NEW RULES FOR FEEDING GRAIN ID MILK COWS ISSUED BY SPECIALIST It has been a very common practice with a good many dairymen to feed grain to milk cows according to some rule based on the production of the animals. The most common rule has been to feed one pound of grain a day for every three or four pounds of milk prcduced by the cow, or to feed as many pounds as the cow produces of butterfat a week, rules possess a great deal of value as a guide to feeding, the experienced dairyman well knows that neither rule can be followed, nor is either the most economical at all times, obvious that the kind, amount, and quality of the roughage fed plays a large part in the production of the cow. While these It is On Roughage Alone Experiments conducted by Fraser, of the Illinois station show that with a liberal allowance of choice al falfa hay and com silage a fairly good milk flow may be obtained in winter without the use of grain. In theso experiments with Holstein cows, during a six-year period, he obtained an average yearly production of 7,029 pounds of milk a cow, or about 20 pounds a day, on roughage alone. This conforms very largely to the records obtained from the Laka County (Montana) Cow Testing as sociation, where a number of farms fed roughage only. It is apparent that good, suitable roughage, liberally fed, contains suf ficient nutrient to maintain a cow and produce 20 pounds of 3.5 to 4 per cent milk. Cows thus fed would, of course, produce a great deal move than 20 pounds when fresh, but would lose in flesh until the production dropped below 20 pounds, when they would again begin to gain in flesh, their production throughout, however, being high enough to average pounds a day, including the dry period. Grain Feeding Rules From these observations a new set of grain feeding rules has been for irulated, based on the fact that good roughage, liberally fed, will maintain 20 a cow and furnish enough nutrient to produce an average of 20 pounds of mu* ly m the larger breeds. There fore, the amount of cram recommend ed is only that which is required to prrdm-c milk m excess of 20 pounds, j The rules are as follows: | 1. For larjre breeds producing 3.? ; to. 4 per cent milk, feed 1 pound of ; grain for each 2.5 pounds of milk pro- j duced above 20 pounds per day 2 For the smaller breeds produc mg 5 to 5.5 per cent milk, feed 1 pound of grain for each 2 poundsef milk produced above 12 pounds per .. ihese new rales on feeding, like all other rules, must be combined with the exercise of a great deal of goed common sense, if the best results are to be obtained. However, these rules aro a good guide, and under Montana conditions, where good alfalfa hay is available, they are undoubtedly more economical than are the older rules. I THICK SNOW MANTLE COVERS MONTANA (Continued from page One) damaged by frost and present freez ing weather is threatening seriously the crop that is still undug. Harvest of sugar beets, unless soils freeze up, will be completed within the next two weeks. Labor was gen erally sufficient for this work in the Billings district, but difficulties were encountered in the northern beet dis tricts. In the latter area, Phillips county reported rapid progress during the week just ended although a con siderable acreage was still undug at that time. Much Hay Spoiled In the case of hay, last cuttings of alfalfa and some wild hay have laid out in seme higher valleys since the latter part of September and have spoiled to a considerable extent. As affecting the total hay crop, however, this loss will be light. In the bean producing counties no wet weather damage was reported un til last week when some spoiling of unthreshed beans was observed. The cr p fortunately matured early this season and was largely threshed ahead of the wet spell. Similarly in the case of peas, the total damage will be light, Gallatin reporting about 85 per cent threshed ahead of the wet speH. Beans and peas still unthreshed will be hardly worth harvest with continued bad weather. Minor damage resulting from the unfavorable weather has Deen that of frost to seed com and wet weather damage to alfalfa shed in the Milk ZI v.. district. Conditions of country roads became bad early in the month, interfering with farm hauling. SUIT IS DISMISSED. At the instance of counsel for the plaintiff, the suit of Emil Boldt against Phyllis M.
