Spring Grass and the
Dairy Cow
Editor News:

Owing to the late spring, farmers in
this Abbotsford, Sumas and Matsqui
district have been anxiously scanning
the backward pasture. The cows are
restless for a bite, They have been
turned out despite the grass shortage,
and mean around disconsolately, with
the double aggravation of desire—but
no wherewithal with which to satisfy it.

It is a serious mistake, this prema-
ture grazing. It upsets the cows—it
spoils the patsure, The young,tender
grass, very watery, and insufficient,
provides but a mere taste, and in ad-
dition, receives a set-back from which
it very tardily recovers.

Keep the cows off grass until it is
four to six inches high.

It is sound dairy practice and sound
economics,

Grass is the natural feed of the dairy
cow. It isa tonic and stimulus to milk
production. Most cows usually respond
with an increased milk yield. For this
reason many dairymen are led to think
that it is not n@cessary to feed grain
with pasture grass, This is a serious
error. If no grain is fed, the cows
that went to pasture in good flesh will
be thin by July. They will have ex-
hausted the reserves of the body. Then
milk production drops, and no amount
of feeding will bring it back. It is
unwise to try to save feed by relying
on pasture alone.

Poor milk production in winter is the
result of poor feeding in summer. The
bulky nature of pasture grass places

a positive limit upon the capacity of
the cow to take feed, Le, the cow's sto-
mach cannot contain grass enough to
supply the required nutrients for max-
imum production, Grain should be fed
to heavy-producing cows under all pas-
ture conditions.

Professor ©, H. Eckles, the famous
dairy expert of the University of Mis-
| sour; suggests the following quantities
of grain, with abundant pasture:
ISuy or Guernsey cow producing—
20ibs of milk daily—3lbs of grain.
80lbs. of milk daily—6lbs of grain.
40lbs. of milk daily—10lbs of grain,
Holstein of Ayrshire cow producing —
30Ibs of milk daily—Slbs of grain,
401bs of milk daily—Slbs of grain.
50lbs of milk daily—10lbs of grain.
With early spring pasture, the grain
mixture should be lower in protein and
rich in carbohydrates, 12-16 per cent,
protein in the grain ration in ideal for
this time of the year.

It has been proved that the feeding
of minerals is especially important dur-
ing the pasture season, owing to the
fact that mineral assimilation is much
more complete when animals are con-
suming natural green roughage and ex-
posed to the medicinal action of sun-
shine.

All high producing cows should re-
ceive an adequate mineral supply in
their daily grain ration during the
spring and summer months. This is
the best time to build up a mineral
