DOUBLE DUTY A Dairy Ration Haa Two Main U»*»— Life and Product. rv»tlon»l Crop ImproTement Service.] A ration la divided Into two parts: 1. The part needed to maintain o» keep the animal alive. 2. The part needed to make stored up material like wool, fat, meat or milk. Milk is roughly in solids, one-third each casein iprotein), fat and sugar. The casein in milk can only he furnished by the protein in the food. The fat and sugar may be derived from either protein, fat or carbohydrates. If a cow has the ability to give 50 pounds of milk containing two pounds of casein, and only gets enough protein to make one pound of casein, then she will only give 25 pounds of milk. A balanced ration is one that has just the exact amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that the cow needs. Just what thia Is wa cannot ever Bay exactly, because the amounts vary from week to week and no two cows are alike, nor are feeds alike. A practical ration is one that lias sufficient protein and enough total food to make the greatest amount of milk without the cow losing weight. A commercially successful ration is the one that makes the most milk or profit, keeps the cow healthy and enables the use of the most roughage. All the hay and ensilage u cow can eat will keep her alive and make about 15 pounds of milk. Any mors milk has to come from grain or grain feed. The farm can usually raise carbohydrates cheap in the form of hay and ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas, etc., protein can usually be bought cheaper than it can be raised. The average price of protein feeds with 20 per cent digestible protein was about $25 to $35 per ton before the war, but the prices are much higher now, while hay (clover) with 5% per cent digestible protein has been rated at $lO per ton, so the protein feed at S4O would furnish protein about the same as clover at $lO.

DIFFERENT COWS, DIFFERENT FEEDS. [N.tlon.l Crop Improvement Service.] No suggestions that we can offer nor any other formula that can be made can be followed to the letter as a druggist follows the prescription of a physician. Feeds vary In their nutritive values, some being better than the average and some not as good, and cows vary in their ability to digest and transform nutriment. These conditions make it necessary for the feeder to use a good deal of judgment and not follow too blindly the suggestions of others. Any good stack feed is recommended as a base, to be supplemented by home-grown roughage CONCENTRATES FOR RATIONS Taken From an Article by E. S. Savage, Professor of Animal Husbandry, New York College of Agriculture. (National Crop Improvement Sanrioe.] A good rule to follow in all rations is to have at least three plants represented in the ration. There are seven factors which should be considered: (1) Bulk, (2) Digestibility, (S) Relation between the digestible protein and carbohydrates and fat, (4) Variety, (5) Suitability of the feeds to the animal and product, (6) Palatabillty. (7) Cost. | As an example, choosing the cheapest feeds relatively, considering manurial values, sultablUty and all, we would recommend the following mixture of grains as suitable for dairy cows at present prices: SOO pounds distillers dried grains. 400 pounds gluten feed JOO pounde wheat bran or brewers dried grains. , 400 pounds hominy feed. 300 pounds cottonseed or ol! meal. 1

SALT FOR CATTLE. [National Crop Improvement Servlet.) Professor Henry says that a cow requires three-quarters of an ounce per day per 1000 lbs. of weight and six-tenths of an ounce per day per 20 lbs. milk. Therefore, a cow which weighs 1200 lbs. and giyes 30 lbs. milk should have 1.8 ounce salt. It must be remembered, however, that salt is generally included in high-grade dairy feeds: It is well to give cows access to extra salt. They will take what their roughage demands. THE PRICE OF FEED. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Feed is hafidled on a smaller margin than coal, ton for ton. The retail feed dealer who buys in carload lots can sell as cheap as the manufacturer can in less-than-carload lots, the difference in freight rates being the dealer’s gross profit. In nearly every inetance, a group of farmers oan order their feed, through a dealer, in carloads and make a material saving. The difference in freight alone will show a good profit. Take the chill off the drinking watei In cold weather and cows will drink more and produce more. Don’t figure too fine on ration*. Be liberal but don't overfeed. You can kill all of your profit by feeding more than th* cow can xaS'-asikUe [Nation* 1 Crop Improvement Service.] The human element la dairy feed Is Important. Two men may have the tame oqulpment, one make good money, the other fall, while both are supposed to be feeding by the same system and the same tables. H«r»« seflflS is Rood cow Hug

THE BEST DAIRY FEED Made From Grain From Which ths Human Food Values Hava Been Taken. By Prof. F\ D. Fuller. [Xatloiißl Crop ImprovvrriMii Ht-rvic* ] The reason Why the best dairy faeds are less extensive than the saint grains on the farm Is because the principal elements of human food art tuken from thesa grains before they are ever made into feed. The byproducta of cereail mills, glucose factories, malt houses, etc., constitute often more than 50 per cent of tht total bulk of mixed dairy feeds of the better class.

These oats, barley and corn byproducts are oonsidered by experts lu snlmal nutrition as very valuable feed materials After these cereals are ground in the manufacture of alcohol, for which the use is growing more important daily in the arts, the solid residue is dried in vacuo, and is then known as “dried grains.’’ If made from corn, these grains contain on an average of about 30 per cent crude protein and 10 per cent crude fat It made from rye, while valuable, they are of somewhat lower feed value. The barley residue contains over 70 per cent more crude protein than ! wheat bran and twice as much crude fat. In fact, their food value is largely increased by the process. AJI these products are widely used by the best dairy feeders and are relied upon very extensively iu milk production. There is no doubt of the fact that If the supply of these product* were radically limited or entirely exhausted, it would have a serious effect upon the milk production throughout the country and the dairymen would have on# more burden added to their already overtaxed strength. Cottonseed meal is composed principaJly of the kernel, with such por-, tion of the hull aB is necessary in the manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal, If choice, must contain at least 41 per cent crude protein. It is one of the richest of all feeds in this substance and carries about 8 per cent crude ! fat. On account of Us extreme concentration it can be fed only in limited quantities and always in conjunction with some products to furnish bulk. This meal is an important Ingredient in many manufactured feeds.

HOME MIXED FEEDS. [NaUonal Crop Improvement Service.] When a man undertakes to mix his own rations, what does ha do? Ha buys straight feads. Take cottonseed meal as a common example. There are a great many different grades of cottonseed ;neal, and the man who Is looking for a low-priced feed ia sure to get a low grade. The demand for cheap feeding Ingredients has caused the quality to be gradually whittled down. Consequently the farmer nearly always works with feeds which are poorer than he believes them to be. He does not get adequate state protection because inspectors do not go to a farmer’s barn to draw samples, and even if they did, It would be hard to get a complete chain of evidence.

A farmer has no facilities for having his feed analyzed and he doesn't know what he is working with. The analyses of mixed feeds costs about ten cents per ton, and if every farmer will read the various bulletins from the agricultural colleges he will soon know those brands whi«h can be depended upon. There Is no doubt that at the present prices of grain any farmer can save money by selling his cereal crops and buying mixed feed. Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed meal are all high, but the by-producta of barley and rye are all more reasonable in price. Corn has become eoatly largely due to the demand for pork and beef. Americans will have those meats at almost any price. Thiß puts corn on a meat basis, and the dairy business will have to fall back on the by-prod-ucts of grains.

GIVE COWS PLENTY OF WATER. [National Crop Improvement Service*.] When cows are in full milk they require plenty of water. It is stated authoritatively that cows in full flow of milk will consume 80 per cent more water than when dry. Poor feed sells to poor feeder*. Only that part of the feed that digest Is of use—the rest Is mostly fertiliser material. No protein—no casein; no casein—no milk; not enough protein—not so much milk; also not enough feed —not so much food. Foods with the highest protein and highest analysis are usually but not always the cheapest to use. i Cows won’t make milk ont at water and air. [NeUanal Crop !tnp*w<iti*rti Rorvleo.] Starchy feeds like corn end oata often sell as high as protein feeds because of th# demand for themj for bersee and other work animals, fitarehy feeds ate also good to fatten eteers. That la why they ara often as high In price as dairy feeda, which are atrang In pratein. <“rop Impw>vrm«»r iervloe.) Home-grown gralna can often be prof-1 Hably traded for protein feeds. While oata are generally demanded for horse feed, they are nearly always too expansive for dairy feed. Oats by-prod-ucts, however, are very useful £cr |

“THE HIGH FLYER” Editorials Depict Soldiering as Disagreeable But Necessary. “Y” WORK ABROAD Greatest Asset toFighting Morale of Men, Says Ft. W’ayne Soldier. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 15 —A private from Ft. Wayne, now in France, recently sent home a copy of “The High Flyer” which is published in the aviation camp at Avord, France, by the American y. M. C. A. The paper, as it sets out, is published in the interest of the flyers who are training at Avord. to “give news gossipy, inspiration and good cheer,” The spirit of our American soldiers Over There is shown in an editorial in The High Flyer. "The life is hard, maybe,” acknowledges the editorial. ’’There are bedbugs, to be specific and unpoetical,

hours are long, beds are hard, we don’t eat at the Waldorf-Astoria House ! But remember France has been through three long years of war. She ' can’t do things up brown for us any more than for her own. Then, ’cest la guerre,’ we must stand it, suffer a lot. j Ahead are the glorious days of peace, | world democracy. Cheer up. Smile, you’re doing your bit.” The Fort Wayne soldier says: “The ,Y. M. C. A. stands for three things, primarily to provide nourishment to the mind, body and spirit of every man. The “Y” secretary is a brother, sister, sweetheart, mother and father to us. The building over which he pre sides is a church, club room and theatre. It Is a place where a fellow likeß to go when feeling blue, a good place to be on Sunday, a good place in the long winter evenings. The campaign to raise $35,000,000 for this “Y” work at home and abroad, of which Indiana must raise $1,000,000 opened Monday. That the Hoosler state will oversubscribe is not unlikely. The money is to be raised by Sunday next. In the “Y" huts, or at the fightingline, In the dugouts, the soldiers write their letters home on stationery furnished free. One order of letter caper for the camps came to $79,000. Already $5,000,000 has been use 1 In carrying on the work. Five hundred huts for American troops have been built and equipped—warm, cheerful centers of friendliness and moral force Similar work maintained by the British Y. M. C. A. has won the commendation of the British ami French commanders. Sir Douglas Haig and General Retain: and the the American work has been highly praised by General Pershing as a great help to the morale of the army. The raising of this $35,000,000 by | November 19 will be a great task; it | will involve sacrifice, entail self-denial But how Insignificant that is compared with the groat good that Is being, done! The present is a time of sacrifice. | Those who can't go over to hnrl bullets at the bitter enemy, can at least burl their doUars Into the fray. Indiana must do her part and raise 000,000 as her shara of the fund. Os < course it wilJ be don*. j ]
