Prevent  Sickness  by 
Destroying  Foul  Odors 
Not  only  your  family  but  your  stock  are  liable 
to  con  tract  disease  through  foul  odors  arising 
from  sinks,  drains,  trarbace  cans,  outhouses. 
During  hot  weather  disinfect  these  things 
and  places  thoroughly  with 
and  TOO  pounds  hominy  or  100  pounds 
middlings  seem  to  do  tis  pretty  well.  As 
we  are  conducting  our  farm  on  a  short 
crop  rotation,  which  consists  of  corn.  oats, 
clover.  Alfalfa,  etc.,  we  can  reduce  the 
protein  in  the  purchased  feeds  somewhat 
and  still  get  pretty  good  results.

Food  Value  of  Corn  Cobs 
Ts  there  any  food  value  in  corncobs 
when  ground  with  the  corn,  or  is  it  used

the  cobs  alone,  giving  their  food  value?

Grain  With  High  Protein  Roughage 
Will  you  give  me  a  balanced  ration  for 
Holstein  cows  with  pea  silage  and  clover 
hay,  also  ground  oats  and  buckwheat 
feed?  I  have  plenty  of  these  two  feeds; 
what  should  I  buy  to  feed  with  it  ? 
Verona  Stu..  X.  Y.  B.  L.  c. 
With  such  high  protein  roughage  as  pea 
silage  and  clover  hay  on  hand,  the  grain 
ration  can  be  made  up  entirely  of  carbo¬ 
hydrate  feeds.  In  figuring  the  ration 
given  below  I  have  figured  the  average 
live  weight  of  your  cows  to  he  1.200 
pounds,  and  the  production  25  pounds  of 
8 14  per  cent,  milk  daily.  This  being  the 
case  20  lbs.  pea  silage.  15  lbs.  clover  hay, 
4  lbs.  ground  oats,  and  8  lbs.  ground  buck¬ 
wheat.  make  a  balanced  ration  and  supply 
the  nutrients  necessary.  I  see  no  reason 
why  this  ration  should  not  give  satisfac¬ 
tory  results  if  the  grain  ration  is  fed  at 
the  rate  of  1  lb.  to  8%  lbs.  milk  pro¬ 
duced  daily.  All  are  very  palatable  feeds 
but  should  you  wish  to  give  your  grain 
ration  little  more  variety,  you  could  make 
it.  up  of  8  parts  ground  oats.  2  parts 
E-round  buckwheat.,  and  114  parts  wheat

Improving  a  Horse  Ration 
T  have  a  horse  about  12  years  old,  good 
willing  horse;  he  has  u  ravenous  appetite, 
would  eat  18  ears  of  corn  three  times  a 
day  if  I  were  to  give  it  to  him.  I  give 
him  eight  cars  of  corn  three  rimes  n  day 
and  he  eats  cob  and  all.  The  horse  is 
poor  and  weak.  I  had  Ids  teeth  filed,  but 
iie  does  not  improve,  and  is  thin.  I  do 
not  always  feed  corn  ;  I  give  soft  feed  at 
noon.  Can  you  tell  me  what  to  do  to  get 
this  horse  fat?  1,.  m . 
New  Jersey. 
Work  or  abundantly  exercise  the 
horse  every  day.  Feed  whole  oats  and 
one-ninth  part  of  wheat  bran  in  place  of 
corn.  Feed  it  from  a  large  box  to  pre¬ 
vent  bolting  of  feed.  Allow  not  oyer  one

if  the  horse  does  not  chew  oats  perfectly. 
Ration  for  Jerseys  and  Guernseys 
I  have  some  Jersey  and  Guernsey  cows 
which  average  5.2  per  cent.  milk.  I  have 
some  hay.  mostly  lted-top.  with  a  small 
amount  of  Timothy  and  Red  clover,  but 
must  buy  some  hay.  I  have  corn  silage

Feeding  Value  of  By-Products 
I  notice  that  your  feeding  experts  fre¬ 
quently  recommend  rations  containing  one 
or  more  of  the  following  feeding  stuffs: 
Brewers’  grains,  beet  pulp,  cottonseed 
meal,  linseed  meal,  gluten  feed,  hominy 
feed,  “commercial”  food.  etc.  Some  of 
these  materials  have  gone  through  Fuell¬ 
ing  processes,  relieving  them  not  only  of 
their  sugars,  hut  also  of  mineral  matter, 
and  of  the  important  hut  little  understood 
principles  known  as  “vitamines."  I  Ithers 
have  been  treated  with  volatile  solvents 
which  possibly  leave  residual  poisons  in 
tlie  feed.  Still  others  have  nil  or  starch 
or  bran  removed.  All  have  become  more 
or  less  unbalanced  in  milling  processes. 
And  while  it  is  the  aim  of  the  "balanced 
ration”  to  provide  a  scientific  balame  be¬ 
tween  protein,  carbohydrate  and  fat.  yet 
it  is  possible  that  here  is  only  part  of  the 
story,  and  that  certain  vital  elements  of 
feeding  are  still  to  be  discovered.  The 
time  may  come  when  we  will  cease  to 
value  a  ration  simply  in  terms  of  digesti¬ 
ble  protein,  carbohydrate  and  fat.  May  it 
not  be  true  that  farm  animals  land 
humans)  sutler  from  doctored  and  devital¬ 
ized  foods?  May  these  not  be  largely  re¬ 
sponsible  for  ever-increasing  tuberculosis 
in  dairy  herds,  cholera  in  swine  and  other 
serious  diseases  of  farm  animals?  May 
not  cancer,  tuberculosis,  etc.,  in  the  hu¬ 
man  family  be  largely  due  to  malnutrition
