Profit From Bulky Feed In spite of tow milk prices Jersey cows have turned bome-growD bulky feed into profit and kept up the fertility fertil-ity of the soil for James F. Taylor, dairy herd demonstrator of East Point community. Wood county, Texas. As reported by James W. McGown, county coun-ty agent, the ration for the first three months of the year consisted of 10 pounds daily of ground hegari bundles, 6 pounds Bermuda hay, 5 pounds ground peanut vines including nuts, and IVz pounds cottonseed meal. They produced an average of 20 pounds of milk per day and at market prices it brought $20 per ton for the ground roughages after figuring $5 per ton for the grinding, nnd counting the manure ma-nure worth the labor of caring for the cows. Mr. Taylor states that the cows have given more milk during this period on this demonstration system than ever before at the same time of the year.
