RAnoMs TO PRODUCE MILK
Cow Should BE Fed So That Greatest
Possible Amount Of Feed Goes
70 supply Milk.

Prepared by the United stares DEPART
nent OF Agriculture)
Many owners OF cows are confront
I'd with the problem Of supplying eco
n0mical milk-producing rations for
their COWS. Under these conditions
there is a strong temptation to cut
down on the amount given to each
animal. The total quantity Of feed
must be sufficient, and if the concen-
trates are cut down, more and better
roughage must be supplied.
The reduction Of feed below a GER
tain amount alawys means a reduction
in the amount ofsmiIk the COW pro-
duces. There may be exceptional
cases where the owner Is feeding more
than is necessary for the maximum
milk production, but the greatest dan
ger is the other extreme. The COW
requires a certain amount OF feed to,
maintain her body. The amount she
receives above this maintenance ration
goes either to meat or milk produc-
ton. The COW should be fed so that
ehS SASdtcoI pOoolpiC dhAOuht VI leu
goes to actual milk production. A
few simple rules are offered to this
end.
1. Highly specialized cows, which
never carry excessive fat and are per
sistent mixers, being dry only
month or so, should receive all they
will consume. With such cows econ
omy in feeding is equivalent to liberal
feeding.

those which tend to beefness. the
