Dairy Cows Must Be
Fed Liberal Ration
Hay, Silage and Grain Mix
ture Needed in Winter.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
II dalry COWS are to be fed for profit
able production they must receive a
liberal ration at all seasons. In sum-
mer, pasture generally is depended
upon, but often it must be supplement-
ed by sOiling crops or silage, and some
times by cOncentrahes as well. For
winter feeding, the ration usually is
composed of hay, silage, and a mixture
OF grains. In properly balancing the
ration the grain mixture is compound
ed to fit the rOughage with due con-
sideration for cost, bulk, palatability,
and physiological effect upon the cow.
For best results, cows must be fed in
dividually, salted regularly, and fur
nished with all the clean water they
will drink.
A few simple guides for feeding have
been summarized by the dairvmen of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as follows: ID Under most
circumstances the COW should be fed |
all the rOughage that she will eat I'D
clean, and the grain ration should be
adjusted to the milk production. (2)
A grain mixture should be fed in the
of one pound to each three
pints or pounds of milk produced daily
by the COW, except in the case of a cow
producing a flow of forty pounds or
more, when the ration may be one
pound to each three and a half or
four pounds of milk. An even better
'ule is one pound of grain each day
or pound of butterfat that the cow j
PRODUCES during the week (3) Feed !
I'll the cow will respond to in milk {
production. When she begins to put @
N flesh, cut down the grain.

RESENTS ATTACK
ON FARM DOGS

The following letter came from q
farmer near Oakley, who objects to
certain propaganda sportsmen circu-
late against the dogs owned by far
mers. It is printed in nearly the eX-
act language of the writer, so that his
point of view may be grasped.-Edi-
tor.
Dear Sir-Permit me to express my
ideas in regards to the article which
appeared in the last issue of the
Chronicle, relative to the game in
Delaware, and it's scarcity. Those who
advocate the protection of game have
adopted the slogan: "tax the dogs
owned by farmers" because they de-
stroy the young game in the breeding
season.
would like to know from whence
those in charge of game preservation,
get their information as to farmers
dogs. 1 would also ask, where would
the so-called spOrtsmen be, were 1t
not for the farmers and their lands, |
where game breeds and grows? 1 ad-
NIT that dogs kill small part of the
game, but that is only small part,
in comparison with what the hawks
and crows destroy.
Then the other Varmits and reptiles
that destroy the game must not be
overlooked. Foxes and cats, snakes,
weasels all take a heavy toll of rabbits
and birds. Their work is done at /
night when game is almost helpless ,
and that part will exceed all damage
done by dogs a hundred fold and +
more. The fox is protected by law and I
farmers must suffer depredatiOns of :
their poultry and let the culprit es- '
cape because of being protected, to af- '
ford pleasure for the sportsmen.
All attempts to change the present
laws on foxes is stopped by the
sportsmen, not by the farmers.
In the neighborhOOd of Oakley, Del, 7
[ venture the assertion, that there are Il
two foxes roaming the fields and
woods, to every rabbit in the same n
erritory. Out of fourteen farm homes T
here are only four hunting dogs and o.
lot one is permitted to run at large
n the summer season. For that reason
he dogs about here are not respon- =
ible for the scarcity of game.
Those who hunt our fields kill to the u
cry last breeder of both rabbit and
