1  smut'  Composition.  If  you  must  feed  the 
Timothy  ha.v,  the  grain  ration,  in  order  to 
he  balanced,  would  have  to  be  made  up 
of  cottonseed  meal  our  highest  protein 
concentrate.  Of  course,  you  can  feed 
Timothy  apd  the  grain  ration  made  np  of 
equal  parts  of  the  grain  that  you  have  on 
hand,  hilt  it  will  he  poor  economy.  That 
is,  your  cows  cannot  on  this  feed  give 
you  the  best  there  is  in  them.  I  should 
sell  wheat  and  oats  if  possible,  and  then 
buy  some  cottonseed  meal ;  then  feed 
about  four  parts  cottonseed  and  one  part 
ground  barley  and  buckwheat  with  your 
Timothy. 
It.  is  rather  an  unfortunate  situation. 
Y  hen  one  wishes  to  feed  cows,  and  he 
grows  the  carbohydrate  feeds  on  the  farm, 
he  must  then  lruy  his  protein  and  vice 
versa.  If  possible,  he  should  grow  a 
supply  of  hoth.  examples  of  which  are 
Alfalfa  or  clover  hay  for  protein  and 
corn  silage,  corn  of  the  small  grades,  for 
concentrates.  In  that  way  only  can  a 
desirable  ration  be  made  up  from  home¬ 
grown  feeds.  it.  f.  j.

Your  silo,  to  produce  the  best  silage,  should  be  round,  air-tight 
at  the  sides  and  bottom,  and  should  have  absolutely  smooth  interior 
walls.  This  latter  is  most  important,  as  inequalities  in  the  walls  mean 
spaces  in  which  air  can  gather  and  cause  decay.  Build  with

Feeding  Beet  Pulp 
With  clover  hfty  and  beet  pulp  does  it 
need  gluten  or  middlings  to  balance  the 
ration  for  milch  cows,  and  how  muea 
beet  and  other  grains?  Cows  all  young.

Assuming  the  average  live  weight  of 
your  cows  to  be  900  lbs.  and  the  test  of 
the  milk  4  per  cent.,  the  following  is  a 
good  daily  ration :  15  lbs.  clover  hay. 
5  lbs.  dried  beet  pulp.  1  lb.  oil  meal.  2 
lbs.  distillers’  grains,  1  lb.  middlings.  1 
per  cent.  salt. 
This  is  for  25  lbs.  of  milk.  Soak  the 
beet  pulp  with  warm  water  and  feed  2^4 
lbs.  twice  a  day.  With  mixed  hay  change 
the  grain  ration  to  one  part  oil  meal,  two 
parts  distillers’  grains,  two  parts  cotton¬

More  Protein  Needed 
I  have  a  dairy  of  20  cows.  I  am  feed¬ 
ing  2  parts  union  grains.  2  parts  beet 
pulp.  2  parts  chip  feed.  1  part  gluten, 
with  good  hay  and  oat  straw  for  rough- 
age.  Is  that  a  good  feed  for  milk?  If 
not  how  can  I  mix  it  for  improvement? 
New  York.  w.  o.  v.  av. 
Your  roughage  is  lacking  in  protein. 
Your  grain  ration  does  not  supply  sulli- 
oient  protein  to  balance  the  ration.  The 
beet  pulp  is  an  excellent  feed  to  keep  in 
the  ration  because  of  its  physiological 
effect.  Continue  to  feed  2  to  4  lbs.  of 
this  beet  pulp  daily.  Soak  the  pulp  in 
warm  water;  1  lb.  of  pulp  will  absorb 
about  3  lbs.  of  water.  Feed  what  hay 
and  straw  the  cows  will  clean  up.  To 
supply  protein  feed  1  lb.  to  3^  lbs.  milk 
of  the  following  grain  mixture:  2  parts 
cotton  seed  meal.  1  part  linseed  oil  meal, 
1  part  gluten  feed,  2  parts  union  grains,  1

Sheep  Dying 
We  have  about  50  sheep,  and  every  year 
Ave  lose  two  or  three  of  the  best.  The 
sheep  stand  still  if  left  alone;  if  moved 
they  appear  dizzy  and  get  down  on  their 
knees,  and  sometimes  go  sideways  and 
fall  down,  appear  weak.  The  trouble 
seems  to  he  in  the  head;  after  they  arc- 
dead  there  is  a  l’roth.  some  blood,  comes 
from  the  nose.  They  have  been  fed  hay 
and  also  run  to  straw,  and  a  good  large 
run.  What  can  we  do  for  the  sheep? 
New  York.  K,  p.  AAr. 
Such  losses  are  extremely  and  quite  un¬ 
necessarily  common  at  this  season  of  the 
year.  They  are  due  primarily  to  lack  of 
exercise  and  prolonged  overfeeding  upon 
coarse,  dry  bulky  forage  or  roughage. 
Timothy  hay,  straw  and  weathered  corn 
fodder  are  the  most  to  blame.  If  dovev 
or  Alfalfa  hay  is  fed  and  if  roots  or  sil¬ 
age  can  be  added  there  is  little  danger  of 
loss,  provided  the  sheep  are  made  to  take 
abundant  exercise  every  day.  Bran  and 
oats  also  help.  In  most  cases  there  is 
impaction  and  fiver  disease  combined 
with  some  other  cause  of  irritations,  such 
as  gadlly  grubs  in  the  sinuses  of  the  skull 
or  nodular  disease  of  the  intestines  for 
which  there  is  no  successful  treatment. 
Prevention  is  all  important.  Grub  no 
doubt  are  troubling  your  sheep.
