Feeding Cows on Pasture 
Will you send me a balanced ration for 
my Holstein and Ayrshire cows? I have 
ground oats and can buy bran, gluten, 
hominy or cornmeal, oilmeal and cotton¬ 
seed meal. j. r. h. 
New York. 
Under Summer conditions and taking 
it for granted that you have good pas¬ 
ture, a ration carrying from 20 to 22 per 
cent of protein is suggested. In May 
and June a ration carrying from 18 to 22 
per cent of protein will serve. During 
July and August, when pastures are dry 
and annoyance from flies is encountered, 
much is to be gained by providing a ra¬ 
tion carrying as much as 24 per cent of 
protein. Then, too, much depends upon 
the amount of milk which the individual 
cows are producing and the stage of their 
lactation period, so I am going to suggest 
a 22 per cent ration in this instance, 
with the thought that more protein con¬ 
centrates can be added to the feed fed 
your higher producing individuals, and 
more of some such feed as cornmeal or 
hominy meal can be added to the ration 
fed to individuals producing the smaller 
amount or those approaching the end of 
their lactation period. The combination 
is as follows: Ground oats, 300 lbs. ; 
gluten feed, 200 lbs.; corn or hominy 
meal, 200 lbs.; oilmeal, 100 lbs.; cotton¬ 
seed meal, 200 lbs. F. c. m. 
Goat to Protect Sheep 
Would it do any good to put a goat in 
with sheep to keep the dogs out? They 
were in last night; pasture is some way 
from the house. w. p. c. 
Chatham, N. Y. 
We doubt if the goat would give much 
protection, but we have had no experi¬ 
ence. A savage “billygoat” would no 
doubt make a warlike demonstration, and 
might bluff or frighten small dogs, but a 
confirmed sheep-killer would probably 
beat him. We have had various reports 
about this. Several readers tell us that 
a good goat has kept their flocks immune 
from dogs. On the other hand there are 
cases where dogs have chased and killed 
several flocks of goats.
