Tho character of tho farm, loca tion, productlvo capacity, coat Of labor, climatic conditions, market value, by-product now so extensive ly used a eattlo food, all hsve n tnodlflod Infltionco upon tho selection of fcoda and their combination for thn most economic foodliiR. Whero I ml tint corn thrive lux uriantly, or In pioneer settlement, whero wild liny I abundant nnd client), a combination hnvliiR n wide ratio, say 1 to 10 .might bo an economical ration, whllo lu tho ab sence of Indian corn, but with alfalfa or red clover abundant and cheap, a narrow ratio I to u mlRht bo tho beat. 1 have, however, visited many of tho successful and unsuccessful dnlrle from tho Atlantic to tho Pacific And from Minnesota to Texas, discussing foedlnR problems, Invosll Ratlns; local condition, markot value of food-stuff, productlvo capacity of the farm, composition and cost of ration tiolnR fed, and amount of product- I have ttovor found a dairy man feeding a ration narrower than 1 to 5 that could not have mndo a more economical combination by changlnp to 1-fi-S or 1 to 0, Such narrow rations are, however, raro, and 1 havo found thorn ouly In tho alfalfa district, Tho most cdmmon error Is to mnko a wldo ration somotlmo running a far as 1 to 15. Tho Instances are very raro, however, whero tho price of food stuffs or local condition nro sucli its to make a ration wldor than 1 to 8 an economical ration for cow rIvIiir a good Mow of milk. Ouo other observation Hint I think worth callliiR uttentlon to la that other things being equal, tho greater tho variety in tho ration tho bettor It la relished and iiHslmllated by tlio milmnl, 1 might go farther mid any that when there la n dirforonco of ovon 20 por cont In tho cost of grains of tho amuo nutritive ratio It will jiny to mix t'lem ruthor than food all of u kind. If tho feed la nil to bo grown on tho farm, then crop should bo so nrrangod as to furnish n variety of thoso kind nml In auch quantities ns to provido as hourly aa posslhlo a. balanced rntlon. Kxcopt In rare Instancoa It has boon found more convenient mid profitable to pur chaeo u portion, nt loaat, of tho grain ration. In MlnnoHotn, bran, shorts, ollrnoal, glutonniohl, ono or all of thorn, aro found prolltnhlo nnd economical additions for mixing with tho farm-grown grains, both by add ing to tho variety and balancing tho ratio, -- Aa tho coarso fodders, cereal grain and grasses usually Rrown lira comparatively poor In protein, tho clover mid pons aro tho readiest nml most economical source of homo- grown protein. Wheat and oat, when grown together, furnish n good liomo-growii grain that when ground nnd mixed with koiiio of tho inoro nitrogenous products, nn gliitonmonl, olliuenl or cottousoodinonl, 20 per cent Rlutoniiioal, 80 per cent wheat nnd oat chop, will give n nutritive ratio of 1 to 7 lu tho Rraln, with one third of tho foruRo clover, or pen mid oat hay, the ration will bo fairly bal anced, will furnish variety mid may bo largely homo Rrown. Tliu silo Is continually growing In favor, It aids In securing n cheap, palatable, succulent food. Corn I thn forage most commonly used, but a It I poor lu protein It may bo most economically fed In connection with clovor hay mid a grain ration containing 30 por cont or more of tho concentrated feeds that aro rich In protolu. If corn ensllago form one-half or mora of tho forage ration, then tho grain ration should be com bined so as to have ft ratio of nltout 1 to K, Tho average cow, howover, will hardly handle profitably inoro than one or two pound tier day of cottonseed, gluten or llnseod meal. The by-product of tho flour mills- bran, shorts, middlings nro the most economical sources of supply for thn major orllon of tho Rraln ration for tho northwestern dairy man. Bomo of tho dairymen havo tnndo tho mistake elf accepting feeding staiidards and suRgnstod combina tion a prescription to bo token ac cording lo direction. Buch feeders often meet with disappointment and charge their failure to errors of tho chemist or oxporlmcntor who formu lated tho standard ration. Bo fur as standard rations nnd nutritive ratio aro Riven for pur poses of practical and economical feeding of farm animal, they nro suggestive and general, Indicating n general direction that If modified to conditions, environment nnd temper of the nnlnial, may prove a valuable aid in Increasing tho product, I onsen tho cost of production nnd avoid un necessary waste. Tho Oormun feeding standards hnvo been accountod approximately correct, but to bo modified by vary ing conditions. The American ex periments, conducted with tho great est caro but under varying condi tions, Indicate that tho Gorman standards aro a safo basis from which to formulate a ruto of practice. These glvo a necessary fOr a maturo ani mal weighing 1,000 ound 18 IKiunds of dry matter containing 8.8 pounds of digestible organic matter of which seven-tenths of a pound shall lie protein, one-tenth of a pound fat and 8 pounds of carbohy drate, or other extract, ns It. Is com; tnonly called In tho bullotlns. For nillkproductlon tho German tables add to tho necessary maintenance rntlon for each ound of milk: Pro Join, .08; carbohydrate 0.18; fat, 0.01. Two experiments, extending ovor a porlod of ICt- days, conducted by Prof. T. !. Haeckor at tho Minnesota hxporlmont Station, lu which tho feed given 12 cows wis weighed, a careful record kept of food consumed and milk produced tho result was, after providing the Standard Main tenco Untlon: Protein, 0.06; car bohydrate, 0.23; fat, 0.017, for each pound of milk produced. As tho conditions under which tho experi ment was conducted were like thoso found In well managed dairies In tliu northwest, nnd tho feed used wore thoso nvnllablo here. I prefer to ii so Prof, tlaeokor's figure rather than tho German tablo, aa 1 hnvo al ways hold that tho feeding of a wider ration than that provided by tho Gnrman standard was Imth pract'eal id economical In Minnesota. Starting from this basis, wo find no conflict between tho practical re sults In tho dairy and the theory of the laltoratory, that as tho quantity of milk Increase tho character of tho ration should bo varied from a main tenanco ratio of 1 to 11 to a ratio of 1 to 5 for n cow giving 40 pounds or mux. Another recognlxcd and acccptod fact Is, that while a maintenance ra tion may Imi lu a largo part, or oven onttroly, composed of dry forago, as hay, corn fodder, mid straw, for oven a moderate milk ration one-third, at least, of tho dlgostlblo nutrlmont should ho in somo form of grain whllo with extra largo milkers It la found economical to furnish two thirds of tho nutrition n tho grain ration. In general practice it I qulto common to find a forago ration of clovor, alfalfa or poa and oat hay, romblned with timothy or other grasses, sorghum or corn foddor, that Just about equals tho maintenance ration, with n ratio of 1 to 10 or 11. All tho milmnls In tho herd nro fod approximately tho satno amount of forage, with n combination grain ra tion of which bran and shorts form from 40 to 00 por cont or tho whole, mlxod on tho basis of 1 to S, this mixed grain being fed tho cows at.1 grain for onch two and one-half pOUIUIH Ul IIIIIK. Always boar In mind that nny form or kind of ration will secure the best results when modified In harmony with tho tastes, habits and tompor of the animal to bo fod, tho cost of food, tho labor Involved, mid tho prlco of tho product.
