PRODUCING MILK
WITHOUT GRAIN
Figures for Experiments ShOU
1t Can be Successfully Done
on Alfalfa and EnsiIdge

What will a dairy COW do in the way
of milk and butter fat production when
fed on roughage exclusively? Perhaps
the consensus of opinion is that she will
not do very well, but department of
agriculture figures show what a few
cows did that were fed on alfalfa hay
and corn silage, without grain.
mature Holstein cow was pasturcd
on irrigated, tame grass at the depart
ment farm at Huntly, Mont. During the
winter months she received nothing but
corn silage and alfalfa hay. She was
under test, and was MIXED three times
q day. For 140.5 days and ninety-eight
nights she was on pasture. During the
rest of the year she consumed 9,014
pounds of alfalfa hay and S,9S5 pounds
of corn silage, a rather large amount OF
bulky feed. While this ration was fed,
the COW maintained her weight at prac-
tically what it was at the beginning Of
the test, and produced 14,2101 pounds
of milk and 470.24 pounds of butter fat.
For the twelve months following the
next freshening, this same cow was
milked three times a day, and was given,
in addition to roughage, all the grain
she would eatl The surprising fact is
that she ate Jo56 pounds of grain and
practically t the same amount; of rough:
age as before. The actual quantities of
roughage were 10,093 pounds of alfalfa
hay, S,325 pounds of silage and 4,230
pounds of beets. She was on pasture
13O days and no nights. The milk pro-
duction for the year was 25,499.4
pounds, and butter fat 823.11 pounds,
and the grain i'll weight 200 pounds.

are coming to the doors of American

And we are turning them away; turn

10 PER CENT. OF CHICKS
RAISED on STATION FARM.

Lexington, KY. Prevention OF
chick diseases along with recommend
ed methods of feeding and manage
ment make it possible to raise 80
out of every 100 chicks that are
Matched on the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station farm it is said.
On some farms in the state, not more
than one-half the chicks that hatch
are raisedd while in several cases, the
loss of all chicks has been repored, the
station poultrymen say. A large per-
centage o fthe heaviest losses is due
TO some of the common chick ailments
which could have been prevented,
according to j. K. Smyth, extension
poultryman.
"The most common of these Is white
diarrhea which is found in two forms.
Bacillary white diarrhea, which is
contagious and is transmitted from
hen to chick through the egg, is not
common in Kentucky. Most cases Of
this disease found in the state are the
common white diarrhea caused by
chilling, overheating the chicks, feed
ing them too soon or overlooking
them. Buttermilk or sour skimmilk
will aid in curing an dcontroliing this
trouble.
"Gapes also is responsible for many
chick losses, this trouble being caused
by cape worms getting in the wind
pipe These worm live in the ground
and come up on the grass blades when
the dew is on them. Putting the chicks
on ground where chicks have never
been raised before and blowing up the
old runs and seeding them with crop
is preventative measure for this
trouble. If this connot be done, it will
help to keep the chicks off the grass
in the morning until the dew is gone.
Three OOPS of violin added to each
pint of the chicks drinking water also
is helpful
"a few cases CT leg weakness have
been repored from various parts of the
state this year. Feeding milk or a
ration containing bone meal helps to
control this trouble. Getting the
chicks out on the ground as soon as
possible is an important point in con-
trolling leg weakness. If the weather
is unfavorable. piece Of sod turned
bottom side up may be placed in the
house. Feeding the grain in litter
to induce exercise also is an impor-
tant point
