by? We hope to have 100 tons

mails OF this class ere standing in
the stable for any considerable Pc
.riod of time. one-third less food will
answer their needs. Cows and beef
cattle should probably be fed from
roughage. depending on their age
and condition. Mich cows at some
periods require much more liberal
feeding than at others. The amount
of grain to feed to different classes
of animals of course varies.
For horses and mules an excellent
mixture would consist of 500 POUNDS
of corn and cob meal, ESQ pounds of
oats and $50 pounds of peanut, soy
bean, cowpea or velvet bean meal.
This combination would answer
quite we'll for dairy cows. 1t would
probably not be sufficiently fatten-.

mixture of equal parts of corn, cot

of protein could be combined very
Well In other words, you might use
corn and cob meal in equal parts
with peanut, soy bean, cowpea or
velvet bean meal for this class or
stock. No hard and fast rule can
be laid down for a proposition such
as Won have submitted.
There are advantages. of course,
in grinding coarse fodder, though
this is a rather expensive propose
ton. Many coarse folders can be
fed to advantage to live stock In
their natural condition. In attempt
ing to grind and prepare a ration
such as you have indicated, 1t seems
to me you could proceed on the basis

suggested with from 1000 to 1000
pounds of the dried and ground
roughage prepared from mixture
of.the crops you state you are grow
ing This. of course. is only a rough
approximation of a combination feed
which you might prepare. One could
not tell about its composition be-
cause it would vary so much owing
OF the percentage of the dl1Iesent
crops produced and the yield per
acre say of the given crops com
bined together. Our thought in
handling this proposition would be
in selling the cured and dried rough
age in baled hay on its merits Ihere
is Il good demand for foodstufs Oh
prices at the present time. We
would sell the grains on their mer-'

ing feeds in the manner indicated
has already been pointed. They DO

Reducing On 1nflamed Udder
