Good Feeds Favored for
Cows Just After Calving

For five or six days after calving
feed the COW bran mashes with leg
ume roughage and a limited amount
of silage. The water supply should
not be overlooked at this time, also
the appetite of the COW must be
watched carefully. The grain ration
must be increased very slowly at first.
After four or five days, during which
time oats and corn have again been
introduced into the ration. the regu-
lar 4-2-1 ration may be fed, up to four
to five pounds per day. From this on
the increase should be made at the
rate of one pound every third or
fourth day until the maximum pro-
duction is reached. When any addi-
tional Increase of concentrates does
not Increase the flow, 1t is well to,
drop back slightly and 1t will be noted
that the COW will then increase still
further In production. Full feeding
should not be reached until four to
six weeks after freshening. No def
mite rule can be given, but 1t may be
said that one pound of grain is safe
guide for each three pounds of Jersey
and Guernsey milk or four pounds of
Ayrshire, Holstein or Shorthorn milk
produced daily.

DAIRY
KEEP DAIRY COWS
FOR FUN IN DAKOTA

A survey Of the cost of producing
butterfat, conducted ill kinssbury
county. South Dakota. by representa-
tives OF the Agricultural college and
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, showed that al least one
man not only kept cows for the fun of
1t but lost six cents for every hour Of
labor he spent on them.
Twelve men in the county that were
doing sufficient dairying to warrant
their inclusion In the study were re-
ported. Only two have COWS of strictly
dairy breeus and make dairying their
main line Of work. The others have
cows OF mixed breeding that are more
Of beef than dairy type. Feeding
steers and milking cows is Of about
equal Importance in the community.
A comparison OF the highest and low
est costs Of producing pound of but
terfat was made.
The farmer with the highest cost
maintained an average of nine cows
throughout the year. the lowest cost
farmer 40 cows. Both men had red
cows and both fed approximately the
same feed. The man with highest costs
had a better set of buildings and spent
1875, hours of man labor on his cows
compared with 1913 hours in the low
cost herd.
The chief differences come about in
the cost of feed and returns per COW.
The high-cost man fed his cows $26.9S
of feed apiece each year and the low
cost man SALT. The total cost for
keeping COW for year was $7267
and Ss5.51 respectively in the two
herds. This difference was greatly re-
duced when the lOw-cost man received
credit for several Of his poor cows
that he sold for beef. The high-cost
man produced IS pounds of butterfat
per COW while the low-cost mans herd
averaged 173 pounds, or 9S pounds
more per COW. The first man realized
$3.50 per COW year for butterfat,
while the second collected $500 per
COW.
After labor and other costs Of pro
duction were deducted, the man with
the poor cows lost six cents an hour
for every hour he labored with his
cows while the owner Of the good herd
made 95 cents an hour. Credits in both
cases were allowed for calves born
during the year, skim milk, manure
and COWS sold during the year. More
liberal feeding Of better cows Jnade

radio frequency currents may pass. 1t
is suggested that 301A tubes be used
in all reflex circuits, since this tube
responds to radio frequency currents
much better than others.
If this tube is used 1t would be ad-
yisable to employ 50-ohm rheostat
in the event that six-volt battery is
used.
The constructor attempting to build
either Of these sets should not employ
direct regeneration. Once the tube
starts tpscillating the whole set may
become paralyzed due to the choking
of the tubes.
Different types Of tubes have vari-
GUS effects with the transformers en-
ployed in the set. There are a number
of good radio frequency transformers
now on the market. At times 1t is
best to employ high ratio audio
transformer in the A. F. stage. With
this type Of set either loop or aerial
may be used. If the tube spills over,
reduce the values of the capacity in
shunt to the secondaries Of the wind
ings of the transformers. In using the
30lA tubes it will be found that most
of the tuning will be done by the use
Of the rheostats, potentiometer and
condenser In shunt to loop-New York

DAIRY NOTES

Churns are made of wJod because
metal heats too easily.
Breed ns many cows as possible in
order to have them freshen next fall.
The highest priced bull In the world
is scrub. He is a luxury Which few
farms are able to enjoy.
Don't buy bull whose dam can't
qualify for the advanced registry of
the breed to which she belongs.
Some people like company, at least
that seems to be the only excuse they
have for keeping Improbable cows
and hens as winter boarders.
The theory of feeding calves whole
grain when they are from month to
eight months of age is that the chew
ing OF the grain promotes the flow of
saliva which Is conducive to better
digestion. Good clover. pea or alfalfa
hay Is Indispensable for feeding win
ter calves and even the summer calves
on good pasture will result In better
growth
