Feed dairy cows grain in order
to get them in good flesh before
calving. Usually 4 to 6 pounds of
grain daily will be sufficient for
heifers calving for tho> first time
and 8 to 12 pounds daily for older
cows.
A 6-pound hen laying 144 eggs in
a year produces about 3 times her
own body weight. For such hard
work a hen must be vigorous and
in the best of health.
Pedigree and appearance are not
always safe guides in selecting a
dairy bull. The only sure way is
to choose a bull that has already
demonstrated hiq ability to trans
mit high production. A bull whose
dam and granddams are high pro
ducers and whose first five daught
ers excel high-producing dams is
almost certain to continue to pro
duce such daughters.
