Show I , DAIRYING H FEEDING THE DAIRY COW. B Our present knowledge of feeding H can be boiled down into the follow- H ing maxims: H The more food the cow can be in-H in-H ducrd to cat, the more milk she will H produce. Cows do not usually eon' H sume more food that they can propyl prop-yl erly digest. The ration, therefore H should be made as palatable a$ poc-H poc-H siblc in ordor to induce (ire cow to H oat large quttatftics. H The larger the amount of protein H in the ration, the larger the milk flow. H Protein in the ration is essential to H the production of the milk. H The less energy required to digest H the ration, the larger the milk flow. H The richer the ration, the richer the H manure The- dairy farmer must Joelt H here for a large part of Jiis profit. H No two cows can be fed' alike, l$ah H must be studied difforeitly. Increase , H the protein in the nation and watch H' the milk flow. Professor C. L. H Bench. |
