Here’s Where Most 
Dairy Farm Accidents Occur 
CTy ASTURE grasses haven’t the necessary 
JL nutrients for milk production. If the 
grain ration is greatly reduced or eliminated 
when the cows are turned on pasture they are 
going to fall off in weight after the first spring 
flush has subsided and suffer a slump in pro¬ 
duction from which they may not recover until 
the next freshening. 
SIMPLE ration containing Diamond 
G AlL Corn Gluten Meal as its protein basis 
will keep your cows in shape and producing 
steadily, give your pasture soil better fertili¬ 
zation from manure, add weight to growing 
heifers and pay you a profit over feed cost. 
Three parts Diamond, 3 parts oats, 3 parts 
wheat bran and 1 part oil meal, fed with good 
pasture, will keep your herd 0. K. through 
the season of hot weather and flies.

Feeding Three Cows 
I would like you to give me a ration for 
my three cows, which are one Holstein 
and two Holstein-Guernseys; all are good- 
sized cows. For roughage I have good 
Timothy hay and drilled fodder corn, 
which i cut each Fall before it gets too 
ripe, so as to get all the sap possible. I 
have no silage nor succulence, but can 
buy beet pulp. I would also like to know 
a ration for Summer. I have good pas¬ 
ture? What should I feed when cows are 
dry? c.w. 
Rockland Go., N. Y. 
There is a distinct advantage in cutting 
corn early for fodder purposes. If the 
bundles are not too large and care is ex¬ 
ercised in curing this feed it will provide 
an excellent source of roughage. Timothy 
hay is not especially useful as a roughage 
for dairy cows. It is much better for 
horses, and if it is of good quality it 
might be desirable for you to replace this 
with baled clover or Alfalfa hay. Mois¬ 
tened beet pulp is a suitable agency for 
succulence, and should be fed until the 
pasture season begins. 
For the dry cows, regardless of whether 
the season is Summer or Winter, a mix¬ 
ture consisting of equal parts of cornmeal, 
ground oats, wheat bran to which has 
been added 10 per cent of linseed meal, 
can scarcely be improved upon. To make 
100 lbs. of this ration, combine 30 lbs. of 
bran, 30 lbs. corn or hominy, 30 lbs. 
ground oats, 10 lbs. of linseed meal. 
For feeding cows in milk during the 
Winter months more variety and more 
protein is necesary. To this end a sim¬ 
ple combination would result from using 
the following ingredients: 200 lbs. of 
cornmeal. 100 lbs. oats; 100 lbs. linseed 
meal, 50 lbs. bran, 50 lbs. cottonseed 
meal. This will make a mixture of 500 
lbs., which will provide concentrates for 
three cows for 20 days. During the Sum¬ 
mer, when pasture grass is available, the 
combination can be still further simpli¬ 
fied by usiug equal parts of cornmeal, 
ground oats and gluten meal. Feed 1 lb. 
of this grain mixture for each 3% lbs. of 
milk produced per day. Frequently it is 
necessary to increase the amount of grain 
during the Winter, and oftentimes it is 
possible to reduce the relative proportion 
of grain that is fed during the pasture 
season. Much depends upon the condi¬ 
tion of the cows and upon the amount of 
milk that they are producing. 
It is important to feed a generous 
amount of grain to cows during their dry 
period, which precaution will make it pos¬ 
sible for them to come to their milk when 
fresh in full vigor.

in Milk! 
Grain with Alfalfa and Corn Fodder 
Will you advise me what kind of grain 
feed would be good for my Jersey cows 
with good Alfalfa hay and some good 
corn fodder? Cows freshened last Fall. 
West Virginia. J. f. h. 
With plenty of Alfalfa hay and good 
fodder available and assuming that you 
have neither silage nor succulence, the 
following grain mixture would serve a 
useful purpose for feeding a herd of Jer¬ 
sey cows: 150 lbs. linseed meal, 300 lbs. 
cornmeal. 200 lbs. bran, 150 lbs. cotton¬ 
seed meal, 100 lbs. gluten feed, 100 lbs. 
ground oats. 
If the cottonseed meal carries 43 per 
cent of protein and the other products 
are not of an inferior grade this combi¬ 
nation will carry about 21% per cent of 
protein, which is sufficient for cows giv¬ 
ing approximately 25 lbs. of milk per 
day. 
It would he to your advantage to pro¬ 
vide moistened beet pulp or sugar beets 
or mangel beets to supplement this ration. 
However, with plenty of Alfalfa hay 
available it is more easy to solve your 
feeding problem. If the cows are not 
high producers it would be possible for 
you to reduce the amount of cottonseed 
meal to 100 lbs. and increase the corn 
or oats by 100 lbs. In many instances a 
ration carrying 18 per cent of protein 
when fed in conjunction with choice Al¬ 
falfa hay produces splendid results. This 
amount of protein, however, is insuffi¬ 
cient for use iu feeding cows giving more 
than 40 lbs. a day. Much depends upon 
the condition of the animals and their 
inherited milk making qualities,
