1t is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when 1t is considered that large
number of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and

satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all, keeps COWS

Many agricultural schools and ex-

them for the same reason.

THE AVERAGE REFoRMER.
National Crop Improvement Seryice.l


The average reformer having so
little at stake himself, plunges about
IKE a 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-plate to
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it is said that
an order was made that steel was to
DO diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
It looked all right on the face of it.,
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 a pet reform which is
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 a
right to demand that that delicate
machine dairy cow-shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efticacious. 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.

FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE
POUND OF GRAIN.

National Crop Improvement Service,l
G. II. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, a progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
ne found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per cow per day and
nearly 5 cents per COW. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured &C.
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make a balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

self with 275 other Harvard under

Abernathy's record became known
when an article prepared by Professor
Muensterberg two weeks before his
death for the Harvard Illustrated be-

In making his tests the professor had
his pupils pick five printed lines Of
letters hidden in a series of letters
jumbled together. Another test was
that of selecting names of cities and
animals with disarranged letters. Then
series of words was given from
which the name Of some prominent
American was to be taken. Five min

WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

There is an old story about ship
captain who had medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
At 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. AZ
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
that many feeder will think that II
a little of cottonseed 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 SUI
fer for an overdose or an underdose
before the proper ration is estab-
liShed.

MUST TASTE GOOD.

national Crop improvement Servlce.]
A dairy ration must, of all things,
be palatable so that COW will eat it.
1t must be bulky and coarse so as to
avoid indigestion and sickness. It
must contain a variety of foods so
that the COW will not tire of it or get
OF her feed. It must contain enough
real protein-all protein is not alike.
1t must contain the right amounts
and kinds of mineral substances nee
essary to life, health and milk secre-
tlon. 1t must be highly digestible.
Many feeds are only about fifty to
sixty per cent digestible and the work
OF excreting so much waste matter is
costly in that it uses up the energy of
the food to do 1t.

AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products

purely guessing. Only few years ago
intentional fraud or unintentional
carelessness was the rule. Before the

miilcrs we're 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.

thing they can mix with paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to q
great extent In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
