FEEDING FOR “ QUALITY " IN M LK. 
1. I have available for feeds pumpkin, 
beets, carrots, turnips, corn fodder and 
meadow hay, bran, gluten, cotton-seed and 
cornmeal. I would like a balanced ration 
of above to produce milk for quality rather 
than quantity. Is ia necessary to remove 
seed from pumpkin and squash for feeding? 
2. I have a cow 12 years old, seven-eighths 
Jersey, weighing about !)00 pounds. She 
had twin calves July 12, was very much 
emaciated when I bought her. I had her 
examined by a veterinary and he pronounced 
her sound, but she wheezes like a wind- 
broken horse. She only gives 11 % quarts 
of milk, but is gaining in flesh and general 
appearance. She also sucks her tongue. 
Can you tell what ails her, and if I should 
have her dry for four months would she 
improve and come up to her normal milk 
(20 quarts after calving again) ? 3. Will 
a young cow that has been dry in two teats, 
the result of milking close to calving, and 
a heavy grain ration, which caused “caking” 
of udder on one side, likely to milk in all 
four teats after calving again? 
No. Tarrytown, N. V. w. b. k. 
1. You have a good list of feeds from 
which to make a selection. We assume 
that by quality rather than quantity you 
mean flavor. There is a wide difference 
between quality and flavor. Quality in 
milk should refer to the amount of fat in 
turnips daily, although some feed more. 
For your ration I would suggest:

This is a well-balanced ration and the 
middlings will help somewhat to cover up 
the sprouts. You could substitute two 
pounds of gluten feed for the middlings 
but would not advise your doing so.

CURE FOR BOWEL TROUBLE IN 
POULTRY. 
I have raised chickens on a small scale for 
25 years. I have had a great deal of trouble 
among them with bowel trouble. Whether it 
was cholera or not I do not know, but my 
fowls would die in spite of everything I could 
do. My husband went to Dakota, and while 
there drank alkali water, which came near 
killing him. lie could find nothing to stop 
the dysentery until he went to his cousin's 
home. She gave him cinnamon tea, which 
helped him at once. When he came home and 
told me about it I said : “Why will it not be 
\V hen you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8.

You can mix up 200 pounds each of 
coarse bran, cornmeal, 100 pounds cotton¬ 
seed meal and 300 pounds gluten feed, and 
feed an average of eight pounds per cow. 
Some you will find can use more profit¬ 
ably, but more will require eight or less 
per day. Some men feeding several kinds 
of grain feed each kind separate, but that 
means extra work and I like a good mix¬ 
ture better. You can replace the beets j 
with carrots, turnips and pumpkins. It 
is not necessary to take out the seeds of 
the latter. They have more nutriment 
than the pulp. We have fed lots of them 
and no harm from the seed in the quantity 
one would ordinarily feed. 
2. As to the cow, do not feel compe- 
tent to prescribe. Her trouble may be 
due to bronchitis and good care is the i 
best you can do for the cow. Sucking 
the tongue in a young cow might be signs , 
of stomach trouble, but hardly in one of j 
her age. Sometimes cows’ teeth bother 
them, and a rolling and twisting of the 
tongue may be due to this. I should 
hardly like to keep a cow in her condition, ! 
especially of her age. in the herd, as there 1 
are some risks, and 1 hardly think we 
could afford to run then:. 1 should get 
rid of her even if she gave considerable 
milk. 
3. I have seen cows come out all right | 
in all teats after calving. It depends on 
present condition of udder; whether hard 
•or whether it has withered in these 
quarters. If it feels nearly normal they 
are quite likely to come in milk all right. 
We bought a cow not long since said to 
he three-teated. We thought she was all 
right, and so proved to he. 
Malt Sprouts foJ Cows. 
I wish to feed my cows on sprouts, with 
a mixture of clover and Timothy hay, good 
cornstalks and turnips. What should I add 
to the sprouts to make a properly balanced 
ration for milch cows. F. N. c. I 
Walden, N. Y. 
We feel like asking why you want to 
feed malt sprouts. They have a pretty 
good analysis, having 18 per cent, di- 
gestable protein, but they are not palatble, 
and we have found that what is not palat¬ 
able unless disguised with something else 
does not pay. Cows will not eat them well 
unless soaked either with silage, cut fod¬ 
der or alone. Neither do I like turnips, 
although they have quite a little food 
value. They should be fed with care after 
milking, and the turnip smell should be 
kept away from milk. Sometimes the 
milk is turnip tainted as It is with other 
things by leaving it in the barn long 
enough after being milked where the 
barn is full of the strong odor of turnips. 
Unless I could get the sprouts at a low 
price T should feed something else. I ! 
should not want to feed over 20 pounds I 
good for the liens?” 1 have used nothing 
else for that trouble since. I lake a tea¬ 
spoonful of ground cinnamon and pour a pint 
of boiling water on it in a vessel, and let 
stand until almost cold, then add three quarts 
of cold water and put where the fowls can 
get it to drink, and give them no other thing 
to drink. If they are had give it fresh every 
day till they are better, then two or three 
times a week, and I have found it a success 
in every case. One Winter I was letting the 
men folks take care of the hens, and they 
commenced dying. I paid very little atten¬ 
tion until one day there were 13 dead. Then 
I awoke and said it was time for me to do 
something. I prepared some cinnamon as de¬ 
scribed and in less than a week there was not 
a hen that was droopy, and no more died.
