PASTURES NOW ! BELOW NORMAL ; . —- | Conditions Force Dairymen; To Feed Grain Ration. "The past week's hot, dry we*i ;ther caused a general drying and browning of pastures over all sec tions east of the Rocky moun tains" reads the July 16 feed mar ket report of the United States de partment of agriculture. The, re port goes on to state that the con dition of pastures on ■ July 1 was .74.6 per cent of normal compared with the 10 year average of 82.6 per cent. | Such a report does not sound so good for the dairy farmer who has ■been depending on grass to fur nish feed for his herd throughout ithe summer, for it means that the cows must receive a full feed of grain earlier than in the average year. j The condition indicated by this 'report, however, may prove a bene | fit to the dairymen, for it will force them to feed when ether wise they might not have started giving their cows grain until their bodies had been irreparably injur jed by the lack of feed, due to short grass which the farmer had ■ thought was furnishing plenty of feed to produce milk, j The government's report indi : cat.es that there is absolutely no feed value in most of the pastures, so the'farmer can not depend any 'longer on the grass, but is forced to feed grain if he expects his cows to continue to give any 1 milk. j The cows should now receive the 'same ration given them during the j winter A ration recom | mended by the department of ag riculture in its bulletin, "Feeding Dairy Cows," is composed of 200 pounds of ground oats; 100 pounds of corn-gluten feed; 200 pounds ot wheat bran, and 100 pounds of lin seed meal. This mixture should bo fed at the rate of one pound for each three or four pounds of milk, and should be fed with legume hay and silage.
