an hour, or two the first day, and the time increased. (3) The time called for to effect the change should never be less than one week or more than three. (4) As soon as the change begins, the reduction in succulent food, ensilage, and field roots should also begin. (5) The dry fodder should be continued morning and evening as long as the cows will take it. [Illustration: ~AYRSHIRE COW~] (6) There should be some reduction and it may be modification in the grain for a short time. After turning out a full supply may be necessary. Should the pasture be composed mainly of grasses, food rich in protein, as wheat bran, should be fed, but if it is composed mainly of clover, then more carbonaceous grain, as corn, should be fed. When pasture is succulent and abundant, it is a disputed point as to whether it will pay to feed meal of any kind in addition. The following conclusion in regard to this question would seem safe: When cows are fed grain on pastures succulent and abundant, the tendency is to increase the yield in the milk and also to increase flesh. The quality of the milk is not materially influenced. ----------------------------------------------------------------- _Millsboro, Del. Pratts Cow Remedy was fed to the cow from the receipt of Remedy until the calf was eight weeks old and the calf weighed 234 pounds and was acknowledged unanimously to be the nicest calf that was ever shipped from this depot. W.R. ATKINS._ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Some saving is effected in the grazing, and the resultant fertilizer from the grain fed has a tangible value. It is certain, therefore, that full value will be obtained for a small grain ration thus fed. [Illustration: PRATTS PRACTICAL POINTERS] +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ~GET MORE MILK MONEY~ | | | |Help your cows, every one, to give the largest possible amount of milk | |and to produce big, strong, husky calves each season. The _extra_ pounds| |of milk, the _extra_ value of the calves are all clear profit. | | | |[Illustration: Pratts Cow Remedy] | |
