Live  Stock  Questions 
Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Poor  Producer 
I  have  just  bought  a  purebred  regis¬ 
tered  cow.  She  is  expected  to  freshen  in 
May,  but  is  milking  now  only  two  quarts 
each  time,  and  to  all  appearances  is  not 
with  calf.  She  is  about  five  years  old, 
big  frame,  good  udder.  Is  there  any  rea¬ 
son  why  she  should  not  milk  12  quarts 
or  so,  unless  she  is  what  you  call  a 
boarder  cow?  Will  good  feeding  increase 
her  flow  before  freshening?  I  am  using 
clover  hay  and  rowen,  and  giving  three 
quarts  of  mixed  grain.  Will  her  heifer 
calf  produce  more  milk?  The  cow  was 
bred  to  a  purebred  bull.  E.  n.  M. 
There  is  no  satisfactory  excuse  for  a 
cow  that  is  due  to  freshen  in  May  to  be 
yielding  only  two  quarts  of  milk  per  day 
at  this  time.  .She  is  either  a  short  season 
milker  or  has  been  correctly  identified  by 
yourself  as  a  boarder  cow.  It  might  be 
possible  to  increase  her  production  by 
changing  her  ration,  although  when  cows 
once  get  down  to  a  low  yield  of  milk  to¬ 
ward  the  end  of  their  lactation  period  it 
is  not  an  easy  matter  to  bring  them  back 
to  a  satisfactory  production.  This  con¬ 
dition  is  all  the  more  inexcusable  if  the 
cow  in  question  is  not  in  calf.  I  would 
suggest  giving  her  a  ration  consisting  of 
equal  parts  of  cormneal,  ground  oats, 
wheat  bran,  linseed  meal  and  cottonseed 
meal.  Feed  her  from  5  to  10  lbs.  of  this 
grain  ration  per  day,  depending  upon  the 
way  she  responds  in  milk  flow.  The  use 
of  some  beet  pulp  as  succulence  might 
have  its  advantages,  and  should  be  given 
a  trial. 
The  mere  fact  that  a  cow  is  purebred 
and  registered  does  not  necessarily  mean 
that  she  is  a  satisfactory  producer,  al¬ 
though  it  ought  to  identify  her  inheritance 
of  intensive  milk-making  qualities.  If 
she  proves  not  to  be  in  calf,  you  Avould 
not  be  justified  in  carrying  her  over  for 
another  lactation  period. 
As  to  whether  her  heifer  calf  would 
produce  more  milk  than  her  records  show 
would  depend  upon  the  sire.  One-sided 
production  is  scarcely  satisfactory  and,  in 
order  to  insure  that  the  heifer  will  be  a 
profitable  producer  of  milk,  it  is  almost 
necessary  to  know'  that  both  the  sire  and 
the  dam  trace  persistently  to  ancestors 
noted  for  persistent  and  satisfactory  flow 
of  milk.  We  have  pedigreed  scrubs  as 
well  as  ordinary  scrubs,  and  a  mere  pedi¬ 
gree  does  not  insure  profitable  production.

Feeding  Heifer  Calves 
Will  you  give  me  a  feeding  ration  for 
heifer  calves  four  months  of  age? 
Connecticut.  s.  E.  s. 
In  the  rearing  of  dairy  calves  it  is  well 
known  that  the  best  results  do  not  follow 
where  the  heifers  are  maintained  in  high 
flesh.  They  should  he  supplied  with  ra¬ 
tions  that  are  complete  and  capable  of 
producing  stretch,  growth  and  satisfac¬ 
tory  development.  After  the  heifer  is 
old  enough  to  breed  and  has  been  safely 
settled,  then  she  can  be  brought  into  high 
flesh  and  prepared  for  the  forthcoming 
lactation  period.  The  use  of  such  leafy 
roughages  as  clover.  Alfalfa  or  Soy  bean 
hay  is  necessary  for  the  best  results. 
I  would  suggest  for  your  heifer  calves 
that  are  four  months  old  a  grain  ration 
consisting  of  five  parts  of  ground  oats, 
two  parts  of  eornmeal,  two  parts  of  bran 
and  one  part  of  linseed  meal.  I  should 
feed  just  enough  of  this  ration  to  keep 
the  calves  growing  and  gaining.  The 
amount  should  vary  according  to  the  size, 
breed  and  condition.  Usually  calves  of 
this  age  will  consume  about  2*4  lbs.  of 
this  mixture  per  day.  It  is  important 
that  they  be  fed  skim-milk  if  it  is  avail¬ 
able,  and  that  they  have  access  to  leafy 
roughage,  as  suggested  above. 
In  addition  to  the  grain  and  roughage 
proposed  I  should  keep  before  the  calves 
at  all  times  a  mixture  consisting  of  equal 
parts  of  salt  and  precipitated  phosphate 
of  lime  or  ground  steamed  bonemeal.  If 
it  is  inconvenient  to  obtain  either  the 
phosphate  of  lime  or  the  steamed  bone- 
meal,  then  equal  parts  of  salt  and  ground 
limestone  will  suffice.  This  mineral  mix¬ 
ture  is  essential  where  legume  roughage 
is  not  available. 
Grain  with  Good  Roughage 
I  have  Jersey,  Guernsey  and  Holstein 
cows,  all  grades.  I  am  feeding  good  silage 
with  lots  of  corn  in  it,  clover  hay  and 
corn  stover  sowed  broadcast ;  very  tender. 
I  have  barley  and  oats  I  could  have 
ground.  A.  V. 
■Since  you  have  available  such  a  high 
grade  of  roughage  and  silage  it  is  possible 
for  you  to  use  less  purchased  feeds.  I 
Avould  suggest  a  combination  consisting  of 
400  lbs.  of  ground  oats  and  barley,  200 
lbs.  of  bran.  200  lbs.  of  48  per  cent  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal,  100  lbs.  of  oilmeal,  100  lbs. 
of  gluten  feed. 
Let  them  have  all  of  the  silage  that  it 
i.s  possible  for  them  to  consume,  likewise 
all  of  the  clover  hay  and  corn  stover  that 
they  will  clean  up  during  the  middle  of 
the'  day,  and  the;  regulate  your  grain 
ration  in  proportion  to  the  daily  produc¬ 
tion  of  each  cow.  I  am  assuming  that 
you  will  use  equal  parts  of  oats  and  bar¬ 
ley  in  your  mixture,  and  that  you  will 
insist  upon  obtaining  the  grade  of  cotton¬ 
seed  meal  that  does  not  carry  a  lot  of 
cottonseed  hulls. 
Are  lice  eating  up  what  you  sorely 
need  to  make  a  profit  from  your  cows? 
Many  a  “poor  milker”  during  the  win¬ 
ter  months  is  carrying  a  burden  of 
lice.  They  live  among  the  hair  roots 
and  sap  her  Vitality  and  productive¬ 
ness. 
Strike  lice  off  your  list  of  boarders 
and  your  cows  will  respond  with  a 
full  milk  pail. 
Graylawn  Farm  LOUSE-CHASE  means  a 
sure  end  to  lice  on  cows,  horses,  swine,  or 
any  farm  animal.  A  little  of  this  wonderful 
powder  dusted  at  the  hair  roots  kills  every 
louse  and  mite.  Only  certain  parts  along
