Rearranging Barn. 
I have an old barn, 28 by 35 feet, which 
I should like to build over so I can keep 
three horses, six cows and feed for same. 
I do not know which to do, build cow 
stables on end or keep them in barn. The 
barn has no floor; I do not want any ; 
think I shall use concrete. Would you tell 
me how you would arrange it? This barn 
has 11-foot driveway across it. I would 
like to have the horses, cows and grain 
feed in west end, cellar in other end up 
to driveway. s. c. s. 
New York. 
You would not have room in one end of 
your barn for all of your stock, so you 
could either build on enough for your three 
horses or for your six cows. I would pre¬ 
fer to build for the cows, as you could 
then make it just to suit you and up to 
date in every way. The object should be 
to arrange it so the labor of caring for 
the stock could be performed in the short¬ 
est time possible and with the least labor. 
Unless local conditions prevent, the cows’ 
heads should face the barn, or the end of 
the manger should join the barn, so the 
feeding can be done without carrying the 
feed too far._ c. s. G. 
Exact Ration for Cow. 
Would you give me feed ration for a 
Jersey cow who lost her calf about three 
months ago? She always gave eight quarts 
of very rich milk. I feed her at present, 
per day: Eight pounds of clover hay, eight 
quarts of brewery grains (morning and 
night, four quarts at each feed), mixed 
with two quarts of cow feed and one quart 
of bran to the meal, filling up a butter 
tub with two pails of water/ While she is 
milked she gets three to four quarts of 
sugar beets, twice a day. Salt (a handful) 
is given in each feed. At noon she has 
two quarts of beets and hay. What is the 
exact ration for her? b. k. 
Long Island. 
You are asking a question which it is 
impossible to answer, as there is no such 
thing as an “exact ration" for a cow un¬ 
less a person can be right with the cow 
which is to receive the ration and study 
her individual requirements and prefer¬ 
ences. From your description, however, of 
your method of feeding, I would say that 
you are trying, to compel your cow to eat 
too much salt, and you mix too much water 
with her feed. If you want to feed slop 
three-fourths to one pailful of water is a 
groat plenty to mix with the grain ration 
twice a day, but it is better to allow your 
cow to drink plenty of fresh water twice a 
day, and not more than half as "much salt 
as you use in the feed, allowing the cow 
to cat more if she wants to. It is much 
better not to mix enough salt with the feed 
than it is to mix too much with it. I 
would also increase the clover bay a little 
if your cow will eat it with a relish. 
c- s. G. 
Ration for Heifers. 
I have 35 good-sized two-year-old grade 
Holstein heifers, due to freshen in the 
Spring, and wish to have them in prime 
condition at that time as economically as 
possible. L : nfortunately I have only silage 
enough for cows now milking, and must 
depend for roughage on marsh hay. I can 
buy grain here at the following prices per 
ton : Bran, $22.50; brown middlings, $26; 
red dog, $34; corumeal, $34; gluten, $31: 
cotton-seed meal, $33 ; beet pulp. $27 ; oats, 
$1.05 per SO-pound sack. What grain ra¬ 
tion would you advise? Would I better 
cut the hay fine? If oats are fed, would 
it pay to grind them? m. 
Connecticut. 
I would mix 200 pounds of wheat bran 
and 100 pounds of cornmeal with 200 
pounds of ground oats, and feed of this 
mixture just enough to keep your heifers 
in a thriving condition, with plenty of 
swale hay as roughage. I am quite sure 
it will pay you to have your oats ground, 
as they are more easily and completely 
masticated than when fed whole. You can 
continue this feed right along until about 
three weeks before you expect your heif¬ 
ers to freshen, and then cut out the corn¬ 
meal, feeding only the bran and ground 
oats mixed equal parts by weight. 
c. s. G. 
Cow Feed; Compound Sausage. 
1. Are the waste leaves of cabbage good 
for a milch cow? If so, when should they 
be fed and how much not to have the 
milk and butter taste of cabbage? 2. Is 
there any law here in Pennsylvania regard¬ 
ing selling sausage? Can beef kidneys, 
liver and hearts go in with pork trimmings 
and be sold as pork sausage, or must it 
be sold as compound and what is the 
penalty if any? 3. Buckwheat middling, 
$1.40 per 100; ground oats, $1.50; corn- 
meal, $1.50; wheat bran, poor quality. 
$1.50. What would you add or leave out 
and what amount of each for ration and 
how much per day for cow giving milk 
and to put on flesh ? r. d. r. 
Pennsylvania. 
1. Waste leaves from cabbage are 
valuable as a succulent feed for milch cows, 
aud if fed after milking, in reasonable 
quantity', will not impart an undesirable 
flavor to the milk or butter. Apple pomace, 
when fresh, may also he fed in small 
amounts, hut, as it soon ferments, aud be¬ 
comes unfit for use, it cannot be recom¬ 
mended. 
2. I am told by a Pennsylvania lawyer 
that there is no law forbidding the sale of 
pork sausage, as such, when beef has beeu 
added. I cannot vouch for the accuracy 
of his statement, however, and would sug¬ 
gest that the safest plan would be the 
honest one of selling all sausage, as well 
as other farm products, for exactly what 
they are. If this is done, there need be no 
fear of either State or Federal pure food 
laws. 
3. If limited to the feeds that you men¬ 
tion, the price of all of which are too 
high, however, you can make a good milk 
producing ration by mixing equal parts by 
weight of cornmeal, buckwheat middlings, 
and wheat bran. Eight pounds per day 
of this mixture given in two feedings, with 
suitable roughage, should keep a iuediurc- 
sized cow iu good condition while giving 
milk, though, if it is desired to fatten 
her. tlie proportion of cornmeal would need 
to be increased. At the prevailing prices, 
cotton-seed meal is a cheaper milk-produc¬ 
ing feed than buckwheat middlings, and 
may well be substituted iu the above ration 
for that product. m. b. d.
