chicago herald stock feeding as practiced in north carolina by f 11 dancy first assistant chemist x ('. ivvjieriment station it was stated in bulletin no il tiie station sent out to farmers in ail sec tions of the state blank forms tu be filled out giving the amount of ration fed to the various farm animals per day it w;*s hoped in this way to ob tain some insight into the question as to whether as a rule our farmers were under-feeding or over-feeding the effort was disappointing in that by reason oi the mall percentage of an swers received and the meagrcness and insufficiency we were not supplied with sufficient data to arrive at any very reliable conclusion on the subject it is dangerous to gem ralize from too small data however we shall pro ceed to give what information was de rived in this way and while cautioning against placing too much significance in the results of sin h meagre returns will say that we do not . <>:;.-: 1 r fhem entirely without valuable teachings the first thing then thai ive are struck with in glancing over the re turns is how pie-eniinently indian corn is the fed-lei of the north carolina farmer in the vast majority of ill rations corn fodder more properly corn stover see bulletin 01 . p 10 is the frame-work of the ration and corn the grain ) is the albuminoid furni her the ration is made up of so much corn fodder or the same amount of hay or of the same amount of a mixture of the two most fd the hay bought and used bv the north carolina fanner is probably timothy many cut their own mixed meadow hay by reference to tabic il bulletin g4 it will be ob served that while there is a different ■in the analyses of corn stover timothy hay and mixed meadow hay the differ ence is not considerable looking at the digestible nutrients or as i his pre sents it more in a nutshell looking at the nutritive ratios of the three it will be observed that corn stover is the weaker of the three but as the ordi nary corn fodder of our north caro lina farmer is probably a fraction bet ter food-stuff than the corn stover here given due to the absence generally of the stalk which is included in the stover there is no very materia differ ence in the three in view of this fact therefore and especially as they are in practice given interchangeably as evidenced in the various rations re ported in the return we will consider them as eqaul weight for weight in comparing and averaging the various returns next to corn comes oats as the grain fodder in the great majority of the returns corn and oats are given inter changeably seeming to be generally regarded as equal pound for pound one or two instances were noticed where in replacing corn with oats in lhe same ration more oats were used than corn by referring to the table alluded to above it will be seen that while corn is a trifle richer in digestible albuminoids than oats i s s per cent for corn and 8:46 per cent for oats ). this this difference is not material and two grains may be regarded as practically equal iii their albuminoid-furnishing power in the analysis corn shows considerably more digestible carbohy drate equivalence see bnllcntin 01 than oats and their nutritive ratios i are respectively 1:8.9 and 1:6.6 to day a pound of oats is worth a frac tion more than a pound of corn but i values vary according to supply and demand and both by analysis and by experience it is quite right for practi cal purposes to consider them as equal fodders pound for pound and to use them interchangeably in a ration thev are also considered in comparing and averaging the various rations fur nished in the returns the plan adopted then is this the grain part of the ration is in each ease brought to a c irn basis and the frame | work of the rati .: is in each ea • i brought to a h y or a u iru-fodder ba sis the latter two b ing taken a equal ( >..:- ir ■. for ! he reus lis given ah ive converted into corn weight for weight the percentage of other grains given in the returns is so small that thev have been omitted w here clover hay or orchard grass were given in a ration they have been converted into hay or corn fodder by increasing the weights m prorx rtion approximately to the relative value of the two fodders as shown by analysis so also it being a poorer fodder has been converted into hay by reducing the weight in the same way by this means all the rations furnished by the returns have been converted to a basis ef corn grain with hay or with corn fodder and thereby we are better enabled to com pare i e;ii and to average them as so many of the rations were already given iii corn ami hay or fodder the number of such conversions were few tiie returns were fullest as to horses of light ordinary and heavy work and mules of ordinary and heavy work oxen of ordinary or heavy work and fattening oi at rest were more scantily reported it is to be especially regret ted that the returns could not have more complete as to milk cows though they were better reported than oxen the returns for sheep and hogs were so small that no comparison or average of these will be attempted before giving the review of the re turns it may prove convenient to pre sent in

hog for fattening seem to receive an average daily ration of a fraction ever 12 lbs corn the minimum report being 0 ibs and the maximum 40 novr when we endeavor to make a rati n on scientific principles with only corn and corn fodder or say only corn and hay we are immediately con fronted with a very important fact namely that in making a ratio with these two fodders alone there is a great waste of carbohydrate equivalence the returns show how very common — almost universal a practice it is with farmers t > feed a ration contain ing only these two fodders it is a very had economy and there is un doubtedly great waste the lesson is that he should always have on hand to go in his ration some fodder that has a i rge percentage of albuminoids as compared with its carbohydrate equiv .,: -., ■■. - > th .: with it lie can incn a-se tl percentage of albuminoids in h:s ration with ut increasing his carbohy !• .:. rival ul-e in suuh an alarming j ly wasteful manner the percentage of albuminoids as compared with the percentage of carbohydrates the nu tritive ratio in other words in both corn and hay or ptover is entirely too small for these two fodders to ever be used alone in compounding a ration ' to illustrate suppose we try to com j pound a ration for an average horse ( 1,000 lbs weight of light work j using corn and timothy hay alone : table i bulletin 04 shows that such 1 a horse requires 1.50 lbs digestible albuminoids and 10.50 lbs digestible carbohydrate equivalence turn next to table ii and it will be seen that timothy hay contains 3.07 per cent of albuminoids and 43.83 per cent of car bohydrate equivalence and that corn contains 8.58 per cent of albuminoids and 70.42 per cent of carbohydrate equivalence now to begin the ration take - y 20 lbs of hay 20 lbs of bay will furnish 0.74 lbs of digestible albu minoids 20 lbs x 0367 and s.77 lbs of digestible carbohydrate equivalence 20 lbs x 4383 now sufficient corn must be taken to furnish enough albuminoid in addition to that fur nished by the hay to foot up 1.50 lbs or very near it 1.50 lbs being as has been shown the daily need of albumi noids on the part of a horse of 1.000 lbs weight at light work nine lbs of corn will do this and no less but at the same time that it does this it supplies also an amount of carbohy drate equivalence which when added to the carbohydrate equivalence fur nished by the 20 lbs of hay in the ra tion is far ill excess of the needs ( 10.50 lbs of the horse try as we may by all sorts of combinations of varying proportions of hay and corn we cannot avoid this it is due to the compositions of the fodders themsel ves their nutritive ratios are too small and we cannot alter such a result un less we could alter the composition of the fodders them elves this is of course impossible but it is quite possi ble to effect the same result in another way that is by adding in proper quantities some other fodder having a high nutritive ratio or having a large percentage of albuminoids as compared with its percentage of carbohydrate equivalence here are rat ions for horses at light ordinary and hard work com pounded by using corn and hay

quirements of the the standaid in the third case — that of the horse of heavy work — it will be observed that the 20 lbs of corn alone furnished enough carbohydrate equivalence and therefore the entire carbohydrate eqi valence of the hay is wasted he sides this the above ration is objec tionable on account of the bulk of food given to supply the proper amount of nutrients from 20 to 25 poun is of hay is sufficient for a horse s dailv ration more than this is too much bulk and the horse will most likely refuse it now see how by calling in the ser vices of a little cotton-seed meal or other concentrated food the situation is relieved it is not proposed here to enter into a discussion of the advisa bility of feeding cotton-seed meal to a horse we use it in making this ra tion to illustrate the principle sought be elucidated namely the necessity of incorporating some conccutmted fod der in the ration hiving a hi;.h c>n teiit of albuminoids with a compara tively low content of carbohydrate equivalence we invite the opinions of farmers based on their experience as to the use of cotton-seed meal in con nection with corn and bay or corn fod der lor horses no objection to it is

see that if they use a greater variety of fodders iu their ra tions instead of corn and ha only or corn and fodder only as is the practice now that a great waste of food mate rial will in avoided if they can be brought to see this the aim of this ar ticle and those to follow will not be in vain in the same way that those dispro portionate rations above given for horses of light ordinary and heavy work were formed using only corn and hay or fodder any one who desires to compare them with the rations actual ly given in the returns can form them for mules oxen cows kc but not much is to be learned from the com parison of such rations the great lesson sought to be emphasized is that we must look to a greater diversity for food-stuffs in our barns and wean our selves from the old-time habit of feed ing a ration of only corn and hay or fodder in this view of the matter and as long as this practice continues the fanners of north carolina may surely be said to be over-feeding as far as can be judged by the returns looking at the actual rations fed corn and hay only it would seem that while the corn ration is about adequate in i.ll cases the amount of hay in the ration is uniformly low fin practice it will iv found that the horse will hardly eat such a large ration the figures above are given for sake of illustration in reaching the required quantity of albuminoids to the fecple of north carolina unsolicited and unexpected ou my part i have been elected by the exec utive committee of the confederate veterans association of north car olina an agent to make a canvass

be true that these 28 were in the charge on many battle fields in those days that tried men's souls may it not be true that some at least of the 28 were seen by us in those dreadful cla^ges made at

tions of the state blank forms tu be filled out giving the amount of ration fed to the various farm animals per day it w;*s hoped in this way to ob tain some insight into the question as to whether as a rule our farmers were under-feeding or over-feeding the effort was disappointing in that by reason oi the mall percentage of an swers received and the meagrcness and insufficiency we were not supplied with sufficient data to arrive at any very reliable conclusion on the subject it is dangerous to gem ralize from too small data however we shall pro ceed to give what information was de rived in this way and while cautioning against placing too much significance in the results of sin h meagre returns will say that we do not . <>:;.-: 1 r fhem entirely without valuable teachings the first thing then thai ive are struck with in glancing over the re turns is how pie-eniinently indian corn is the fed-lei of the north carolina farmer in the vast majority of ill rations corn fodder more properly corn stover see bulletin 01 . p 10 is the frame-work of the ration and corn the grain ) is the albuminoid furni her the ration is made up of so much corn fodder or the same amount of hay or of the same amount of a mixture of the two most fd the hay bought and used bv the north carolina fanner is probably timothy many cut their own mixed meadow hay by reference to tabic il bulletin g4 it will be ob served that while there is a different ■in the analyses of corn stover timothy hay and mixed meadow hay the differ ence is not considerable looking at the digestible nutrients or as i his pre sents it more in a nutshell looking at the nutritive ratios of the three it will be observed that corn stover is the weaker of the three but as the ordi nary corn fodder of our north caro lina farmer is probably a fraction bet ter food-stuff than the corn stover here given due to the absence generally of the stalk which is included in the stover there is no very materia differ ence in the three in view of this fact therefore and especially as they are in practice given interchangeably as evidenced in the various rations re ported in the return we will consider them as eqaul weight for weight in comparing and averaging the various returns next to corn comes oats as the grain fodder in the great majority of the returns corn and oats are given inter changeably seeming to be generally regarded as equal pound for pound one or two instances were noticed where in replacing corn with oats in lhe same ration more oats were used than corn by referring to the table alluded to above it will be seen that while corn is a trifle richer in digestible albuminoids than oats i s s per cent for corn and 8:46 per cent for oats ). this this difference is not material and two grains may be regarded as practically equal iii their albuminoid-furnishing power in the analysis corn shows considerably more digestible carbohy drate equivalence see bnllcntin 01 than oats and their nutritive ratios i are respectively 1:8.9 and 1:6.6 to day a pound of oats is worth a frac tion more than a pound of corn but i values vary according to supply and demand and both by analysis and by experience it is quite right for practi cal purposes to consider them as equal fodders pound for pound and to use them interchangeably in a ration thev are also considered in comparing and averaging the various rations fur nished in the returns the plan adopted then is this the grain part of the ration is in each ease brought to a c irn basis and the frame | work of the rati .: is in each ea • i brought to a h y or a u iru-fodder ba sis the latter two b ing taken a equal ( >..:- ir ■. for ! he reus lis given ah ive converted into corn weight for weight the percentage of other grains given in the returns is so small that thev have been omitted w here clover hay or orchard grass were given in a ration they have been converted into hay or corn fodder by increasing the weights m prorx rtion approximately to the relative value of the two fodders as shown by analysis so also it being a poorer fodder has been converted into hay by reducing the weight in the same way by this means all the rations furnished by the returns have been converted to a basis ef corn grain with hay or with corn fodder and thereby we are better enabled to com pare i e;ii and to average them as so many of the rations were already given iii corn ami hay or fodder the number of such conversions were few tiie returns were fullest as to horses of light ordinary and heavy work and mules of ordinary and heavy work oxen of ordinary or heavy work and fattening oi at rest were more scantily reported it is to be especially regret ted that the returns could not have more complete as to milk cows though they were better reported than oxen the returns for sheep and hogs were so small that no comparison or average of these will be attempted before giving the review of the re turns it may prove convenient to pre sent in

principles with only corn and corn fodder or say only corn and hay we are immediately con fronted with a very important fact namely that in making a ratio with these two fodders alone there is a great waste of carbohydrate equivalence the returns show how very common — almost universal a practice it is with farmers t > feed a ration contain ing only these two fodders it is a very had economy and there is un doubtedly great waste the lesson is that he should always have on hand to go in his ration some fodder that has a i rge percentage of albuminoids as compared with its carbohydrate equiv .,: -., ■■. - > th .: with it lie can incn a-se tl percentage of albuminoids in h:s ration with ut increasing his carbohy !• .:. rival ul-e in suuh an alarming j ly wasteful manner the percentage of albuminoids as compared with the percentage of carbohydrates the nu tritive ratio in other words in both corn and hay or ptover is entirely too small for these two fodders to ever be used alone in compounding a ration ' to illustrate suppose we try to com j pound a ration for an average horse ( 1,000 lbs weight of light work j using corn and timothy hay alone : table i bulletin 04 shows that such 1 a horse requires 1.50 lbs digestible albuminoids and 10.50 lbs digestible carbohydrate equivalence turn next to table ii and it will be seen that timothy hay contains 3.07 per cent of albuminoids and 43.83 per cent of car bohydrate equivalence and that corn contains 8.58 per cent of albuminoids and 70.42 per cent of carbohydrate equivalence now to begin the ration take - y 20 lbs of hay 20 lbs of bay will furnish 0.74 lbs of digestible albu minoids 20 lbs x 0367 and s.77 lbs of digestible carbohydrate equivalence 20 lbs x 4383 now sufficient corn must be taken to furnish enough albuminoid in addition to that fur nished by the hay to foot up 1.50 lbs or very near it 1.50 lbs being as has been shown the daily need of albumi noids on the part of a horse of 1.000 lbs weight at light work nine lbs of corn will do this and no less but at the same time that it does this it supplies also an amount of carbohy drate equivalence which when added to the carbohydrate equivalence fur nished by the 20 lbs of hay in the ra tion is far ill excess of the needs ( 10.50 lbs of the horse try as we may by all sorts of combinations of varying proportions of hay and corn we cannot avoid this it is due to the compositions of the fodders themsel ves their nutritive ratios are too small and we cannot alter such a result un less we could alter the composition of the fodders them elves this is of course impossible but it is quite possi ble to effect the same result in another way that is by adding in proper quantities some other fodder having a high nutritive ratio or having a large percentage of albuminoids as compared with its percentage of carbohydrate equivalence here are rat ions for horses at light ordinary and hard work com pounded by using corn and hay

quirements of the the standaid in the third case — that of the horse of heavy work — it will be observed that the 20 lbs of corn alone furnished enough carbohydrate equivalence and therefore the entire carbohydrate eqi valence of the hay is wasted he sides this the above ration is objec tionable on account of the bulk of food given to supply the proper amount of nutrients from 20 to 25 poun is of hay is sufficient for a horse s dailv ration more than this is too much bulk and the horse will most likely refuse it now see how by calling in the ser vices of a little cotton-seed meal or other concentrated food the situation is relieved it is not proposed here to enter into a discussion of the advisa bility of feeding cotton-seed meal to a horse we use it in making this ra tion to illustrate the principle sought be elucidated namely the necessity of incorporating some conccutmted fod der in the ration hiving a hi;.h c>n teiit of albuminoids with a compara tively low content of

see that if they use a greater variety of fodders iu their ra tions instead of corn and ha only or corn and fodder only as is the practice now that a great waste of food mate rial will in avoided if they can be brought to see this the aim of this ar ticle and those to follow will not be in vain in the same way that those dispro portionate rations above given for horses of light ordinary and heavy work were formed using only corn and hay or fodder any one who desires to compare them with the rations actual ly given in the returns can form them for mules oxen cows kc but not much is to be learned from the com parison of such rations the great lesson sought to be emphasized is that we must look to a greater diversity for food-stuffs in our barns and wean our selves from the old-time habit of feed ing a ration of only corn and hay or fodder in this view of the matter and as long as this practice continues the fanners of north carolina may surely be said to be over-feeding as far as can be judged by the returns looking at the actual rations fed corn and hay only it would seem that while the corn ration is about adequate in i.ll cases the amount of hay in the ration is uniformly low fin practice it will iv found that the horse will hardly eat such a large ration the figures above are given for sake of illustration in reaching the required quantity of albuminoids to the fecple of north carolina unsolicited and unexpected ou my part i have been elected by the exec utive committee of the confederate veterans association of north car olina an agent to make a canvass

not convenient for me to give now if we are not willing to make sorrre sacrifice if not willing to sacrifice some luxury for this cause but must wait until it is convenient to give the aid then let
