F. M. SAME Phone 80 Brussels FARM COLUMN WINTER MILK SUPPLY The progressive dairy farmer is realizing more and more the value of properly- feeding his milking herd during the winter months. C. D. MacKenzie, Division of Ani- mal ,Husbandry, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, points out that in winter feeding for milk production, a supply of good hay, silage or rants, or both; a suitable meal mixture, a mineral supple- ment, salt, and water are requir– ed. The. most suitable kind of hay for milking cows, is alfalfa, 'follow- ed in order of suitability by clover 1 and, mixed hay. Mixed hay, how- ever, should. contain a large propor- tion of alfalfa or clover. Timothy hay is decidedly inferior for milk production. The quality of the hay used for •milking cows is just as important as the kind c, bay, It should be cut early, well cured, bright and clean. Silage or roots should be provid- ed for winter feeding if at all pos- sible. DUCKS FOR MARKET Growing ducks for market is a specialized side line in ,poultry keeping and is becoming popular with many poultrymen and farm- ers, especially those near large towns, and cities. Profits received for money invested are very attrac- tive, and the turnover is raipid. Con,sid.erable experimental work With, different varieties of ducks, and the use of different feeds fed in different ways. have been carried on at the Bxperlmemital Farm in Ottawa, states A. G. Taylor, Poul- try Division.
