Show PTTJTF3 Litter Bedding Oklahoma Girl Affects Manure HIGH-PRODUCIN- : COW IS FAVORED Costs More to Feed but More Than Makes It Up. Ohio, with the sixth largest number of dairy cows among the important ' dairying states, supports more than d of a million cows kept for milking purposes than are actually needed to produce the same volume of milk and butterfat now being obtained. This is the conclusion from statistics on the dairy industry of the state and on the performance of the g 9,171 cows of herds in associations. Ohio has approximately 926,000 - cows and heifers two years old and over. Average production of milk is about 4,500 pounds per cow per year. Average production of butterfat is about 160 pounds per year. .But the 9,171 cows In the cow testing assocl-ation- s averaged. a production of 7,451 pounds of milk and 315 pounds of butterfat in 1927. If that had been the average for all the cows in the state, only about 566,000 cows would have been needed to produce the same quantity of milk, and only 470,000 to . produce the same weight of butterfat. That presupposes that the quality of all cows in the state, and their care and management, were kept at the same standard as those of the cows in the cow testing associations. Looking at it In another way, if all the cows in the state were brought to the same standards of productivity as those of the cows In the associations, the milk flow in Ohio would amount - to nearly seven billion pounds a year Instead of only a little more than four billion. And the butterfat produced would total more than 292,000,-00- 0 pounds Instead of 148,000,000 pounds. Charts and records of feeding, kept in the cow testing associations, show that It costs more to feed the cow, but that Increased cost Is far below the proportionate gain. one-thir- cow-testin- high-produci- Best Roughage for Milk , Cows During the Winter . ' ' The best roughage for milk cows in the winter is a mixture of legume hay and some kind - of succulent material such as silage or roots. Alfalfa hay is one of the best hays for feeding. . to milk, cows, although clover, soy bean hay and others belonging to that family give excellent results. Corn silage is perhaps as common a feed as Is available for supplying succulence, although mangels, carrots and sugar beets are also If legume hay and such excellent succulent feeds as were mentioned are not available, cane hay, Sudan hay and millet hay will give reasonably good results. When a nonlegume hay such as the three just mentioned Is fed it will be necessary to make up the protein In the grain mixture. That will necessitate the use of some high protein concentrate such as linseed oil meal, cottonseed meal, gluten meal, soy bean oil meal, peanut meal or coconut meal. Start Dairy Industry ,by Using Dairying, as with other forms of live stock production, is not a thing which should be promoted. ventures usually result from promotion and rapid expansion.

Tens of millions of dollars are being literally washed away in the rivers and streams of America through failure of farmers and other land owners to properly protect their lands from erosion, reports the Farm Journal. The rich surface soil, created by the accumulationeof vegetable matter for many centuries, is laid bare by plowing and deforestation, and within a few years is swept away by rains, e earth beleaving only the neath. HA experiment at the Missouri College of Agriculture shows that on a slope of 3.6 feet to soil left without any crops washes so rapidly that only 29 years are required to wear away the seven inches of surWith face soil, says the magazine. a rotation of corn, wheat and clover on the same land, 437 years would be required to move the surface seven inches, while on land left in sod continuously the time required to wash away the same seven Inches would be 3,547 years. Systematic terracing of such sloping ground, used in conjunction with regular cover crops, would make the life of the rich top soil almost interminable, it is pointed out. semi-steril- Sires Pure-Bre- d Straw is the bedding material almost universally used on the farm. It will absorb from two to three times Its weight of liquid. If the supply Is scanty, it will pay to cut the straw used as litter, for finely cut It will absorb about three times as much liquid as uncut. Dry sawdust and fine shavings can be recommended as clean and satisfactory bedding materials. Their absorptive capacity according to fineness and dryness is from two to four times that of ordinary straw. Not Injurious to Land. There Is a more or less general Impression among farmers that manure from stables and cow barns in which sawdust has been used as a litter is Injurious to the land. While we would not say that this suspicion may not have some foundation, we have never been able to discover a single instance of such injury and Inquiry has been made both in Canada and the United States in this matter, says the Farm and Home. Such Injury could only, occur on very light soils following very heavy applications. Most satisfactory evidence has been obtained from many farms upon which sawdust has been used as a bedding material for a number of years and upon which the soil is light and sandy. Naturally it is on heavy soils that this class of manure proves most effective. One word of cautioq is necessary. Horse manure from stables using sawdust heats very rapidly, especially if left in the pile, and the excessive fermentation that may take place will seriously injure the manure. Such manure should be mixed with that from the cow barn, which can readily be managed when manure carriers are installed and a manure spreader used. Mixed manure (horse and cowj may be handled in the same manner as that made with straw. The saturation of the sawdust with the liquid excreta promotes the ready decomposition of the litter under favorable conditions of temperature, and the best place for this to take place. In order that the full manurial effect may be obtained, is the soil. If the manure cannot be spread at once, the heap should be kept moist and compact, as in the case of manure made : with straw. Hardwood Sawdust Beat. The sawdust of hardwoods decompose more rapidly and further is richer in potash and phosphoric acid than that f of pines and conifers generally, but no harm due to resistance to decay need be feared from the use of the latter, provided that it Is not employed in larger quantity than is sufficient to absorb and retain the liquid excreta. .
