HOME GROWN FEEDS. What Will Prove the Most Economical in Feeding the Cow. The most economical feeds that I hae b.en able to find for feeding dairy cows include corn. rye. peas, bran, clover hay and corn stover, writes a farmer In Farm and Home. The quantity will depend upon the size of the cow and should vary according to the amount of milk produced. For the average cow, weighing around 1,000 pounds, and giving from two and one-half to three gallons milk per day, .1 And the following to be about the right amount for a dairy ration: Four pounds corn.

three-fourths pound bran. 10-15 pound cow peas, 5-10 pound clover hay and all the corn stover that they will oat. Whcnver I do not have the cow peas, I increase the amount of clover and add one to one and one half pounds cottonseed meal. I think cow peas one of the best

and most economical feeds for dairy cowa that we have. The cows like then better than any other dry feed, and they are rich in protein. I always try to raise enough peas to feed my cows a small amount during the winter. The only feeds I buy are bran and cottonseed meal. My cows are fed in stalls and mangers similar to the Board's dairy stall, which is very satisfactory. In feeding. I think it best to be regular both as to quantity and time of feeding. Any increase or lessening of feed should be done gradually.
