Utilizing  Oats  and  Rye 
Can  yon  assist  me  in  balancing  a  ra¬ 
tion  for  my  herd  of  nine  grade  Guernseys 
averaging  10  quarts  per  day  apiece?  At 
present  I  have  seconrl-growtb  Timothy 
for  pasture  and  am  feeding  green  fodder 
corn  and  ground  oats  with  a  little  ground 
rye.  I  feed  one  pound  of  grain  mixture, 
to  each  five  pounds  of  milk.  I  would 
like  to  know  just  how  to  feed  them  while 
on  pasture,  also  after  they  are  sta¬ 
bled.  I  have  plenty  of  oats  and 
rye  now.  and  will  have  corn  and  corn 
stover  in  abundance  shortly.  1  have  a 
little  millet  hay.  some  fair  mixed  hay, 
a  few  mangels  and  sugar  beets:  can  buy 
gluten  .meal  at  $1.50:  bran  $1.40; 
dried  brewers*  grain  $1.15;  commercial 
feed  $1.00.  Which  will  pay  me  better,  to 
sell  my  oats  at  50  ets  a  bushel  and  my 
rye  at  85  cts.,  or  have  them  ground  at 
10  ets.  a  hundred  and  feed  them?  Cows 
have  access  to  oat  straw  at  all  times.  I 
would  like  to  feed  cob  meal  later,  when 
the  corn  is  dry  enough.  Is  rye  a  safe 
feed  for  cows?  e.  c.  ii. 
Pittstown,  X.  .T. 
A  limited  amount  of  rye  mixed  with 
other  feeds  is  all  right  for  dairy  cows  as 
far  as  the  physiological  effect  is  concern¬ 
ed.  If  you  can  sell  your  rye  at  85c  per 
bushel  you  cannot  afford  to  feed  it  to  your 
cows.  Oats  at  50c  per  bushel  plus  10c 
for  grinding  are  an  expensive  feed  when 
compared  to  other  dairy  cow  feeds.  I 
should  dispose  of  most  of  them  in  another 
way,  keeping  enough  for  calf  feediug, 
arid  to  use  in  special  rations  for  par¬ 
ticular  purposes. 
The  rate  of  grain  feeding,  one  pound  to 
5  lbs.  of  milk  is  about  right  when  cows 
are  on  good  pasture.  Your  grain  ration, 
oats  and  rye.  is  expensive  and  slightly 
lacking  in  protein.  Either  of  the  follow¬ 
ing  rations  would  he  better.  1.  1  part 
wheat  bran.  1  part  cornmeal.  Vi  part 
cottonseed  meal.  2.  1  part  wheat  bran, 
!4  part  gluten  feed,  Yi  part  cornmeal. 
I  note  that  you  have  some  miscellane¬ 
ous  roughage  to  feed  when  your  cows  go 
off  pasture.  This,  however,  is  of  a  low 
protein  nature,  hence  the  grain  ration 
must  contain  the  protein  to  balance  up 
this  deficiency.  The  following  mixture 
should  prove  satisfactory:  100  lbs.  corn 
and  cob  meal,  200  lbs  gluten  meal,  100 
lbs.  dried  distillers’  grains  and  100  lbs. 
wheat  bran.  These  feeds  I  have  se¬ 
lected  from  the  list  given  in  your  letter. 
Feed  this  ration  at  rate  of  a  pound  of 
grain  to  ?>*/>  lbs.  of  milk.  Add  1  per 
cent  salt  to  mixture  when  it  is  made  up. 
Since  you  have  no  Rilage  your  beets  and 
mangel's  certainly  will  coine  in  handy. 
I  should  make  them  go  as  far  as  possible, 
feeding  say  15  lbs.  once  a  day  along  with 
what  bay  and  corn  stover  the  cows  will 
clean  up.  n.  e.  J.

The  digestive  organs  are  paralyzed ; 
food  lies  in  an  undigested  mass  in  the 
stomach;  it  sours  and  ferments  and 
decomposes.  Do  you  wonder  that  so 
many  calves  die  in  a  few  hours  after 
cholera  strikes  ? 
Dr.  David  Roberts’ 
CALF  CHOLERA  REMEDY 
overcomes  the  trouble  by  righting  the  digestive  organs.  It  regulates  the  flow  of  gastric 
juice  and  soothes  and  heals  the  sore  mucous  membrane.  It  liquefies  the  poifeonous  gases 
already  formed  in  the  stomach  and  prevents  fermentation,  liigeslion  becomes  normal 
and  the  disease  is  ended.  Don’t  let  the  trouble  go  too  far.  Degin  wit.i  Calf  Cholera 
Remedy  right  away  when  scours  appear.  The  disease  is  contagious. 
Dr.  David  Koberts  Laxotome 
Removes  all  risk  of  improper  treatment  of  live  stock  for  stoppage  of  the  bowels 
Three  out  of  four  cases  of  stoppage  of  the  bowels  are  due  to  paralysis  of  the  bowels. 
This  is  caused  by  partial  or  complete  paralysis  of  the  digestive  organs.  The  food  and 
contents  of  the  bowels  be  dormant,  decomposition  sets  in  and  gives  off  a  poisonous  gas 
The  result  is  that  the  animals  show  high  fever,  sunken  eyes,  loss  of  appetite  and  a 
gradual  wasting  away  until  finally  death  conies.  Dr.  David  Roberts’  Lnxotosvc  relieves 
the  paralytic  condition  of  the  digestive  organs,  moves  the  rapidly  decomposing  matter 
along  and  opens  the  bowels.

Feeding  Ration  for  Jersey 
I  have  just  bought  a  Jersey  cow  to  ex¬ 
periment  with  :  she  is  to  freshen  in  Nov¬ 
ember.  We  are  now  getting  five  quarts 
fine  milk.  I  have  bran,  middlings,  corn 
chop,  corn  gluten  and  cottonseed  meal, 
clover  hay,  pasture  short.  Will  you  com¬ 
pound  a  balanced  ration  from  what  I 
have?  I  use  same  for  chickens,  and 
would  not  care  to  buy  other  things,  like 
brewers’  or  distillers’  graius.  Tell  me 
about  bow  much  to  feed  before  calving 
and  after.  J.  it-  r. 
Maryland. 
In  figuring  a  ration  for  your  cow  I 
have  figured  on  the  basis  of  000-lb.  cow 
giving  25  lbs.  of  5  per  cent,  milk  This 
being  the  case,  a  balanced  ration  from  the 
feeds  mentioned  could  be  made  by  feed¬ 
ing  16  lbs,  clover  hay  daily  along  with 
a  pound  of  grain  to  2%  to  3  lbs.  of  milk 
produced  daily  from  the  following  mix¬ 
ture  : 
4  parts  corn  chop 
1  y2  parts  gluten  feed 
8  parts  bran 
1  part  middlings 
Y>  part  cottonseed  meal 
In  making  up  ration  mix  1  per  cent, 
coarse  fine  salt  with  the  grain.  When 
the  cow  is  dry,  feed  her  enough  grain  to 
have  her  in  good  condition  when  she 
freshens.  Three  to  five  pounds  daily 
from  the  above  mixture  should  do  it.

Improving  a  Ration 
Can  you  tell  me  in  what  proportion  to 
mix  the  following  grains  to  secure  a  bal¬ 
anced  ration,  bran,  gluten,  hontiny? 
Should  a  fourth  grain  he  added?  If  so 
what  would  you  suggest?  We  feed  mixed

Figuring  on  the  basis  of  1000-lb.  cow 
producing  25  lbs.  4  per  cent,  milk  daily 
the  cow  would  consume  16  to  IS  lbs.  hay. 
This  being  the  case  she  would  need  about 
0  lbs.  grain  which,  if  only  gluten,  bran 
and  liominy  were  used,  would  have  to  be 
mixed  five  of  gluieu,  three  of  bran  and 
one  of  hominy.  This  i9  not  a  very  desir¬ 
able  ration;  it  contains  more  gluten  feed 
than  is  usually  fed.  A  better  grain  ra¬ 
tion  would  be  two  of  gluten,  three  of 
bran,  two  of  cottonseed  and  1  Ys  of  hom¬ 
iny.  The  ration  would  be  improved  still
