Growing Animals
on the Farm
Eight Studies in the Growing of
Our Own Live Stock.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, in co-operation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture, will offer this year,
through this paper, a free correspond
ence course in “The Growing of Farm
Animals.” These lessons will appear
in this paper at intervals of six
weeks. Those who wish to take this
course should write to the Director of
Extension Division of the University
of Arkansas, at Fayetteville, stating
name, age, occupation, and stat
ing that he (or she) proposes
to carry the work through for the
eight lessons. A farmers' bulletin will
be sent to supplement lesson No. 1, and
later for each lesson if the question
blank be returned for the preceding
lesson. These question blanks will be
sent with each bulletin. Preceding les
sons may be had on request. The ad
ditional lessons on The Growing
of Farm Animals will be: (4)
Growing and Feeding Beef Cat
tle. (5) Hog Raising, (6) Growing
Horses and Mules, (7) Sheep and Goat
Raising, (8) Stock Farm Management.
III. RAISING AND FEEDING THE
DAIRY COW.
By H. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Ani
mal Husbandry, University
of Arkansas.
A discussion of feeding dairy cattle
would be incomplete unless one com
menced with the development of the
dairy heifer since the success of the
business depends largely on herd im
provement. This applies especially to
Arkansas dairying in bo much as the
business is still in its infancy, and the
production per cow is still very low.
The ability of the heifer to produce
at the pail is largely a matter of he
redity and must not be under estimat
ed, .but proper development has a,
great Influence nevertheless. It is -es
sentlal therefore that the heifer calf
get a good start and is kept growing
rapidly. Whole milk for at least three
to four weeks is the best. By that
time a little grain can be added and
the change made to skim milk. This
change should be gradual and extend
over three to four weeks more. Eight
to ten pounds of milk daily is a suf
ficient quantity for the average calf
during the first few weeks. This
amount can be gradually increased to
twelve or fourteen pounds. It is
rarely advisable to feed more than
that amount while the calf is on milk.
The grain can be increased and by the
lime the calf is on skim milk it will
be eating hay. Never use cotton seed
meal for calves. Oats, corn chops, j
wheat bran, and a small quantity of !
oil meal are the best. Pasture is ex
cellent when they are old enough to
properly utilize it. The object is to
keep them growing at all times. It
has been proven that generous feed
ing of heifers even though they lay
on fat is not at all detrimental to
their future usefulness. On the other
hand such feeding means early matur
ity; that is, the heifer will make suf
ficient growth during tho shortest pos
sible time so that she may be bred
early, thereby shortening her non-pro
ductive life, and still make ample
growth to insure a good sized cow
when mature. Make the ration com
posed largely of nutritious roughages
so as to develop a strong and efficient
digestive apparatus* and use grain m
the ration to force growth.
The heifer and the mature cow as
well should come to the freshening
period in good flesh. Surplus fat will
be milked down readily if the cow be
of the desired dairy temperament. Ten
to twelve days before freshening the
grain ration should be reduced and
laxative, cooling feeds such as silage, I
roots, or small amounts of linseed
meal or wheat bran shoal^ be fed. j
The value or tTTe dairy cow on the
farm lies primarily in her ability to
convert roughages tornrnoTTly grown in
abundance on most farms into a valu
able, nutritious and readily market
able product. The selection of a ra
tion should therefore be made with
a view 01 utilizing such roughages 10
the greatest possible extent. Both
during development and when produc
ing milk, the requirement of protein
is high so that what is known as a
narrow ration must be used. Where
the protein can be supplied with le
gume hays, it should be done, as
they are generally our cheapest source
of protein. Kxtra protein can be sup
plied through the grain or cencen
trates. Cotton seed meal is our cheap
est protein in Arkansas as a rule.
Wheat bran and oats also supply a
deficiency in protein quite cheaply.
A general rule is to feed one pound
of grain daily for every three and a
half to four pounds of milk produced
daily for cows giving milk of average
butter fat content, or one pound of
grain for every two and a half to three
pounds of high testing milk. A bet
ter rule is to feed a pound of grain
daily for every pound of butter fat a
cow produces weekly. This means
that a cow giving 10 pounds of butter
fat per week should nave at least 10
pounds of grain daily. The individual
needs of the cow must also be taken
into consideration in grain feeding.
In feeding daily animals the follow
ing factors should be observed: Feed
a ration that will meet the needs of
the animal, especially from the stand
point of protein requirement: make
the ration bulky enough to satisfy the
capacity of the animal, make it pala
table so that it is eaten with a rel
ish, utilize as far as possible crops
grown on the farm, and by all means
see to it that the ration is not made
too expensive, so that a profit can be
made on the milk produced. The lib
eral use of legumes will help in all in
Itances.
Consumption of Gasoline.
In estimating consumption of gaso
line statisticians usually figure con
sumption by motor owners as the prin
cipal demand on refiners and lump
other consumption as not of great im
portance. However, President Brace
of the National Association of Dyers
and Cleaners, recently called atten
tion to the great amount of gasoline
used by cleaning establishments. He
says that the annual consumption of
gasoline for this purpose in the Uni
ted States exceeds 70,000,000 gallons
and is increasing all the time. Clean
ers, according to Mr. Brace, use gaso
line as laundries do water, and in fig
uring cn the consumption of gasoline
in this country he says the statisti
cians must not forget the great de
mands made on the refiners by the
cleaners.—Wall Street Journal.
