Ration  for  Jersey  Cow 
Will  you  five  n  good  ration  for  a  Jer¬ 
sey  cow ?  At  present  am  feeding  three 
parts  bran  to  two  parts  eornmeal  per 
moss:  alsn  bay  for  roughage  a  yd  man¬ 
gels.  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  more 
variety  of  grain  would  produce  better  re¬ 
sults.  I  low  long  would  a  ton  of  luiy  last 
for  a  cow  if  fed  twice  per  day?  w.  K. 
New  Jersey. 
You  are  feeding  your  cow  a  very  good 
ration  except  that  it  is  deficient  in  pro¬ 
tein.  If  you  would  mix  four  parts  wheat 
bran,  two  parts  gluten  feed  and  two 
parts  eornmeal  by  weight  you  would  have 
a  much  better  ration.  You  could  use  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal  in  the.  place  of  gluten  feed 
or  hominy  in  tho  place  of  the  eornmeal  if 
you  cared  to  do  so.  We  usually  figure 
that  a  ton  of  hay  will  last  a  cow  about 
100  days,  but  of  course  this  varies  ac¬ 
cording  to  the  cow.  the  quality  of  the  hay 
and  liberality  of  tho  feeder.  c.  s.  c.

CORN  CULTURE 
Tower  Cultivators  went  into  the  fields 
three  days  earlier  than  the  shovels 
after  a  rain.  Earlier  maturity  of  the 
corn  was  the  result. 
V.  II.  Peek,  Hull.  III., writes; 
“We  can  use  surface  cultivators  after  a 
rain  three  days  sooner  than  a  shovel  pLow

H.  L.  Chapman,  Jersey ville,  Ill.,  writes  : 
“It  was  a  wot  season — with  your  two-

Feeding  Holstein  Calves 
What  is  the  best  method  for  feeding 
Holstein  calves  for  dairy  purposes?  <i.  a. 
Calves  should  lie  taken  from  dant  at 
one  to  three  days  of  age  and  taught  to 
drink  whole  milk.  10  to  12  pounds  daily. 
Whole  milk  alone  should  be  fed  for  10 
days,  and  thou  a  pound  of  skim-milk  can 
take  place  of  a  pound  of  whole  milk,  each 
day,  until  calves  are  on  skim-milk.  For 
Holstein  calves  10  to  IS  pounds  of  skim- 
ntilk  may  be  fed.  The  amount  of  skirn- 
iii ilk  fed’ and  the  length  of  time  it  is  fed 
is  determined  by  tbe  amount  mi  hand  to 
feed.  At  three  weeks  of  age  or  there¬ 
abouts  the  calves  should  begin  to  eat
