the use of moisrened beet pulp as a suc¬ 
culent feed. Since you have only one 
cow it might be to your advantage to se¬ 
cure some one of the mixed feeds that 
carry 24 per cent of protein, and one that 
does not analyze more than 10 per cent 
of fiber. However, if you prefer to shovel- 
mix your ration the simplest combination 
would result from mixing equal parts of 
corn, oats, bran and linseed meal. If the 
cow gives more than 40 lbs. of milk per 
day I should add half as much cotton¬ 
seed meal as I fed linseed meal, in order 
to bring the protein content up to 20 per 
cent. 
Give the cow all of the hay she will 
consume, and feed 5 lbs. of the dry beet 
pulp, which would be about 25 lbs. of 
the moistened beet pulp, in two equal 
feedings, morning and night. 
Depraved Appetite; Garget 
1. Could you suggest what cows would 
want when they vat dirt? They eat to 
such an extent that they make small 
holes in the ground. They have corn 
stalks, silage and hay each once a day. 
Mix my own feed with salt in it. I have 
been giving them condition powders late¬ 
ly. 2. I also have been Having udder 
trouble. The quarter will swell up and 
be down normal inside of 12 hours Then 
in a week or two it will repeat. The 
milk is all right except once in a while 
we notice a few thick bunches I have 
given saltpetre with no results, c. H. 
New Jersey. 
1. When cows eat earth it is a sign 
that they crave something not furnished 
by their feed and when that is the case 
they are suffering, as a rule, from chronic 
indigestion. Garget may be associated 
with such a trouble. It is likely that 
your ration is not complete. Better omit 
salt from the feed but allow the cows 
free access to rock salt or block salt. 
Also let them lick at will some air-slaked 
lime or ground limestone, and wood 
ashes or steamed bone meal. If the con¬ 
centrate now fed does not contain bran 
and oilmeal, those feeds should be added. 
If the hay is Timothy, or wild or swale 
hay, clover or Alfalfa should be sub¬ 
stituted as they furnish needed protein, 
lime salts and a necessary vitamine. Let 
the cows take outdoor exercise every day 
and see to it that they are well supplied 
w’ith pure drinking water. If the crav¬ 
ing for' earth continues after these mat¬ 
ters have been attended to mix in each 
feed, or at least twice daily, a tablespoon 
of a mixture of two parts of powdered 
wood charcoal and one part each of bi¬ 
carbonate of soda, nux vomica and 
fenugreke, by weight. 
2. The cows are attacked periodically 
by a subacute or simple form of garget 
not caused by germs (streptococci) and 
therefore not ushered in by a chill, fol¬ 
lowed by fever, lameness, loss of appe¬ 
tite and great swelling, heat and pain of 
the udder and change in the quality and 
consistency of the milk. We mention 
these symptoms that you may be on 
your guard should such a dangerous at¬ 
tach occur. Causes of simple mammitis 
or garget are coming in heat, chill, bruis¬ 
ing, irregular or incomplete milking, 
change of milkers, change of feed, indi¬ 
gestion and prolonged feeding of exces¬ 
sively rich protein feed. So far as pos¬ 
sible remove or avoid such causes. At 
times of attack strip the udder clean 
once an hour and in the evening rub in 
a mixture of one part of pure turpen¬ 
tine, one part of fluid extract of poke 
root and eight parts of unsalted lard or 
sweet oil. Also give internally at such 
time a tablespoon of powdered saltpeter 
and two drams of fluid extract of poke 
root in a little water. If the attack 
tends to persist give the internal treat- 
m£g} twice daily and presistently bathe 
the udder with hot water or poultice it 
with antiphlogistirie applied hot. A. s. A. 
Mangels for Cows 
How many mangel beets should a fresh 
cow have a day? How would you bal¬ 
ance a ration using 500 lbs. of oats to a 
ton mixture? I want it heavy in protein 
to enable a cow to give a large flow of 
milk. B. T. 
New York. 
A Holstein cow will consume from 50 
to 75 lbs. of mangel beets per day if they 
are chopped up and supplied in two feed¬ 
ings, morning and night; 60 lbs. is not 
an unusual daily consumption. You re¬ 
alize that they carry about 90 per cent of 
water, and that they serve as a highly de¬ 
sirable succulent feed. A ration carrying 
500 lbs. of oats to the ton and yielding 24 
per cent of protein wQuld result from 
combining the ingredients you mention 
in the following proportion : 500 lbs. of 
hominy or cornmeal. 600 lbs. oilmeal, 300 
lbs. 43 per cent cottonseed meal, 200 lbs. 
bran, 200 lbs'., gluten meal, 500 lbs. 
ground oats. 
You will note that I have mentioned 
gluten meal rather than the gluten feed, 
as the former carries considerable more 
protein- than the gluten feed. If you pre¬ 
fer to use the gluten feed rather than the 
gluten meal or a combination of these 
two products, remember that the gluten 
meal carries nearly twice as much pro¬ 
tein as the gluten feed. f. c. M. 
Farm and Garden Notes 
Foot and mouth disease, one of the 
severest maladies of cloven-footed ani¬ 
mals, has appeared in the United 
States, according to the Department of 
Agriculture. Secretary Wallace of the 
Depai-tment. of Agriculture has declared 
a quarantine on the counties of Alamada, 
Contracosta, and Solano, and in co¬ 
operation with the livestock sanitary au¬ 
thorities of California is taking steps to 
prevent the further spread of the disease. 
On farms where infection is found no 
live stock can be moved, dogs are not al¬ 
lowed to run at large and the farmer and 
his family are as strictly confined to their 
homes as if they were carriers of typhus 
germs. No farm products can be moved. 
The United States has suffered seven pre¬ 
vious outbreaks and has succeeded in 
eradicating them before they have spread 
widely. The worst was in 1914. Canada 
has put an embargo on shipping of live 
stock, hay, straw, fodder or manure from 
California, Oregon and Nevada. 
Flour milling interests argued before 
the Tariff Commission February 25 for 
maintenance of the present tariff relation¬ 
ship between wheat, flour and wheat 
products. They were unable to produce 
production costs of wheat feeds and ad¬ 
journment was taken until February 27, 
when the commission expected to close 
the hearings on the costs of wheat, flour 
and feed production in connection with 
the application for a tariff increase re¬ 
quested by the wheat council of the 
United States. The millers testified 
Canadian millers were able to put down 
a barrel of flour in New York, after 
paying a duty of $1.53. for seven cents 
less than it cost American millers to 
place flour on the New York market. 
They pointed out that if the wheat duty 
were increased 50 per cent, and a cor¬ 
responding increase were not placed on 
flour Canadian millers would be able 
to undersell American millers in the 
New York market to the extent of 77 
cents a barrel. The Canadian millers, it 
was said, have crowded American flour 
off the British and continental markets 
and were making inroads in the Ameri 
can export flour trade in the West 
Indies. 
A total of $56,758,513, of which $17.- 
700,000 would be available for improve- 
i ent of highways during the coming fis¬ 
cal year, is carried in the annual agri¬ 
cultural bill, reported February 22 by the 
House Appropriations Committee. The 
total is $16,082,940 less than the appro¬ 
priation a year ago, when $32,300,000 
was allotted for State aid road construc¬ 
tion, and is $471,312 less than budget 
estimates. For the enforcement of spe¬ 
cial laws by the Department of Agricul¬ 
ture the bill carries $2,627,000, the items 
including packers and stockyards act, 
$452,540; grain futures act, $104,460; 
plant quarantine act, $324,420; insecti¬ 
cide act. $140,575; grain standards act, 
$500.000; warehouse act, $163,000; cot¬ 
ton futures and cotton standards acts. 
$185,000; food and drug act, $716,000. 
An additional $1,071,159 is provided for 
meat inspection, $308,000 .for market in¬ 
spection of perishable food and $682,480 
for the department’s news service on 
fruits and vegetables. An appropriation 
of $20,000 is authorized to enable the 
Weather Bureau to give warnings 
throughout the country to fruit growers 
as to frost and advice on harvest 
weather and fruit spraying conditions. 
The bill carries $3,277,600 for eradica¬ 
tion of tuberculosis among cattle, the 
major portion of it to be spent in in¬ 
demnities; $660,000 for eradicating cattle 
tick, $184,000 for eradicating hog cholera, 
$328,480 for blister rust control. $411,- 
315 for barberry eradication, $572,360 
for preventing the spread of moths and 
$216,350 for preventing the spread of the 
European corn borer. Provision is made 
for the appointment of delegates to the 
International Seed Testing Conference 
to be held in England during 1924.
