SAYS TO VARY COW’S RATIONS

Expert Tells Dairymen That Frequent Change of Food Is Necessary for Best Results. 7 Bozeman, Mont.- —“To have a dairy cow produce her maximum flow of milk* she must have the proper kind, amount- and variety of food,” Prof. G. Lf"7MaTfln told the dairymen who were in attendance at the state college farmers’ week. “When she is at her maximum of production, she has sufficient food to maintain her body and to produce all the milk of which she is capable. “If more food is supplied it goes into surplus flesh and fat. If less food is supplied, milk production falls off, for the amount taken for bodily sustenance cannot be reduced. ‘‘A. carefully balanced and frequently varied ration is therefore necessary with abundance of roughage to fill up the large stomach space.”
