THE THRESHING NAM COMES To Assist The Housewife in Her Tisk of Preparing Meals For the Harvesters. • Sy Earl One of the Most eominon mistakes in the feeding of dairy cows on the farm is- that the good eeowe are not given a sufficient -quantity of feed, above that required for their Physical mainteuanee, to obtain the Inaximum quantity ofinlik they are capable of producing. Successful feeding of dairy cows involves the proviSion Of an abundance of palatable, natritiOds feed at A minimize cost, and feeding this in such a way' as to receive the largest Milk Procluetion from the feed. 0,ne successful dairy. farmer &tines feeding for profit Ss liberal feeding,, or feeding to the full ca&icity of the neow. From the standpoint of economical milk production, a dairy cow should not be fed more then she will consume. N withnutgaining in weight. " But there are tiMOS when it is desirable to make /exceptions to this. Practically. all heavy ntilk Prodneers lose weight in , the early 'part of, their lactation pe- riod; that is, they produce milk at the expense, of their body flesh,: When such poWs approich the end of their -nulkrng peribCthey norMally regain the flesh they have lost, and the dairy- • Man can well afford to liberally feed them,•evith the assurance that he will • • . be repaid in the term of milk when the cows again freshen; . Pasture is the natural teed for cows, Rid for average ,conditions, with ample pasture of good grasses,. Or legumes. in good succulent coficlition, good production can be secured. Experts advise us that grain- shou1d.4 • be fed to heavy -producing cows under all pasture conclitiens. Variations should .be- made to meet different con- ditions and individual cows, Grain fed . caws on pasture need not contain, the • same percentage of proteinas for win, . ter feeding.

'To carry the dairy. herd over a pe- riod of short pasting without falling off in milk, Oiling crops are growing in favor. For this purpose, second - growth, red .clover, alfalfa, oats or petia are excellent. Corn is alsoavail- able usually in August and September. What may be a •disadvantage in the use -of soiling crops is the extra labor required to _cut and haul these crops from day to day, when field work as pressing hard. . • The summer silo is gaining in favor in Many seetidne. An acre of eerie •in the term of silage will provide succu- lent roughage for several cows for a season. • During periods of drought, when both pasteres and eoiling crops fail, a silo filledvvith well -matured idl- age grown the Year previous is most valuable. , In planning • a'. suit/per silo, the farmer should keep:in mind that its diMensions should.be in relation tothe number of cows fed -.daily.... As it usual thing, under summer conditions, a cow will consume about twdnty pounds, of silage Therefore, silage epough must be provided' daily to pre- vent excessive •surface fermentation, On this baths, a: sumer silo •for twenty cowa 'should- be eight feet in diameter; for thirty cows, ten feet; and for forty cows . tvielere' feet.
