The crude liber , while In digestible In Itself , dilutes the more concentrated feeds and greatly hastens the process of digestion. The rumi nants are able to obtain a largo share of their food from roughage. Horses liso considerable , though owing to their smaller stomncfj tlfey cannot use ns Inrge quantities as cattle do. Swipe are usually regarded as grain eating animals , yet they , too , do better for having some roughage. Mature hogs wfll maintain themselves on n good rnpo or clover pasture without any l rnln at all , and fattening swine will make greater gain If fed on pasture. Vltl. XXVII TJIEHK 18 NO 1'OOD 1)KTTKII THAN MIIiH ; l'OH WVNO AtflMAI.3. In winter , when ' pasture Is not nvnlju- bio , lioga will cat'considerable amounts of clover or alfalfa hay If they car get It and will bo healthier nnd make better gains for having It. Another Important quality lu a feed stuff la Us palntablllty. Stock will makp greater gains on feeds that they Ilko , even though they contain nc : nero mitrltlvo mntorlul than those hat nro not so palatable. Closely re nted to pnlntabllity Is succulence or uclness. Cows give a large How of nlllc on pasture not so much because : > f Its high feeding value , but because jf Its succulence and pnlntabllity. Stock of any kind will not make the beat use of their feed If given uoth- UK but dry hay nnd grain. The most satisfactory means of pro- tiling suceulunt and palatable feed [ luring the winter Is by the uau of the Bllo. Hlliigo has a high feeding value uid la cheap , slnco from eight to twelve tons can bo raised on an acre. It llndu Us greatest use IIH a food for ilulry cows , but also makes a prolltn- ) le addition to t.lie ration of nearly nil classes of stock. The most Importnnl point to consid er In preparing n ration Is the rela tive proportion of the different con- HtltuontH. Fats and carbohydrates ire Interchangeable and can be con sldeivd together , since they botll go to furnish heal and energy or to build up animal fat. Neither of these sub stances , however , can take the plaoo of protein , since neither of them con tains nitrogen. To build up the mus cles , organs ami other parts of the body which require this clement con siderable protein must bo fed. The ordinary feeds found on the farm contain too llttlo protein In proportion to the other substances. To secure the best results a bnlunccd ration- that Is , one In which the amount of protein Is In the proper proportion to the amounts of futs and carbohy drates must bo fed. It can readily bo aeon that what Is n balanced ration for ono class of stock may not bo for another. Young calves , colts and pigs require more protein nnd nsh In their food than do mature animals. A wortc horse needs largo nmounts of fat nnd carbohydrates to uupply him with energy , but ho also needs considerable protein to repair his muscles , which wear out very rapidly. A fattening steer needs only a minimum amount of protein , since ho Is neither growing nor using his muscles , A milk cow needs n great deal of protoln and ash to use In mnk lug milk , together with h liberal amount of the other constituents , to ( supply energy and to mMce Into but ter fat. A prcgnnnt animal Is In espo. elal need of protein and ash to use In building up the bones nnd flesh of Its offspring. All animals need larger quantities of the bent forming ele ments In the winter In order to keep the body warm. Another Important point , ono that must not bo. lost sight of in preparing rations for any clnss of stock , Is the cost. It makes no difference how dl gestlblc , palatable or well balanced a ration may be nor how rapid gains It will produce , If these gnlns nrc put on nt too grout an expense the fecdlug operations will result lu a loss. For the last two years , for Instance , brnn and shorts hnve been so high In price that It Is doubtful If they could bo fed at a profit. Ilran produces n largo milk How when fed to cows , but silage and clover hay are Just ns good and cost only a fraction ns much. The question of how much a fnrmcr can afford to spend for concentrated byproducts Is alwnys a perplexing one. Something Is needed to balance the corn , which Is the principal feed on most farms. If nothing clso Is fed with corn It will not be thoroughly digested and much of the nutriment which It contains will be wnstod. When corn Is chcnp this does not rant- tcr so much , but when the price goes up to CO or GO cents n bushel It be comes nn Importnnt consideration. This applies not only to corn , but to other grains ns well , slnco all contain an excess of carbohydrates nnd fat. Oats come the nearest to being n bal- nncctl ration of any farm grain , but they nrc nsunlly too expensive to be fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn does not make n balnnccd ration , since the onts luivo scarcely enough protein to balance their own carbohydrates nnd fnts. Another factor which must bo taken Into consideration Is the health of the nnlmnh. { This will surely suffer If they nro compelled to live long on n single kind of feed , csp'eclnl- ly one that Is ns low In protein us corn 13. When grain Is high In price the sav ing effected by the purchase of some supplementary feed rich In protein will usually much more thnn pay the cost. In buying feed to balance corner or other grain the chief consideration should bo the amount of digestible protein which It contains. Ash Is nlso Importnnt , especially If It Is to be fed with corn , which Is low In nsh. By dividing the price per ton of a feed by the number of pounds of digestible protein In ft ton the prcp { per pound of protein Is enslly determined. Thus the comparative cost of protein In the different byproducts cnn be figured out nufl tbe one used which will fur nish it in the cheapest form. For nogs there is probably no better or cheaper source of protein than tank- ago or meat meal. A ration of one part of this to ten pnrta of corn Is an Ideal one for fattening bogs. For growing pigs the amount of tankage should be doubled nnd some sklmmllk added if it can be obtained. , Milk is nn almost perfect food for nil young Block , and the farmer who has n large supply of it has a big part of his feedIng - Ing problem solved. Another feed that is Invaluable for young pigs and calves Is dried bleeder or blood Hour. Nothing else will stop scours so quickly nor do so much to ward starting along an unthrifty pig or culf. A heaping toaspoonfnl to n feed Is enough for n young calf , with proportionate amounts for the pigs. The reason tlwt these packing house byproducts arc 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. Fid. XXVIII CLOVKll PASTUHK IS AM 13- CELLENT I'OOD I'OII bUEEP. A lack of nsh is the chief fault that can bo found with the corn byprod ucts , such ns germ oil meal nnd gluten feed. For this reason these feeds nro not so valuable for milk cows nnd young stock , although they uro nil right for fattening nnltnnls. Oil nud cottonseed meals contain more nsh than the corn products , but not BO much ns tanknge. They nre usually n chcnp source of protein. Ollmeal is especially valuable for keeping the system in tone , the bowels loose and the coat sleek nnd glossy. Cottonseed meal should never bo fed to hogs , ns they often dlo from eating It. There is nothing better thnu clover pasture to balance the ration of fat tening swine. Clover pasture , with perhaps n small allowance of grain , is nn ideal feed for milk cows , calvca and colts. The llttlo pigs will learn to cat It nlso , but'will need considerable grain and Bklmrnllk In addition it they nro to mnko rapid gains. Clover hay and corn is n ration for fattening cattle nnd sheep that cannot be beat en. Clover hay and sllnge with n llt tlo corn nnd ollmcal added is n flrsl class winter feed for dairy cattle , Even for horses clover hay , If not dusty , Is the best ft roughage.
