ton capacity silo would give you more lee¬ 
way. 
You are correct in eliminating the 
ground oats from your mixture. Last 
year the oat crop was very poor, the oats 
very light and chaffy and. in many in¬ 
stances. it is the practice of the local 
dealer to distribute ground oats that have 
been mixed with oat hulls, and conse¬ 
quently are very low in feeding value. A 
mixture consisting of .100 lbs. of corn- 
meal. 200 lbs. of gluten feed, 200 lbs. of 
bran. 200 lbs. of distillers’ grains, 100 lbs. 
of oilmeal is suggested. The addition of 
1 per cent of salt is sufficient. You can 
simplify this ration when the pasture 
season opens by eliminating the beet pulp 
and confining your grain ration to a 
combination of rornmcal, gluten meal and 
bran. Perhaps the reason why your ra¬ 
tion has failed to give satisfactory results 
is because it is somewhat low in protein, 
aud mixed hay or cornstalks do not pro¬ 
vide a satisfactory roughage in the ab¬ 
sence of silage. I am sure that with 
silage available next year you will be 
able to produce milk at an increased 
Improving a Ration 
I have nine cows, all good milkers. 
Some give 15 lbs. and some 25 lbs. at each 
milking. I have been feeding them about 
100 lbs. of grain a day. a ready mixed 
feed, but I would like to mix my own. 
for what I buy is not now satisfactory. 
1 feed mixed bay and coru fodder; no 
silage and no beets, L. M. 
New Jersey. 
T suspect that you have been using one 
of the low grades of compounded feeds, 
not one carrying 24 per cent of protein 
and 10 per cent of fiber. With silage, 
mixed hay aud corn fodder, and with the 
pasture season, approaching, I should 
combine the ingredients in the following 
proportions; 400 lbs. of cornmeal, 300 
lbs. of bran, 300 lbs. of gluten feed, 200 
lbs. of brewers’ grains, 100 lbs. of buck¬ 
wheat middlings. 200 lbs. of linseed meal. 
Feed 1 lb. of this combination for each 
314 lbs. of milk produced. Allow the 
animals all of the silage and all of the 
roughage that they will consume.

Stale Bread for Cows 
Is stale bread a good feed for cows? I 
have a nice herd and sell Grade A milk 
and want t«» know whether feeding them 
bread will in any way hurt them or spoil 
the quality of (he milk. 1 have access to 
a great deal of dry bread, and would like 
to feed it to them, if harmless. e. a. 
Stale bread cannot be satisfactorily 
used in rations intended for dairy cows. 
Instances have been reported where this 
product has been successfully used in 
feeding pigs, but it is not suited for dairy 
cows. Actually stale bread has about half 
the feeding value of ordinary middlings. 
It is higher in moisture and not especial¬ 
ly palatable, aud it is usually an expen¬ 
sive source of digestible nutrients. If 
used at all in the proposed ration it 
should not constitute more than 10 per 
cent of the daily ration. 
No C.O.D.—no deposit—no obligation. You try 
it — and your won! goes! If not satisfactory,

Feeding Pigs for Gain; Ration for Family 
Cow 
I saw by some advertisement that T>crk- 
shiue pigs gained from 1.03 to 2.25 lbs. a 
day. Can you balance a ration that will 
make pigs grow like that? I want a bal¬ 
anced ration for pigs six weeks old. 1 
can get all kinds of feed except barley. 
2 Also give me a balanced ration for mv 
family cow, part Jersey and part llol

soon. I have plenty of third-cutting 
Alfalfa hay. , c - J - 
Ganastota. N. Y. 
Gains varying from 1.93 to 2.25 lbs. 
per day are not exceptional for pigs dur¬ 
ing their early growing or fattening 
period. It must be remembered that, 
feeding qualities are inherited! quite as 
distinctly as color, or size, or any other 
breed characteristic. It is impossible to 
take ordinary scrub or cross-bred pigs and 
obtain gains of this character; but it is 
a relatively simple procedure to select 
purebred animals ot selected breeding and 
known feeding qualities and obtain siidl 
gains. Much depends upon the way the 
brood sow Was fed during her gestation 
period, and it is necessary that the. pigs 
lie fed generously during their nursing 
and earlv growing period. Personally T 
like to feed brood sows nursing pigs all of 
the corn and skim-milk that, they will

Advantage of Silage 
I have a herd of grade rows averaging 
about 900 or 1000 lbs. Most of them 
that freshened last Fall are not keeping 
up with the milk flow the way they 
should. iWe have for roughage corn 
stover and mixed hay, and we feed, by 
weight, 1 to 3G>. a mixture consisting of 
500 lbs. cornmeal, 300 lbs. gluten, 200 
lbs. bran, 100 lbs. dry grains, 100 lbs. 
oilmeal, 100 lbs. cottonseed, 100 lbs. 
ground oats. I have plenty of corn and 
would like to use as much cobmenl or 
cornmeal as possible, leaving out the oats 
unless it would pay to buy them at $1.75 
or $1.00. 1 am ordering a silo for next 
Fall, as I have no desire to go through 
another Winter •without one. What 
would he (he better size for a 15-eow 
herd. 10x80 or 12x24 or 12x2G? 
Now Jersey. E. c. H. 
A herd of 15 cows will require between 
50 and 00 tons of silage to carry them 
through the Winter feeding period. A 
silo 10 ft. in diameter and 32 ft. high is 
rated to a capacity of 51 tons, while one 
12x30 ft. is rated to hold 07 tons. There 
is very little choice between these two 
capacities, much depending upon the type 
of construction selected. I am inclined 
to favor tin* 12-foot silo, for the chances 
are that when your dairy herd prospers 
you will increase it somewhat, aud a 05-
