Feeding Problems 
Richer Milk Wanted. 
I have 11 cows consisting of Jerseys 
and Ayrshires, feed them on union grain, 
gluten and wheat bran, also give clover 
and Timothy hay. They give very poor 
milk. After the milk is bottled there is 
hardly any cream on it. What can we 
do to obtain richer milk? p. r. 
Connecticut. 
From your description it is not possi¬ 
ble to state exactly where your trouble 
lies without knowing more about the con¬ 
ditions under which you are working. As 
a rule Jersey cows give a very yellow 
cream, which shows up well after being 
bottled, while Ayrshires usually give a 
lighter colored cream. If your cows are 
mostly Ayrshires it may he that there is 
plenty of cream on the bottles, hut that 
the cream line is not easily distinguished. 
You do not state the quantity of grain 
you are feeding, but if you are feeding 
your cows all they will eat and digest 
properly of a balanced ration the trouble 
must he with your cows. The quality of 
the milk a cow gives is controlled by the 
cow. while the quantity is controlled to a 
great extent by the man who feeds her. 
In other words, it is impossible to feed 
butter fat into milk provided (lie cows are 
fed a liberal ration, hut if your cows have 
been starved, of course, this may he the 
cause for the production of poor milk and 
also a small quantity. If you still have 
the same trouble after your cows get out 
to pasture the only remedy would be to 
change your herd, or part of it at least. 
C. s. ,T. 
Ration for Jersey Cow. 
Will you give a balanced grain ration 
for grade Jersey stall fed? I have bran, 
gluten, cottonseed meal and O. P. linseed, 
with mixed hay; cow due to freshen in 
three weeks. f. w. b. 
Maine. 
A grade Jersey about to freshen at this 
time of the year should be fed very care¬ 
fully, according to the condition she is in. 
If in good flesh it will not be necessary to 
feed much grain—a little bran with a 
couple of handfuls of oil meal twice a day 
is all that is required—"the object being 
to have the cow in a thriving condition at 
the time of parturition as she will always 
do better during the succeeding months 
than she will if allowed to grow thin and 
emaciated during the Winter. One of the 
causes for poor condition of the stock on 
some farms is lice, which may he quickly 
exterminated by an application of a little 
flil 1/3 per cent mercurial ointment just 
back of the horns and around the tail. 
After freshening the first thing to do is 
to remove the calf out of sight and milk 
the cow. letting her drink her own milk 
if she will. Then give a drink of warm 
water with a pint of bran mixed with it. 
(live a warm drink every two or three 
hours for the first day and at least three 
times a day for three or four days. Grad¬ 
ually increase the bran and oilmeal after 
the first day, being careful not to over¬ 
feed, which will cause fever and conges¬ 
tion. Do not feed any cornmeal, gluten 
or cottonseed until all signs of fever have 
passed, which will be in from two to 
three weeks when a very little of the 
heavier feeds may be fed, watching closely 
that no inflammation of the udder results. 
Increase the grain ration very gradually 
until you are feeding as much as the cow 
will eat and digest properly of the follow¬ 
ing mixture: Five pounds wheat bran, 
two pounds cottonseed meal, two pounds 
oil meal, one pound cornmeal. c. s. G. 
Selling Alfalfa to Cows. 
Arizona farmers are selling Alfalfa hay 
at $8 per ton, when human middlemen buy 
and handle it. The dairy cow makes a 
more satisfactory buyer. The Arizona 
Agricultural College reports the following 
statement by a dairyman who feeds Al¬ 
falfa instead of selling it: 
“Ain’t of milk produced, 200 pounds 
per day; number of cows milked, eight; 
kind of feed, Alfalfa; Am’t of feed per 
day, 250 pounds; value of feed, $8 per 
ton; 24 pounds cream sold per day, 
$3.75 : at market prices. 250 pounds hay, 
$1; wholly marketed in the form of butter- 
fat. $3.75; value per ton, (marketed in 
b. f.) $30. 
“These figures do not take into consid¬ 
eration that the skim-milk is worth 20 
cents per hundred when fed to calves 
or hogs, which should be added to secure 
the total value of Alfalfa per ton when 
marketed in the form of milk. This 
farmer was feeding nothing hut Alfalfa 
hay, and a still larger return, no doubt 
could have been secured if he had supple¬ 
mented this with a little grain.” 
The -forth Dakota Experiment Station 
reports that when the cows were fed sil¬ 
age, Alfalfa hay and oats in a fairly 
well-balanced ration the food cost of pro¬ 
ducing butterfat was 11 cents per pound. 
When no silage nor Alfalfa was fed the 
cost went to 20 cents. These results were 
secured by the farmers in the dairy test¬ 
ing association of Barnes County.
