Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler ■ 
Grinding Roughage for Cows 
What have you to say about ground 
corn and fodder, taking it as it grows, 
and ground as tine as regular cob chop, 
for dairy cows? I am feeding a bushel or 
about 15 lbs. of this ground feed, aud 
about 6 lbs. of mill feed per cow per day. 
The millfeed consists of 200 lbs. oat 
chop, 250 lbs. bran, 100 lbs. wheat mid¬ 
dlings. They have a rack full of fine 
meadow hay three times a day, to five 
cows, and milk about 100 lbs. milk per 
day. Is this good or not? If not, how 
could I better it, or make more profit 
from my cows, using the corn and hay 
mentioned? L. II. L. 
Pennsylvania. 
Grinding roughage does not increase its 
feeding value, nor does grinding make 
the roughage more digestible. The di¬ 
gestive apparatus of the dairy cow with 
her cud-chewing inclination, makes it pos¬ 
sible for her to masticate and use coarse 
products of this character. Unlike the 
pig, she does not require excessively con¬ 
centrated feed, and it is necessary to have 
an extension of the digestive organs. Aa 
old saying is that the larger the cow’s 
bread basket the greater her ability to 
convert coarse fodders into milk. A ra¬ 
tion such as you have been feeding, con¬ 
sisting of 15 lbs. of Cornstalks with oat 
chop, bran and wheat middlings, would 
make a very poor combination. I am sur¬ 
prised that five cows, unless they are just 
fresh, give 100 lbs. of milk per day. on 
this ration. A grain ration consisting of 
200 lbs. of oat chop, 250 lbs. bran, 150 
lbs. linseed meal, 100 lbs. gluten meal, is 
recommended. This will give you a 20 
per cent protein feed. Give the cows all 
of the roughage that they will consume, 
and you will find that they will clean up 
fodder coni of this character without 
subjecting it to expensive methods of 
preparation. Substitute this plan of feed¬ 
ing for the one you are now employing 
and let us know if the flow of milk is not 
substantially increased.

Cotton Seed in Horse Feed 
I noticed in a farm paper an article on 
feeding farm stock during the Winter. 
They claimed to feed cottonseed meal to 
take the place of corn. As our corn crop 
is short, I was thinking of trying it. I 
have nothing but two horses to Winter, 
and they will not have much to do. How 
would it and bran do with hay and corn 
fodder? C. R. 
Arkansas. 
Cottonseed meal should supplement and 
not substitute cornmeal in a ration in¬ 
tended for live stock. There is about as 
much difference between their protein 
value as there is between daylight and 
dark. One carries 40 per cent of protein, 
the other about 8 to 10 per cent. One is 
a fat and energy producing constituent; 
the other supplies protein, which is large¬ 
ly a blood and muscle builder. For live 
stock which has grazed in scanty pasture 
during the Summer, when going into 
Winter quarters, allow Mb. of cottonseed 
meal for each 1.000 lbs. live weight. F’eed, 
in addition, enough cornmeal to keep the 
animal in a degree of flesh or condition 
desired. 
Ordinarily a mixture of bran and corn 
is sufficient for idle horses. Cottonseed 
meal is often incorporated in rations for 
mules in the South, but its use is rather 
restricted with work horses. Bran usu¬ 
ally carries about 14 per cent of protein 
and, in addition to providing bulk and a 
generous amount of mineral matter, it 
has the desired effect as a stimulant for 
the digestive system. i 
Care of Family Cow 
Will you give me a grain formula for a 
Guernsey or Jersey cow milking eight 
quarts per day? The only hay we can 
purchase is Timothy hay : cannot get any 
clover or Alfalfa'. When is a proper 
time to water a cow; that is, before or 
after eating? A. b. s. 
New Jersey. 
It makes little difference whether a cow 
is watered before or after feeding. The 
most common practice is to water the 
cows after or between feedings. A great 
deal of experimental work has been at¬ 
tempted along this line, and the general 
conclusion seems to be that the time of 
watering is not a determining factor in 
milk production. 
With poor roughage I should suggest 
“ Dandelion Butter Color ” Gives That 
Golden June Shade which 
Brings Top Prices 
Before churning add one-half teaspoou- 
ful to each gallon of cream and out of 
your, churn comes butter of Golden June 
shade. “Dandelion Butter Color” is purely 
vegetable, harmless, and meets all Stare 
and National food laws. Used for 50 
years by all large creameries. Doesn’t 
color buttermilk. Absolutely tasteless. 
Large bottles cost only 35 cents at drug 
or grocery stores.
