Cow.
According to modern standards ot
measurements of a dairy cow, one that
give» 6,000 pounds of milk a year, is
hut an ordinary milker. And yet to
elaborate this amount of milk, this
cow must manufacture not less than
780 pounds of milk solids. The cow
may weigh more than 800 or 900
pounds, and the dry matter of her body
is only the half of this amount, so we
see the cow may manufacture new
material annually amounting to more
than twice that contained in her own
body. To do this wonderful work she
must be in the best of physical con­
dition and must have an abundance
of material containing the elements
she needs.
A lfa lfa
for
Cows.
Where there is an abundant supply
of alfalfa, do not feed the dairy cows
any timothy hay, but let them have
all the alfalfa they can consume with­
out waste. A mixture consisting of
400 pounds of ground corn, 300 pounds
of bran or oats supplements the al­
falfa very well. Seven or eight pounds
of this combination is sufficient to pro­
duce one pound of fat when fed with
all the good alfalfa hay an animal
will consume. If the droppings of
the'animal seem somewhat dry, do not
hesitate to recommend the use of one
pound of oil meal per day.—Farmers
