DIFFICULT TO MIX FEEDS
A More Scientific Result Can Be Pro.
duced BY Machinery.
National Crop Improvement Service. !


AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difhcult to mix straight by-products
OF oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed
haXseed, etc, by measure, because il is
purely guessing. Only a few years ago
Intentional fraud or unintenticr8l
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.
sumner is not analysed, and the farmer
cannot become feed expert because
he has no laboratory Not one car
out of five hundred is officially in.
spected. In the old days country
millers were throwing feeds tog- lber
with no knowledge of feed apd were
running valuable cows and MAKING the
farmer poorer. In those days the iced
tables were wrong, the feeds didn,t
mt the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
Tor 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 10
mix; and there was an unavoid? IN
variation in the concentration OF the
feed.
These conditions have been laige
overcome through the joint actiou o..
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-,
facturers who have every facility :.
maintaining a uniform product. "
using these scientifically prepare, Z.
feeds, many a herd has doubled its
yield and profits. There are s22lc
painters who can buy lead, oil anG

color uniformly but the best painters
of today have learned that mill.made
brands are much better than any.
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixin.
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advau-
tage. Home mixing cannot he accom-
plished at ,one-tenth ora cent per lb.
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help of a

THE AVERAGE REFoRMER.

National Crop improvement servce.l
The average reformer having so
little at stake himself, plunges about
like 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 1t is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal Of the can manufacturers.
1t looked all right on the face of II,
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 no plunges. The manufac-
turers of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow--shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
eff1cacious. 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.

WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

National Crop Improvement service.l
There is an old story about a ship
captain who had medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
AZ In his book was the indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle of No. AZ
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. Al
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
that many a feeder will think that if
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.
1t is human nature to experiment
In feeds, and the poor COW has to suf-
Ter for an overdose or an underdose
before the proper ration is estab-
lished.

THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation of
InuDedIents,
LNati0nal CrOp ImproTemsnt servIcs.l

National Crop improvement servlcs1
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, tie 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 it 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 digestible
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 il we add together things
which are unlike. we get no tangible
results. 1t is like adding so many
pounds 70 so many gallons. So, the
dtgestihle basis of figuring Tations is
very inaccurate. The correct way Is,
hrst, 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 fst 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 challengS
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same con ditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless " Q try to fin(
out, that a COW will Iao, give NOR,
milk on more feed, or InS ybe as mucl
milk on less feed So eed ing is large
ly experimental, as NO two cows ar
alike.
