Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Dairy Ration 
Will you tell me what parts of each, 
ground ear corn, oats, oilmeal, cottonseed 
meal, dried beet pulp, will make a good 
ration for milk and cream? Will wheat 
bran add any more to the increase of the 
supply of milk? Will it be necessary to 
feed both oilmeal and cottonseed meal 
with this ration? w. S. w. 
Gardner, Pa. 
There is no one combination of the 
products mentioned that is better than 
any other combination, but it is possible 
to obtain a very useful dairy ration from 
the products you identify. So long as 
bran can be obtained at its present cost I 
feel satisfied that it should be used gen¬ 
erously in all shovel mixtures. In reality 
it is a bulky feed that insures safety as 
well as provides ash and mineral matter 
so evidently essential in all dairy feeds. I 
should use both oilmeal and cottonseed 
meal for the sake of variety, and there is 
very little difference today in the cost of 
a unit of protein in either of these ma¬ 
terials. It is probable that cottonseed meal 
will come down substantially in price. Lin¬ 
seed meal has touched a low spot and re¬ 
bounded slightly, and no one is in a posi¬ 
tion to state exactly what will happen in 
the way of price with either of these pro¬ 
ducts. 
I should combine the ingredients ftm 
dairy cows in substantially the following 
proportions: Corn and cob meal. 200 lbs.; 
oats, 100 lbs.; beet pulp. 150 lbs.; bran. 
150 lbs.; oilmeal, 200 lbs.; cottonseed 
meal. 200 lbs.; gluten feed, 100 lbs. 
I take it that you have some legumin¬ 
ous roughage, such as Alfalfa or clover 
hay, which could be fed generously with 
this combination. If your cows are in 
high condition, that is if they are carry¬ 
ing considerable flesh, the addition of 100 
lbs. of corn germ meal or corn gluten 
meal to this combination would be advan¬ 
tageous.

Ground Corn Fodder in Mixed Feed 
In this county (Berks) we are feeding, 
or will feed this coming Winter, mostly 
corn and oats, with some cottonseed or 
linseed mixed in. and for roughage corn 
fodder and hay. Over the line in Lan¬ 
caster County they have a large mill. 
They grind 1.400 lbs. of corn fodder, add 
200 lhs. cottonseed. 200 lbs. cob corn and 
200 lbs. molasses, which is heated before 
being put on the other stuff. With this 
stuff they claim they fatten steers quicker 
and cheaper than by the old method ; feed 
to cows and they produce 20 per cent 
more milk and is cheaper; it is fed to 
horses and hogs also. They sell all their 
hay: they say they have no use for it. 
How can this hold out? K. F. H. 
Womelsdorf, Pa. 
Do not. be misled into believing that 
ground corn fodder saturated with mo¬ 
lasses and mixed with oat hulls and the 
like can be profitably fed to milk cows. 
Hold steadfastly to the principles that 
you have always practiced, which means 
the use of corn and oats, hulked up with 
wheat bran, and properly supplemented 
with cottonseed meal, oilmeal and gluten 
meal. Diluted molasses covers tip a mul¬ 
titude of sins in the feed business. 
The past season has been a very dull 
one for the feed manufacturer. Low val¬ 
ues of corn and oats and an abundant 
supply of these coarse grains have made 
It possible for the stockmen to buy 
straight grains at a very reasonable cost. 
As a result, storage warehouses are full 
to the brim of oat hulls, weed seeds, 
screenings and the like, and I fancy that 
an attempt will be made to market these 
products during the Winter months 
through the agency of low-grade feeds 
priced at comparatively low prices. The 
sensible and far-sighted dairyman will 
cling to his standard brands of high-grade 
feeds or shovel mixtures rather, than be 
temoted to use inferior combinations. 
I am not surprised that the farmers in 
Lancaster County who buy the feed mixed 
as you have suggested find that they do 
not need to feed hay when this feed.con¬ 
stitutes their ration. In reality it is 
nothing but roughage, although they are 
paying almost a grain price for it. Our 
advice to yon is to stick to standard grain 
rations to supplement the hay that you 
have produced on the farm. There might 
be some excuse for feeding a ration of this 
character to idle or irregularly worked 
horses, but surely not to dairy cows or 
hogs. Swine cannot use to advantage 
bulky feeds that carry large amounts of 
fiber ; rather, they must have grain feeds 
highly concentrated. Dairy cows respond 
to high energy feeds, and if given oppor¬ 
tunity to pick away at corn fodder or hay, 
will provide themselves with sufficient 
bulk. There is nothing to he gained by 
doctoring a lot of coarse feeds with mo¬ 
lasses simply to get them inside of a cow. 
Where does the mill get the corn fodder? 
It is difficult to handle, and the cost of 
milling, it seems to me, would he extrava¬ 
gant. Why not feed it on the farm in its 
original or natural state?
