WHY  MILK  BY  HAND? 
'V7'OU  have  always  said,  "Some  day  I’m  going  to 
have  a  milking  machine  but  I’ll  wait  until  they 
are  perfected.”  Do  you  realize  that  the  Perfection 
has  been  in  successful  operation  on  thousands  of 
dairies  for  nine  years  already?  Why  tie  yourself  to 
the  drudgery  of  hand  milking  any  longer?  Let  a 
Perfection  pay  for  itself  on  monthly  payments.  Pipe 
line  or  portable  electric.  Send  for  catalog.

Handling  Cows  on  Test 
I  wish  advice  ou  feeding  six  Holstein 
cows.  They  range  from  three  to  five 
years  old.  What  should  they  be  fed  for 
green  feed  in  ’Summer?  I  expect  to  raise 
corn,  oats  and  peas  and  millet.  I  have 
some  Alfalfa  hay  in  bales.  We  do  not 
raise  it.  I  have  cottonseed,  gluten,  oil- 
meal.  cornmeal,  ground  oats,  bran,  beet 
pulp.  These  cows  go  on  test  about  June 
15  and  continue  until  August  31  so  as 
to  test  them  all.  n.  R. 
New  York. 
Test  cows  that  can  make  the  most  sat¬ 
isfactory  records  are  milked  four  times  a 
day,  usually  at  11  o’clock  in  the  morn¬ 
ing.  5  o’clock  in  the  afternoon,  31  at 
night  and  5  in  the  morning.  Herdsmen 
find  it  advantageous  to  feed  the  cow  her 
grain  ration  four  times  a  day,  either  dur¬ 
ing  the  process  of  milking  or  following 
this  event.  As  to  feeding  her  during  the 
milking  or  afterwards,  there  is  an  honest 
difference  of  opinion.  Whichever  system 
is  adopted  should  be  continued,  for  varia¬ 
tions  in  the  system  are  disturbing  factors. 
If  you  milk  only  three  times  a  day  feed 
grain  and  succulence  only  three  times  a 
day.  arranging  the  interval  so  that  the 
cow  could  have  some  roughage  and  regu¬ 
lar  rest  periods.  The  amount  that,  can 
be  advantageously  fed  depends  upon  the 
feeding  qualities  of  the  individual  cows. 
Some  will  consume  more  grain  than 
others.  It  is  requisite  that  the  coWs  he 
well  fed  previous  to  calving,  that  an 
abundance  of  flesh  be  stored  on  their 
frames  and  in  their  system  in  general, 
which  will  melt  off  after  the  milking 
function  begins.  Hence  it  is  not  neces¬ 
sary  to  force  feed  cows  during  the  early 
lactation  period.  Rather,  it  is  good 
judgment  to  limit  the  grain  during  the 
early  lactation  period  and  feed  the  gener¬ 
ous  amounts  a  little  later  on. 
Perhaps  the  best  combination  for  suc¬ 
culence  to  be  fed  during  the  Summer 
consists  of  a  mixture  of  equal  parts  of 
oats  and  Canada  field  peas  by  measure. 
They  can  he  seeded  as  early  in  the  Spring 
as  one  can  go  on  the  ground,  and  if  suc¬ 
cessive  plantings  are  made  JO  or  15  days 
apart,  the  result  will  be  the  maturing  of 
a  forage  crop  that  will  be  succulent  and 
palatable.  The  oats  and  peas  can  he 
harvested  when  the  oats  are  in  the  milk 
stage  and  the  peas  are  about  two-thirds 
in  bloom.  If  they  mature  and  pass  this 
palatable  stage  they  can  be  cut  for  hay 
and  cured  for  roughage  and  used  for  feed¬ 
ing  either  horses  or  cattle  during  the 
Winter.  Alfalfa  is  the  idea  forage  crop. 
Kafir  corn  and  Soy  beans  will  also  yield 
succulence,  while  cow  peas  under  certain 
conditions  can  he  used  for  this  purpose. 
For  average  conditions  no  doubt  oats  and 
peas  have  the  most  virtue. 
■While  no  one  dare  say  that  any  one 
mixture  is  better  than  any  other  combi¬ 
nation.  it  is  believed  that  the  following 
mixture  would  serve  you  well  as  a  test 
ration  :  1  fry  brewers’  grains,  50  lbs. ; 
corn  germ  meal,  50  lbs. ;  linseed  meal, 
350  lbs.;  cottonseed  (44  per  cent),  350 
lbs. ;  cornmeal.  150  lbs. ;  coarse  wheat 
bran.  250  lbs.;  Buffalo  gluten  meal,  100 
lbs.  ;  heavy  crushed  oats,  100  lbs. 
-  The  average  analysis  of  feeds  thus 
compounded  will  yield  a  mixture  carry¬ 
ing  24  per  cent  of  protein  and  carry  a 
minimum  of  fiber.  Some  moistened  beet 
pulp  or  mangels  should  be  fed  in  con¬ 
junction  with  this  ration,  likewise  silage 
in  Winter,  and  some  palatable  forage 
crop  during  the  Summer.  For  the  sake 
of  variety  modifications  can  be  made  from 
time  to  time  if  the  animals  tire  of  an 
ordinary  standard  mixture.  If  the  beet 
pulp  is  saturated  with  bran  water  or 
molasses  water  its  efficiency  will  be  in¬ 
creased.  Fifteen  pounds  of  salt  should 
be  added  to  1.000  lbs.  of  this  feed. 
Ration  With  Buckwheat  Bran 
What  must  I  feed  with  buckwheat 
bran  to  make  a  balanced  ration  for 
Guernsey  cows,  eating  Timothy  and 
clover  hay  and  silage?  A.  H.  s. 
Greene  Co.,  N.  Y. 
There  are  about  as  many  brands  of 
buckwheat  bran  as  there  are  mills  that 
distribute  buckwheat  by-products.  The 
buckwheat  hulls  are  very  high  in  fiber 
and  contribute  very  little  digestible  mat¬ 
ter.  Buckwheat  middlings,  however, 
comprise  one  of  the  best  sources  of  feed 
available  at  prevailing  prices  in  New 
York  State.  The  best  grades  of  this 
feed  will  carry  28  per  cent  of  protein 
and  will  provide  almost  as  much  total 
digestible  energy  as  corn.  Buckwheat 
bran  when  added  to  a  ration  or  grain 
mixture  lightens  the  combination  by 
providing  bulk,  increases  its  palatability 
and  makes  it  safe  and  desirable  to  use 
for  dairy  cows. 
For  Guernsey  cows  that  are  consuming 
silage  and  mixed  hay  where  it  is  desired 
to  use  buckwheat  bran,  it  is  believed  that 
the  following  combination  will  prove  at¬ 
tractive:  250  lbs.  of  buckwheat  bran, 
250  lbs.  cornmeal,  150  lbs.  linseed  meal. 
200  lbs.  43  per  cent  cottonseed  meal.  150 
lbs.  brewers’  grains  or  malt  sprouts.  If 
it  is  impossible  to  obtain  either  of  the 
two  last  named  ingredients,  then  100  lbs. 
of  oats  and  50  lbs.  of  gluten  meal  should 
be  substituted.
