Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Cow Refuses Roughage 
I have a large Holstein cow that does 
not eat any hay or silage. All she likes 
to eat is grain. What can I feed her to 
give her an appetite? She is a big milker. 
Rhode Island. s. s. 
A dairy cow which does not consume 
enough roughage can be induced to con¬ 
sume this product by mixing the grain 
with good hay or the coarser material. 
Sometimes it is necessary to scald the 
hay or cut cornstalks and mix this with 
the bran, and oftentimes the addition of 
moitened beet pulp to the mixture will 
correct this condition. If one selects i 
choice roughage, such as clover or Al¬ 
falfa hay, and then reduces the grain 
somewhat until the cow takes to eating 
this roughage, the condition can be like¬ 
wise corrected. 
Ration with Oats and Barley 
I would like to know what grain ration 
to feed for milk. We have good mixed 
hay, and oats and barley off the farm. 
New York. g. w. s. 
With plenty of oats and barley as a 
basis for a ration for dairy cows, and 
assuming that you have neither silage 
nor legume hay, we believe that the fol¬ 
lowing combination is desirable : Ground 
oats and barley, 450 lbs.; cottonseed 
meal, 43 per cent, 200 lbs.; wheat bran, 
100 lbs.; linseed meal, 150 lbs.; gluten 
feed, 100 lbs. 
Feed 1 lb. of this mixture for each 314 
lbs. of milk produced per day, and allow 
the animals all the roughage that they 
will consume. It is assumed that your 
cows will be out to grass when this ration 
is available, and it ought to materially 
increase the flow of milk. 
Feeding Family Cow 
About three weeks ago I purchased a 
Jersey cow for family use. She freshened 
on the 11th of last month. She has been 
getting all the hay she can eat, 3 lbs. of 
beet pulp, wetted, in two equal feedings, 
and 5 lbs. of ready mixed feed in two 
equal feedings. I weighed her milk to¬ 
day, and this morning she gave 16 lbs. 6 
oz., and in the evening 14 lbs. 2 oz. We 
churned today, and from about three 
quarts of cream we got 2 lbs. 14 oz. of 
butter. This was from five days’ .skim¬ 
ming, and we have all the milk and 
cream for table use; also taking out 
whole milk for a young baby from each 
milking. What I would like to know is 
whether the cow is getting what she 
should for this amount of milk. We have 
fairly good pasture, and although the 
green grass is not large yet, the cow 
is in the pasture picking all day. 
M. A. J. 
A grade Jersey producing 36 lbs. of 6 
per cent milk per day should have about 
1214 lbs. of grain per day, so if you are 
feeding only 8 lbs. of grain it is likely 
that the cow will lose somewhat in flesn, 
also that this flow of milk cannot be kept 
at the present level without slight in¬ 
crease in feeding. If the cow is in good 
flesh there would be an advantage in 
changing from a 20 to a 24 per cent feed, 
and it is most likely that her flow of milk 
would increase by providing a ration car¬ 
rying less fiber and compounded from in¬ 
gredients of higher quality. Ground bar¬ 
ley and ground oats are relatively high 
An fiber, and the molasses is not as effi¬ 
cient as cornmeal. If you have some of 
this mixed feed on hand, however, it 
would be well to add 10 per cent of hom¬ 
iny meal and 10 per cent of linseed meal. 
I think you are making a mistake ;o 
turn this cow out to pasture so early in 
the Spring. Not only is it hard on the 
pasture, but it is nearly as hard on the 
cow, for once her appetite is focused 
upon the hahit of green feed that she ob¬ 
tains, it becomes a more difficult prob¬ 
lem to provide a ration that will be satis¬ 
fying. The lower protein feed could be 
used advantageously after the grass is 
sufficiently developed so that she can ob¬ 
tain an abundance of forage from this 
source, but until then I should advise the 
feeding of a ration more concentrated and 
carrying 24 per cent of protein. 
It is evident that you have an excep¬ 
tional family cow and you are far-sighted 
in attempting to provide a ration that 
will enable her to maintain her flesh and 
condition and to keep her production at 
the maximum. 
“The crows went over 
and pulled up my 
neighbor’s corn” 
sA 
writes J. E. Meyers, of West Salem, 
Ohio, And from that day on Mr. 
Meyer’s crow troubles were over, 
“for,” he said further, "I tested your 
Crow Repellent and found it to be 
just as you recommended.’’ 
"Will never try to plant corn with¬ 
out it,” is what C. C. Mulchmore, 
Pike, N. H., says about its value. 
“I could not find a hill pulled,” 
is the word we get from G. White 
Whitehall, N. Y. 
“I recommend it for every corn- 
raiser,” is the way the letter reads 
from J. Putnin, Wolcott, Vt. 
“Crows give my corn-field a wide 
berth,” says H. Van Onlen, Catskill, 
N. Y. 
Stanley’s Crow Repellent 
is the one sure cure for crow troubles. Not only crows, but moles, squirrels 
and all pests will leave your corn-field severely alone, if you coat your seed- 
corn in it, just before planting. You don’t have to wait for it to dry, and 
it positively will not clog the planter. It is not poisonous, and therefore, will 
not kill birds or animals, but, it WILL keep your corn-fields free from damage 
that runs into money and time, if you have to keep re-planting all the time. 
Large can, enough for 2 bu. of seed-corn (8 to 10 acres), $1.50. Half 
size can, $1.00. If your hardware, drug, or seed store doesn’t have it in 
stock, then order direct. Read our “Money Back” guarantee. Address.
