Live  Stock  Questions 
Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Dairy  Feed 
Will  you  give  me  a  formula  of  dairy 
feed  contain iug  cottonseed  meal,  bran, 
corn  (shelled  or  not),  oats?  j.  s.  s. 
Pennsylvania. 
A  ration  consisting  of  200  lbs.  oats,  300 
lbs.  cornmeal,  250  lbs.  bran,  250  lbs.  43 
per  cent  cottonseed  meal,  would  give  you 
a  mixture  carrying  about  18  per  cent 
crude  protein.  The  addition  of  100  lbs. 
of  linseed  meal  would  improve  this  com¬ 
bination  and  give  you  a  very  satisfactory 
mixture.  It  is  assumed,  of  course,  that 
this  ration  would  be  fed  in  conjunction 
with  a  high-grade  roughage,  consisting 
preferably  of  Alfalfa  or  clover  hay.  The 
shelled  corn  as  well  as  the  oats  should  be 
ground  or  crushed,  for  when  fed  whole 
they  are  not  properly  digested. 
Ration  for  Dairy  Cows 
^  hat  feed  would  you  advise  for  our 
herd  of  cows,  22  head,  all  grade  Holsteins 
and  Guernseys,  to  increase  milk  produc¬ 
tion  i  We  peddle  our  own  milk,  which, 
according  to  the  State  of  Massachusetts, 
tests  4.65  per  cent.  At  present  we  feed 
silage  morning  and  night,  hay  at  noon, 
tins  consisting  of  Timothy,  Red-top  and 
Alsike  clover.  Grain  they  receive  night 
and  morning,  mixed  as  follows:  Two 
parts  hominy,  two  parts  gluten  and  one 
part  wheat  middlings.  p.  l.  b 
Massachusetts. 
A  ration  consisting  of  hominy,  gluten 
and  wheat  middlings  would  be  both  unsat¬ 
isfactory  and  expensive.  It  would  lack 
variety,  and  any  attempt  to  provide  all 
of  the  protein  necessary  from  gluten  alone 
would  prove  discouraging.  A  mixture  re¬ 
sulting  from  combining  250  lbs.  hominv, 
3-50  lbs.  ground  oats,  200  lbs.  linseed 
lbs.  £luten  meal,  200  lbs.  bran, 
100  lbs.  cottonseed  meal,  will  give  you 
better  results.  Wheat  middlings  are  not 
as  satisfactory  as  wheat  bran  in  a  ration 
intended  for  dairy  cows,  and  since  they 
are  invariably  higher  in  price,  it  is  more 
satisfactory  to  use  coarse  bran,  and  rely 
upon  hominy  meal  or  cornmeal  to  provide 
the  added  carbohydrates.  Later  on,  when 
your  cows  have  access  to  pasture,  a  ration 
consisting  of  400  lbs.  cornmeal,  300  lbs 
gluten  meal.  200  lbs.  oats,  100  lbs.  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal  is  proposed.  Much  would 
be  gained  by  feeding  a  better  grade  of 
roughage.  If  there  is  considerable  Red- 
top  or  Timothy  in  your  mixed  hay.  then 
I  should  add  more  linseed  meal  ‘  to  the 
gram  mixture. 
Feeding  Beet  Skins  and  Tomato  Seeds 
1.  We  operate  a  canning  factory.  We 
can  a  good  many  beets  during  the  ‘season, 
and  I  have  been  wondering  whether  there 
was  any  difference  between  our  beet  skins 
(if  we  dried  them)  and  dried  beet  pulp 
The  foreigners  feed  the  wet  skins  to  their 
cows,  but  I  don’t  know  what  effect  they 
have  on  the  cows.  Can  dried  beet  skins 
be  fed  the  same  as  dried  beet  pulp?  2. 
Gan  dried  tomato  seeds  be  used  with  other 
feeds  for  poultry,  cows  and  horses? 
Pennsylvania.  d.  t.  g. 
1.  There  would  be  considerable  differ¬ 
ence  in  the  feeding  value  between  beet 
pulp  and  the  dry  beet  skins  that  you  have 
available.  In  Western  territory,  where 
sugar  beets  are  extensively  produced,  they 
are  first  pulled,  the  tops  removed ;  they 
are  then  washed  and  sliced  previous  to 
extraction.  The  juice  is  extracted  from 
the  strips  by  means  of  warm  water,  and 
the  resulting  by-product  is  what  we  recog¬ 
nize  as  wet  beet  pulp.  The  waterv  pulp, 
after  being  drained  and  pressed,  contains 
about  10  per  cent  of  solids.  It  is  fed 
extensively  to  cattle  and  sheep  assembled 
near  the  plants  where  the  beet  sugar  is 
produced.  In  some  instances  the  wet 
pulp  is  run  into  silos  or  specially  con¬ 
structed  pits,  but  the  fermentation  re¬ 
sulting  from  this  method  materially  re¬ 
duces  the  feeding  value  of  the  ensiled 
pulp.  The  better  and  more  common  prac¬ 
tice  consists  in  drying  the  pulp,  and  re¬ 
sults  in  the  production  of  a  product  we 
have  come  to  know  as  dried  beet  pulp. 
We  believe  that  the  dry  skins  would  have 
considerable  feeding  value,  but  can  find 
no  instance  where  they  have  been  pre¬ 
pared  in  this  manner.  One  can  readily 
see  that  they  would  have  considerable 
value  when  fed  fresh  from  the  factory ; 
but;  as  to  whether  they  can  be  ensiled  or 
dried  and  profitably  used  is  only  conjec¬ 
ture.  It  would  be  interesting  to  have 
someone  who  has  had  experience  in  dry¬ 
ing  this  product  give  his  method  and  the 
results  obtained  from  its  use. 
.2.  In  sections  of  New  Jersey,  where 
tomatoes  are  produced  extensively  and 
sold  to  canning  factories,  a  vast  amount 
of  pulp  and  seeds  accumulate.  Numerous 
attempts  have  been  made  to  utilize  this 
residue  for  poultry  or  live  stock  feeding, 
but  it  would  seem  that  the  cost  of  drying 
the  product  and  sorting  the  material  is 
quite  as  much  as  the  feeding  value  result¬ 
ing  from  the  product  after  it  is  prepared 
in  salable  form.  So  far  as  I  know,  to¬ 
mato  seeds  are  not  extensively  used  in 
rations  for  live  stock,  even  in  communi¬ 
ties  where  they  are  available  and  abund¬ 
ant.  Usually  the  material  is  used  for 
fertilizing  purposes  and  returned  to  the 
soil.
