Between the poor cow, which should be fed exclusively on roughage, and. the best cows, which: require a large amount of grain or concentrates to produce . most economically, there are many different grades of cows which require ' different amounts of grain.

This has been "due to the fact that concen trates1 or: grains; have been abundant and cheap. It will be many years, if indeed the time ever occurs again, when human food grains or concen trates" suitable for rhuman food will be plentiful and cheap, and the American dairyman must give more attention to better pastures and the use of rela tively "more and better roughage in order that -he may reduce; the use of nigh-priced ' concentrates. European feeders had for a long time before the war learned and practiced this princi ple in feeding,, and .we must now take full "notice of the "force of this eco nomic law of dairy production. What-concentrates are likely to prove most : suitable and economical f or ' the 'Southern dairyman ? This is not only an important question for the Southern dairyman but it is also his-most . difficult problem. . J. As with - roughage, although to a iesser-degree, it will usually be found most profitable to produce the con centrates, on the farm. The costs of handling 'and transportation charges are a considerable part of the cost t of feeding stuff si which ,are purchased, and these. may well ,be sufficient to give the' dairyman-a fair profit on their production. ; Concentrates for the Dairy Ration BUI most dairymen will find it nec essary tcr purchase some concen trates even though an equivalent in feed value be sold from the farm in the, form of grains which are used for human food and may be sold at a price which makes the selling of them and the buying of .other concentrates a prontauie ousmess iransatnuu. instance,, wheat ' and. cotton seed should be sold i if produced, even though wheaCbran and cottonseed meal must be' purchased. As wseeit, cottonseed meal is the only 'proteinic concentrate which should be purchased,1 under present conditions. Of course, soy beans may be grown'and used and we believe this may be done in 'such a manner as to make them more ; economical than cottonseed meal,-even though this lat ter by-product has always and is still selling below, its feed-Value as com pared with. olher feeding stuffs. But if soy beans are grown and threshed it wiltpiy better; to ell tbem for the usual prices than to feed them.
