animals, yet they, too, do better for

lated to palatabllity Is succulence or

milk on pasture not so much because
of its high feeding value, but because
of Its succulence and palatabllity
Stock of any kind will not make the

Ing but dry bay and grain.
The most satisfactory means of pro
viding succulent and palatable feed
during the winter Is by the use of the
silo. Silage has a high feeding value
and is cheap, since from eight to
twelve tons can be raised on an acre,
It finds its greatest use as a feed for
dairy cows, but also makes a profita
ble addition to the ration of nearly
all classes of stock.
The most important point to consid
er In preparing a ration Is the rela
tive proportion of the different con
stituents. Fats and carbohydrates
are interchangeable and can be con
sidered together, since they both go
to furnish heat and energy or to build
up animal fat. Neither of these sub
stances, however, can take the place
of protein, since neither of them con
tains nitrogen. To build up the mus
cles, organs and other parts of the
body which require this element con
siderable protein must be fed. The
ordinary feeds found on the farm
contain too little protein in proportion
to the other substances. To secure
the best results a balanced ration
that Is, one in which the amount of
protein is In the proper proportion to
the amounts of fats and carbohy
dratesmust be fed.
fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn
loea not mnke a balanced ration, since
lihe onts have scarcely enough protein
to balance their own carbohydrates
ind fats. Another factor which must
be taken into consideration I the
health of the animals. This wtll surely
nuffer lf they are compelled to live
long on a single kind of feed, especial
ly one that Is as low In protein as corn
Is.
: When grain is high In price the sav
ing effected by the purchase of some
upplementary feed rich In protein
will usually much more than pny the
?ost. In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain the chief consideration
bould be the amount 'of digestible
protelu which lt contains. Ash Is also
Important, especially If It Is to be fed
with corn, which Is low lu ash. By
llvldlng. the price per ton of a feed by
the number of pounds of digestible
protein In a ton the price per pound
jf protein Is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost of protein in the
ilfferent byproducts can be figured
sut and the one used which will fur
nish It in the cheapest form.
For hogs there Is probably no better
jr cheaper source of protein than tank
igc or meat meal. A ration of one
part of this to ten parts of corn is an
Ideal one for fattening bogs. For

Another feed that Is invaluable for
roung pigs, and calves Is dried blood
or blood flour. Nothing else will stop
scours so quickly nor do so much to
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. A heaping teaspoonful to a
feed is enough for a young calf, with
proportionate amounts for the pigs.
The reason that these packing ..bouse
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals is because of the large
amount of ash which they contain.
The use of such feeds Insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals.
