Show r INTEREST IN DAIRY FEEDING Bulletin of Pennsylvania Experiment Station Discusses Matter In Most Thorough Manner. To thoso of our readers who make u careful study of dairy feeding, bulletin bulle-tin 114 of the renripylvania, experiment experi-ment station will bo very lntereHtiiiR. Tho principles in dairy feeding aro gone Into both In a theoretical nnd practical manner. In a rough way the following rules are laid down as good: 1. Feed grain In proportion to milk yields; that Is, give her, for example, one pound of grain mixture per day for encb three or four pounds of ml lit produced. 2. Feed all the roughage which the cow will eat up clean, up to the point where she gains too much weight. 3. Whenever she becomes too fat reduce re-duce tho amount of roughnfie, leaving the amount of grain to be determined by the milk yield. Food requirements for cows of different dif-ferent weights and cows producing different amounts of milk are given In tables. Most of our readers w ill find the methods an described In the bulletin extremely unscientific, but after af-ter they have studied It a littlo tbey will find It quite dimple and, we believe, be-lieve, quite practical. Of all tho experiment ex-periment stations the Pennsylvsnli has done tho nioft scientific work with feeding stock. Pennsylvania Experiment Station. |
