~ IMPROVEMENT OF Records + Cow-testing association enable dairymen to cull DALLAS POST, SARA os § DALLAS, PA.. SR CA SEER re RET SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1929 THE DAIRY HERD Create Friendly Competitive Spirit. Numerous advantages of Daizy- Herd-Improvement association work are listed in a summary of the re- sults of the association’s activities for ‘the year ended July 1, 1928, which 3 {has just been published by the Colo- :rado Agricultural college. records kept by the unprofitable cows, select heifers for ‘the young herd, determine the worth of the bull and intelligently conduct : feeding operations, the report states. ~ C. A. Smith, fieldman for the state dairy commissioner, prepared the summary, which states that the asso- ciation records “create a friendly competitive spirit between dairymen, ‘which tends to raise the production of the herd and makes for more efficient management.” He adds: “Dairy-herd-improvement association records are becoming moire ‘and more necessary to the successful sale of surplus females. The man who ‘is going into the dairy business today ‘wants animals with authentic produc- tion records behind them. The dairy- ‘man who has such records on his cows ‘can command a premium price on his ‘sale stock.” The association work also presents an opportunity for a community to -make a name for itself ag a cenfer for high-class stock of a particular ‘breed. ) The cow testers’ records show that the man who fed a balanced ration ‘according to production had a suc- _culent winter feed, took the chill off ithe water in winter time, supplement- ed pasture with grain had the larg- er return above feed cost. Copies ‘of the report may be obtained from the extension service of the state agricultural college. Let Dairy Cow Market ‘Home-Grown Grain Feed The dairy cow furnishes a better market today for feed than ever be- fore, says H. R. Searles, dairy spe- cialist with the agricultural extension division, University of Minnesota. Mr. Searles has been comparing ‘prices and finds that while the prices of dairy feeds have increased 24 per cent since 1914, butterfat prices have mounted about 70 per cent in the same period. © “In 1914, with butterfat selling at 30 cents a pound, the 300-pound cow returned $90 at a feed cost of $45, or a return over feed cost of $45,” says - Mr. Searles. ‘In 1927, with butterfat at 51 cents a pound, the 300-pound cow returned $153 at a feed cost of about $56, leaving a return over feed cost of $97. This cow, then, in 1927 returned $52 more over feed cost than she dia in 1914. Translated inte terms of return over feed costs, the increase in favor of 1927 has been around 115 per cent. “Tt pays to feed grain to good cows. For the man who has the cows: they are a better market for his feed grain than the elevator. If he is short of grain he can afford to buy it at pres. terfat increases from 100 pounds per cow to 300 pounds, the price received for the roughage the cow eats in- creases from $5.50 per ton to $39 per ton.” Outdoor Exposure Quite Harmful to Dairy Cows Tests at state experiment stations show that a dairy cow drinks about four gailons of water for each gallon of milk she produces. This’ means that a cow giving five gallons of milk a day must have approximately 20 gallons of water. Da:rymen have observed that cows compelled to drink at an unheated out- : door tank in cold weather do not take as much water ss they need. They also consider outdoor exposure harm- "ful to the cows when the winds are cold and the weather stormy. Mem- bers of dairy herd improvement asso- ciations often find that the installa- tion of automatic drinking cups in their barns increases the production | of their cows 9 or 10 per cent. A Minnesota dairyman says that keep- ing a constant supply of fresh water before his cows in drinking cups saved him an hour’s labor a day. He con- siders his investment in drinking cups one of the most profitable he ever made. Ideal Dairy Barn Two requirements of a dairy barn ' wall must be met in order to provide warmth. The wall must be airtight to prevent drafts and it must be built of materials and after a plan which reduces heat loss by radiation to a minimum. Incidentally, when both these requirements for warmth are met the problem of successful and ef- fective ventilation is greatly simpli- fied. Walls constructed for warmth combined with an approved ventilation ~ gystem eliminate frost on: walls. 2 G 2 57 Vy pee ent prices.

The boxes MOLASSES HAS EDGE ON CORN Good Results at Ohio Sta- tion Have Been Obtained. possesses certain distinct advantages over corn, when substituted for that grain in quantities up to 10 per cent of the ration. This has been estab- lished by two years of experimental work by the poultry husbandry de- partment of the Ohio State university. The molasses has replaced corn on a pound-for-pound basis. “It has given equally good results in rations for starting and growing chickens, laying hens and fattening birds,” says Prof. A. R. Winter of the poultry depart- ment, in discussing the results of the tests. In a test with laying hens, those fed on a ration containing 5 per cent of molasses laid 16.93 per cent more egg than a group fed with corn and no molasses. At the same time the mor- tality among them was only 5 per cent as compared to 12.5 per cent among the hens which got no molasses. The test was carried on during the fall and winter months. Growing chicks, at eight weeks of age, weighed 17.7 per cent more when fed a 5 per cent molasses ration, and suffered a mortality of only 7.32 per cent as against 12.39 per cent for the chicks which received corn instead of molasses. When fed 10 per cent molasses the chicks weighed only 16.5 per cent more, but the mortality had been reduced to 4.88 per cent. “The cane molasses carries some vitamine B and furnishes carbohy- drates in easily available form,” says Professor” Winter. “The potassium salts in the product serve as a mild laxative. It is believed that the car- bohydrates create a condition in the intestine unfavorable to the develop: ment of coccidiosis and other harmful bacteria. vestigation at the present time.” Milk Solids Favored for All Kinds of Fowl Skim milk solids are fundamental in the poultry rations recommended by Massachusetts Agricultural college in Extension Leaflet No. 6. Laying mash formula is: 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds middlings, 200 pounds yel- low corn meal, 100 pounds ground oats, 50 pounds meat scrap, 25 pounds “powdered milk,” 25 pounds alfalfa leaf meal, 5 pounds fine salt, 25 ‘pounds steamed bone meal; and the grain formula is 100 pounds each of cracked corn, whole corn, wheat, or barley and oats. In addition the leaf- let recommends: “Feed skim milk whenever available . When all the skim milk the bird will consume is available, meat scrap need not be fed.” For chicks, the laying mash with an additional 25 pounds of dry skim milk is recommended, together with chick grain, : 200 pounds fine cracked corn, and 100 pounds cracked wheat. Milk solids in the laying mash | amount to 4 per cent; in the chick mash to 8 per cent. > Sprouted Oats Needed by the Laying Hens “Sprouted oats for laying hens,” is should be shallow, not over three ar four inches deep. In preparing the oats for sprouting, it should be soaked overnight in a bucket or tub. A few drops of formaldehyde added to the water in which the oats is soaked will prevent mold from developing. Moldy grain is often fatal to poultry. After the oats has been soaked and drained it may be spread out in tbe boxes and kept in a warm room or in a heated sprouting device. few days when. the oats sprouts have attained a length of two or three inches, they will be ready for feeding. Broody Hen Care When several broody bens are sit- ting in coops close against one anoth- er, it may save much potential trou- | ble if each bird is tethered by a long, thin cord from one leg to her nest- box. This will insure that, after her spell off duty, she joins her own nest and not a neighbor’s, as she is oth- erwise liable to do. A hen may set- tle down for a short time on a strange nest, but soon she finds out her mis- take, jumps up, and so allows the eggs to be chilled. Use for Vitamine D Vitamine D, which is found in cod liver oil, is useful in helping to prop- erly assimilate minerals. This vita- mine is furnished by the direct rays of sunshine. During winter months, sunshine does not contain as many of these helpful rays as in summer. When sunshine passes through ordinary glass a great deal of the helpful in- fluence is lost.. These two factors make it possible to utilize cod liver oil to adyantage in winter rations for laying hens. I EE AE FST a M5 Te SHERIFF'S SALES ; —0i— Saturday, April 20, 1929, at 10 A. M.
