When poor. rougllage is fed to dairy cows mineral supplements are shown to be necessary in a recent publication of the Wisconsin experi- ment station. Three cows fed on tim othy hay, corn silage and a grain mixture were poor producers of milk. In addition they were slow to breed than three cows. fed on alfalfa hay. Another test on minerals showed exposure to sunlight were unable to maintain a calcium balance in their bodies even though the ration was otherwise adequate. When the cows were exposed to sunlight for six hours daily they decreased the loss of cal- cium from their bodies by 25 per cent. In a comparison of soy bean hay versus alfalfa hay the cows produced approximately the same amount of butterfat and milk but the cows on soy bean hay gained only half as much body weight and wasted morc of their hay. The results of this test. which does not check with tests run at some other stations, shows that soy bean hay was calculated to be worth 73 per cent as much as alfalfa hay. In this connection it jis interesting to note some experiments that were conducted in chopping alfalfa and soy bean hay. No advanfage was noted in chopping alfalfa, but the cows wasted less of the soy bean nay. This caused the chopping to improve the value of soy bean hay by 23 per cent. These figures indicate that ir may prove profitable to chop soy bean when used for feeding dairy cattle. Modern Dairy Barn Must Have Good Ventilation It must not be forgotten that each cow in the stable actually gives -off from* her breath alone about ten pounds of carbondioxide per day and over two gallons of water. Ience, it is perfectly obvious that in the modern dairy stable there must be some sys- tem whereby this used, moist, foul air may be regularly taken out of the stable and replaced by fresh air. Dur- in Ite winter months, the occasional opening of doors and windows wil help but how often is this done during winter months, and needless to say it is never done during the night. | King and other authorities on stable | ventilation have estimated that there | should be a continual air flow through the stable at the rate of about 3,600 | cubic feet per cow per hour. In other words, in a cow stable 36 feet by 50 feet with an 8-foot ceiling, there should | be a sufficient flow of air so that one- quarter of the air would be replaced every hour or that the air be com- pletely changed in the stable six times | per day. If this were done by the | opening of doors and windows, the re- | sulting changes of temperatures, chills to the animals, ete., would obviously | be courting disaster. Hence, a regular | [ | system whereby such a change of air | will go on continuously and still allow the maintenance of uniform heat con- | ditions, should be the ambition of ev- | ery one installing a ventiliiion sys- | tem. —————————————— | Well Bred Calves Most Valuable Dairy Asset | Calves from low producing stock are | worth little more than their value for | veal, but those from high producing | strains must be assigned much greater | valuation, as they command excellent | prices as breeding stock. In the keeping of high producing animals there are, of course, added expenses such as increased deprecia- tion and risk, increased labor in caring for the animals, and expenses of ad- vertising and selling; but it will gen- erally be found that the value of the calves produced from such stock! will more than offset the added expense of raising’ them over and above that in- volved in the keeping of common stock Cold Hampers Cow A high producing dairy cow cannot continue normal production if she is exposed to sevei: weather. It is, there- fore, important if good yields are ex- pected to hold up through the cold | months, that all discomforts be elim- | inated. A comfortable cow will more than repay for added labor for her protection. Milk is 87 per cent water. | and a large part of this gets into the | animal's system from the water trough. | Quarters for Cows In addition to proper feeding, dairy cows will need good quarters if they | are to produce maximum returns for their owners. Dairy cows do not have | long ‘hair or surplus fat to protect | them from cold weather. They are | more Sensitive to cold winds, drafts and poor quarters than any other | kind of farm live stock, unless it is the poultry. Warmth, comfort, venti- lation and sanitation should receive | consideration in fixing "up the dairy | barns or sheds for the winter months. | Bit mit tit (Fo KUN KLE Mrs. Harry oll, of Evans Falls, vis- ited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wheel- er Herdman on Friday last. * * * Mrs. Joseph Shoemaker has been quite ill this week with the prevail ing la grippe. * * 8 Mrs. Kiler Richards spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Updyke. * * * Mr. and Mrs. William Brace and children and Mrs. C.
