XIV. Some Points on Stock Feeding

Homo foods , SIK-II aB oat straw , ure not

with a high percentage of dlgcKtlblllty ,

juices , and Indigestion would bo sure
to result. 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

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. IU

will reduce the -cost of feeding nnC
