FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
Prof. Eckles of the Missouri Agricultural College has this to say about feeding dairy cows: — 1. Fefed all the roughness they will eat up clean at all times 2. Peed n e pound of grain per day far each pound butter Eat produced per week, or one pound of grain daily for each three - poundsso'f milK.
3. Peed all the cows will take without gaining m weight. The rule regarding the amount of grain to feed per day for each cow applies best when based upon the amount of buttertat produced per week, as thia it applicable to any breed. The second part of the rule, in regard to feeding onn pound of grain for three pounds of milk, would not work out in all cases, since in heavv milking Holstein cow this gives a little too large a quantity of grain, and with a Jersey giving very rich milk it is a little too low. It apnlies best to cows producing milk of about avsrage composition.
