» DAUiY FKEDINO. . Fcvds for milch cow3 for laic win- jter and early spring use has more fchati usual signilicance this year, â- writus Ueorge A. liillinga. This is fi-ui> iiuitc lorgoly to tlic extremely iatj spring and the general scarcity »f tl-,.-,se foods, which because of their aucciik'nt. nature contribute to the maintenu.icf of the How of milk. The cold, wet season of 1903 brought a jpoor return to the i;iriner ot that fcrop which is his main d<>ppndence , namely, corn, and while a representa- itive yield of hay was produced, the quality was more or less impaired by â- jovcrripeness or poor curing, due to jthe season. With an empty silo a know of poor (luality hay und an al- >n(>st empty corn crib it has become a serious question to some dairymen to produce milk giving a fair return for tlieir labor and investment. It is indeed fortunate if at this time one has a good mow of secoiid cutting clover or mi.xed .gras.ses. Corn Bilage is relatively duvap. greatly reli.shed by cattle, and if the corn is allowed to mature in the field the g'reator part of the nutritive value of the crop is preserved. If fed in con- nection with more concentrated pro- itein feeds, such as dried brewers' grains, gluten, oil and cottonseed meals, .eo as to be most economically .balanced, there will be but little fal- sing off of the milk flow. The cost of iJroduction iier quart of milk will be coiiipai'ativel.y reusonable. and a ration of 40 pounds corn silage, four pounds wheat bran, four poimds brew- er's grains .and two pounds cotton- seed u'.eal for a cow weighing from J800 to l.fMIn pounds in good Mow of milk, will bring good returns. I Kxi-)eriments .at the Xew .lerKey ex- periment station demonstrate the .practicability of feeding home .grown protein sucFi as alfalfa or crimson clover hay. with silage, which means â- a gi-eat deal to the fi^eder. V.hen a Iration of 30 pounds corn silage and '13 pounds alfalfa ha.y w.as compared with ;>0 pounds silage, live pounds jmi.xed hay. si.x pounds wheat bran (and five pounds brewer's gr.Ains. the ;Cost of production per 100 pounds ;niilk was reduced from S.'J.O cents to 159.9 cents. With .4 poi.nds crim- son clover hay and 30 pounds silage the cost of production was reduced 18. "i cents per 100 when fed in com- parison with the .same feed ration. A ration of 3B pounds corn silage and 17 pounds covvpea hay. fed in com- iparison with 36 pounds silage, live poimds corn stalks, four pounds wheat bran, three poimds brewer's grains and two pounds cottonstxjd meal gave a slight advantage to the cowpea ration. These â- â- ^xDeriments shov,' the necessity ol more intelligent fei'ding in order to maintain the flow of milk and more economical selec- tion of food nutrients to clieapen the cost of production. The farmer who is fortunate to have in the latter part of winter a good supply of sil- ia.ge with clover ha.v will note a de- |Cided gain in his returns from the dair.v. ; What sli.all wo feed in place of corn silage until earl.v soiling crops can ibe harvested? Wet brewer's grains cwould furnish a s iccul-Mit ration to .a large degree, yet hardly advisable, as jt is almos-t inros.sible to get the material in a Ire.sh condition to be flenenried upon, and which, if sour, would produce an ob.jectionable qual- it.v of milk, but the dried srains have been freel.v used at this station, pro- ducing very satisfactory re«uits. In the absence of silage good results have been obtained by wetting a nuantity of the dry grains a few (lours before feeding, using jusi enough water to make them soft without be- inp sloppy. The brewer's grains will fiunish about the same bulK and weight as the silage, but much richer in pro- tein, reyuiring a strongly carboh.v- irate feott. ."-^uch a ration cnn be balanced as follows: Twelve pounds ha.v, six pounds com and cob meal. live pounds brewer's j^rains, two pounds bran and one pound cotton- K'od meal. „ Wet enough brewer's grains for '21 hours: uu.\ fioo poimds rorn meal, 20O pounds wheat bran and 100 pounds cottonseed ua^af or a smaller amotmt in the same propor- lion and feed about nine pounds of Ihe mixture with the wet grains, rarying the amount to the weight of the cow and the (low oi milk. A new carbohydrate feed containing k-om 7 to 9 i>er c.-nt. protefn called Jried molasses beet pul;>. has recentl.v >eon put iijion the m.nrket. which, iphile being expensive Tor the amount }f protein it contains ma.v po.ssibl.y â-ºe economical for the i)orson who nust purchase carboh.vdrate.s.

This was done in the si.x summer months by a rotation of soiling crops giving each cow (50 pounds per day of a va- riety of green fodders with a small feed nation and in the winter months .30 to 10 pounds corn silage with some ha.v and a more concentrated feed ration. At the prices of feeds and hay in March, 1904, in th? ab- sence of silage, purchasing all of the roughage, it co.st '2'2 cents i>er da.v per head to keep the same herd, or an increase in the cost of production of milk of almost .'30 per cent. li.y feeding alfalfa lia.y with corn silage, giving a value to each the exact co.st of raising and har\'esting according to our own record, that is silage at S2.40 and alfalfa hay (average for three years) at 5(5.36 per ton. the cost per cow per day would be but 8.97 cents. These ligures are signi- licant and well worth consideration. .SPR.\Y1,VG POTATOES. In general, commence spraying when the plants are (i to S inches high, and repeat the treatment at intervals of ten to 14 days in order to keep the plants well covered with bor- deaux throughout the .seas<m. Dur- ing epidemics of blight it may be necessary to ijpra.v as often as once a week. Usually si.x applications will be required. The bordeaux should contain si.x viounds of copper sulphate to each 50 gallons water. Whenever bugs or ilea beetles are plentiful add one iiound i>aris green or two (piarts white arsenic stock so- lution to the i|uantit.v of bordcaiLX required to spray an acre. Thoroughiie.ss of application is to be desired at all times, but is speci- ali.v important when flea beetles are numerous or the weather favora.ble to blight; Using the same quantity of bordeau.x. freipient light applica- tions are likel.v to be more efl'ective than heavier applications made at long intervals. WhVn a horse spray- ei' having but a single no^'zle per row is used, it is better to go over the plants once a week than to make a •double spra.ving once in two weeks. Tho.se who wish to get along with thi-ee .spra.vings should postpone- the first one until there is danger of in- jury from bugs or (lea beetles, and then .spray thoroughly with bordeaux and poison. The other two spra.v- ings slwuld likewi.se be thorough and applied at such times as .to keep the foliage protecti"d as much" ,as possible during the remainder of the season. Very sttisfactory results can be ob- taiiKMl from three thorough sprayings. A single sfiraying is better than n(me. and will usiiall.y be profitable, but more are better. It is unsafe to' postpone spraying until bligilit ap- pears. Kxcept. pi-rhaps, on small ai-eas. it does not pay to apply pois- on alone for bugs. When it is neces- sary to light insects use bordeaux mixture and pt^.ris green together. GRAIN FED CATTLE. During the height of the grass sea- son, it is probably not very iwotUablo to feed grain to steers on (irst-cla.ss pa-stureâ€" particularl.y if that pasture be blue grass. However, as a rule, it will Pay to supply a little grain, par- ticularly if the cattle are followed by- hogs.
