Feeding Cows on Test 
What do you consider the best short- 
time test ration for llnlsloins? Three arc 
junior two-year-old heifers; other aged 
cows. All have had what they would eat 
of 200 lbs. oorumeal. 100 ibs, bran, 100 
lbs. ground oats. 100 lbs. oilmeal, and 
they are in good condition. I can get 
oats. bran. meal, gluten, oilmeal, cotton¬ 
seed meal, molasses, beet pulp, but no 
brewers' grains, and have very good 
clover hay. o. H. P. 
(Ireenbusb, Mass. 
Test rows are peculiar individuals. It 
is well to feed generously from the prod¬ 
ucts they relish, yet it is always well to 
guide them in their selection of concen¬ 
trates. Assuming that your junior two- 
year-olds, as well as the aged cows, are 
in good flesh, and that yon have available 
choice clover nr Alfalfa hay with silage. 
I would suggest the following combina¬ 
tion of grains: 101) lbs. ground oats. 200 
lbs. bran. 250 lbs. hominy or corn meal. 
200 Ihs. linseed meal. 150 lbs. gluten. 100 
lbs. cottonseed meal. After the cows are 
on full feed 1 should allow them gener¬ 
ous amounts of this ration and. in addi¬ 
tion. would feed them beet pulp that had 
been moistened with molasses water. I 
have had very good results from soaking 
bran with water and using the drainage 
drippings for moistening the heel pulp. 
Considerable of the digestible nutrients 
in bran are soluble in water, and the 
bran flavor seems to increase the pala- 
tability of the beet pulp. If possible, 
some mangel beets should lie fed in con¬ 
junction with the beet pulp and the grain 
combination suggested above. Succulence 
of this character seems to stimulate the 
cow's appetite, and likewise serves as a 
safety valve where animals are forced 
fed in this manner. Three or four milk¬ 
ings a day will give the best results, and 
of course the cow should be fed her grain 
allowance after each milking. The addi¬ 
tion of 100 lbs. of corn germ meal would 
increase the usefulness of this ration, if 
it were possible to obtain this product. 
Canada is the world’s greatesT^^ 
producer of wheat—second only to 
the United States—yet only about 12% of 
liie tillable area has been worked. Yields of 40 bushels of wheat 
per acre are not uncommon. Oats have given as high as 100 
bushels per acre, while 40 to 50 bushels per acre are ordinary 
yields: barley and rye in like proportion. Cattle and horses 
thrive on the native grasses which grow abundantly and corn 
and sunflower culture are highly successful.

secure for the industrious settler ample returns for his energy. 
Clearing the cost of one’s farm with a single year’s crop has an 
appeal, and has been done by hundreds of Western Canada 
farmers. Taxes only upon landfnot on improvements). Perfect 
climate, attractive social conditions, good neighbors, churches, 
schools, telephones, excellent markets and shipping facilities 
make life happy as well as prosperous.

If you are using a worn- 
out, inferior cream separa¬ 
tor, or skimming cream by 
hand, you are surely wast¬ 
ing enough cream to pay for 
a De Laval in a short time. 
The selection of a cream 
separator is more important 
than that of any other 
machine on the farm, for 
none other can either save 
or waste so much, twice a 
day, 365 days a year. 
A De Laval Separator will: 
—Skim cleaner for many 
more years than any other; 
—Skim milk clean at lower 
temperature than any other 
separator; 
—Deliver a higher testing 
cream, which is more acceptable 
to the creamery, and easier and 
less costly to ship, 
—And deliver a cream which 
will make better butter. 
Mechanically a De Laval Sep¬ 
arator is the best that fine 
materials and skilled workman¬ 
ship can make. 
—It lasts longer than any 
other separator, many giving 
good service for IS to 20 years. 
—It is easier to turn. 
—It is easier to clean. 
—It is so simple that one tool 
will set it up or take it down. 
—It has the most perfect 
lubricating system. 
Do not be deceived by sepa¬ 
rators which are claimed to be 
“just as good and cost less.” 
When you consider its greater 
savings, greater reliability, 
longer life, the extra time it 
saves, and the greater satisfac¬ 
tion it gives, the De Laval is, in 
the end, by far the most eco¬ 
nomical cream separator made. 
Even if you have only two 
cows it will pay you to have a 
De Laval. One can be bought 
on such easy terms that it will 
pay for itself in less than a 
year. Why not sec your De 
Laval agent at once or write us

Feeding a Family Cow 
I am told that a Jersey cow should be 
fed differently from a Holstein cow. i 
feed 100 lbs. bran. 12K lbs. ground oats. 
100 lbs. gluten. 100 lbs. linseed. 50 lbs. 
41 per cent cottonseed, with some Al¬ 
falfa. Timothy and oat straw. I feed 
about 1 lb. grain to 3*4 to 4 lbs. of milk. 
With grain 1 add one or \y* quarts of 
meal, according to condition of cow. Why 
is this ration too rich or not rich enough 
for a Jersey that has calved a week ago, 
by starting to feed gradually. W. IT. R. 
Attleboro, Mass. 
Usually it is necessary to feed Jersey 
or Guernsey cows proportionately more 
grain per unit of milk produced than 
prevails with Flolsteins or Avrsliires. 
This is due no doubt to the variation in 
the butterfat test, but it does not follow 
that the nutritive ratio of the ration 
itself must, necessarily be modified for 
the different breeds. Perhaps the most 
accurate determination of the amount of 
grain to feed a dairy cow is calculated 
by submitting the milk to the Babcock 
test, and feeding as many pounds of 
grain per day as the cow yields in pounds 
of butterfat per week. This rule would 
apply equally as well to the Jersey ns to 
the Holstein. In other words, the qual¬ 
ity of the milk cannot he modified by 
changing the nutritive ratio of the daily 
grain allowance. It is necessary to mod 
ify the amount of grain in proportion to 
the daily production and physical energy 
of the row. 
The combination that vou propose is 
faulty, inasmuch as all of flu* produets 
mentioned are concentrated protein eon 
tributora and the ration is correspond¬ 
ingly low in* carbohydrates and energy. 
The addition of 200 lbs. of corn or hom¬ 
iny meal and double the amount of bran 
is reeoinmended. 1 would not feed Tim¬ 
othy hay and straw to this Jersey cow. 
for such products, when fed in conjunc¬ 
tion with clover hay, actually depress 
digestion and utilize the energy that 
might be devoted to tlie production of 
milk. WJbile your Jersey cow is on pasture 
a ration consisting <»f four parts of corn 
or hominy meal, four parts of gluten 
feed, two parts o’* bran and one part of 
cottonseed meal is suggested. If you 
feed some Alfalfa hay in addition to the. 
grass, then the cottonseed meal could he 
eliminated. This combination ought to 
enable you to get the maximum produc¬ 
tion from the family cow.

Green Mold in Silage 
I have been having lots of trouble with 
green mold in my silage. T lost four 
00ws before I discovered it. Tt is in the 
middle of a chunk of while mold, scat¬ 
tered through the middle of silo, a small 
chunk as large as a man’s hand and 
larger, whieli looks harmless, but in the 
center of the chunk is a pocket of green 
mold. x'. v. 
It is very probable that the silage in 
question was put into the silo too dry. 
Usually this condition results in the ap¬ 
pearance of a mold such as you have in¬ 
dicated. If the corn at silo filling time 
has been cured considerably before it is 
brought to the silo, a sufficient amount 
of water should be added to bring about 
fermentatiou enough to destroy fungus 
growth that is responsible for the trouble.
