Improving Ratioji; Cow off Feed 
Could you give me a better grain ra¬ 
tion than the one I am feeding? It is, 
600 lbs. beet pulp. 600 lbs. corn and 
oats, 300 lbs. oilmeal, 300 lbs. gluten, 100 
lbs. bran, 200 lbs. 36% cottonseed meal. 
I have good -Alsike clover and good silage 
for all Winter. I am feeding one bushel 
of silage night and morning to each cow, 
with hay twice a day and all the water 
they want. My cows are giving 45 to 60 
lbs. of milk a day but I do not think they 
are doing as well as they should. I mix 
and wet the feed in the morning for the 
two feedings (morning and night). What 
do you think is the best way to feed it, 
wet or dry. I am feeding the new milk¬ 
ers, 1 lb. of feed to 3% of milk. I have 
one cow that refuses to eat any feed at 
all. She. was giving 58 lbs. of milk, and 
now she is only giving 20 lbs. a day. She 
is very gaunt. Can you tell me what 
is the matter? Would you put any salt 
in the feed? Thera is salt in the silage. 
Utica, N. Y. c. w. c. 
There is no economy in feeding beet 
pulp at present prices provided you have 
a sufficient amount of silage to carry 
your cows through the Winter. The mix¬ 
ture that you are now feeding, provided 
the gluten mentioned is gluten feed, and 
the cottonseed meal carries 36 per cent of 
protein, will yield approximately 18 per 
cent of protein. For cows giving from 45 
to 60 lbs. of milk per day this is not 
enough crude protein for maximum pro¬ 
duction. In addition to being relatively 
expensive it is clear that you have not 
selected your ingredients with the great¬ 
est care. ’While it is true that beet pulp 
is bulky, and that it will increase the 
digestibility of other products, bran is 
more desirable under the conditions, and 
buckwheat middlings will provide energy 
and considerable more protein at much 
less cost ; hence the proposed combina¬ 
tion ; 650 lbs. corn or hominy meal, 300 
lbs. buckwheat middlings, 300 lbs. bran, 
350 lbs. linseed meal, 200 lbs. gluten 
meal, 200 lbs. 43 per cent cottonseed 
meal. If the gluten is gluten feed rather 
than gluten meal use 300 lbs. in the mix¬ 
ture instead of 200 lbs. of the gluten 
meal. This will provide a combination 
carrying 22 per cent of protein. For 
cows giving as much as 60 lbs. of milk I 
should feed, in addition, from a quarter 
to a half pound extra of cottonseed meal. 
Add also 30 lbs. of salt to a ton mixture. 
It is not advisable to moisten this 
grain mixture previous to feeding. If 
beet pulp is fed it should be moistened 
and fed separately and not mixed with 
the other concentrates. Under ordinary 
circumstances when the regular grain 
mixture is moistened it becomes less pal¬ 
atable and the mixture is more apt to be¬ 
come filthy and sour. ' 
Insist that the cows partake gener¬ 
ously of the Alsike clover hay and feed 
them all of the silage that they will con¬ 
sume morning and night. For the cows 
that are giving 60 lbs. of milk there 
would be some advantage in feeding them 
some moistened beet pulp. This is to 
maintain the maximum production, how¬ 
ever, rather than to reduce the cost of 
the mixture. 
For the cow that is off feed I should 
suggest that she be given a purge, com¬ 
pounded by mixing 1 lb. of Epsom salts 
with 1 lb. of molasses and diluting this 
with a quart of warm water. After 12 
hours give her a bran mash made by 
pouring scalding water over two quarts 
of beet pulp and two quarts of bran and 
a little salt. For a few days let her have 
access to a mixture consisting of equal 
parts of beet pulp and bran to which 15 
per cent of linseed meal has been added; 
continue her access to silage and let her 
have all of the Alsike clover hay that 
she will eat twice daily. You are feed¬ 
ing the correct amount of grain. 
. For the dry cows I should use a mix¬ 
ture consisting of equal parts of corn or 
hominy, bran, and oats, to which has 
been added 15 per cent of linseed meal. 
F. c. M. 
On page 1506, in your list of the cows 
making the largest milk and butter rec¬ 
ords, no mention is made of the great 
Shorthorn cow, Melba 15th of Darbalara, 
with a record of 29,422 lbs. of milk and 
1,316 lbs. of fat, being the largest milk 
and butter record for any cow of any 
breed on three milkings a day. Surely a 
cow making such a record is worthy of 
mention, no matter to what breed she be¬ 
longs. w. c. L.

Mr. Dairy Farmer: 
Do you raise your own cows? If so, 
does their quality suit you? 
Do you have trouble maintaining re¬ 
quired and desired butterfat test? 
Is your herd making money ? 
If any of these problems confront you 
DO YOU KNOW 
That AYRSHIRE COWS produce the highest 
Grade commercial milk at least cost ? That grade 
AYRSHIRE COWS are being sought at high 
prices by high-grade milk makers everywhere? 
That you can use an AYRSHIRE BULL on your 
herd and help solve some of these problems easily 
and quickly? 
A. R. Record 14141 lbs. milk 
595.27 lbs. fat 
We have Registered Ayrshire bulls, out of such 
cows as are pictured above, for sale at low prices. 
We also have a few bull calves and one or two bulls, 
ready for service, that we desire to place in good, 
clean herds and in good hands at no cost except 
transportation charges 
On a year’s free service plan 
These latter are animals we are reserving for future 
use. The single stipulation, in addition to good 
care, in connection with the placing of these bulls 
is, that we have an option to purchase two of their 
daughters at an age and price mutually agreed upon.
