An  Interesting  Guernsey  Family 
Guernsey  Cow  “Governor  and  Pantine  2d’s  Kate  S  94619"  born  March  10,  1919,  her 
di  aghter  "Sregor  Kitty  134456"  born  December  6, 1921,  and  her  son  “Sregor  Ultra  King 
85369"born  November  17,1922, all  of  Sregor  Farms,  owned  by  W.H. Rogers, Oxford, N.Y. 
A  Wonderful  Record 
In  addition  to  giving  birth  to  this  pair  of  beautiful  calves,  this  young 
cow  produced  11,221.8  lbs.  milk  containing  610.29  lbs.  butter  fat  in 
her  first  year’s  milking  in  class  FF. 
“Governor  and  Fantine  2d’s  Kate  S”  began  her  record  December 
17,  1921,  eleven  days  after  she  freshened.  She  was  bred  February  7, 
1922,  and  gave  birth  to  “Sregor  Ultra  King”  November  17,  1922,  the 
handsome  calf  pictured  above,  which  weighed  about  85  lbs.  at  birth. 
She  carried  this  calf  284  days  during  the  test  and  finished  the  test 
December  16,  1922,  one  month  after  freshening. 
This  record  places  “Governor  and  Fantine  grid’s  Kate  S”  among 
the  highest  producers  of  her  class. 
The  following  quotations  from  a  letter  received  from  her  owner, 
Mr.  W.  H.  Rogers,  Oxford,  N.  Y.,  under  date  of  February  10,  1923, 
tell  the  story.  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed  will  do  as  well  for  you  if  fed 
with  roughage  as  intended. 
“  In  January,  1922,  she  produced  1196.8  lbs.  milk,  59.70  lbs.  butter  fat  In  March 
1108.7  lbs.  milk,  61.09  lbs.  butter  fat.  In  June,  1028  5  lbs.  milk,  58.11  lbs  butter  fat. 
In  August. 985. 5  lbs  milk, 54.60  lbs  butterfat.  All  intervening  months  being  over 
50  lbs.  butter  fat.  She  finished  her  year  In  perfect  physical  condition,  making 
504.3  lbs.  milk,  26.12  lbs.  butter  fat  the  last  sixteen  days  " 
TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed  Made  the  Record 
“During  all  this  period  she  never  missed  a  single  feeding,  which  was  an  ex¬ 
clusive  grain  ration  of  Red  Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed.  During  the  month  of 
March  she  atea  daily  ration  of  19  lbs.  of  Red  Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed  From 
December  22, 1921, to  August  26,1922, she  never  ate  less  than  15  lbs.  daily  of  Red 
Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed,  and  during  the  greater  part  of  the  period  she  at* 
16  to  18  pounds  daily  " 
The  above  records  are  the  result  of

FEED 
SERVICE 
TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds  have  never  failed  to  produce  satisfactory 
results  when  fed  in  conjunction  with  the  class  of  roughage  specified 
to  be  fed  with  them  as  directed. 
Red  Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed 
to  be  fed  with  low  protein  succulent  roughage:  Si¬ 
lage,  pasturage,  green  fodder,  etc. 
White  Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed 
to  be  fed  with  medium  protein  dry  roughage:  Timo¬ 
thy  hay,  mixed  hay,  corn  fodder,  etc. 
Blue  Brand  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed 
to  be  fed  with  high  protein  dry  roughage:  clover  hay, 
alfalfa,  etc. 
To  add  any  other  feed  will  unbalance  the  ration;  the  results  will  not 
be  as  good  and  the  cost  of  production  will  be  increased.  This  is  true 
whether  the  addition  is  a  cheap  feed  or  high  concentrate. 
The  uniform  nutritive  standard  of  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds  is  always 
maintained.  The  results  obtained  have  proven  the  standard  correct 
and  nothing  should  be  added  to  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds.

Ration  for  Bull  Calf 
How  would  you  feed  a  bull  calf  three 
months  old?  We  left  him  writh  his  mother 
eight  weeks  and  then  we  made  him  drink 
out  of  a  pail,  giving  him  about  8  qts.  per 
day ;  besides  he  eats  about  2  qts.  of  grain 
and  two  handfuls  of  silage  per  day  and  a 
little  hay.  We  have  been  feeding  him  a 
grain  mixture  of  25  lbs.  of  ground  oats, 
25  lbs.  ground  corn,  25  lbs.  bran  and  25 
lbs.  oilmeal.  He  has  lost  a  little  flesh 
and  his  hair  is  rough  since  we  took  him 
away  from  his  mother.  s.  B. 
New  York. 
The  ration  that  you  are  providing,  viz., 
equal  parts  of  oats,  corn,  bran  and  lin¬ 
seed  meal,  is  very  well  suited  for  feeding 
calves  three  or  four  months  of  age.  I 
should  continue  the  use  of  skim-milk  until 
this  calf  is  10  months  old,  and  allow  him 
free  access  to  choice  roughage  and  the 
grain  ration  that  you  are  now  using. 
Naturally  When  new  milk  is  discontinued 
the  calf’s  coat  will  roughen  and  his  gen¬ 
eral  appearance  will  depreciate ;  but  if 
he  grows  and  gains  in  weight  the  outcome 
will  be  satisfactory.  It  is  a  mistake  to 
attempt  to  keep  calves  in  high  condition 
during  their  early  age,  for  not  only  is  it 
an  expensive  procedure,  but  they  .  are 
bound  to  have  a  reaction  later  on  when 
the  excessive  amount  of  feed  is  denied 
them.  Plenty  of  legume  hay,  either  clover 
or  Alfalfa,  with  approximately  10  qts.  of 
skim-milk  per  day,  and  as  much  of  the 
grain  ration  ^as  he  will  clean  up  with 
relish,  will  surely  result  in  growing  this 
calf  in  a  satisfactory  manner.  Nothing 
will  be  gained  by  allowing  him  to  continue 
on  new  milk,  because  the  cost  of  this 
method  of  feeding  would  be  out  of  all  pro¬ 
portion  to  its  usefulness. 
Improving  Dairy  Ration 
Will  you  tell  me  how  to  get  a  good 
balanced  ration  for  my  dairy?  They  are 
grade  Holsteins,  good  milkers,  but  they 
are  low  in  butterfat.  Their  test  runs 
from  3  per  cent  to  3.6  per  cent.  When  I 
feed  for  more  milk  it  knocks  out  on  the 
test.  I  am  feeding  100  lbs.  wheat  feed, 
100  lbs.  hominy.  150  lbs.  gluten,  25  lbs. 
oilmeal,  all  mixed  together,  about  14  lbs. 
per  cow  at  two  milkings,  or  7  lbs.  per  cow 
morning  and  afternoon,  and  about  three- 
fourths  crate  of  silage  per  cow  twice  a 
day,  and  two  feedings  of  mixed  hay, 
clover.  Red-top  and  Timothy.  These  cows 
freshened  in  November  and  December. 
New  York.  A.  j.  c. 
If  your  herd  of  dairy  cows  is  made  up 
entirely  of  Holsteins,  then  a  butter  test 
reading  of  3.6  per  cent  is  normal.  Un¬ 
less  cows  have  been  given  a  substantial 
rest  period  and  have  accumulated  consid¬ 
erable  flesh  during  their  dry  period,  one 
is  apt  to  produce  milk  somewhat  lower 
in  butterfat  during  the  flush  of  their  milk 
flow.  Nevertheless,  it  is  quite  generally 
admitted  that  it  is  impossible  to  modify 
the  butterfat  content  of  milk  by  making 
variations  in  the  ration.  It  is  natural 
for  a  cow’s  milk  to  test  lower  when  she 
is  fresh  than  later  when  she  is  in  the 
middle  or  during  the  end  of  her  lacation 
period,  and  nothing  can  be  done  to  in¬ 
crease  the  percentage  of  butterfat  in  the 
milk. 
The  ration  that  you  are  now  feeding  is 
faulty  in  that  it  lacks  variety  and  would 
not  be  especially  palatable.  A  mixture 
consisting  of  250  lbs.  hominy,  250  lbs. 
bran,  200  lbs.  gluten  feed,  150  lbs.  lin¬ 
seed  meal,  150  lbs.  cottonseed  meal,  200 
lbs.  brewers’  grains,  is  suggested.  This 
will  produce  a  22  per  cent  protein  feed, 
and  if  fed  in  proportion  to  the  production 
will  give  you  satisfactory  results.  Feed 
1  lb.  of  this  mixture  for  each  3%  lbs.  of 
milk  produced  per  cow  per  day,  and  in 
addition  allow  all  of  the  silage  and  rough- 
age  that  the  cows  will  consume.  Red-top 
and  Timothy  hay  are  ill-suited  for  use  in 
feeding  milk  cows,  and  more  clover  or 
Alfalfa  will  give  you  better  results. 
Lessened  Miilk  Flow 
Could  you  give  me  a  ration  for  my  Jer¬ 
sey  cow,  five  years  old,  due  to  freshen  last 
of  June?  She  only  gives  about  two  quarts 
a  day,  and  should  give  five  or  six ;  has 
decreased  her  flow  of  milk  very  much  the 
past  four  or  five  weeks,  and  I  don’t 
understand  the  reason,  as  she  is  in  good 
order  and  has  plenty  to  eat  and  drink. 
New  Hampshire.  N.  P. 
By  combining  three  parts  of  cornmeal, 
two  of  oats,  two  of  linseed,  one  of  cotton¬ 
seed,  one  of  gluten  and  one  of  bran  you 
will  have  a  combination  that  will  give  you 
satisfactory  results.  Of  course,  after  a 
cow  has  been  milking  for  six  months  or 
more  it  is  not  an  easy  matter  to  increase 
her  flow  of  milk,  especially  if  this  con¬ 
dition  is  the  result  of  feeding  an  insuf¬ 
ficient  amount  of  grain  or  roughage.  The 
addition  of  some  form  of  succulence,  such 
as  beet  pulp  or  mangels,  would  help  ma¬ 
terially  until  grass  is  available  in  the 
Spring.  Make  sure  that  her  hay  is  of 
good  quality  and  that  the  cow  is  given  a 
generous  amount  of  grain.-  When  she 
goes  dry,  feed  her  5  or  6  lbs.  daily  of  a 
mixture  consisting  of  equal  parts  of  corn, 
oats,  bran  and  linseed  meal.  This  will 
bring  her  into  good  flesh,  and  when  she 
freshens  she  will  be  in  a  position  to  pro¬ 
duce  more  milk  and  to  continue  her  lac¬ 
tation  over  a  longer  period  of  time.
