i ■ — XIV.- Some Points on Stock Feeding I By C V. GREGORY, A^rfcafferaf Iti-OUfon. tetma Stat* Collage 1 Copyright. I BOB. by American Praaa Aaaociation

IN order that the feeds fed to stock may be nsed to the best possible advantage It is necessary that 1 they shonld be of the proper « kinds and fed In the proper amounts. , ' One of the Important things to take ! 1 into account In determining the value ! 1 of a feeding stuff Is Its digestibility. J 1 Some feeds, such ss ost straw, are not ; more than 50 per cent digestible, while 1 la the case of the corn grain OTer 90 1 per cent is used by the animal. Feeds with a high percentage of digestibility. 1 Hke the grains, are called concentrates, ' while those Vlth a large amount of In- 1 digestible crude fiber are called rough 1 feeds. Every animal must have a certain . ' amount of roughage; otherwise the 1 grain would lie in the stomach In a ' heavy, sodden mass, which could hardly be penetrated by the digestive 1 Juices, and Indigestion would be sure 1 to result. The crude fiber, while In- , 1 digestible In I tee If, dilutes the more concentrated feeds and greatly hastens •< the process of digestion. The rami- ' nante are able to obtain a large share 1 of their feed from roughage. Horses ' use considerable, though owing to ' their smaller stomach they cannot use l as large quantities as cattle do. Swine < are usually "regarded as grain eating < animals, yet they, too. do better for 1 having some roughage. Mature hogs 1 will maintain themselves on a good rape or clover pasture without any I grain at all. and fattening swine will 1 make greater gain If fed on pasture. I

FIQ. XXVH— THXKX 18 XO FOOD BETTKL THAN MILE FOB YOUNG ANIMALS. '

In winter, when pasture Is not avails- f ble, bogs will eat considerable amounts of clover or alfalfa hay If they can get It and will be healthier and make ( better gains for having It Another Important quality In a feedstuff Is Its palatabiilty. Stock will make greater gains on feeds that they J like, even though they contain no ( more nutritive material than those that are not so palatable. Closely re- ( lated to palatabiilty is succulence or' ( juciness. Cows give a large flow of ( milk on pasture not so much because of Its high feeding value, but because , of Its succulence and palatabiilty. \ Stock of any kind will not make the , best use of their feed If given notb- , lng but dry bay and grain. ( The most satisfactory means of pro- j riding succulent and palatable feed | during the winter is by the use of the . silo. Silage has a high feeding value | and Is cheap, since from eigbt to , twelve tons can be raised on an acre. J 1 It finds its greatest "use as a feed for < dairy cows, but also makes a profits- j ble addition to the ration of Dearly all classes of stock. The most Important point to consider in preparing a ration Is tbe relative proportion of the different constituents. Fate and carbohydrates are interchangeable and can be considered together, since they both go to furnish beat and energy or to build up animal fat. Neither of these substances, however, can take the place of protein, since neither of them contains nitrogen. To build np the muscles. organs and other parts of tbe body which require this element considerable protein must be fed. The 1 ordinary feeds found on tbe farm contain too little protein In proportion to the other substances. To secure ' the best results a balanced ration— ' that la, one in wbicb the amount of protein is In the proper proportion to ' the amounts of fate and carbohy- ; drates— must be fed. It can readily be seen that what la a c balanced ration for one class of stock ' may not be for another. Young calves, 1 colts and pigs require more protein ' and ash In their food than do mature ' animals A work horse needs large 1 amounts of fat and carbohydrates to 1 supply him with energy, but be also ' needs considerable protein to repair ' bis muscles, which wear out very rapidly. A fattening steer needs only ' a minimum amount of protein, since ' be Is neither growing nor using his I muscles. A milk cow needs a great * deal of protein wnd ash to use In mak- 1 lng_ milk, together with a liberal * amount of the other constituents, to J supply energy and to make late but- * ter fat A pregnant animal is In espe- ' rial need of protein and ash to use in c building np tbe bones and flesb of its 1 offspring. All animals need larger 1 quantities' of the best forming ele- e ments In the winter In order to keep 1 tbe body warm. Another Important point, one that " must not be lost sight of in preparing 1 rations for any class of stock, is tbe 1 eost. It makes no difference hew di * geetibie. palatable or well balanced a t

ration may be nor bow rapM gains It , will produce. If those gains are pat oa at too greet an expense the feeding operations -will result in a lass. For the last two years, for instance, bran and aborts have been bo high In price that 1 is doubtful if they could be fed at ; profit Bran produces a large milk flow when fed to cows, but silage and clover bay are Juxt aa good and coat only a fraction aa much. The question of bow much a former can afford to spend for concentrated is always a perplexing one. Something is needed to balance tbe oorn, wbicb la tbe principal feed on moat farms. If nothing else is fed I with corn it will not be thoroughly digested and much of the nutriment which It contains win be wasted. When corn is cheap this does not matter so mncb, bat when the price goes to 50 or 60 cents a bushel it becomes an Important consideration. This applies not' only to com. but to .other grains as well, since all contain an excess of carbohydrates and fat Oats come tbe nearest to being a balanced ration of any farm grain, but they are usually too expensive to be fed exclusively. Mixing oats with cqrn does not make a balanced ration, since oats have scarcely enough protein to balance their own carbohydrates and fate. Another factor which must be taken Into consideration is the of the animals. This will surely ( suffer Jf they are compelled to live on a single kind of feed, especially one that is aa low in protein aa corn la. When grain is high in price tbe saving effected by tbe purchase of some supplementary feed rich in protein will usually much more than pay the cost In buying feed to balance corn or other grain tbe chief consideration should be tbe amount of digestible protein which It contains. Ash is also Important, especially if it is to be fed with corn, which is low In ash. By dividing tbe price per ton of a feed by the number of pounds of digestible protein in a ton the price per pound of protein Is easily determined. Thus the comparative cost of protein In the different byproducts can be figured out and the one nsed which will furnish It in the cheapest form. For bogs there Is probably no better or cheaper source of protein than tankor meat meal. A ration of one part of this to ten parte of corn is an 1 ideal one for fattening hogs. For growing pigs the amount of tankage should be doubled and some sklmmllk added If it can be obtained. Milk is an almoBt perfect food for all young . stock, and tbe farmer who has a large supply of It has a big port of his feeding problem solved. Another feed that Is Invaluable for young pigs and calves Is dried blood or blood flour. Nothing else will stop so quickly nor do so much toward starting along an unthrifty pig or calf. A heaping teaspoonful to a feed Is enough for a young calf, with proportionate amounts for the pigs. reasoD that these packing bouse are especially valuable for animals Is because of the large amount of ash which they contain. use of such feeds Insures strong and healthy, vigorous animals.

XXVIir-CLOYKB PASTORS IS AM EXCELLENT POOD POR SHKKP.

A lack of ash Is the chief fault that be found with the corn byproducts. such as germ oil meal and gluten feed. For this reason these feeds are not so valuable for milk cows ar.d stock, although they are all right for fattening animals. Oil and cottonseed meals contain more ash than the corn products, but uot so much as tankage. They are usually cheap source of protein. Oil meal Is especially valuable for keeping the system In tone, the bowels loose and tbe coat sleek and glossy. Cottonseed taeal should never be fed to hogs, as they often die from eating It. There is nothing better than cioTer pasture to balance tbe ration of fatswine. Clover pasture, with perhaps a small allowance of grain, la ideal feed for milk cows, calves and colts. Tbe little pigs will learn to eat It also, but will need considerable grain and sklmmllk In addition if are to make rapid gains. Clover and corn is a ration for fattening cattle and sheep that cannot be beatClover bay and silage with a little corn and oilmen! added is' a first class winter feed for dairy cattle. Even fbr horses clover hay, if not dnsty, is the best of roughage. Its use for all classes of stock will reduce tbe cost of feeding and add to tbe profits. So it is evident that tbe wise fanner will not neglect to provide a clover pasture that is ample.
