Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Feeding  Colt 
We  have  a  colt  nearly  six  months  old 
which  we  weaned  about  three  weeks  ago. 
We  have  been  unable  to  get  this  colt  to 
eat  grain  either  whole  or  ground.  .  He  is 
fend  of  apples  and  we  have  been  giving 
him  some  two  or  three  quarts  a  day  in 
oats  and  in  bran.  He  eats  the  apples 
out  but  leaves  the  grain.  <  If  you  can 
suggest  some  way  to  get  him  to.  eating 
grain  or  other  concentrated  ration  we 
shall  be  greatly  obliged  to  you.  We  have 
a  little  clover  hay  but  no  Alfalfa. 
Pennsylvania.  E.  V.  C. 
It  might  be  well  to  give  the  six  months’ 
old  colt  a  physic  hall  that  could  be  ob¬ 
tained  from  the  veterinarian,  or  raw  lin¬ 
seed  oil  could  be  administered.  I  should 
take  all  the  apples  from  his  ration  and 
give  him  a  mixture  consisting  of  five  parts 
of  ground  oats,  three  parts  of  bran,  one 
part  of  cracked  corn,  and  one  part  of 
linseed  meal.  In  addition  I  should  take 
a  teaspoonful  of  powdered  gentian  and 
add  to  his  ration  twice  daily  which  would 
serve  as  a  tonic.  Let  him  have  access  to 
clover  hay.  Rather  than  keep  the  grain 
before  the  colt  at  all  times  I  should  allow 
him  only  what  hay  he  might  clean  up 
with  relish,  and  make  sure  that  the  feed 
box  is  clean  and  sweet,  and  not  sour  as 
the  result  of  fermented  or  spoiled  grain. 
See  that  the  colt  gets  some  exercise  and 
a  good  grooming,  and  that  he  has  a 
comfortable  place  to  sleep. 
It  is  possible  that  the  colt  may  be  suf¬ 
fering  from  some  intestinal  disorder,  and 
the  thorough  cleansing  suggested  ought  to 
remedy  this  condition. 
Feeding  Two  Cows 
I  am  feeding  the  following  ration  :  250 
lbs.  cornmeal,  200  lbs.  ground  oats,  150 
lbs.  ground  buckwheat,  200  lbs.  gluten 
feed,  100  lbs.  cottonseed  meal,  100  lbs. 
oil  meal,  using  beet  pulp  as  a  succulent. 
I  average  this  formula  to  give  10  per 
cent  protein.  My  hay  is  Timothy  and 
clover.  Corn  was  a  poor  crop,  and  is 
used  up.  Do  you  think  this  ration  is 
right  or  would  an  addition  of  some  feed 
help?  I  cannot  expect  top  production, 
but  wish  to  do  the  best  1  can.  Next 
Winter  will  try  to  have  plenty  of  corn 
fodder  and  millet. 
I  have  been  using  a  mixed  feed,  but 
the  price  of  $2.75  a  hundred  is  too  much. 
This  formula  given  here  can  be  made  for 
$2  a  hundred.  My  cows,  two  in  number 
will  be  dry  soon  and  I  intend  to  change 
feed  gradually  before  drying  up. 
I  am  trying  to  build  up  a  poultry 
farm  and  am  keeping  these  cows  as  a 
source  of  some  revenue  and  use  the  mill 
for  the  poultry.  This  summer  I  kept  one 
cow,  a  grade  Holstein,  and  she  paid  for 
herself  in  five  months.  My  new  cow  is 
a  grade  Guernsey.  R.  S.  w. 
Pennsylvania. 
If  you  have  only  two  cows  the  chances 
are  that  the  addition  of  15  per  cent  of 
linseed  meal  and  10  per  cent  of  bran  to 
the  mixed  feed  that,  you  are  now  employ¬ 
ing  would  bl  your  simplest  method  of 
procedure.  The  ration  quoted,  however, 
will  yield  20  per  cent  of  crude  protein. 
The  chances  are  that  you  have  miscal¬ 
culated  the  amount  of  protein  that  is 
supplied  by  the  buckwheat  and  have  fig¬ 
ured  on  a  grade  of  cottonseed  meal  that 
does  not  yield  43  per  cent  of  protein.  In 
ail  rations  proposed  in  these  columns  the 
43  per  cent  grade  of  cottonseed  meal  is 
used,  for  one  actually  cannot  afford  lb 
pay  freight  on  •’ottonseed  hiuis.  It  is 
bad  enough  for  +he  farmers  in  general  to 
buy  oat  hulls  in  quantities  distributed 
by  the  unscrupulous  manufacturers  of 
compounded  feeds. 
The  ration  can  be'  simplified  for  your 
dry  cow’s,  and  consist  of  equal  parts  of 
cornmeal,  ground  oats  and  linseed  meal. 
This  is  for  Winter  feeding.  The  linseed 
meal  can  be  reduced  to  10  per  cent  or 
replaced  with  gluten  feed  during  the  Sum¬ 
mer. 
Renting  Purebred  Cattle 
Will  you  please  give  me  the  prospects 
as  to  buying  purebred  cattle  and  putting 
them  out  in  the  feed  to  responsible  farm¬ 
ers  with  but  little  capital  to  purchase 
their  own  start  or  foundation  stock?  If 
you  think  it  advisable,  will  you  please 
let  me  have  some  form  of  contract  that 
would  safeguard  the  owner  and  the 
farmer.  w.  w.  S. 
Pennsylvania. 
There  are  many  reasons  suggesting 
that  the  proposed  arrangement  would  re¬ 
sult  only  iti  disappointment.  Farmers 
who  are  qualified  to  care  for  purebred 
animals  can  usually  find  some  means  of 
financing  such  an  enterprise.  In  other 
instances  the  purebred  animals  would  be 
housed  with  the  grade  and  possibly  dis¬ 
eased  animals  which  would  remain  on  the 
farm,  and  misfortune  would  be  sure  to 
follow  this  practice.  Partnership  at  best 
has  its  disadvantages,  and  it  would  be 
difficult  to  suggest  a  form  of  contract 
that  would  protect  the  owner  as  well  as 
safeguard  the  interests  of  the  farmer.  A 
much  better  plan  would  result  from  joint 
ownership,  where  the  capitalist  supplied 
the  farmer  and  the  farmer  had  a  financial 
interest  in  the  livestock.  This  would 
enable  both  the  tenant  and  the  owner  to 
market  his  grain  and  roughages  through 
mirebred  live  stock  to  the  best  advantage.
