Feeds for an Intensive Dairy 
Is this a good ration for grade Guern¬ 
sey cows? T have no silo; expect to keep 
five cows; I have 14 acres and am going 
to feed them in the barn all the year 
round, but let them out every day for ex¬ 
ercise in the morning. I am going to 
raise green stuff in the Summer. What 
would you raise? It is light land, and 
early. I am going to feed clover and Ited- 
lop hay with corn fodder. Do you think 
I can keep five cows on (his and on 14 
acres? I am going to have a milk route. 
It is three-quarters of a mile from my 
place. Can one man handle this alone? 
The milk route is about SO quarts, and 1 
expect to make all the milk. The grain 
ration is: 100 lbs. middlings, 200 lbs. 
gluten. 100 lbs. beet pulp, 10 lbs. char¬ 
coal, S lbs. salt, 100 lbs. ground oats, 100 
lbs. linseed meal, 100 lbs. cottonseed meal, 
50 lbs. bran ; 1 lb. to every 3 y 2 lbs. of 
milk. w. H. n. 
Massachusetts. 
The ration suggested is not suitable for 
feeding dairy cows. It is relatively too 
concentrated, and you -have not utilized 
the materials that will yield for you en¬ 
ergy or protein at the least possible cos;. 
For rows of average production there is 
no use in including charcoal. The beet 
pulp should be fed moistened rather than 
included in the straight dry mixture. You 
could simplify your ration by limiting if 
to a combination consisting of 300 lbs. 
cornmeal. 200 lbs. ground oats. 200 lbs. 
bran, 150 lbs. oilmeal. 150 lbs. cottonseed 
meal. Going back to your problem of 
soiling crops, it might be well to rely 
chiefly upon oats and Canada field peas 
and Alfalfa for such use. Of course green 
corn must be included in this combina¬ 
tion. If it would be possible to have a 
silo and dire corn enough to provide 
silage sufficient to feed your cows dur¬ 
ing both the Summer and Winter seasons 
much would be gained, for an acre of 
corn will yield more digestible dry matter 
during a season than any other crop that 
can be produced on the farm. More 
labor is involved in growing and harvest¬ 
ing soiling crops; but of Course the prac¬ 
tice is commonly resorted to where areas 
are limited and intensive farming de¬ 
sired. 
For average cows a ration yielding 
about 20 per cent of protein is desired. 
The mixture that I have submitted does 
not yield quite as much protein as this, 
and. for variety’s sake, you could well 
add 150 lbs. of gluten. This would de¬ 
pend of course upon the condition of the 
cows. As to whether one man could care 
for these cows, deliver the milk and grow 
the crops desired, much would depend 
upon the industry and hustling qualities 
of the man himself. Y'ou are laying out 
a man’s job. and during certain seasons 
of the year you would have to burn the 
candle at both ends. If you will give us 
further information as to the character of 
the soil and the ability of this land to 
produce soiling crops, we should be very 
glad to suggest a crop rotation. 
Undesirable Dairy Ration 
Would you give mo a balanced ration 
for milking cows? We are feeding corn 
silage, three quarts of ground oats at a 
milking, aud a good portion of mixed hay 
twice a day. Wliat do you think of the 
wav we are feeding? il. V. D. 
New York. 
While it is possible to maintain horses 
on a ration of bay and oats alone, it is 
absolutely impossible to produce milk eco¬ 
nomically where the grain ration for cows 
is limited to corn and oats alone. Dry 
cows and bulls might survive this method 
of feeding, but move variety and more 
protein is essential for cows in milk. A 
mixture consisting of 200 lbs. bran. 300 
lbs. cornmeal, 250 lbs. ground oats, 250 
lbs. of 43 per cent cottonseed meal, would 
give you much better results. The addi¬ 
tion of 100 lbs. of oilmeal would improve 
the combination in case the hay fed is 
largely Timothy. If the mixed hay con¬ 
tains considerable clover or Alfalfa, then 
it is not. as necessary to include this large 
amount of oilmeal. For the dry cows a 
mixture consisting of equal parts of corn, 
oats, brau and oilmeal should be supplied. 
By doubling the oats the amount of corn 
should be diminished, yet at the prevail¬ 
ing prices corn is perhaps the most eco¬ 
nomical source of energy available. Oats, 
if relied upon exclusively to provide all <>f 
the concentrate, would be an expensive 
source of feed. 
Throw Away The 
Wheelbarrow! 
The wheelbarrow is out of date 
for barn cleaning. It’s a sloppy, 
back-breaking, leg-tiring, temper 
trying way. It’s hard work, the 
old way, and takes twice as long 
to clean the barn as with the
