Dairy  Ration  With  Coarse  Hay 
Will  ,vmi  balance  a  ration  for  me  for 
grade  Ilolsteins  averaging  .‘50  lbs.  of  milk 
per  day?  I  have  very  good  quality  of 
silage,  mangel  beets,  and  salt  meadow  bay 
for  roughage.  I  admit  my  hay  is  jot 
of  the  best  quality.  I  cau  buy  any  of  the 
concentrated  feeds  at  reasonable  prices 
near  here.  K.  o. 
Now  Jersey. 
A  ration  which  should  give  satisfactory 
results  with  roughage  you  have  on  hand 
follows:  12  lbs.  salt  hay,  30  lbs.  corn 
silage,  15  lbs.  mangels  daily  and  a  pound 
of  grain  to  .'514  to  4  lbs.  of  milk  from  the 
following  mixture:  2  parts  cottons*. ed,  2 
parts  dried  distillers’  grains,  1  part  gluten 
feed,  and  T  part  Ju'an ;  add  1  per  cent. 
Coarse  line  suit,  to  grain  when  mixing  it 
up.  Note  that  the  grains  are  of  high 
protein  nature.  This  is  necessary,  since 
your  roughage  is  low  in  protein.  It  is  a 
good  [dun  to  use  a  little  bran  when:  cot¬ 
tonseed  is  used,  since  it  supplies  mineral 
matter  lacking  itt  the  cottonseed  meal. 
ative  properties  which  would  be  more 
pronounced  when  the  silage  was  fed  iu 
too  large  amounts.  The  fact  that  you 
fed  the  silage  successfully  before  aud 
after  the  cows  .scoured  would  indicate 
that  it  was  the  extra  amount  of  silage 
that  caused  the  trouble. 
Iu  regard  to  the  silage  in  the  silo  when 
you  rented  the  farm  in  the  Spring  I  could 
not  say  without  knowing  more  of  the  con¬ 
ditions  whether  it  was  the  silage,  the 
amount  fed  or  the  manner  in  which  it 
was  fed  that  caused  the  trouble.  The 
weather  must  have  been  getting  warm 
when  the  trouble  occurred,  and  it  is  very 
probable  tbut  the  silage  was  not  fed  fast 
enough  to  keep  it  from  spoiling. 
If  as  you  say  the  silage  left  iu  your 
silo  is  in  a  sweet  condition  there  is  no 
reason  why  this  year’s  crop  should  not 
be  put  on  top  of  it.  If  there  is  a  spoiled 
layer  two  or  three  inches  thick  on  top  it 
would  he  reel!  to  pitch  this  out  before 
putting  in  (he  new  crop.  It  is  common 
to  put  new  silage  on  top  of  old  silage 
when  there  is  some  left  over.  On  many 
farms  silage  will  he  rather  poor  tLis  year, 
i.  e.  very  little  corn  on  it.  This  silage 
should  settle  and  keep  all  right,  in  silo 
you  mention. 
Matured  corn  silage  lias  about  one- 
third  the  digestible  nutrients  in  it  that 
Timothy  hay  possesses.  Siuee  this  is  true 
if  ought  to  he  worth  $6  to  $8  per  ton  iu 
the  s' lo.  According  to  Henry’s  “Feeds 
and  Feeding”  silage  from  mature  corn 
has  17.7  lbs.  per  100  lbs.,  while  that  from 
immature  c-orn  has  1225  lbs.  If  the  value 
on  the  mature  silage  is  placed  at  $7  per 
ton  the  value  of  tie-  immature  would 
figure  as  follows : 
17.7x20=351  lbs.  digestible  nutrients 
in  niie  ton  mature  silage. 
13.3  X 20=20(5  lbs.  digestible  nutrients 
iu  one  ton  mature  silage.

It  is  natural  for  a  bog  to  wallow.  Provide 
a  wallow  close  to  the  feeding  grounds,  to 
which  add  Dr.  Hess  Dip  and  Disinfectant 
occasionally.  The  bogs  will  constantly 
pass  back  and  forth  from  the  wallow  to 
the  feed  trough?  while  the  DIP  will  kill 
the  lice  and  cleanse  the  skin,  the  DRIP

worms  that  pollute  the  ground.

four  or  five  weeks,  had  good  results,  till 
one  day  they  told  me  the  cows  would  not
