Show V DAIRY COW'S RATION. p$' According to Professor Beach, the combined knowledge of feeding the dairy cow may be boiled down to u fixed set of rules, which he gives as follows: The more food) the cow can be induced in-duced to eat, the more milk she will produce. Cows do no4, usually consume con-sume more food than they can properly prop-erly digest. The ration, therefore, should be made as palatable as possible pos-sible in order to induce the cow to eat larger quantities. The larger the amount of protein in the ration the larger the milk flow. Protein in the ration is essential to the production of milk. The less energy required tocligest the ration the larger the milk flow. The richer the ration the richer the H manure. The dairy farmer must look H here for a large part of his profit. H No two cows can be fed alike. Each H must be studied1 differently. Increase fie" protein in the ration and w,atch the milk flow. -.
