Corn on the Cob Not Economical for Dairy Cows
Extension dairyman H R Searles from University of Minnesota explains that ground feeds are 10 to 25 percent more efficient than ear corn for dairy cows. Corn and stalks lack protein and variety. add linseed oil meal, soybean meal, cottonseed meal or corn gluten meal. Equal parts ground corn and oats with alfalfa hay provide a solid ration. adjust protein if no legume hay is used. Individualize rations based on milk output.

Agricultural Notes on Poultry and Cattle Feeding Practices
Proper housing increases hatching egg production with one foot of hopper space per five hens. A queen bee can lay 3000 to 4000 eggs daily for weeks. Molded or damaged sweet clover hay or silage is unsafe for cattle. Common gas engine faults are overheating and loss of power from timing errors. Guinea hens mate best in pairs though up to four hens per male can yield fertility. Burlap wrapped poles soaked in crude oil help control cattle lice. Illinois poultry growers include ground carrots in daily moist mash. Straw alone failed as feed for 1000 dry cows last winter.
