Live Stock Matters 
By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Feeding Holstein Herd 
I have 21 Holstein* ami feed 600 lbs. 
gluten, 200 lbs. bran, 100 lbs, cormneal, 
100 lbs ground oats. 100 lbs. cottonseed 
meal (MO per cent). 100 lbs. clinical. I 
am feeding plenty of mixed bay. but no 
silage or cornstalks. F. L. (;. 
The ration that you have submitted 
would yield about 2M per cent of protein, 
which is satisfactory for cows of high 
production. In case your bay contains 
cons'derftble clover and would serve as a 
satisfactory supplement to your grain ra¬ 
tion. it would be more economical for you 
to use only 100 lbs. of gluten feed and to 
increase the amount of cormneal to MOO 
lbs. This combination would provide a 
20 per cent crude protein ration, which 
would he highly desirable for cons of 
average production. No doubt you will 
be able to get the cows out Oil grass very 
shortly; otherwise it would be well to 
secure some moistened beet pulp to pro¬ 
vide succulence. At present values, corn- 
meal is perhaps the most economical 
source of energy, and it could be used as 
liberally as is consistent in providing a 
complete ration.

a De Laval 
A truer statement was never 
jnade. Ask any one of the 
millions of De Laval users and 
they will invariably reply, “My 
De Laval doesn’t owe me a 
cent. It paid for itself in less 
than a year, and ever since has 
been making me money.” 
Why? Because the minute 
you start using a De Laval you 
get something to sell for cash— 
cream; and in addition you get 
skim-milk to grow into another 
crop of calves, pigsand chickens. 
Two sources of profit, and a 
steady cash income every day.

Sooner or later you will use a 
ILven it you don t own a 
De Laval you are probably pay¬ 
ing for one anyway—especially 
if you are using a cheap, inferior 
or badly worn separator, or are 
skimming by hand—in the cream 
that is being lost. No other 
method of separating cream 
from milk is so efficient, easy 
and economical in the long run 
as the De Laval. 
Cocoanut Meal for Cows 
I am feeding for roughage orchard 
grass. Grain feed is 100 lbs. bran. 100 
lbs. brewer's grain. 100 lb*, cormneal. 100 
lbs. cocoanut meal, and Mo lbs. oilineal. 
My cows arc not milking satisfactorily. 
Have been milked since March and April, 
and the first one freshens May 20. The 
others from that to duly 15. They arc all 
four years old this Spring. A. F. 
Copra meal cannot be rated as a desir¬ 
able constituent for a dairy ration. Ow¬ 
ing to its relatively high oil content, it 
becomes rancid, and* since it is relatively 
cheap in price, the user is likely to find 
mixtures containing it fairly loaded with 
this substance. The feed manufacturers 
are using cocoa mi t meal extensively, and 
I predict that trouble will result from the 
use of rations that carry substantial 
oiiantities of this ingredient. The ad¬ 
dition of more bran and more cornmeal 
would greatly improve your ration. The 
chances are that the brewer’s g-ains you 
mention are yeast or vinegar grains, and 
you do not. have a sufficient amount of 
protein. Since you have cormneal. T 
would suggest that you combine M0 or 40 
per cent of cornmeal with si good feed 
carrying 24 per cent of protein, and not 
more than 10 per cent of liber. 
One other reason why your cows are 
not doing well is because you are supply¬ 
ing them with a very interim’ rougimge. 
Orchard grass is not. a legume, and does 
not contribute much energy to a ration. 
Unfortunately, the low price now prevail¬ 
ing for market milk prompted many 
dairymen to food extensively of corn and 
oats and to buy extravagantly of low- 
grade feeds, If a cow is worth anything 
at all, she is worth feeding well, and i F 
one wishes to limit her daily production 
;,f milk, he should do so bv limiting the 
amount of complete feeds that she is fed. 
rather than give her the impossible job 
of producing some milk from a lot of 
junk, which does not have the energy 
necessary for milk production. Conse¬ 
quently a cow contents liers-df with 
merely maintaining her bodily functions.

Satisfactory Ration 
I have been feeding ns follows: 150 lbs. 
ouls, 200 lbs. corn (both ground). 250 
lbs. cottonseed meal, 150 lbs. oilineal. 
250 lbs. wheat bran. Alfalfa hay one feed 
a day, mixed clover once a day, and silage 
twice a day. The silage has now given 
out, and T have substituted 5 Tbs. of beet 
pulp soaked in water for it. Ought T to 
change this ration, and if so. how? I 
have a contract fop milk, with only 10 
quarts allowed up or down, and I cannot 
afford to “ask the cows.” H. E.ll. 
The ration that yon are feeding carries 
22 Yj per cent of protein, and is very well 
suited for milk vows. If the cows have 
Alfufa hay, it might be possible for you 
to increase the amount of cornmeal, and 
thus reduce the cost of the mixture. If 
your silage is all gone. I should surely 
feed some moistened beet pulp to provide 
succulence. One pound of beet plilp will 
absorb about 5 lbs. of water, and on this 
basis it is estimated that I lb. of beet 
pulp will replace approximately ‘5 lbs. of 
silage. Hence, if your cows were con¬ 
suming M0 llis, of silage, it would he wise 
to provide them with 5 or U lbs. of dry 
beet pulp per day. The best results will 
follow where the beet pulp is moistened 
12 hours hefone being fed. 
As we have said many times, the use 
of a legume roughage in feeding dairy 
cattle is actually Ithe limiting factor jn 
successful dairying. This product con¬ 
tributes mineral matter in the most eco¬ 
nomical form, aud cows which have ac¬ 
cess to Alfalfa during the Winter and 
pasture grass during the Summer cannot 
under any circumstances fail to he pro¬ 
vided with a sufficient amount of essen¬ 
tial minerals and vitn mines. 
I should not modify the ration in any 
way. Make sure that the cottonseed meal 
carries 4M to 44 per cent of protein, and 
that the oats are real oats, and not re- 
grotvnd out hulls. It is a safe ration to 
food, and one that ought to give you very 
satisfactory results.
