Various Feeding Questions 
I own a farm in Lapeer County, Michi¬ 
gan. On October 1 I estimate that I 
will have 3o tons of good hay, throe- 
fourths; clover and one-fourth mixture of 
Blue grass, Red top and Timothy; five 
tons of Timothy hay; a I2x40-ft. silo 
filh-d with silage; 100 bushels of corn, 
!<•> bushels of barley. 1,200 bushels of 
oats. 350 bushels of rye. three acres of 
corn fodder after husking, and large 
quantities of straw. I think the above 
quantities are low rather than high, I 
shall have four horses, 11 Holstein cows, 
30 hogs and 1- sheep. Wliat feed should 
I purchase, how many steers for feeders 
should 1 buy this Fall, and whnt ration 
should I feed to horses, cows, bogs, sheep 
and steers? In purchasing feed J want, 
to take into consideration its fertilizing 
va bje. . g. H. F. 
Michigan. 
It occurs to me that it would not be 
wise for you to feed beef steers under 
the .conditions you have described. The 
barley and corn and the bulk of the oa^s 
that you have available can be advan¬ 
tageously fed to the dairy cattle, and the 
bulk of 'the rye must be used for hogs, as 
it is ill-suited for dairy cows. While it 
is true that you will have an excess of 
roughage consisting largely of Timothy 
hay. even this does not suggesi the ad¬ 
visability of utilizing this for feeding 
Steers. Under ordinary conditions it is 
generally figured that a dairy cow will 
consume a ton of feed per year, and that 
she will require an average of 10 to 15 
lbs. of roughage per day, this amount 
depending upon her size and ability to 
consume rough feed. This calculation 
provides for feeding a grain ration 
throughout the entire year and assumes 
that the cow will be on pasture during 
the Summer months. 
As to the hogs, you can figure that it 
will require approximately 400 lbs. of 
grain for each 100 lbs. of live weight: but 
not knowing the ago or the weight of the 
hogs it is only guesswork to suggest the 
amount required for their daily ration. 
The sheep will require considerably less 
feed per head, as (heir gains are less, but 
they are capable of utilizing a larger 
proportion of roughage. With oats, bar¬ 
ley and corn in the amounts mentioned I 
would suggest the following ration for 
dairy cows in milk: 300 lbs. oats, 150 
lbs. corn, 150 lbs. barley, 100 lbs. oilmeal, 
150 lbs. cottonseed meal. 150 lbs. gluten 
meal. 
It might be well to utilize more oats 
during the warmer weather and hold 
some of the corn and barley in reserve 
until the Winter weather is encountered. 
All of the clover hay should be fed to the 
dairy cattle. As I figure it, you will have 
just about enough silage to carry the 
Holstein cows through the Winter.. The 
corn fodder can be used to supplement 
the roughage and it will make excellent 
feed for the sheep. 
As a ration for hogs, I should use a 
mixture consisting of three parts rye, 
four parts oats, one part corn, one part 
barley and one part digester tankage. 
This ration will best serve for shouts and 
fattening hogs, but it would not do for 
brood sows. Rye is a relatively unsafe 
feed for brood sows. 
The horses should be maintained 
largely on a ration of oats and Timothy 
bay. Three parts oats, one part corn and 
one part bran should be fed to the ewes. 
This, together with the corn fodder, will 
bring them through the Winter in excel¬ 
lent condition. 
I have omitted bran in the ration for 
dairy cows. With the surplus of oats 
available and the hay consisting partly 
of clover it will be possible to get along 
without bran in this ration. 
Dry Corn for Silage 
It is claimed that corn, after standing 
in the shock for several weeks, should 
have water poured on it us blown into 
the silo. Another claims that there will 
be enough juice in the corn to make good 
silage. Having shocked my corn, and 
now wishing to put it in the silo. I 
thought it wise to ask your opinion. 
New York. n. c. 
Green corn, just before ripening, usu¬ 
ally has about enough water in it to 
make good silage. This water is neces¬ 
sary in order to help keep out the air 
and make the silage pack closely, and 
bring about just the right ferments.. When
