FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



a son of Promise of Gold of Langwater 

 who is a son of Langwater Warrior. 

 The dam of Promise of Gold of Ware 

 has an advanced registry record of 

 13,289.7 pounds of milk and 652.86 

 pounds fat as a four year old. The two 

 year olds are all granddaughters of 

 Yeoman's King of the May, the only 

 American bred bull that has one hundred 

 advanced registered daughters. 



Most of the bull calves offered for sale 

 by cow testing association members are 

 priced low. The owners are not going to 

 ksep these calves. It seems too bad to 

 have them .sold for veal when they could 

 do a lot to improve some farmer's herd. 

 If those interested in getting a good herd 

 sire at a reasonable price would tell the 

 county agent he can locate what they 

 want.

Top Prices 



and the 



Concrete 



Storage 



Cellar 



When you dump your crops 

 on the market while everyone 

 else is doing the same thing, you 

 are throwing away money. 



Only by waiting until the 



market is no longer glutted with 



apples, potatoes and the other 



produce you raise can you get 



top prices. 



Here's where the concrete 

 storage cellar comes in. Many a 

 man who has one can tell you 

 that its total cost was returned 

 to him the first year by enabling 

 him to hold his crops until 

 prices were right. 



Write us toda-j about your fruit and vegetable 

 storage problem. We have some valuable in- 

 formation viihich is yours for the asking.

INCREASES HIS PROFITS 



Wallace A, Main. Kittery. Maine, 

 iftJiils the milk from hi.s 21 cow 

 (lairy. He had been feeding a 19 

 per cent protein ration costing $39.60 

 a ton con.sisting of three parts of a 

 1(1 per cent mola.sses-oat-miU-by- 

 product.s-screening base mixture 

 ."iupDlemented with two parts of a 

 high protein concentrate ingredient. 



He bought some Eastern States 

 I'asture Ration, 16 per cent protein, 

 costing ?43.80 a ton. He took a 

 wei-k to work his cows over to this 

 feed from the one he had been using 

 and fed the same number of pounds 

 of Eastern States Pasture straight 

 that he had used of the other feed. 

 Since it takes three tons of grain a 

 month to keep this dairy going, it 

 cost $12.60 a month more to feed 

 Eastern States Pasture Ration than 

 the other feed. 



Eastern States Pasture Ration in- 

 creased the milk yield $45.U0 a 

 month. Subtracting the extra cost 

 of Eastern States grain, $12.60, from 

 the increased cash returns, $45.00, 

 Main found he was getting $.'!2.60 a 

 month — more than $1.00 a day — 

 mure out of the Exchange's ration 

 after paying the higher price. That 

 meant that it was worth $10.40 a 

 ton more than his cheap feed, worth 

 $10.40 more in actual cash to him. 



This is another illustration of the 

 money wasted in buying rations 

 composed of cheap, low grade in- 

 gredients. The freight rate from 

 the West on the low grade ingredi- 

 ents of which this feed is largely 

 composed is just as high as the 

 freight on ingredients of high feed 

 value. The feed is sold for a low 

 price because the ingredients are 

 practically worthless as concentra- 

 tes. These ingredients have about 

 the same feed value as timothy hay. 

 To produce results, they must be fed 

 .as hay and to be so fed profitably, 

 they must be owned at timothy hay 

 prices and supplemented heavily 

 with a real balanced grain ration. 



There is absolutely no mystery 

 about the Eastern States 16 per cent 

 I'asture Ration at the higher price 

 producing more niilk more profitably 

 than the 19 per cent feed described. 

 Eastern States 12 per cent Fitting 

 Ration would have done it also. 

 Total digestible nutrients are more 

 important than crude protein. Like 

 all Eastern States feeds, the I'asture 

 Ration contains only ingredients 

 which are profitable ingredients for 

 feeders to feed as concentrates.
