alone  your  present  ration  is  a  cheaper 
source  of  this  nutrient  than  was  the 
other.  The  other  ration  is  entirely  dif¬ 
ferent  in  makeup,  being  higher  in  car¬ 
bohydrates  and  lower  in  protein.

Feed  your  calves  what  mixed  hay  they 
will  clean*  up  and  use  the  following  for 
a  grain  mixture:  Three  parts  ground 
oats,  three  parts  cornmeal,  three  parts 
wheat  bran,  one  part  oil  meal,  one  per

The  amount  of  this  grain  to  feed  you

Another  Cow  Ration 
Will  you  give  me  a  ration  for  my 
cows,  grade  Holstein,  weight  (>00  to  800, 
two  to  three  years  old,  fresh  about  six 
weeks?  Been  feeding  barn  feed,  cut 
stalks  and  silage.  C.  w.  B. 
New  Jersey. 
In  figuring  the  following  ration  I  have 
assumed  live  weight  as  800  pounds  and 
production  30  pounds  of  fi.5%  milk  daily. 
The  ration  is:  25  pounds  corn  silage.  10 
pounds  cornstalks.  2%  pounds  cottonseed 
meal,  two  pounds  dried  distillers'  grains, 
two  pounds  gluten  feed,  one  per  cent, 
salt. 
Feed  this  grain  at  rate  of  one  pound  to 
about  four  of  milk.  n.  f.  j. 
DO  you  realize  the  great  interest  there  is  in 
modern,  profit-building  dairy  methods  just 
now?  At  a  big  Farmers’  Union  Meeting,  comprising 
18  counties  in  North  Carolina,  20  of  our  booklets, 
“Facts  and  Figures  on  Dairying,”  were  passed  through  the 
crowd  from  man  to  man.  Those  desiring  copies  were  asked  to 
write  to  the  Catawba  Creamery,  Hickory,  North  Carolina. 
In  25  days,  462  requests  for  booklets  were  received. 
Farmers  are  realizing  that  three  cows  with  a  good  cream 
separator  are  as  profitable  as  four  without  one.  A  good  separa¬ 
tor  is  one  that  gets  all  the  cream  down  to  one  drop  in  each  gallon 
of  skim  milk.  That’s  efficiency — and  that’s  the  reason  for  tho 
popularity  of  International  Harvester  separators,  Lily  and  Primrose- 
Lily  and  Primrose  separators  skim  to  this  fine  standard  for 
years,  because  they  are  built  on  a  sane  design,  strong,  simple, 
reliable,  sanitary.  The  few  easy  adjustments  necessary,  anyone 
c.in  make.  The  single  automatic  oiling  arrangement  takes  cure 
of  every  bearing  and  sidesteps  trouble. 
“Facts  and  Figures  on  Dairying”  will  help  yon,  too.  Write 
for  it  and  for  a  catalogue.  See  the  I  H  C  dealer  who  can  furnish 
you  with  a  Lily  or  a  Primrose  separator.

Ration  for  Thin  Cows 
CouW  you  give  me  a  balanced  ration 
for  cows  that  are  quite  thin ?  I  have 
good  clover  mixed  lmy  for  roughage,  no 
silage.  For  grain  I  have  ground  oats  and 
col  a  and  cob  meal,  not  enough  protein. 
NesV  York.  M,  e.  o. 
You  are  quite  right  in  saying  that  your 
ration  docs  not  contain  enough  protein. 
In  figuring  the  following  ration,  I  have 
been  able  to  put  in  a  pound  each  of  corn 
and  cob  meal,  and  oats,  and  have  then 
balanced  the  ration  by  using  cottonseed, 
distillers’  grains,  and  gluten,  all  high 
protein  feeds.  Daily  ration  for  cows  pro¬ 
ducing  25  pounds  \%  milk:  IS  pounds 
mixed  hay,  one  pound  ground  oats,  one 
pound  corn  and  cob  meal,  two  pounds 
cottonseed  meal,  two  pounds  dried  dis¬ 
tillers’  grains,  one  pound  gluten  feed,  one 
per  cent.  salt. 
Feed  grain  at  rate  of  one  pound  to  3% 
pounds  of  milk.  h.  f.  J. 
THAT’S  GUARANTEED 
—to  produce  more  milk  than  any  other  ration 
either  home  mixed  or  purchased  and  do  it 
without  giving  your  cows  constipation  or 
udder  trouble.  Ready  to  use  right  out  of  the 
sack  without  any  mixing.

Carrots  and  Corn  for  Silage 
Is  it  safe  to  cut  dry  cornstalks  and 
carrots  together  for  silage  for  Summer 
use?  If  this  cun  he  done  with  success 
a  large  amount  of  fodder  can  he  pro¬ 
duced  oil  small  acreage.  What  do  you 
think  of  the  advisability  of  erecting  a 
silo  on  a  seven-acre  farm  where  two 
cows,  two  horses  and  about  100  Ply¬ 
mouth  Kook  hens  are  kept?  There  is 
almost  always  some  opportunity  to  buy 
cornstalks  during  tho  season.  n.  j.  n. 
Michigan. 
I  should  not  advise  you  to  build  a 
silo  on  your  seven-acre  farm  where  only 
two  cows  are  kept.  It.  is  not  likely  that 
cut  carrots  and  cut  cornstalks  would  keep 
in  a  silo  unless  extra  water  was  added,, 
and  then  the  results  would  be  problem¬ 
atical.  At  any  rate,  so  much  labor  would 
he  involved  In  the  process  of  getting  the 
carrots  and  corn  into  the  silo  that  it 
would  not  he  a  paying  proposition.  For 
the  Summer  feeding  or  your  two  cows  it 
would  be  better  to  feed  green  crops  and 
hay  for  roughage.  I  should  advise  the 
growing  of  some  mangels  to  feed  during 
Winter.  You  probably  will  want  to  grow 
some  of  this  for  your  liens  anyway.
