A discussion critiques diversion of steel to can manufacturing, delaying harvesting machinery.

An old story about a ship captain’s medicine cheat ends in a death from mixing No 40 and No 7 to make No 47. The lesson warns feeders not to overdose on cottonseed or oilseed meal. Human nature drives seed experimentation, risking cattle misnutrition and death.
A historic note explains that random blending of oil by products and grains led to widespread fraud and poor livestock results. Modern practice, aided by government and state stations, uses uniform factory feeds with lab analysis, yielding better efficiency, reduced risk, and greater farm returns.
A fragment discusses choosing one high grade feed load over two cheap loads to meet needs. It references Deere and the idea that better quality feed reduces handling and waste, implying optimization of resources. The text is incomplete but centers on efficiency and cost considerations.
The text discusses using farm by-products as feed ingredients to economize rations, noting the farmer who studies new rations can save costs but many rely on experts to blend seeds. It argues most users turn to mixed feeds due to forage shortages and that keeping books shows mixed feed use is largely arithmetic comparing ingredient costs to balanced rations.
A dairy ration should be tasty and bulky to prevent indigestion and keep cows eating. It needs variety and proper protein and minerals, with high digestibility to minimize waste and energy loss.
A dairy feed advocate cites prominent farmers and experiment stations endorsing mixed feeds that improve milk output while reducing grain use. Wisconsin farmer proves five pounds of milk per pound of grain and balanced rations with farm forage.
The text explains double duty feeds, milk composition, and the need for a balanced ration. It discusses how protein, fat, and carbohydrates affect milk yield, and compares costs of protein feeds versus clover hay. It notes that optimal rations aim to maximize milk while keeping cows healthy and not losing weight, with prices showing protein feeds ranged high before the wet season and clover hay cheaper by the ton.
Retiomat Crop Improvement Service notes no universal formula for cattle diets. Feeds vary in value and cows differ in digestion. Use good stock feed as a base and supplement with home-grown roughage, applying judgement rather than blind following of others.
The Crop Improvement Service outlines seven factors for ration design and presents a sample dairy cow mixture. It recommends a blend of grains including 600 pounds distillers dried grains, 400 pounds linseed feed, 200 pounds wheat bran or brewers grain, 400 pounds hominy feed, and 300 pounds cottonseed meal, aimed at balancing bulk digestibility variety palatability and cost.
Professor Henry states cows need three quarters of an ounce daily per thousand pounds, and six tenths per day per twenty pounds of milk. A 1200 pound cow yielding 30 pounds of milk would require 1.2 ounces of salt. Salt is usually present in high grade feeds, but access to extra salt is advisable as cattle will self-regulate based on roughage needs.
Feed is cheaper per unit in carload orders than in small lots due to lower freight, and farmers can save by pooling orders through a dealer. Proper rationing boosts milk output, but overfeeding wastes profit. The human element matters in dairy farming. two operators with identical equipment can have different outcomes based on feeding practices.
