FOR FARMERS, STOCK BREEDERS

Interested friend: have reminded the writer of several omissions in the earlier articles oi Memoirs for instance no mention was made of Abel a very nicely turned thorough- bred that did. 500d service on Prince Edward Island. Another real horse was Black Morgan, a son of the noted Telegraph Morgan owned by the lat-a Archibald Holmes,’ East. Royalty, this horse sired many real good brood mares with sufficient size to produce splendid carriage horses.

Tornado whose sire was Saladan

(so says my informant) was quite successful in the stud. Other hors- es that have been mentoned to me were Sir Domenic which I am told was oi- Clyde and thoroughbred breeding this horse produced good general purpose stock. lion Duke- owned by Lewis Huestis, whom we all remember handled Baron Kelvin and Captain Aubrey for the _1atc John Richards, did many years of stud service in the province. Robin owned and bred by a M1‘. Boylan of Hope River was, I am informed. a. son of 01d Bush Mes- senger, he was the sire oi Zulu at one time owned and raced by the late D. L. Hooper, father of our esteemed tawnsman Capt. J. Parker Hooper. To date these additional facts have been brought to the writers notice, further information would be appreciated

What To Feed

The ration used in feeding must be palatable and one which will produce flesh without costing: too much. Suitable rations which have been tested by the Poultry Division of the Experimentol Farms Branch of the Dominion Department of

Agmulture are:

1—Equa1 puris of mlddlings, ground oats and barley.

z-Jiqusl psTts of middling-s.

ground oats and chopped raw pc- tatoea. a-Equal parts of middlings, groimd oats and mashed potatoes. fv-Equai parts of mlddllngs, ground cats and cornmeal. l'>—‘Eiqual parts of shorts. ground hulless oats or greats, and ground barley. k-Equcl parts of low grade flour [ground barley and ground oats. i 7—Equal parts of ground whole wheat, ground whole owts, wound whole barley. . d-Recommendcd by ronimcrclal

oats (which must be fully mnturc weighing 34 pounds to ihc. bushel or more), with one part of finely ‘ground buckwheat.

NctkAll grain used should be finely ground, and all (h,- coarse hulls removed.

Almost every farm has available; a supply of grains suitable in tin-I crate feeding of poultry. FHFTTPYS all over canada are finding it in- creasingly worth while to market more of their coarse grains through the medium of poultry.

Take the cost oi feed per hund- redweigbt, divide it by the cost of e288 per doun and multiply this quotient by three. This gives you the number of eggs per day which a. flock oi 100 hens must lay to pay for the cost of their fccd. For example: Feed is costing $1.20 per cwt, and eggs selling at 30 cents per dozen: Applying the formula the quotient is f: this multiplied by a gives the result 1w: the number of eggs which a ﬂock cf ‘ 100 hens will have to average day

How to Feed

In crate feeding poultry one should bcar in mind that the pri- mary objective is to raise the quali- ty of the bird into the "Milkied" class grades, for which the highest prices are assurcd.

Watching the Cost

(C. E. Mackenzie)

From now on throughout thc win-

ter months there are several "fea-

thers" that can. be clipped from or‘ pulled out from the wings oi our

winter feed bill, thus prevcntingl Amid the daily activities oi life

on the dairy farm it often bullpen‘

that some of the more prcsslnll

needs overshadow what may seem

only matters of dctail.

A number of these daily prac- tises that need to be primed and budded back are: roughagcs, grain allowances, water supply and the‘ cows vacation time. i. There may also b‘, other thlngs' that may be oi vnliic; of these tho writer may speak ofin future ar- ticles but these mentioned are often much in need of _ attention on many oi our dairy farms. It may not he that all cf ths- number re- quire attention. but thcrp is usually one or more that will ‘scar a little consideration.

Under present conditions we have complaints " about. prices rc- oeived for dairy products but judg- ing frorn market reports the spread in dairy products is not nearly s0 great as we find in other farm products, which of itself is a stroll! argument in favor of dnirying. But notwithstanding the low prices, if those of us who complain would give those four foregoing points a little consideration us‘ they apply to our business, we might increase our income over feed costs consid- erably. About one half of the cost of milk goes for feed. Then reduc- ing the cost oi this one item makes a great difference in incomes de- rived. Tnking these four items as given above roughages come first. The dairy cow possesses a large ca- pacity for feed biit she is the moat economical producer of human food. There are cetain conditions how- evier, which must b;- met before she can render this service. The product of the Egyptian brick kilns were poor indeed when the makers were not allowed to use straw and in the snlne wry a dairy "m?" composed of timothy hay and straw plus concentrates low in pm- tein does not spell large produc- tion. Milk is a protein food and this can come from no other source ex- cept-from the fend ihe cow receives. It is Just as impossible for the dairy cow to manufacture this protein from fats and starches as it is for an auto to generate power from water, and yet water is a necessary material if the gasoline is to gen- erate the greatest amount of DOW?’-

Fecds such as oats. barley. com-

meal, iimothy and fodder corn are low in protein. Thcy should be sup- plemented by other feeds high in protein content, sucii as good clo- ver hay, alfalfa, which I am sure can be successfully grown in this province. Oil meal, cotton seed lhC-‘ll and whcnt bra". On n com- parative basis alfalfa or clover con- tains about thrce times the diges- tible protein as silage or fodder corn. Ii one has sufficient quanti- ties oi clover hay, lcss commercial feeds are nccdcd and it has also been proved that roots, turnips and mnngcls although having so large a percentage of water are almost indispensable in our winter rations. If the dnirymnn grows sufficient crops of these roofs with the addi- tion of farm grown grains plus some high grade protcin commercial feeds he has cvcry chalice of rc- ducing feed costs. In speaking of the dairy cow she is often compared 1o a mllchine. Thinking in terms of milk and products as Q finished product be- ing produccd from grass, ‘hay and other plants not suitcd to human consumption, shc may bc likened to a manufacturing plant. She is not a machine however in the truest sense of the word. Provided that two pieces of machinery are in good working condition and are supplied with uniform material and equal powcr,_ench will iurn out the same kind of n" article at the same rate of speed. This ls where the cow differs from the machine. Bbc possessks individuality. For {his reason the same grains and rough- ages fed in equal quantities mlly return much more profit when fcd to one cow than it would when consumed by another cow in the same stable. For the same reason the dairyman should know his cows, check up on how much roughage, grain. etc. that each needs and be govcrncd thereby.

Our third branch in this priming system is water and how it should be vised. Oi course when the dairy- mnn has an up-io date water sys- tem the difficulty is at once over- come as no one knows better than H10 row how and when she needs water but if no proper wafer equip- mcnt is used then we are nearing lhr- danger zone in winter feeding. Covhmcn and plentiful as water is or should be on the dairy frm. it

sometimes proves the limiting fac-

feed costs from soaring too high. <-

should be given the opportunity to drink at least twice daily oven in winter. Too often use herd is oom- pelled to drink from s brook or creek some distance from the stable. If the day happens to be a bleak stormy one and only ice water awaits the cow at the end of her Journey, she is very likely to take a. flew sips, shake her head and shivering start back for the barn and evening finds her hollow and gaunt. The result is also noticeable in the Ilmount oi milk she gives‘. Then next day nature calls and she usually consiimcs more water than is good for her.

When water is at the freezing point it tends io slow down diges- tion as it first has to be warmed up to the temperature of the body. This requires extra feed which in tum detracts from the milk sheet. As every barn cannot be equipped with a proper wafer system there is n half way house between the drinking bowel and the North Pole; it ls the tank healer. -

Now the fourth branch (,0 be unwed and budded back is the cow's vacation. I once heard the manager cf a large manufacturing- concern claim that he had all his machinery so eiiicinet that they only had to stop once a year for I cleaning up. This same man as a side line had a large dairy herd and some oi his cows were not even allowed to even stop for a. cleaning up but if he had of insisted on his manager giving each of his cows two months rest the net returns from his herd would have been larger than they were.
