F. E.. Ostrander of Tempe Normal School
 discusses Dairy Talk Number 69.- Farmers.
|No. "A
dairymen and professors are urged to join discussion of dairy topics.

It Is by having various dairy topics dis cussed by such men Professor Ostrander that we shall arrive at only the best methods of doing things on the dairy farm and we are truly thankful for this letter and the others which we hope will follow. We earnestly hope that not only will the heads of expert mental farms and agricultural stations take part Tn our discussions but the farmers and dairymen as we'll. The informative matter which utilize Is drawn from a great vari- ety of sources, and sometimes we may permit theory to be advanced which is really un- tenable, in order to stimulate discussion. Such discussion will usually clarify the situa- ton and prove of great value to our readers, since all angles of the proposition under con- sideration will be uncovered.

 sWs find ,;.s in our E work ratio" even In Dairy Talks No. 69, we answered the let ters of J. F. Hunsaker and J. L. Nesbit, and advocated ration of bran principally because one man was inclined to be afraid of cotton seed products and the other man had some bran on hand. The proportion based upon a paper presented, we believe by Far rington, but of this we would not take oath. We really should have amplified answer as our authorities pointed out the possibilities of the condition which you say you have dis covered in your experience. However, we know of instances where this ration has brought only good results.
 In saying, Do not undertake to feed your cows in proportion to the amount of milk they give" we really wished to warn those who would milk their cows poor''-talking only the milk production of the animal into consid- eration when feeding, allowing nothing for the animals bodily upkeep.
 A perfect ration should provide for the we'll being of the cow we'll for a good flow of milk of butter fat content large enough to justify her retention as a milk cow.
 We should very much like a contribution from you Mir. Ostrander on the subject of Feeding" with instances from your own perience, also something regarding Breed ing" and your experience with different breeds of dairy cattle.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business.
