The Ayrshire Cow. 
On moving from the Wisconsin home 
to this “ancestral hall” from which a 
great-grandfather wont to fight at Lex¬ 
ington, I went in May, 1910, to the 
Brighton market to select a family cow. 
Many years of farm life sort of 
weans one from the ordinary milk¬ 
man’s milk. Of the many animals there 
for sale that market day I noticed one, 
and one only, a heifer, that seemed to 
be eating with relish the not very at¬ 
tractive hay provided. I was told she 
was a grade Ayrshire, shipped from 
Maine, price $75. She is now in her 
prime, and Mr. Aukl’s article on page 
1037 is a well-worded and accurate 
description of her many virtues. I got 
her cheap. Since freshening February 
22 last she has supplied our family of 
three with an abundance of milk and 
cream, and the surplus sold has brought 
over $190. Our well-to-do neighbors 
willingly pay us 10 cents a quart for 
what we can spare. I never saw a better 
feeder and her flow now is 12 or more 
quarts daily. Such animals are treas¬ 
ures, and were I 30 years younger and 
on a dairy farm I would ask no better 
type for a fancy working herd. 
J. F. FROST. 
Grain and Beet Pulp for Cows. 
What is the best grain ration from the 
following to feed cows for milk? I have 
only hay, and no other forage crop to feed 
out, as I did uot get on this farm in time 
to plant. Cotton-seed meal. $1.90 per ton ; 
gluten, $1.55; corn meal, $1.70; beet 
pulp. $1.55; bran, $1.45 brown middlings, 
$1.45; mixed fetal (middlings and bran), 
$1.60. The grain store has molasses at 
13 cents a gallon. They have a commer¬ 
cial mixed feed called sucrene. f. ii. k. 
Billerica, Mass. 
A good combination of grains to feed 
with hay as roughage, for the production 
of milk, is as follows: Four pounds dried 
brewers’ grains; one pound cotton-seed 
meal; one pound gluten meal; four 
pounds dried beet pulp: two pounds corn- 
meal. These ingredients, should be mixed 
and fed according to the requirements of 
each cow. and the amount of milk she is 
giving. Also feed all the good hay your 
cows will cat without much waste three 
times a day. If you do not.care to feed 
the brewers’ grains you could feed a 
pound more of cotton-seed meal and make 1 
up the weight with bran and middlings. 
In regard to the dairy feed you mention 
the analysis given indicates only the por¬ 
tion that is valuable as food. The other 
52 per cent would comprise the water, ash 
and waste material. The beet pulp 
should be soaked at least eight hours be¬ 
fore feeding, with all the water it will 
absorb. Be sure to give your cows all the 
water they will drink, at least twice 
daily, and salt regularly. c. S. G. 
Ration for Dairy Herd. 
Will you advise me as to the best com¬ 
bination of the following foods for large 
milk production from mixed herd of cows 
with considerable Holstein blood, for the 
coming Winter: Ilomiuy, 20 tons; bran, 
20 tons; distillers’ grains, 10 tons: cot¬ 
ton-seed. 6 tons; ensilage, supply equal to 
35 pounds per cow; hay (Red-top and 
mixed grasses with no clover and not 
much Timothy) : quantity sufficient for 
one feeding per day). I shall have to buy 
cotton-seed or gluten. ^ Will you make the 
ration on the basis of gluten in place of 
the cotton-seed ns wejl as with the cotton¬ 
seed and no gluten? Do you advise glu¬ 
ten instead of cotton-seed? a. t. 
A grain ration consisting of one pound 
hominy, two pounds bran, two pounds dis¬ 
tillers’ grains, and three pounds cotton¬ 
seed meal will give about the proper nu¬ 
tritive ratio. Or with gluten fet'd in¬ 
stead of cotton-seed meal, one pound hom¬ 
iny, two pounds bran, three pounds dis¬ 
tillers' grains and three pounds of gluten 
feed. There is no reason why gluten 
should bo used instead of cotton-seed ; in 
fact, I prefer the ration containing the 
cotton-seed meal. You will get best re¬ 
sults by scattering the grain over the 
sihige when feeding. c. L. m. 
Ration for Heifer. 
I have a heifer coming in next month 
and would like to know the amount of 
grain to give her for butter, also what 
kind ? p_ p. 
Gossville, N. H. 
A good grain ration for this heifer 
would be in the proportion of three 
pounds of wheat bran, two pounds oil 
meal, and one pound wheat middlings. 
M ithout more definite knowledge concern¬ 
ing the heifer it would be difficult to say 
just how much to feed. A general rule is 
one pound of grain to three or four 
pounds of milk, hut this is a rather vague 
statement, after all. It will be safe to 
feed not more than two pounds the day 
she comes in, then gradually increase the 
amount as long as it produces a profitable 
gain. If the heifer is a good one. prob¬ 
ably she can take care of six or eight 
pounds daily, or possibly even more.

and use of a purebred Holstein sire of good 
individuality. In a few years’ time you can 
grade up a very poor herd to a profitable basis. 
The Illinois State Experiment Station has

four years by the use of a purebred sire, and 
by testing the individual cows and disposing 
of the poor producers.
