HOW FEEDING BETTERS MILK
important Relation Shown Between
Milk Secretion and Certain
Mineral Substances.

Experiments conducted by the bu-
reau of animal industry, United States
department of agriculture, with dairy
cows are showing an important rela-
ton between milk secretion and GER
tain mineral substances. Feeding Com
pounds of phosphorus and calcium
have resulted In decidedly beneficial
effect on the milk flow In both guam
tity and fat content.
1t has been shown also that de-
ticiency of phosphorus in dairy rations
has a detrimental effect on milk Sc
erection of cows and growth of calves.
A remedy was found in the addition Of
sodium phosphate to rations deficient
in phosphorus. The work Is being
continued.

DAIPY NOTEs


Use small top pail.
It's the top dollar that puts the
cream into the cream check.
Land which Is not suitable for cul-
tivation can be utilized for pasturage
for dairy cows.
When cows are feeding on good pas
turage and especially on alfalfa, little
or no oil meal is required.
There never was time when 1t
was more necessary to weed out the
'boarders" In dairy herd than now.
Grass, hay, corn fodder and other
roughage which may not have ready
sale are economically utilized by the
dairy cow.
A herd Of rugged, outstanding fe-
males would not likely cross satisfac-
torily with a sire of the same type and
conformation.
Cows should be fed only at regular
intervals. The digestive organs &C.
customed to doing their work at
stated intervals are not nearly 90
apt to become oyerworked.

RECORD KEEPING PAYS WELL
Everything Must Be Considered In
Light Of Scales, Babcock Test
and Cost Of Milk.

Before the results of modern herd
records were known dairy cattle were
admitted 10 the herd books, and
bought and sold chiefly on their out
ward appearances. There was no
standard by which to determine the
relation of form to production. A nice
looking COW was the one which
brought the most money. What con-
stituted such a COW was largely mat
ter of opinion or prejudice.
With the Introduction of herd rec
ords opinions came to be valued In
direct proportion to ones understand
Ing Of the relation of form to produc-
tSpn. Everything must be determined
in the light Of the scales, the Babcock
test, and the cost of milk production.

INGREDIENTS OF CALF MEAL
Some Of Most Commonly Used Mate.
rails Are cornmeaI, Middlings,
Wheat Flour, Etc.

A calf meal, In order to give success,
should be made up of ingredients that
are easily digested and that are not
too expensive. A few OF the most
commonly used materials are: fine
cornmeal, flour middlings, wheat -four
(poor grade), ground rice, oat flakes,
barley malt, cocoanut meal, linseed
meal, flaxseed meal, cottonseed meal,
blood flour, blood meal and dried skim
milk or skimmlk powder. Skimmilk
powder is not absolutely essential and
1t Is rather expensive, but many of the
calf meals that have given the best
results have contained considerable
amounts Of 1t.
