Dairy Ration 
Is it possible to make a balanced ration 
for dairy cows with corn and cob meal, 
oil meal and cottonseed meal? Roughage 
is mixed hay. s. n. n. 
Massachusetts. 
Feed all the mixed hay the cows will 
clean up three times a day. Make the 
grain ration two parts by weight corn 
and cob meal, two parts cottonseed meal 
and one part linseed oil meal. Add 1 lb. 
salt to each 100 lbs. of feed and feed a 
pound of grain to each 3 to S 1 /* lbs. of 
milk produced daily. H. F. J. 
Bitter Cream 
I notice that H. (page 192) complains 
of bitter cream. I can tell him how to 
avoid having bitter cream and butter. 
The cream should be soured as soon as it 
comes from the cow. This can be done 
by adding a small quantity of sour milk 
to the new milk (about a tablespoonful to 
20 quarts), then allowing the cream to 
rise; or, if it is desired to keep the skim- 
inilk sweet, by using a separator and add¬ 
ing the sour milk to the cream. By this 
method, we make uniformly good butter 
throughout the year, and it satisfies the 
best retail trade. In making cottage 
cheese, souring the skim-milk as soon as 
possible gives good results. F. B. W. 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
Unless one is churning very frequently, 
it is better to cool the cream from each 
separation and keep it cold until day 
before churning, when sour milk starter 
may bo added to it, the cream warmed to 
70 degrees and ripened. It might be 
possible in some cases to prevent the bitter 
flavor in cream by getting the acid or¬ 
ganisms started first so tL-v would pre¬ 
vent the growth of the organisms causing 
bitterness. H. F. J. 
Home-ground Dairy Feed 
I would like a ration for fresh cows. I 
have good mixed hay, peavine silage; of 
this only a limited amount. I also have 
some wheat, oats and barley, which was 
grown together in nearly equal parts, and 
nome buckwheat. I can grind these grains 
at home. What must be added to produce 
milk? I would also like a ration for a 
purebred heifer calf about a month old. 
She has had new milk up to this time and 
is in fine growing condition. 
So. Dayton, N. Y. b. m. 
Feed all the mixed hay the cows will 
clean up three times a day. Since your 
silage is limited it would be better to feed 
it once a day and make it last as long as 
possible. Make the grain mixture two 
parts by weight of the ground oats, 
wheat and barley mixture, one part 
ground buckwheat, two parts cottonseed 
meal, and one part linseed oil meal: add 
one pound of salt to each 100 pounds of 
feed. Feed one pound grain to each 8% 
to 4 pounds milk produced daily. 
For a grain ration for the calf, mix 100 
pounds ground oats, barley and wheat 
mixture with 50 pounds linseed oil meal. 
Give calf free access to hay. The calf 
can gradually be worked on to skim-milk 
and the above grain fed dry from a box 
where calf can always get at it. Give no 
more than what will be cleaned up in a 
day’s time. H. F. j. 
Feed Lacks Protein 
I have a Jersey cow about eight years 
old. She was fresh last July and'gave 
nine quarts of milk a day. Now I am 
getting 4V> to five quarts a day. She is 
very fat and will freshen again the last 
week in July. I feed her six quarts of 
grain a day, three in the morning and 
three at night, consisting of one quart of 
otock feed, one quart of hominy and one 
quart bran. I put one tablesfioon of salt 
in feed at night only. I give her a hand¬ 
ful of oilmeal once a week and about 80 
pounds of Timothy hay at night, which 
is the only hay I can get. I leave her 
out every day, as the weather is mild. 
I can get the following feeds: Crushed 
oats, cornmeal. middlings. Should I feed 
more hay during the day? l c 
New York. 
All the feeds you mention are of a fat¬ 
tening nature, so it is easy to explain 
why your cow is fat. They are lacking 
in protein, which is necessary to a large 
flow of milk. Try to get some cotton¬ 
seed meal and then make up a grain mix¬ 
ture of two parts by weight of wheat 
bran. 1*4 parts linseed oil meal, one part 
hominy and two parts cottonseed meal. 
Add one pound of salt to each 100 pounds 
of feed. Feed a quart of the grain mix¬ 
ture to each It4 quarts of milk produced 
daily. Hay should be fed in smaller 
amounts at least three times daily, feed¬ 
ing what the cow will clean up. I am 
sure this ration will give you better re¬ 
sults unless the cow is one that naturally 
puts most of her feed on her back instead 
of into the pail. This may be the case, 
since nine quarts a day is rather a small 
amount for a mature Jersey cow to give 
when fresh. H. F. j. 
Farmers are getting $40 per ton for 
hay, $1 75 bu. for potatoes, straw $20. 
butler 80c. eggs 70c. No oats or corn for 
sale, hay being the leading product. The 
farm conditions last year were poor on 
account of high price of fertilizer and 
shortage of help, and it does not look 
much i f or thri coming vear.
