Edgar I. Olsen. In the Leal-Wimbledon Testing As sociation. judging frpm the data on hand, fall cows will here as elsewhere prove by far the most profitable. Why they are the most profitable 1b easily understood when one considers the following reasons: Cows that freshen in the fall, by careful feeding give a good flow of milk all winter and when turned on May, June and July pastures will come up again in their milk flow and will dry up, as usual, in late summer when flys are bad and pastures short. -The cow that freshens 4n -early. Wrlrig Or winter months %nr%iTk^W^l until fly time and when pastures are short will then drop down, often pro ducing milk about six months. Its almost impossible to get a cow's flow back, unless succulent feeds such as silage and roots are available, and will then continue to be a stripper for a month or two, when a person will get discouraged and stop milking let ting the cow stand dry four months of the year. One cow freshinging- between Sept. 15th and Oct. 15th will milk at least two months longer as it is hardly prob able that a cow will dry up when on our succulent June pastures. Then too, with the fall cow, your labor Is much cheaper as help In the winter Is plenty, is cheaper and easier to get than during harvest and threshing. Calves born in the fall are stall fed during winter months and turned out on pasture in the spring requiring not nearly the care. The price of butter fat is much high er during the fall and winter months. In April butter fat was 35c per pound, May 27c, June 25c, July 25c, Aug. 26c, Sept. 32c, Nov. 34c. This will amount to in the neighborhood of 20 per cent more for the winter months. In the Albert Lea, Minn., Testing association the record of 179 fall cows is per cow: Milk 5716 pounds butter fat 225 pounds. 155 spring cows: milk 4575 pounds butter fat 184 pounds, a difference in butter fat of 41 pounds in favor of the fall cows. This, if even, at the saem price will realise (13.94 more profit for the fall cow or considering too an increase of 20 per cent in price received for butter fat the difference will be 916.73. A return of 10 per cent on $167.30. In the face of these figures, winter feeding becomes a very Important fac tor in successful dairying. Milk is a balanced rations.

She requires so much protein, so much carbohydrate so much fat, these are the constitu-. ents of all feeds though found in dif ferent proportions, if your feed is lacking in protein, and all our farm feeds, with the exception of clover or alfalfa are, the milk flow of the cow will shrink to just what her protein al lowance is. The excess of carbohy drate and fat is not made use of. Thinking, that giving heT more feed especially corn stalks will increase the flow is wrong because corn stalks and com is very lowlnprotein. In the opinion of the writer the fifue of succulent than any of our other feeds. Where we haven't alfalfa or clover hay we should if possible feed cotton seed meal or oil meal with our oats, about two pounds of the meal per cow per day. Good results can be gained by feed ing a ration consisting of 15 pounds millet hay and 8 pounds of ground oats, and some corn stalks. Where our roughages are low in protein the feeding of fairly large quantities of grain is necessary as the grain is higher in protein then or common roughages. It never pays to underfeed a milk cow, though care Bhould also be taken with our ordinary cows £hat they aTe not fed beyond their capacity. A cow requires so much feed for maintenance and this she must have before she can produce milk. A good cow will produce milk from the reserve supply of food in the farm of fat in the body but there is a limit to this, and when that limit is reached the milk flow will stop. For maintenance a thousand pounds cow requires: Protein, .7 pound car* bohydrate, 8 pounds fat, .1 pound. For maintenance and 22 pounds of average milk: Protein 2.25 carbohy drate, 13. pounds fat .5 pound. The following ration will meet the requirements of a cow of above capa city: 15 pounds millet hay will give 1.33 pounds protein 6.7 pounds carbohy drate and .5 fat. 10 pounds oats will give .92 pounds protein, 4.73 pounds 2.25 pounds protein H.43 pounds car bohydrate .74 peunds fat. This ration is practically balanced as fat and the carbohydrate materials are interchangable. Now taking 15 pounds of fodder corn we have the following: Fodder corn, 15 pounds—Protein .37, carbohydrate 5.19 tat, .18. 10 pounds oats— Protein, .92 carbohydrate, 4.7S ,J ,' .V 'BV Drtss goods, yard from Silks from Umbrellas from Hair Ornaments from Auto Scarfs Veils from Fancy Leather Goods from Fancy Work Fancy Baskets Ivory Novelties from ...-..

Total—'Protein, 1.29 carbo hydrate, 9.92 fat, .60. This is far too low in protein, and, as has been mentioned the milk flow is regulated by all the constituents of feeds according to their proportion in the feed therefore while we have in a ration of this kind plnty of tat and carbohydrate the milk flow will not be maintained because our protein is too low, and without the protein the carbohydrate and fatty material is not made use of for milk production. The showing of these rations is not to have the farmer adopt them but to 'show that millet is a better feed than corn fodder, because of the higher per cent of protein. Under general conditions, feed protein feeds as much as possible. Feed hay in propotlon of 1 1-2 pound to every 100 pounds of animal weight and one pound of grain for every three pounds of milk pro duced. Cows producing under fifteen pounds of milk daily will not require grain unless the milk tests very high. To show that we are sometimes feeding too little we take the follow Wg fktfn the retlSrife £f tli'e Leal-Wim bledon Testing association: Cow No. 3, Herd 17, freshened on Oct. 15th, she produced daily up to Nov. 1st 28 lbs. of milk. She was thought to have more capacity and the feed was in creased 1 1-2 pounds of ground oats This cow at once increased her milk flow to 32.8 pounds per d»y and main tained this for all of November. The extra cost of feed amounted to 45 cents, the increase in butter fat was 5.62 pounds worth 34c a pound,amount ing to $1.91, leaving a net profit of $1.46. Another cow in the same herd was also fed. the same but her increase was only 2.1 pounds of milk per day, amounting to 77 cents of butter fat for the month a net profit of 32c. This cow had about reached her capacity while the other, might respond with even a greater flow if more feed would be fed. What a cow's capacity is, can, fairly well be ascertained by considering her milk flow three days after freshen ing: The most Important and cheapest feed for a milk cow is water don't expect to get two pails of milk if your cows receive only 1 1-2 pails of water. Water at least twice a day and if possible give water that is not too cold. Water directly from the well is alright Remember that the averagecar of feed grain is worth $250, a car of but ter $5,000. Convert your feed to but ter and save the freight on 19 cars. Garretson, N.' D., Dec. 9. Mrs. John 0. Olhus, started upstairs in her home on the farm of her father, S. J.

The second alarm which brought out the lire department yesterday at about 2:30 in the afternoon, proved not be be a false alarm and had not the firemen acted promptly, would undoubtedly have done a great deal of damage. The lire was located In 0. A. Barton's barn and the cause Is unknown. The chief damage was to grain and chicken feed which was stored although there was more damage from water than Are. The blaze started in the upper etory of the barn in some straw and was easily extinguished when the fire fighters arrived on the the scene. The automobile which was also kept in the barn was taken out and was not dam* aged. The T. P. of the Baptist church will have their monthly social meeting on Thursday evening of this week in the church parlor. A good program is selured. Refreshments will be served. Everybody is cordially Invited.
