Ration for Guernsey Herd 
Would like balanced ration for nine 
head of Guernsey dairy cows. Have on 
hand silage in good condition; beets and 
carrots; corn, ground oats; dried grass 
for hay, no Alfalfa. M. E. E. 
Sussex Co., N. J. 
Beets and carrots are ill-suited for use 
in feeding dairy cows unless they are 
provided merely as an appetizer. Beets 
are better than carrots, and the carrots 
are more desirable for horses than they 
are for dairy cows. I am assuming that 
you refer to the ordinary garden beet 
rather than to mangel wurtzel for live¬ 
stock feeding. If you have the latter you 
may allow your cows as much as 50 or 
60 lbs. per day. I take it however, that 
with plenty of good silage it is not requi¬ 
site that you feed these root crops except 
for the purpose of an appetizer. 
For Guernseys producing milk from 
which butter is to be made I should uti¬ 
lize a ration carrying approximately 20 
per cent of protein. With the feeds 
available this result can be achieved by 
combining them in the following propor¬ 
tions : 250 lbs. cornmeal, 200 lbs. oats, 
150 lbs. linseed, 150 lbs. cottonseed, 150 
lbs. gluten, 200 lbs. bran. 
In the absence of Alfalfa, feed the next 
best roughage that you have. Feed the 
silage and grain in two equal portions, 
morning and night, and feed the roughage 
that you have during the middle of the 
day. If you have difficulty in securing 
the cottonseed meal of the 43 per cent 
grade then the 40 per cent grade of 
gluten meal can be substituted provided 
the price is reasonable. There has been 
some variation in the price of gluten 
meal and gluten feed and it is necessary 
to remember that the gluten feed carries 
about 25 per cent of protein and the 
gluten meal carries about 40 per cent of 
protein, and that they should be priced 
accordingly. 
Supplementing Home-grown Feeds 
I would like to know what grain to buy 
to complete a dairy ration ; am not in a 
position to get beet pulp, etc., but can 
get bran, oilmeal or gluten. My rough- 
age consists of hay only (Timothy with 
some clover in it), and home-grown grain, 
oats, barley and buckwheat grown to¬ 
gether and about equal parts. I would 
like to use as much of this grain as I 
can. B. J. W. 
A home-grown grain mixture carrying 
substantially equal parts of oats, barley, 
and buckwheat would provide an excel¬ 
lent basis'for a ration intended for milch 
cows. Actually buckwheat middlings 
would be worth more than the whole 
ground buckwheat for it would carry 
more protein, less fiber and more energy. 
It may he advisable to add some buck¬ 
wheat middlings to the carbohydrate 
feeds mentioned and then add the oilmeal 
and the gluten meal in sufficient quanti¬ 
ty to bring the protein up to meet stand¬ 
ard requirements. 
Beet pulp is not indispensable but in 
the absence of silage or roots, it pro¬ 
vides succulence and makes it possible to 
feed an increased amount of grain with 
greater safety. By this I mean that 
where beet pulp is fed and ■where cows 
are being forced by allowing liberal 
amounts of concentrates there is less lia¬ 
bility to inflammation of the udder, in¬ 
volving such complications as garget and 
other troubles. 
Make sure that you feed an abundance 
of roughage, and if this roughage be of 
good quality you can get along without 
the succulence if you have to. A good 
ration cau be provided by combining the 
ingredients mentioned in the following 
proportions : oats, barley, buckwheat, 500 
lbs.; linseed meal, 200 lbs.; cottonseed 
meal or gluten meal, 200 lbs.; buckwheat 
middlings, 100 lbs. 
If it is not practical to obtain the 
buckwheat' middlings, substitute either 
brewers’ grains or gluten feed. If this 
combination appears to be too concen¬ 
trated and lacking in bulk, the addition 
of 100 lbs. of wheat bran would correct 
this condition.

Udder Troubles 
WILL Creep In 
You know from experience that hardly a 
week goes by without some one of your* cows 
Buffering a more or less painful injury to 
the teats or udder. 
Besides theMlfficulty of milking there Is a 
eure loss in the free “letting down” of the 
milk. This may soon wipe out the month’s 
profit for that cow — unless the trouble is 
promptly relieved. 
BAG BALM Is your sure aid In this 
emergency. This great soothing, penetrat¬ 
ing ointment protects and heals Injuries 
to the most tender tissues — does It with 
surprising promptness. Scratches, cuts, 
chaps, bruises, inflammation or hardened 
tissues become normal as Bag Balm heals 
and restores natural circulation. 
For the treatment of Caked Bag, Bag 
Balm can be relied upon for quick results. 
A valuable aid, too, In cases of Bunches and 
Cow Pox. 
Bag Balm Is equally valuable as a gen¬ 
eral healer of any external Injury on any 
animal. Pleasant and economical to use.
