COW REQUIRES LARGE
jr
.i-..s:
Bsef Csttlo Orating In Virginia.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In the cotton-growing sections of the
South, where comparatively few cat
tle have been kept and where they
have not been regarded as a source of
profit the idea has become prevalent
that profitable cattle are those that
consume little feed. It should be re
membered, however, that the feed
they consume is used for two main
purposes. (1) to support the body and
(2) to produce milk. Each one or
these things requires a certain amount
ot feed. If just enough feed Is given
to support the body, there Is nothing
left for the production of milk.' Cow
feed Is worth much more In the form
of milk, cream and butter than in the
form of feed, and the cow that can
convert the most teed into the most of
these products is the most profitable.
The eow is an animal that requires
a large amount of feed, especially
roughage; therefore quantity is one of
the first and most Important princi
ples of feeding.
Cows do better and produce the
largest quantity of milk In early sum
mer, when grass is abundant Grass
is the best feed known, and when pos
sible cows should have plenty of it
If pasture Is limited during the grow
ing season, forage crops, such as corn,
sorghum, millet and the like, should
be planted to supplement the pasture
and assure plenty of green feed. .
Green, Juicy feed, besides producing
large quantities , of milk, keep the
cow's digestive system in good condi
tion; consequently, some such feed in
winter Is desirable. Patches of rye
or oats near the barn furnish grazing
at, times, but can not be depended
upon to furnish all the cow needs
every day from the appearance of
frost until spring opens.
A constant and dependable supply
of Juicy feed for cows can be obtained
in turnips, rutabagas, or carrots.
These roots can be fed to cows with
out injuring the taste of the milk,
provided they are fed Immediately
after milking.
Since cows require it, end roughage
Is the cheapest feed and one that ev
ery farmer can produce on the farm,
cows should be given all of this mate
rial that they will eat without waste.
Such bays as peavine, vetch, soy bean
and other legumes are the best dry
roughage for feeding, but the grass
hays, shucks, and coarse hays of the
farm are also good. The coarser hays
are eaten more readily if mixed with
the better hay. t ' ;
If a man has ten cows or more the
cheapest form in which' juicy feed can
be furnished for winter feeding is
silage. Silage spoils on exposure to
the air, and with less than that num
ber of cows It can not be fed off rap
idly enough to keep the top layer in
good condition".
' With plenty of roughage and ruta
bagas or turnips the cow will keep in
good condition throughout the winter
and produce a fair flow ot milk, but
she cannot consume enough of these
bulky feeds to furnish all the food ele
ments necessary to produce the larg
est amount of milk, consequently
some very rich feeds which are not
bulky must be added, Such feeds are
bran, cottonseed meal, shorts, and
corn meal. Just what grain or meal
is best to give a cow depends upon
the kind of roughage she gets. Pea
vine, vetch, clover, soy-bean and velvet-bean
hay are among the best milk
producing roughages, since they con
tain the same elements as cottonseed
meal and bran two of the best milk
producing meals but in much smaller
quantities, pound for pound. There
fore If the cow gets plenty of such
hay she will not need much cottonseed
meal and bran. When the cow has
all the pea-vine, soy-bean, clover, or
vetch hay and turnips or rutabagas
that she will eat, a good mixture of
grain or meal to give her is: .. -;
One part wheat bran,
One part cottonseed meal.
Grass hay, shucks, straw, and " the
like contain, comparatively little of the
elements found in ' cottonseed meal,
bran, and such feeds, and when these
roughages are fed, more cottonseed
meal will have to be used to furnish
the elements the cow must have to
produce the largest amount of milk.
If grass hay, shucks, straw and ruta
bagas or turnips form the roughages,
a good mixture of grain to feed is:
- One part wheat bran, ' - '
' Two ptrtB cottonseed meal.
The grain mixture is the most ex
pensive part of the feed, and should
be given to the cow in proportion to
the milk she gives. About one pound
of either of the mixtures mentioned
1 be f-'J for each three promSs
AMOUNT OF ROUGHAGE
t
I
r
ture. More mixture can be added If It
will make the cow give enough more
milk to pay tor the extra feed.
Cottonseed meal is one of the best
milk-producing feeds, but it is very
rich and if fed In too large quantities
may Injure the cow. To avoid this It
is well to mix bran or some light
bulky feed with .it If cottonseed
meal is the only grain or meal fed,
and the roughage contains no gTeen
feed of any kind, about four pounds of
cottonseed meal a day can be fed
without Injury. By feeding turnips or
any other green feed the meal may be
increased to about six pounds a day.
Corn meal is an excellent feed to
mix with cottonseed meal, but usually
It is too expensive to feed profitably.
If corn sells for more than 60 cents a
bushel it probably will not pay to use
it as cow feed.
The use of stock powders and pal
ent stock feeds is a very expensive
and wasteful practice; When a cow
is well she needs no medicine or stim
ulants, and when she is sick she needs
to be treated for the particular aik
ment she has. The lean, rough-haired,
hollow-eyed condition of many cows is
not always due to sickness, but gen
erally to lack of feed or to effects of
ticks. If the cow receives plenty of
pea vine, soy bean, vetch or clover
and the other feeds mentioned in this
circular, she will need no condition
powders ol any Kind, wnen tree irom
ticks and plenty of feed Is given and
she Is not in good condition, then she
requires special treatment by someone
who knows how to treat -such cases,
In addition to good feed, the cow
must have good care In order to make
the greatest profit Exposure to cold
winds and rains' greatly counteracts
the effects of good feeding. Stalls in
which the cows are kept should be
free from large cracks that admit cold
wind in drafts. Ventilation la needed.
3r:

Satisfactory Feeding Trough.
but the air should be admitted through
windows or openings high enough
from the ground to prevent the wind
from blowing on the cows. The stall
must not become wet and miry with
manure or from rain. It should be
kept dry and well bedded with leaves,
straw, sawdust or other available ma
terlal. This will not only keep the
cow clean and make her comfortable,
but will afford a pleasant place to
milk in. The bedding will also add
to the amount ot manure that can be
carried to the fields. ,
The cow is a nervous animal and
should be treated , gently and kindly.
If she steps on the milker's foot or
slashes his face with her tall, or kicks
when her teats are pinched, she
should not be kicked in return; and if
the feed-room door is left open and
she goes in, she should not be beaten
for it , A careful milker rarely suffers
Injury by the cow, and she will re
spond readily to care, patience and
kindness on the part of the milker.
Rough treatment is expensive, for It
reduces the milk flow. -

SATISFIED AS THEY WERE
Couples, Victims of Curate's Mistake,
Decided That They Would Let
the Thing Go. ,
A vicar ot a certain English parish
was sitting in his study one morning
when in burst the verger in a great
state of excitement.
'Mr. ," mentioning the curate's
name, "wants you at once, sir," he, ex
claimed. "He has married two couples
and married the two men to the wrong
women, and he does not know what to
do."
"Have they signed the register?" In
quired the cleryman.
"No," was the verger's response.
"Then they can be married again."
said the vicar. "Tell Mr. I will
be at the church In a minute or two
to perform the ceremony."
In due course the Incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance. Be
fore he could say anything one of the
bridegrooms approached and said:
"We have been talking it over, sir,
and we have made up our minds to re'
main as we are." And they did so.
Good Title.
"Why do you call your play The
Porous Plaster'?"
"Because I want it to draw.
Poor Prospects.
"The baby has its mother's nose."
"Then it is already supplied with a
good trouble scenter."
