Feeding Problems 
Ration for Dairy Cows 
Will you advise me about a good cow- 
feed? I have corn on the cob, oats and 
buckwheat on hand, which I could get all 
ground together. I wi^h to mix some 
cottonseed and bran. In what proportion 
will it be best to mix? I have Timothy 
hay. oat straw and cornstalks on hand. 
New York. V. B. 
If you have about the same amount of 
corn, oats and buckwheat on hand, mix 
them in equal proportions. If not, mix 
them in a proportion so mixture will last 
you all Winter. Then these feeds are all 
low in protein and do not differ greatly 
in composition. Since your roughage is 
also of low protein nature, you will need 
to use considerable cottonseed meal. The 
feeds you have on hand furnish sufiBcient 
bulk and it would not be necessary to use 
the bran. The grain ration might be as 
follows: 100 lbs. corn and cobmeal, 100 
lbs. ground oats, 100 lbs. ground buck¬ 
wheat and 250 lbs. cottonseed meal, or, 
if you wish, add 100 lbs. bran to the mix¬ 
ture. While this ration still lacks protein 
required to make it balance, it is a good 
palatable milk-producing ration. It 
w’ould, of course, be greatly improved if 
the quality of your roughage was better. 
II. F. J. 
Dairy and Fattening Rations 
Will .\ou bjilance a ration with the fol¬ 
lowing feeds as a base: Protein, 10 per 
cent; fat, .3.5 per cent; crude fibei% mix., 
0 per cent; nitrogen free extract, 50 per 
cent. We feed silage and the mixed 
common hay. Also a ration for fattening, 
with the above as a base. a. G. M. 
New York. 
Feed cows 30 to 35 lbs. of silage per 
head per day and all the hay they will 
clean up. Make grain ration two parts 
of the feed you mention, one part dried 
brewers’ or distillers’ grains, two parts 
cottonseed meal and one part wheat bran. 
Feed grain at rate of a pound to 3i/4 t<; 
4 Ib.s. of milk produced. 
For fattening, use three parts of the 
feed you mention, two parts cottonseed 
meal and two parts bran. n. F. J. 
Ration for Dry Stock 
Will you suggest a ration for feeding 
young heifers ami dry cows, without the 
use of corn silage? I have plenty of oats 
and hay. E. A. P. 
New York. 
Feed what hay stock will clean up and 
make a grain ration of 10() parts ground 
oats, 100 parts middlings and 50 parts 
linseed oilmeal. Feed 3 to .5 lbs. per 
head per day. Keep the heifers in good 
growing conditiou and have the dry cows 
carrying good flesh at calving time. 
n. F. J. 
Ration for Young Pigs 
What is a goml ration to feed young 
pigs? I have to buy whatever I feed. 
Would wood ashes mixed with the food 
be good for bone formation ? c. C. 
There i.s nothing like skim-milk to give 
young pigs a good start. Particularly is 
this true in the Winter, when they can¬ 
not get out on pasture. Possibly you 
have .some of this available. Whether you 
do or not, make the grain ration 50 parts 
middlings, 25 parts cornmeal and 25 parts 
tankage. You .should put the wood ashes, 
preferably containing charcoal, in a box 
where pigs can have free access to them.

You’re in the dairy business for 
profit—the net profit that your 
herd has made you at the end of 
the year will determine the size 
of your tank account. Jerseys 
yield the largest returns from ev¬ 
ery ounce of feed—proved by tests 
at two great expositions. Jersey 
milk averages 5.3% butter fat, 9.1% 
_ solids not fat—highest of all breeds. Buy a Jersey bull.
