The cow requires her carbonaceous con-stituents in the form of bulk or roughage and the protein in concen-trates. The usual farm rations of corn and corn fodder (1:15), or of tim-othy and corn (1:12) are entirely too wide. With the use of alfalfa,however, a ratio somewhere near the proper amount of protein issecured. FOR YOUNG CATTLE. As corn will necessarily have to belargely used in the corn belt for winter beef calves and yearlings,which are intended for finishing when older, two rations taken from*Smith are given, figured on a basis of 500-pound calf.

However, corn being economical, the thing to alonedo is to balance it as well as possible with some home-grown rough-age.
