In the above table the words “corn
fodder” have the usual significance
given them in the sonth, meaning the
cared leaves of the corn; in the previ
ous table the words “corn fodder” un
der the heading of green fodder havo the
meaning usually given in the north,
that is to say it means the entire plant
usually sown thick and not simply the
leaves.
Yon will remember that the special
functions of food are to renew the
wastes of the body and to provide ma-
teral for growth in the young and grow
ing animal, and also to furnish heat
and energy. The animal must provide
for these ont of the digestible matters
in the ration of food furnished to it,
the indigestible parts are of no value.
The question which now concerns ns
is how much shall we feed onr stock of
the different kinds of foods we have
analyzed. .Yon know yourself that
when you are hard at work yon require
more food, and richer food, than when
you are idle. Nature calls for it, and
it is not different with yonr horse or
male; he requires more uutrimeut when
at work than when standing in the
Btall. When at work he uses np the
tissues of the body and proteia or car*
bohydnttes iu his food are needed to
rebuild those, else he will grow poor
and weak; ev^u when at rest he re
quires a certain amonnt of untriment
to maintain the normal beat of the body
and carry on the process of the vital
fanctious, bat not so much, and if fed
as much the disposition will be to grow
fat
In the case of the cow giving milk,
she requires food adapted to the pro
duction of milt; she is a wonderful ma
chine for converting fat, carbohydrates
and protein into milk, the protein of
the food goes to make the casein of the
milk, the fat of the food to make cream
or batter, and the carbohydrates to
make miik sugar and also fat; so she re
quires generous feeding just as much
as tho horse at bard labor.aud even more
so if she is to maintain a generous flow
of milk and at the same time maintain
her own normal weight. If yon don't
give her food enough or food of the
proper kind she will begin to make milk
from the tissues of her own body, then
•he will become tniu, and then the flow
of milk will be checked and its quality
will deteriorate
Thus it is important to know how
much as well as wh«t to feed, so that
we shall not waste by giving more than
{ is required nor starva by underfeeding
or feeding the wrong kind of food, for
an animal can be surely though slowly
starved by feeding au abundance of
carbohydrates aud an insufficiency of
^protein or vice versa To enable ns to
calculate the proper ration•* for animals
at work aud animals at rest, for grow
ing and mature animals, for milk cows
and fattening animals, a great number
of exper.ments have beeu made, and the
tables of Wolff, a celebrated German
experimenter, have boon most widely
followed 1 give them below:

would require pounds of digested
protein, 9‘.j pounds of digestible carbo
hydrates and 4 10 of a pound of digesti
ble fat, the same horse at hard work
wonld reqnire 2.8-10 pounds protein,
13.4-10 ponnds carbohydrates and 8-10
pound fat, all, of course, digestible.
In order to show the use of the above
tables let ns calculate the ration for a
milk cow. Let us suppose we have on
baud peaviue hay, green rye fodder,
corn meal aud wheat bran, liefering to
the table we find Wolff recommends 24
pounds dry matter, 2}% pounds digesti
ble protein, 12}g ponnds digestible car
bohydrates and 4 10 pound fat. Now,
refering to the table in the last letter,
wo find cowpea hay contains 89.3
pounds per 100 of dry matter. Then 1
pound will contain .893 of a pound dry
matter and 12 ponnds will contain 12
times 893, or 10.71 pounds dry matter.
Now sot this down in a column to it
self. Next we see by the table that
cowpea hay contains 10.79 per cent, di
gestible protein. Then 1 pound would
contain .1079, and Impounds wonld con
tain 12 times as much, or 1.29 pounds
digestible protein. Sot this resale down
in another column to itself. In like
manner we find that 1 pound contains
.384 digestible carbohydrates. There
fore, 12 pounds contain 4.61 pounds, and
also 1 pound of the hay contains .0151
of fat. Therefore, 12 ponnds contain
.17 of a pound, each of which is set
down in a separate column to itself.
Now in like manner calculate the dry
matter in 20 pounds of green rye fodder.
Yon will fiud it to be 4.68 pounds. Set
this under the dry matter in the peavine
hay, and so ou with the protein and
carbohydrates and fat in the rye fodder.
Then take 4 pounds of corn meal and 4
pounds of wheat bran and persue ex
actly the same course, aud when yon
are tbrongh you ought to have a table
like this:
Dry
Mutter.
12 lbs. i>on hay.. 1U.71
2U lb*, rye fodder 4.«58
4 Ibn. corn meal. 3.40
4 lb*.wheat bruu 3.54

There, you see. yon have almost tho
theoretical standard set by Wolff. It
is a little short, however, in carbohy
drates and dry matter, and, if yon wish,
yon can add 2 pounds cotton-seed halls,
which, when you have calculated it ont
and added the results to the proper col-
uinu«, will increase the dry matter to
.’4 11 pound * aud the carbohydrates to
12 31 pounds, but will only add .03 to
the tat, unking it .52 of a pound, and
will uot quite add 1 - KID to the protein.
So with tain addition you have a practi
cal y theoretical ration for a cow of
1,0j0 pounds' weight giving milk. Yon
will nee by reference to the taole that
■he requires almost as rich aud nour
ishing food, per 1,000 pouuds' weight,
as a heavily worked ox; that is because
she is producing milk, as well as main
taining the body heat and carrying on
the vital functions. Suppose, however,
your cow only weighs 800 pounds in
stead of J,000, you can economize by
giving her 80 per cent of each of the
food staffs, or 9 6-10 pouuds of pea hay
and 16 pouuds of rye fodder aud so on.
It is not to be understood that a ration
will not answer which does not strictly
coincide with Wolff's staudards. These
standards are a guide to help to ra
tional feeding, and a reasonably close
approximation to them is what is de
sired. Tho intelligent feeder will of
course continue to use his common sense,
jndgmont and observation. Thus dif
ferent cows show a different capacity
to appropriate food aud differ iu the
amount of uuik produced when in full
flow. Again while a strict adherence
to the standard might produce tho
greatest amount of milk say, yet a de
parture from it might, under certain
conditions, yield abetter mouey return,
on account of variations in the price of
feed srnffs. Of course judgement and
common sense mast always guide, but
other things being equal a balanced ra
tion is of course to be always preferred.
A ration is said to bo “balanced” when
the dry matter, tho protein, carbohy
drates and fat, are mixed together iu
the proportions given by Wolff’s stand
ards and to be unbalanced when it va
ries couiiderably from those propor
tions. There is always more latitude
allowed for variation in the “dry mat
ter” than in the other ingredients; a
ration may vary several pounds in dry
matter when made np irom different
* staffs and vet bare aooroximauiv

tbedesi ed relation between the pro
tein and carbohydrates. The protein
may vary say in the ration for a milk
cow from 2.20 ponnds to 2.6 and still be
called a balanced ration, the carbohy
drates from 12 to 14 pounds and the fat
from .4 to 1.00 ponnd in the dairy cow
ration and still be considered a bal
anced ration. Still the experience of
the most successful feeders is that
nearer the ration approaches the stand
ard, other things being eqnal, the bet
ter the results.
You will find both profit and intel
lectual exercise in figuring out balanced
rations for yonr stock iu long evenings
when you have nothing elso to do. I
will help you figure one more ration for
yonr dairy cow and then leave you to
do your own figuring for the future.
Let us suppose you are caught with
out any hay or green food at all and
only have on hand cotton seed meal,
cotton seed balls and corn and' cob
meal. Pursuing the same plan as min
utely described before, you will have:
Dry
Mutter
15 lbs. corn and
cob meal 11.33
12 lbs Cotton seed
hulls 10.19
4.5 lbs C.S. Meal.. 4.13
Curb. Fat
.78 6.75 .34
1.67
.74 .57
27.65 2.51 12.13 1.16
This ration, yon will see, made from
entirely different materials is about as
well balanced as the first; it is, how
ever, lacking in the succulent appetiz
ing green fodder of the first. So it yon
happen to have on the farm some roots,
turnips, rata bagas or carrots, add 4 or
5 ponnds of these to the day's ration, to
stimulate appetite and promote good
digestion. The cow wiU appreciate it
as much as yon wonld your tnrnip salad
at dinner, although there is but little
nourishment in them in the way of dry
matter, protein, etc. Oue important
point: please do not forget the rations
must be carefully weighed at least one
time. You can provide yourself with
some cheap boxes or measures which,
when filled, will hold just so many
pounds of the differcut feed stuffs, so
that if you take some paius to carefully
gnage them with a pair of hand scales
the first time yon weigh out a new ra
tion, after that yon caa measure it ont.
