Feeding Twenty-five Holsteins 
Will you give me n ration for Winter 
feeding of 23 Holstein cows? I have 
plenty of good cornstalks with corn on 
and poor hay. <'nu 1 balance a ration 
with brewery grains, beet pulp and liorn- 
iuy mh'ii I '! Food prices, delievered. are: 
Brewery grnins, ; beet pulp. $33; 
bouiiny meal, SI'S; uilmenl, $46; cotton¬ 
seed, $46; gluten, $37; ground oats, $30; 
bran, $20. Will there be any advantage 
in moistening the brewery grains, as some 
farmers pin ini? llow much shall I feed 
to cows producing IS to 20 quarts per 
day? The cows are in poor flesh. I 
would like to force them, as feed is cheap 
and l get $3.60 per 40-quart cam. 
New York. R. T. 
There would he no advantage in moist¬ 
ening brewers’ grains. While it is true 
that the wet grains, when obtained direct 
from the brewery, contain moisture im¬ 
pregnated with palatable nutrients, this 
same condition is not duplicated by 
merely moistening tlm wet grains. The 
only concentrated product that is im¬ 
proved by moistening is beet pulp, and 
it would be well for you to allow your 
cows that are producing as much as 20 
quarts per day 20 lbs. of the beet pulp 
after it has been saturated for 12 hours. 
Under the prices and conditions that you 
have mentioned I should recommend a 
mixture consisting of 300 lbs. of brewers’ 
grains. 300 lbs. of hominy. 130 lbs. of 
bran. 130 lbs. of cottonseed meal. 100 lbs. 
of gluten feed. 
The addition of 150 lbs. of oats would 
lighten this mixture and make it more 
desirable for your cows if they are thin 
in flesh, as you have suggested. A cow 
producing 2 D quails of milk per day 
should he fed 12 lbs. of this feed and 
allowed all of the leafy roughage that 
she will clean up with relish. The addi¬ 
tion of more cornmeal, if it does not re¬ 
duce the production, would have a ten¬ 
dency to put more flesh on your cows. 
Feed for Cows and Horses 
1 . I have eight Holstein cows. Will 
yon give me a balanced grain ration for 
Winter feeding? I have no silo, and a 
good mixture of hay. 2 . I have a large 
team of six-year-old draft horses, looking 
very poor, t would like to know what to 
feed them to fatten' them up. It. u. 
1. Since you have no silage, it would 
he wisdom for you to get some beet pulp, 
which should be soaked for 12 hours pre¬ 
vious to being fed. It will provide suc¬ 
culence and increase the paint ability and 
digestibility of its companion feeds, which 
might he compounded iu the following 
proportion: 300 lbs. corn or hominy 
meal. 230 Its. oats or barley, 230 lbs. 
gluten feed. 150 lbs. oilmen!, 50 lbs. bran. 
Feed 1 lb. of this mixture for each 3 or 4 
lbs. of milk produced per cow per day, 
ami allow them all of the choice bay that 
they will clean tip twice daily. If you 
have cornstalks or oat straw, let them 
have access to this roughage during the 
middle of the day. 
2 . It ought to he relatively an easy 
matter to put flesh on work horses on 
corn, oats and barley, as cheap as they 
are at the present time. If you will make 
a mixture consisting of five parts of corn, 
three parts of oats, two parts of bran and 
one part of oilmeal, and feed the horses 
approximately 114 lbs. of this grain daily 
Cor each 100 lbs. of live weight, they 
ought to flesh up rapidly and promptly. 
In addition you should feed them about 1 
lb. of roughage, preferably Timothy hay, 
for each 100 lbs. of live weight. In 
other words, a horse weighing 1.000 lbs. 
would be fed 10 lbs. of Timothy hay and 
15 lbs. of grain per day. This is assum¬ 
ing that they are doing light work. Ii 
they are doing heavy work, and this is 
irregular during the Winter, then the 
grain should be correspondingly i educed 
as the work isises up. It is possible that 
their teeth need floating, or they may be 
infested with internal parasites. It might 
be well to have a veterinarian give their 
teeth attention, while the latter condition 
may be corrected by feeding tlieiu a table¬ 
spoonful twice daily for five days of a 
mixture provided by combining equal 
parts of powdered gentian and ferrous 
sulphate. This vermifuge will eliminate 
the parasites and the grain ration sug¬ 
gested will be palatable euougli to invite 
hearty appetite.

Who Would Buy Milk 
From Cows With Lice? 
Who would, indeed? If consumers of 
the products of your dairy knew there 
was a single cow in your herd in¬ 
fested with lice, their table would bo 
supplied from another dairy. 
And rightly so. Lice have no place 
in the dairy—neither from the stand¬ 
point of sanitation or profit. Few cow 
ailments 60 surely sap the vitality and 
reduce the milk yield as lice. And 
yet thousands of cows—in good dairies 
—are louse-infested without the knowl¬ 
edge of their owners. 
Examine every cow regularly— 
around the horns and back, and about 
the udder. If you And lice, you can 
kill them Quickly, surely and easily 
with Graylawn Farm Louse-Chase, the 
louse-killer recommended by scores of 
prominent institutions, Agricultural 
Colleges and big breeders.
