Feeding- Grain for iVlilk 



All kinds of grain are relatively the cows in each 



high. Taking feeding effects and 

 cost into consideration, .the follow- 

 ing mixtures are suggested: (i) 

 loo lbs. bran, too lbs flour mid- 

 dlings, loolbs. cottonseed or gluten 

 meal; mix and feed seven to eiglu 

 ([uarts daily. (2) 100 lbs. bran, 

 150 lbs. of corn and cob meal, 100 

 lbs. cottonseed or gluten meal; mi.x 

 and feed seven or eight quarts 

 daily. (3) 100 lbs. corn or corn 

 meal, 125 lbs. gluten feed; mix and 

 feed five to six quarts daily, prefer- 

 ably mixed with corn ensilage. 

 Very satisfactory and economic re- 

 sults were obtained at this station 

 with the following : ( i ) 200 lbs. dis- 

 tillers' dried grain, 150 lbs. corn 

 and corn meal, rji.K and feed five to 

 six quarts daily. (2) 100 lbs. dis- 

 tillers dried grain, 100 lbs. flour 

 middlings, mix and feed six to 

 eight quarts daily. — Massa huselts

The trouble withmany dairymen 

 is that they do not train their cows 

 when they are young to be persis- 

 tent milkers, says an exchange. 

 Why should we keep a coa? that 

 will give milk only eight months of 

 the year, and let her run dry and 

 just hoard with us for four months? 

 There is neither profit nor sense in 

 that. The saying is true that ' the 

 nimble sixpence soon overtakes the 

 slow-shilling ' ' 



A comparison was recently made 

 of mixed milk from a number of 

 llolstein cows and from the same 

 number of Jersey cows as regards 

 skimming qualities. Two hundred 

 ]30unds of milk from each breed 

 was separated in each of se\'en trials 

 under like condition. The average 

 fat content of the Holsteiu milk 

 was 3.77 per cent and of the skim 

 milk .077 per cent. The average 

 fat content of the Jersey milk was 

 5.65 per cent and of the skim milk 

 •"3^5 per cent. In a second experi- 

 ment extending over four montlis 



breed were in 

 corresponding stages of lactation 

 and different separators were used. 

 In each of twenty-nine trials 100 

 pounds of milk of each breed was 

 separated. The average fat con- 

 tent of the Holstein milk was 3.45 

 per cent and of the skim milk .18S 

 per cent. The average fat content 

 of the Jersey milk was 5.71 per cent 

 and of the skim milk .095. 



A correspondent in a recent issue 

 of Dairy and Produce Review, 

 urges that buttermakers be dis- 

 couraged in the high flavor craze, 



which is .so prevalent among them; 

 and to pay more attention to the 

 keeping quality of their product. 

 The claim is made that the high 

 flavor which is sought for, and on 

 which butter judges have laid too 

 much stress, is but a step toward 

 rancidity. He would have tbeni 

 sacrifice this "quick" flavor in a 

 fresh product lor a "low" clean 

 flavored and good keeping quality, 

 maintaining that such butter in a 

 good cold storage will natulally ac- 

 quire a higher flavor iu time.
