78 How to Make Creamery Butter on the Farm 



Formula for Stock Foods. 



These are the same formulas used in the manufac- 

 ture of advertised stock foods for which the farmer

Feeding should be done right after milking time, 

 in which case feed flavors largely pass off through 

 channels or secretions other than the milk and are not 

 so noticeable. However, most dairymen and farmers 

 understand this, and there is very little milk spoiled 

 from this cause. 



The feeding of dairy cows is a very important mat- 

 ter. The composition of feeds is an interesting sub- 

 ject. Most feeds can and should be grown on the 

 farm. 



The idea of feeding dairy cows simply to dispose 

 of crops is ruinous. The successful idea nowadays 

 is to farm to feed dairy cows.
