Feeding Dairy Cattle 

 "This COW is an exceptionally large and vigorous animal 

 and never seemed to have enough either when on test or at 

 any time in her life being always up and looking anxiously at 

 the feed door whenever any one started feeding. She never 

 went off feed and we have always thought her a fine candi- 

 date for a long time test but up to the present time we have 

 never been in a position to give her an opportunity. Another 

 thing which might be well to mention is that we have the 

 individual drinking cups and this cow had access to all the 

 spring water she wanted and whenever she wanted it except 

 directly following calving."

Glen Alex Queen De Kol also made her best record of 

 42.35 pounds of butter at Mr. A. C. Howe's farm. She is at 

 present owned at Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Washing- 

 ton. Mr. H. C. Stimson sends me this account of her feed- 

 ing which he received from Mr. Howe : 



"Glen Alex Queen De Kol was born April 9th, 1914. At 

 2 years, 11 months, 20 days, she made the following record 

 having calved (second calf) March 29, 1917: Milk, 603.8; 

 butter, 42.36; best day's milk 91.7. Previous to this test she 

 was fed 200 pounds bran, 200 pounds ground oats, 150 

 pounds hominy, 100 pounds cottonseed meal, 50 pounds Ajax, 

 100 pounds oil meal, beet pulp soaked in water and molasses, 

 5 to 10 pounds daily, about 20 to 30 pounds silage and 10 to 

 15 pounds alfalfa. Two weeks before freshening the Ajax 

 and cottonseed were omitted. After freshening, she was fed 

 50 pounds Ajax, 50 pounds bran, 30 pounds ground oats, 30 

 pounds gluten, 20 pounds oil meal, 4 pounds salt, 2 pounds 

 charcoal. Cottonseed meal was added from time to time, 

 10 to 15 pounds beet pulp per day, 20 to 40 pounds silage, 

 and 10 to 20 pounds alfalfa hay. 



"She has made three 30-pound records since we purchased 

 her. She will weigh above 1800 pounds and if confined will 

 develop a tremendous appetite. We have fed her over 40 

 pounds of grain without the least apparent harm. When 

 released from small quarters this appetite or craving for 

 grain disappears considerably. In all other respects she is 

 absolutely normal, and is an extremely profitable year round 

 producer."

The best way to give us the data on the feeding of 

 some of the best cows at Avondale Farm is to quote directly 

 the letter of Mr. H. Flynn. Mr. Flynn's letter follows :
