' Long-Standi- Lime and Phosphorus Particularly Required, According to Ohio 8ttion Test. That milk cows need more minerals, particularly lime and prospho-rus- , than is commonly found in their feed, is the finding of recent feeding teats at the Ohio experiment station. The best feeds to supply these elements are clover hay, alfalfa hay, soy bean hay and wheat bran. If plenty of one or more of these is not given in the dally feed, It will be wise to add about one pound of fine ground limestone and two pounds of specially prepared bone meal to each 100 pounds of grain mixture. An Increased flow of milk may not be noted at once, but the good effects are in tbe prevention of future decrease In milk production. Tbe minerals may make their beat showing in the following year. The two elements most likely to he lacking are calcium and phosphorus. Limestone carries calcium, and bone meal carries both calcium and phosphorus. When these are combined in thp feed while the cow Is dry. It Is found that she will store enough to Increase production still further during her next milking season. SUPPLY COWS MORE PROTEIN Bran, Lin teed Ollmeal and Cottonseed MeaDWIII Furnish Necessary Ingredient. Home-grow- n feeds for dairy cows, unless there Is an abundance of clon ver, alfalfa or hay, do not carry enough protein to produce milk most economically, according to jlalry authorities at Ohio experiment station. The addition of such feeds as bran, linseed ollmeal and cottonseed meal to the ration will supply the necessary protein and assist in the digestion of soy-bea- the feeds. When no legume hay Is available and such feeds as silage, mixed hay, clover, ground corn and ground oats are fed, no cow should have less, and cows should have more, than 34 pounds of linseed home-grow- n heavy-producin- g oil-me- daily. Instead of linseed meal one of the following equivalents may be fed: Cottonseed meal 2 pounds and bran 2 pounds, wheat bran 4 pounds and gluten feed 2 pounds, Wheat bran5 3 pounds and ollmeal 2 pounds, ollmeal 1 pound, cottonseed meal 1 pound and bran 3 pounds, or distillers' grain 3 pounds and ollmeal 1 pound. Where a good legume hay Is fed at least half the above amount of protein concentrate should be fed. NO INDEMNITY PAID SCRUBS Revised Regulation Disallow Compen- sation for Tuberculous Steers and Grade Bull. Under revised regulations, effective March 1, governing the appraisement of tuberculous animals and federal expenditures by the United States De partment of Agriculture in the eradl cation of tuberculosis, no federal in demnlty will be paid for scrub bulls Section 9, which provides that no com pensation will be paid for tuberculous steers or unregistered bulls," places scrub and grade bulls in the same class with meat animals for which the sal vage obtainable by the owner depends largely on their condition and mar ket value. This new provision reflects the at tltude of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture that scrub and grade bulls are undesirable for breed ing purposes, and that they are noi entitled to be classed as bfeeding stock. In tbe case of purebred bulls for which federal indemnity is paid under tbe provisions of the regula tlons, description of animal togethei with registry number must be supplied to the appraising officer.
