RATIONS FOR DAIRY CATTLE
Corn Slower Should Form Ono OF
Main Sources of Roughage for
Cows and Young Stock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
While corn slower and straw from
the various cereals are not adapted
for producing the largest flow of milk,
they may be fed to dairy cattle. The
amount to use of these materials Will
depend, of course, upon the supply at
hand on the farm. When an abundance
of corn slower is available it should
form one of the main sources OF dry
roughage for dry cows, young stock.
and cows in milk. To use slower eco
nomically 1t should be cut or shredded.
for then 1t will be eaten more COM
pletely and there will be less waste.
Corn slower may be fed to milking
cows without limit, when they receive
In addition grain, silage, and some
leguminous hay. Under these condi-
lions the ordinary cow will eat large
part of from to 8 pounds Of slower
daily. For dry cows and young stock
the proportion can be greatly In
creased, care being taken to be sure
that there is plenty Of protein In the
ration. In certain instances corn stow
er has been cut and put into the silo
with the addition Of plenty of water,
and the resulting silage is of fair quail
tty. If a silo is available, empty or
partly so, corn fodder which has been
well shocked and Is not severely
weathered may be ensiled to advan-
n..x IN, moro
convenient for feeding in the barn,
and cows will consume more Of 1t than
If fed dry.
Dat, barley, and wheat straw can
form a considerable portion OF the
dry roughage for all classes of dairy
cattle. Straw is used In much the
same proportions as corn slower, and
q sprinkling of thin mOlasses has been
found to increase greatly the palata-
bility, causing the cows to consume
large quantities Of the straw. When
feeding barley straw it Is advisable to
examine the mouths Of the cattle oc-
casionally, as the boards of the bar
ley when very dry and stiff sometimes
cause painful irritations. Rye straw
cannot be recommended for dairy cat
tie. because of danger from ergot and
on account Of the very tough and fb-
rous nature Of the straw. Buckwheat
straw has a very low feeding value
and should be used when other rough
ages are not obtainable, but in no case
should any straw be wasted. What
cannot be fed should be used for bed

Poor Doo Under Shell Fire.

In a letter describing the behavior
Of domestic animals under fire sol
der says: A big black mongrel came
into our improvised trench late one
afternoon. He had survived terr1he
ten hours bombardment of she'll and
gas and sank down by my side utterly
exhausted. His body became inert
and nothing, not even the tenderest
bits of bully beef, would make him
move. His brown eyes looked mourn
fully into mine as If longing to tell
me something. Just then the Boone
commenced strafing, and at every ex-
plosion a shiver ran through his body.
I do not know what became OF the
Door beast. There was an engagement
soon afterward and this big black
mongrel disappeared.
