ECONOMICAL FEED FOR COWS and those fed more than thy can di gest and tarn to a profit, are both losing money for their owners. It ts somewhere between these extremes that the successful dairyman mast set Ms standard It rs his hoslneee to And nut and no dairy authority on earth can Inform htm Intelligently. It ts one of the many lessons we mast work out . by associating with oar stock. FEEDING POTATOES TO COWS No Profit Expected. The dairy cow cannot be expected to make large profits from Improper care and Improper feed. Millet la Fair Hay. MUM Is only a fair hay for dairy cows Stimulating Flow of Milk. Ordinary rare will not stimulate a lar-e flow of milk Home Grown Foods, aa Rule, Should ' Form Main Reliance of Dairy man -Some Good Leaaona. (By M. K. WOODWORTH.) Economical feeding of a dairy herd Is a subject which cannot be fully explained In a short paper, but there are a few points which I might men tion which would causa the reader to farther lnTestlgate for himself. If I could say something that would cause dairymen to look Into the mat ter, my best hopes would be realised, for It is easy for a man to be shown after he la willing to tatrn. As a rnlo home-grown foods should form tbs main reliance, but com mercial feeds and purchased grains will necessarily occupy a more or less prominent plaoe In dairy rations for years to come. How much of these feeds we can use at a profit depends upon their cost and the quality of the cows we are feeding. Generally peaking, the man who Is producing the city milk can afford to feed more grain than the man who Is producing products that can be held over In storage for longer periods of time. Viewed from another stand potiaU Value of Tubers for Milk Production Depends Upon What Other Kinds of Feeds Are Given. Tin value of potatoes fo" milk pro duction depends to a conside'ahle ex tent, upon what kind of feed they are fed In connection with. With clover or alfalfa hay, potatoes wowM hare ereater value than if fed with wild or timothy hay or corn fodder. This la true because potatoes are rich In starch, or what is known ns carbo hydrates In feeding terms, and low In protein. Clover and alfalfa are rich In protein, while the other feeds men tioned are low in protein, rutting two 1( 1) together that ore loth low In prot' :n !oo not hi in as good result? as w he?) they . n re (omliiur 1 m tlutt the fnd In ' ;" " ho '1 with ' feel "nighin protein. T5y iourttnlng potatoes with some feed high in pro tein, they could be made to equal about one-fourth the feed value of oats (ground) for dairy cows; that la, pound for pound. ComMucd with ordinary fr.rm grown feeds. iotatoes would hardly have this value for milk production in comparlHon with ground oats. According to this estimate, po tatoes would be worth only 15 cents a bushel or lens when oats are worth "2 certs a bushel. Potatoes have a somewhat higher value for meat production than for the production of milk and ore more valuable for pigs or for . felt' nine cattle than for milch cows.
