Good Pasture Helps Out
Cost of Producing Milk
Lower prices for dairy products now
prevailing makes It all the more nec»
essary to reduce the cost of produc
tion.
Feed cost In most cases Is the big
gest single factor Influencing cost of
milk production, and one problem be
fore the dairyman at this season of
the year Is how best to keep his cows
producing heavily throughout the sum
mer months at the lowest cost
A pasture which Is both luxuriant in
growth and also of value during the
late summer and early fall months Is
the logical solution of this problem.
Good pasture during the spring,
summer and’ fall months prevents the
necessity of feeding hay In the lot. and
the hauling of that hay. It eliminates
the problem of hauling manure at a
time of the year when most dairymen
are busiest and It provides, with th«
addition of a small grain ration, a suc
culent balanced food resulting in
heavy production nt a very low cost.
Pasture mixture*, such as are sug
gested by the Colorado state dairy
commissioner, based on his 14 years of
experimental work will, when perma
nently established, cut down the cost
of summer feeding and labor expense,
and keep the cows producing well dur
ing the hot months.
A letter asking for this Information
may save many a dollar otherwise
spent for feed.— H. R. Lascelfes. Field
man, State Dairy Commissioner.

all breed associations as reliahle and
