There  seems  to  lie  no  doubt,  that  the 
chemists  have  really  succeeded  in  turning 
tiie  horse  chestnut  into  a  suitable  food, 
but  whether  the  process  will  be  profitable 
on  a  return  to  normal  prices  of  ordinary 
grain  is  a  question.  The  raw  horse 
chestnut  remains  the  same,  a  bitter  un¬ 
palatable  nut  eaten  at  times  by  wild 
game,  but  of  very  little  value  in  econom¬ 
ical  agriculture. 
Ration  for  Jersey 
Would  you  give  a  balanced  ration  for 
a  Jersey  cow,  ago  eight  years,  weight 
800  lbs.,'  which  has  not  been  fresh  in  two 
years?  She  is  giving  seven  quarts  milk 
a.  day  at  present.  o.  11  • 
Connecticut. 
In*  figuring  a  ration  for  your  cow.  I 
assume  you  have  a  good  grade  of  mixed 
hay  for  roughage*  Feed  of  this  hay  what 
the  cow  will  clean  up  well.  Feed  a  pound 
of  grain  to  M  lbs.  of  milk  produced  daily 
l  from  the  following  grain  mixture;  - 
parts  distillers’  grains,  1  part  cottonseed 
1  meal,  1  part  gluten  feed,  1  part  dried 
I  beet  pulp,  1%  salt.  The  dried  beet  pulp 
>  may  be  mixed  right  in  with  the  other 
1  grains  dry.  It  makes  a  valuable  addition 
I  to  a  ration  where  there  is  no  succulence.

Buckwheat  tor  Cows 
Dairy  Ration 
Will  you  suggest  a  grain  ration  from 
the  following  to  go  with  wild  land  pas¬ 
ture  cows  to  go  on  corn  silage  as  soon 
as  necessary?  I  can  get  gluten,  cott-m- 
seed  meal,  bran  and  middlings.  Cows  arc 
grades,  average  weight  950  lbs.,  produc¬ 
ing  110  lbs.  4y2 %  milk  daily.  I  am  now 
feeding  one  part  cottonseed  meal,  two 
parts  gluten  and  three  parts  bran  at 
night.  J*  E’  R’ 
Decatur,  Mich. 
I  note  by  your  letter  that  you  can  get 
gluten,  cottonseed  meal,  bran  and  mid¬ 
dlings.  Your  cows  will  doubtless  go  oft 
pasture  soon,  and  I  note,  you  will  feed 
silage.  You  do  not  mention  the  kind  of 
hay  that  will  be  fed.  The  nature  of  the 
gruin  ration  would  depend  largely  on 
this  point.  If  ordinary  mixed  hay  is 
used,  it  would* be  better  to  increase  your 
cottonseed  meal  to  2  to  214  parts  leav¬ 
ing  balance  of  ration  as  it.  is  now.  It 
clover  or  Alfalfa  hay  is  used,  the  ration 
could  be  the  same  as  it  is  now  with  1 
I  have  70  bushels  of  buckwheat  that  I 
was  thinking  of  grinding  up  for  my 
cows.  Would  you  advise  me  to  grind  it  i 
or  sell  it  and  buy  a  good  dairy  ration. 
1  have  been  told  that  it  is  not  good  teed 
for  milch  cows.  E*  G* 
New  York. 
Buckwheat  alone  does  not  make  a  good 
ration  for  milch  cows,  being  fattening  in 
its  nature  and  not  supplying  a  sufficient¬ 
ly  large  proportion  of  those  ingredients 
which  go  to  the  making  of  milk.  The 
middlings  from  buckwheat  are  one  of  the 
best  milk  producing  foods,  however,  and 
it  will  pay  well  to  exchange  the  whole 
buckwheat,  containing  much  that  you  do 
not  want,  for  the  middlings  which  are 
just  what  you  do  want.  _tn  this  ex¬ 
change.  you  get  more  feed,  in  the  shape 
of  middlings,  than  you  would  have  as 
ground  buckwheat  and  a  much  better 
feed  for  milk  production.  If  your  miller 
cannot  make  this  change  with  you,  or  it 
you  prefer  other  feeds,  you  will  also 
find  it  to  vour  advantage  to  sell  your 
high-priced  buckwheat  and  purchase  glu¬ 
ten  feed  or  similar  high  protein  concen¬ 
trates  with  the  proceeds.  M.  B.  D. 
milk  from  this  mixture.  2  parts  barley,  1

Ration  for  Family  Cow 
I  am  about  to  buy  a  “family  cow."  I 
have  no  silage  or  corn  of  any  kind  for 
feed.  Will  you  give  me  a  good  ration  for 
a  Jersey  cow  between  four  and  five  years 
Old?  ‘  «•  M’  «• 
Massachusetts. 
Give  your  Jersey  cow  Id  lbs.  of  mixed 
hav  daily  and  feed  her  a  pound  of  grain 
to  "three  to  3  Ms  lbs.  of  milk,  from  the  fol¬ 
lowing  Mixture :  2  parts  dried  distillers 
grains.  1  part  dried  beet  pulp,  1  part  cot¬

Horse  Chestnuts  for  Stock  Food 
Last  Winter  we  had  a  discussion  of 
the  value  of  horse  chestnuts  as  a  lood. 
We  found  that  in  Europe  and  also  in 
England  efforts  had  been  made  to  utilize 
these  horse  chestnuts.  They  have  a  good 
analysis  as  compared  with  other  feeds, 
but  the  bitter  taste  or  principle  made 
them  offensive  to  most  kinds  of  livestock. 
Hogs  and  sheep  seem  to  eat  them  better 
than  other  animals,  especially  when  they 
were  mixed  with  other  kinds  of  gram, 
but  they  were  useful  chiefly  as  a  starva¬ 
tion  ration.  It-  now  appears  that  the 
Germans  in  their  search  for  new  sources 
of  food  have  discovered  methods  for  tak¬ 
ing  much  of  this  bitter  principle  out  of 
the  horse  chestnut.  Nuts  so  treated  are 
called  “de-bittcrcd.”  and  are  eaten  with 
a  fair  relish  by  some  kinds  of  livestock. 
It  is  evon  hoped  that  they  nuiy  finally  be 
found  palatable  and  useful  for  human 
consumption.  The  chemist  found  and  sep¬ 
arated  the  principle  in  these  horse  chest¬ 
nuts  which  produced  the  bitter  or  dis¬ 
agreeable  taste,  and  then  studied  meth¬ 
ods  of  removing  it.  Briefly  stated  the 
nuts  are  shelled,  chopped  up.  and  boiled 
to  a  in  ash.  with  plenty  of  water.  W  hen 
thoroughly  boiled  the  mush  is  washed  out. 
It  is  then  spread  out  thiu  on  linen  doth 
and  dried  in  a  current  of  warm  air.  1« 
remove  the  bitter  taste  the  boiled  nuts 
were  treated  with  a  solution  ot  potash, 
•ind  finally  given  further  treatment  with 
ii  weak  alcohol.  This  removes  almost  en- 
t’-rdv  the  bitter  anil  unpleasant  prin¬ 
ciple  which  gives  the  horse  chestnut  its 
characteristic  taste,  and  the  flour  result- 
j.,,r  iiftcr  the  dried  mush  is  finally 
erd  s  not  only  eaten  by  livestock,  but 
1.  Would  you  give  me  a  balanced  ra¬ 
tion  for  cows?  1  am  feeding  for  butter 
and  want  a  Winter  feed :  can  get  all  mill 
foods.  I  do  not  have  any  grain  of  my 
own  for  cows.  I  have  only  four  cows.  I 
hiive  only  cornstalks  and  Timothy  hay 
for  roughage,  with  no  silage.  2.  I  would 
also  like  a  balanced  ration  for  brood 
sows  coming  in  in  January,  and  for  pigs 
from  eight  weeks  old  until  marketing; 
would  like  to  got  them  to  market  as  soon 
as  possible.  I  do  not  have  any  roughage 
for  them.  Must  depend  entirely  on 
grain.  L-  K’

t.  Feed  about.  8  Iba  cornstalks  and  8 
lbs.  of  Timothy  bay  daily  and  1  lb.  of 
grain  to  3 Mi  lbs.  of  milk  from  follow  mg 
grain  mixture:  2  parts  cottonseed  meal, 
4  parts  dried  distillers’  grains,  1  part 
gluten  feed,  1  part  dried  beet  pulp.  1% 
salt.  T  have  had  to  use  cottonseed  and 
distillers’  grains  in  large  amounts  to  sup¬ 
ply  the  protein  lacking  hi  the  roughage. 
Gluten  and  beet  pulp,  however,  add  va¬ 
riety  and  the  beet  pulp  is  very  valuable 
when  no  silage  or  Toots  are  available. 
2.  For  sows  carrying  pigs^  feed  30  to 
50  parts  corn  and  50  to  70  parts  of 
buttermilk  or  skim-milk.  I' or  suckling 
sows,  feed  corn  70  parts,  middlings  lo, 
and  skim-milk  or  buttermilk  15  parts. 
For  suckling  pigs  feed  corn  75  parts, 
middlings  10  parts,  and  tankage  or  skirn- 
milk  15  parts.  As  the  pigs  grow  older 
gradually  increase  the  amount  of  corn. 
Your  rule  of  feeding  what  they  will  clean 
up  within  a  reasonable  length  of  time  is 
the  best  rule  to  follow.  H.  F.  J.

Grain  with  Poor  Silage 
Please  advise  me  as  to  the  proper  feed 
for  my  cows  for  the  coming  Winter.  We 
have  silage  of  rather  poor  quality,  being 
immature  and  somewhat  frosted,  have 
mixed  hay  of  good  quality  and  ft  quan¬ 
tity  of  barley  that  we  intend  to  grind 
and  mix  with  other  tVods.  W  hat  would 
you  regard  as  the  best  feeds  to  mix  with 
the  barley  to  make  a  balanced  ration, 
and  in  wl’iat  proportion,  and  what  would 
you  recommend  after  the  barley  meal  is 
iiM’d  up?  Most  of  the  cows  will  be  £"-* 
jug  milk  through  the  Winter,  some  will 
be  fresh,  others  were  fresh  in  the  late 
Spring  and  Summer,  and  about  one- 
third  wi'l  be  dry.  P.  B. 
New  York. 
Your  roughage  and  your  barley  arc 
quite  low  in  protein  ;  therefore,  it  is  im¬ 
possible  to  balance  a  ration  using  these 
feeds  without  using  considerable  amount 
of  cottonseed  meal  and  distillers’  grams, 
two  of  our  protein  feeds.  Figuring  on 
the  basis  of  a  1000-lb.  cow,  producing  2o 
lbs.  of  4%  milk,  the  following  fills  the 
bill;  30  lbs.  silage  and  10  to  12  lbs.  hay 
daily,  and  a  lb.  of  gram  to  3Ms  lb*-
