nitrogen. The quantities of nj
trogen utilized from clover and alfalfa
were therefore practically the same.

This year we are hesitating to put
in feeder steers or lambs. because of
the high cost of fattening feeds. Yet
we need to feed out our roughage, to
keep our manure and fertilizer on our
farms. The breeding ewes will con-
sumo the rough feed and require very
little grain. Then we can ship them
to cheap pasture, from which the
lambs can be sold next fall and the
ewes returned again to use our hay
and fodder. This method allows us
to keep our roughage on our farms, to
sell concentrates for human food, and
to crop such land as is too valuable for
pasture. 1t will be both patriotic
and profitable program as long as the
war continues.

FIRM FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY

Build your dairy breed on a firm

Good MILK, Free From Offensive
Odors, Cannot Be Secured Under

The dairyman cannot get good milk,
free from odors and fit to sell on the
city market, when his stables are kept

There Is no advantage in cooking or
