Good Qsre at oa_Iv_lnp H_e_|p|~. Milk
Production.
Few farmers appreciate the real
weight which care at calving time
has upon both the productivity of the
cow and the value of the offspring.
if they did they would exert greater
care and consideration. The dairy
cow. when dry, should be_fed chiefly
onroughage. A small allowance of
grain, about two pounds daily, 'will
be quite enough, provided she is in
reasonable good “physical condition,
algd this ration should be rich in pro-
ts n. ‘
_Bran or oats, or B, mixture of bran
and oats with a little meal, makes a
good combination to be fed previous
to calving. Corn siiage and roots are
verygood feeds if the cow' has ne
pasture, or ii' it be before asture sea
, D ‘
son. The succulent feed should include c
liberal allowances of clover or al-
falfa hay, or a roughage rich in pre-
te n.
But the cow should not he fed more
roughage than she will eat up clean.
lf fed too much there will be danger
oi' het' getting into the habit of eat-
ing the most palatable ports of the
roughage and wasting much good
feed. _The cow on pasture will need
no grain, but s.'little roughage is
good. Of course, if the animal is
thin in flesh it would he well to feed
some grainy but ‘the amount should,
depend upon her condition entirely.
When the cow has been properly fed
there will be no necessity of medi-
cine. contrary to the views of many
dairymen. A bran mash over which
some warm water has been poured is
a very good ration, especially in cold
weather. Ground oats mixed with
grain and a. pail of warm water
should be given, for her feverish con-
dition and exhausted body at the
time demand considerable water, and
this should be warm. Be careful that
she is not exposed to cold draugbts.
Feed very lightly on grain at the
beginning of the milking period, al-
lowing a liberal amount of silage,
roots and hay. As the cow gains in
strength and resumes her normal
condition. the grain portion of her
ration should be increased. Keep in
creasing gradually as long as she re-
sponds to the-'extra feed. When she
has reached her maximum flow of
milk she should be fed a little less
grain. ,
It will take three or four weeks to
bring ber to a full flow of milk and
to reach the stage where she is eat-
ing a full ration. i'1`he time to esta-
blish the milk flow of the cow is
when she is fresh. There is no other
time in the lactation period when
care and judicious feeding have a
more important bearing upon her
year’s record. Feed her liberally
but never overieed or carry her be-
yond her capacity. This will work
great injuy to her milk function and

TH E PIG-EATING 80W
Occasionally a sow will eat her own
D188 immediately after they are far-
l'°W6d. and as is generally true in a
case of this kind an emergencv meas-
ure is the thing most desired. At the
same time it is the thing most difficult,
to prescribe. As a question of general
‘interest it is sim l one o
D Y 4 I how to
prevent the evil. Only _when a sow is
in a feverish condition does she km
and eat her own offspring. .
A pig that has been overlaid in the
nest is very often devoured by the
mother. but there is no connection be
tween this act 'and that of the sow
frantic with fever that kills her pigs.
Except through some abnormal condi-
tion or undue excitement no sow ever
-Dllrposely devours her young. For this
reason the matter of feeding a laxa-
‘tive and cooling ration to the brood
sow before and following the furrow-
ing period becomes one of much, im~-
portance. At this time born should he
Btudloualy avoided and especially lol.
lowing the time the sow has farrowed
should the ration be administered with
all the care possible and the sow
should be kept from all undue excite-
ment. Here is where the one who
handles his sows with' a great deal of
personal attention the year around has
a distinct advantage over the breed
whose sows are wild and object to his
presence at the time of farrowlng_
