Cows On Pasture
Also Need Grain
Feed In Summer
Actual Figures Are Given By
United States Department
Of Agriculture.

When cows are turned on good
pasture in the spring and early sum-
mer, the amount of grain fed in
their ration can be reduced, said
John A. Arey, extension dairy spe-
cialist at State College.
Grazing on lush grasses, a cow
can obtain enough nutrients with
the roughage to sustain her body
weight and produce a certain guam
tity of milk.
A Holstein on good pasture needs
grass to maintain body weight and
produce about 80 pounds of milk a
day-a Jersey cow 20 pounds. But
when producing more milk, the
cows should receive enough grain
to compensate for the extra milk
given.
A Holstain on good pasture needs
about rs of a pound of grain for
each pound of milk she produces
daily above 80 pounds.
A Jersey on good rhsture, be-
cause her milk is richer in butter
fat, will need about 3-5 of a pound
OF grain for each pound of milk she
produces above 20 pounds day.
These figures were arrived at by
research workers who conducted
feeding experiments at the U. S. De-
partment of Agrtcnlture's expert
ment farm at Beltsville, Maryland.
But Arey warned that the cows
will need more grain when pasture
is short as result of dry weather
early in the season, or when the
pasture grasses become more ma
ture in July and August.
AS the grass gets older, the
amount of crude fibre is increased
while the amount of nutrients de-
creases. On the other hand, grass
that is just getting started early in
the year is watery and low in feed
value. The best grazing is secured
between these two periods.

Summer Nights

(By Josephine Weaver, Brandon,
N. c.
Summer nights are clear and cool,
They ever speak of Natures rule,
They mock the great sculptor's
works,
To them lifelong memory turks.
Tiny stars are twinkling bright,
Moonbeams casting radiant light,
Shadows creeping in and out,
Sometimes CHASTITY, though, no
doubt.
The silvery moon peeps down and
smiles,
Much amused at earthly miles,
While crickets chirp from grassy
hooks
And from banks along the brooks.
NightingaleS are softly singing,
Echoes in the woods are ringing,
Cooling breezes gently blowing,
Crystal steams are clearly flowing.
Oh, how romantic to behold
When Natures wonders all unfold!
When summer comes in blooming
prime,
Enchanting beauty, sweet, sublime!
