Sucrene  Feeds  do  away  with  the  old  time  waste¬ 
ful  methods  of  feeding.  Every  Sucrene  Feed 
formula  is  worked  outby  chemists  of  high  standing, 
with  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  animal's  needs 
for  maximum  development  or  productiveness. 
We  are  Specialists  in  Manufacturing  Mixed  Feeds 
Save  You  Trouble  and  Money 
The  American  Milling  Co.  was  the  first  to  enter  the  mixed 
feed  business  as  a  special  industry.  Our  mills  are  today  the 
largest  devoted  exclusively  to  the  manufacture  of  mixed 
feeds  for  farm  animats.  They  are  mod emly  equipped; 
have  a  capacity  of  300,000  pounds  of  feed  per  day.  We 
buy  groin,  gTain  products  -  nd  pure  cane  molasses 
by  train  loads. 
We  cm,  therefore,  piece  Sncrene  Feed*

Animals  Prefer 
Sucrene  Molasses  and 
Grain  Products  Feeds 
The  Molasses  tempts  the  appetite, 
aids  digestion,  promotes  health, — 
is  stronger  in  digestible  carbohy¬ 
drates  than  any  other  feed. 
Our  method  of  mixing  produce- 
a  sweet-smelling,  mealy  feed,  not 
sticky,  does  not  sour  in  hot  weather. 
We  use  only  the  very  best  materi¬ 
als— our  mills  are  located 
in  the  grain  growing 
sections.  Fresh,  clean, 
sound  grains  are  ship¬ 
ped  to  us  direct  from  the 
fields,  mixed  with  the 
greatest  care  and  accur¬ 
acy.

Grain  With  Clover  Hay 
What  would  you  consider  a  good  ration 
for  a  dairy  of  fresh  cows,  regardless  of 
cost,  heavy  milkers?  I  have  plenty  of 
clover  hay  for  roughage.  w.  n. 
New  York. 
A  good  graiu  -at:on  to  be  used  with 
clover  hay  as  the  sole  roughage  is  made 
up  of  two  parts  eornraeal,  1}A  parts 
gluten  feed,  one-half  part  linse  d  oil  meal, 
one  part  wheat  bran.  Add  1 %  salt  to 
mixture  when  it.  is  made  up.  n.  F.  J. 
Value  of  Wet  Brewers’  Grains 
Wet  brewers’  grains,  carted  from  the 
brewery,  can  be  bought  for  10c  in  Sum¬ 
mer  and  15c  in  Winter  per  bushel ;  fifty 
bushels  makes  a  load  for  two  horses,  and 
about  all  day  to  cart  them  ;  they  are  very 
wet  when  carted.  .  .  .  What  value 
are  they  for  feeding  cows  without  other 
grains?  If  fed  should  they  be  fed  alone 
or  with  other  grains,  and  if  so  what 
kind  of  grains,  and  how  much  per  cow 
to  produce  results.  Cows  are  on  liny  and 
silage;  some  fine  new  milkers  and  tbe  rest 
have  been  milked  all  Summer.  Would 
the  same  amount  of  money  that  the  wet 
grains  cost  be  worth  more  to  buy  other 
grains  or  mill  feed?  What  is  the  value 
of  a  ton  of  wet  brewers’  grains  besides  a 
ton  of  silage  from  well-grown  corn,  well 
eared  and  put  in  silo  at  the  denting 
period?  What  is  the  difference  in  value 
of  a  ton  of  corn,  well  eared,  compared 
with  a  ton  of  corn  without  cars,  for  fill¬ 
ing  silo?  J.  B.  IT. 
Connecticut. 
Wet  brewers’  "rains  contain  about  75 
per  cent  water  and  hence  have  about  one- 
fourth  the  feeding  value  of  the  dried 
grains.  A  bushel  of  the  wet  grains 
weighs  about  50  lbs.  This  would 
nleau  40  bu,  to  a  ton.  At  15c  a  bushel 
this  would  make  the  grains  cost  $6  per 
ton  at  the  brewery.  Since  it.  takes  a  man 
and  a  pair  of  horses  about  all  day  to 
haul  50  bushels  to  your  place,  $4  would 
be  the  minimum  cost  of  hauling  50  bush¬ 
els,  or  a  cost  of  8c  per  bushel.  This  would 
make  the  total  cost  of  hauling  a  ton  $3.20 
or  a  total  cost  of  $0.20  per  ton.  Since 
a  ton  of  the  dried  grains  is  worth  ap¬ 
proximately  four  times  as  much  as  a  ton 
of  the  wet  grains  the  wet  grains  would 
not  be  as  good  a  buy.  unless  the  dry 
grains  were  more  than  $37  per  ton.  which 
is  not  apt  to  be  the  case.  At  10  cents  per 
bushel  the  cost  of  a  ton  of  wet  grains 
would  be  $4  at  the  brewery.  Add  the 
$3.20  for  hauling  and  the  total  cost  per 
ton  would  be  $7.20  making  them  a  good 
buy  as  far  as  feeding  value  goes  when  the 
dried  grains  were  $28  per  ton  or  more. 
A  ton  of  silage  frotp  matured  corn  has 
3354  lbs.  of  total  digestible  nutrients  in 
it.  while  a  ton  of  wet  brewers’  grains  has 
334  lbs.  Placing  a  value  ou  the  silage  of 
$0  a  ton  the  brewers’  grains  would  be 
worth  $5.65.  Hence  figured  ou  the  basis 
of  total  digestible  nutrients  they  are 
about  equal  in  feeding  value.  However, 
they  are  two  feeds  of  entirely  different 
composition,  the  brewers’  grains  contain¬ 
ing  about  five  times  as  much  protein  as 
the  silage. 
Wet  brewers’  grain,  if  fed  clean  and 
sweet,  make  a  good  feed  for  dairy  cows 
if  their  net  cost  is  not  too  great.  They 
should  be  fed  with  other  grain  and  rough- 
age  to  balance  tbe  ration  ;  20  or  30  lbs. 
or  about  a  half  bushel  is  enough  to  feed 
a  cow  daily. 
The  following  is  a  balanced  ration  fig¬ 
ured  on  the  basis  of  a  1000-lb  cow  giving 
25  lbs.  of  4  per  cent,  milk  daily : 
10  lbs.  mixed  bay. 
20  lbs.  corn  silage. 
25  lbs.  wet  brewers’  grains. 
1  lb.  hominy  or  cornmeal. 
1  lb.  wheat  bran. 
1  lb.  standard  middlings. 
1  per  cent.  salt. 
Silage  from  matured  corn  has  about 
one-third  the  digestible  nutrients  in  it 
per  ton  that  Timothy  hay  possesses. 
Since  this  is  true  it  ought  to  he  worth 
$6  to  $8  per  ton  iu  the  silo.  According 
to  Henry’s  ’’Feeds  and  Feeding”  silage 
from  mature  corn  has  17.7  lbs.  of  diges¬ 
tible  nutrients  per  ewt.,  while  that  from 
immature  corn  has  13.3  lbs.  If  the  value 
of  the  matured  silage  is  placed  at  $6  per 
ton  the  value  of  the  immature  could  be 
figured  as  follows : 
17.7x20=854  lbs.  digestible  nutrients 
in  1  ton  mature  silage. 
13.3x20=266  lbs.  digestible  nutrients 
in  1  ton  mature  silage. 
354:  $6:  :  266:  x 
354  x  =  1506. 
x=$450  per  ton  for  silage  from  imma¬ 
ture  corn.  H.  F.  J. 
Ration  for  Ayrshire  and  Calf 
Will  you  give  a  balanced  ration  for 
an  Ayrshire  cow,  just  freshened?  I  have 
corn  cured  with  ears  on.  oats  cut  green, 
also  oat  straw,  swamp  grass  hay  and 
ground  oats.  Cow  gives  about  32  pounds 
milk  and  better.  I  would  also  like  di¬ 
rections  for  feeding  calf  to  raise.  E. 
New  York. 
The  roughage  which  you  have  on  hand 
is  of  a  very  low  protein  nature.  To  bal¬ 
ance  a  ration  it  is  therefore  necessary  to 
feed  high  protein  feeds,  which  at  present 
are  way  up  high  in  price.  If  you  could 
get  some  Alfalfa  hay  at  a  reasonable 
price,  it  would  be  a  good  buy.  You 
could  then  use  move  of  the  ground  oats 
which  you  have  ou  hand  in  the  grain 
ration.  As  it  stands  now  feed  your  cow 
equal  parts  hay  (mixture)  and  corn  fod¬ 
der.  feeding  what  she  will  clean  up. 
Make  up  a  grain  ration  of  one  part 
ground  oats,  two  parts  cottonseed  meal, 
one  part,  gluten  and  one  part  wheat  bran. 
Feed  grain  at  rate  of  a  pound  to  3% 
pounds  of  milk  produced. 
If  you  wish  to  bring  your  calf  up  with¬ 
out  using  much  milk  or  skim-milk,  make 
up  a  calf  meal,  using  one  part  each  by 
weight  of  hominy  feed  or  cornmeal.  red 
dog  flour,  dried  blood  and  linseed  oil 
meal.  At  one  week  of  age  feed  calf 
about  eight,  pounds  of  whole  milk  daily 
and  three  pounds  of  the  calf  meal  soaked 
in  warm  water.  At  three  weeks  feed  five 
pounds  of  milk,  nine  ounces  of  meal,  in 
2.5  pounds  of  warm  water.  One  month 
of  age,  feed  about  one  pound  of  milk.  .14 
ounces  of  meal  and  six  pounds  of  water. 
.Shortly  after  one  month  tbe  milk  may  be 
discontinued  and  tbe  calf  fed  on  the  meal 
and  water.  Increase  the  meal  gradually. 
Feed  calf  oat  hay  at  three  weeks  or  so 
of  age.  If  you  have  plenty  of  skim-milk 
for  calf  feed  whole  milk  until  calf  is 
two  weeks  of  age.  then  gradually  replace 
with  skim-milk.  The  grain  ration  recom¬ 
mended  above  may  be  used  and  grain  fed 
dry,  beginning  with  small  amount  at  two 
to  three  weeks  of  age.  It.  f.  j. 
Cheapening  Horse  Ration 
I  have  a  horse,  weight  1150  lbs.,  age 
IS  years,  to  which  I  have  always  given 
a  daily  grain  ration  of  five  quarts  (oats 
and  wheat  bran  mixed).  He  does  no 
heavy  work.  Now  the  price  of  grain,  so 
far  as  I  am  concerned,  is  almost  pro¬ 
hibitive.  but  I  have  a  superabundance  of 
excellent  hay  and  a  surplus  of  apples. 
Fan  I  cut  his  grain  feed  in  half,  or  omit 
it  altogether,  this  Winter  without  injur¬ 
ing  his  health?  Would  a  daily  half  peck 
of  sliced  apples  benefit  him?  o.  A.  M. 
Maine. 
You  might  feed  hay,  oat  straw  and 
wheat  bran  but  the  apples  would  be  of 
no  particular  benefit.  It  would  be  much 
better  to  feed  carrots  to  regulate  the 
bowels.  Apples  are  a  relish  but  would 
have  no  particular  feeding  value.

Thriftless  Cow 
T  have  a  Jersey  cow,  small  in  size. 
3*4  years  old,  which  dropped  her  sec¬ 
ond  calf  last  June.  I  milked  her  to 
within  two  weeks  of  calving.  She  did 
not  make  bag  very  much  and  her  udder 
never  got  full  and  hard  as  if  should,  and 
she  never  gave  over  six  quarts  of  milk 
when  last  Winter  she  was  giving  eight. 
She  will  not  eat  grain  well  and  part 
of  the  time  will  not  eat  grain  at  all.  eats 
hay  and  green  succulent  food  readily, 
but  is  drying  up  rapidly.  She  has  no 
cough,  chews  her  cud  and  appears  to  feel 
all  right.  I  have  been  told  that  I  have 
grained  her  too  heavily,  but  it  does  not 
seem  to  me  eight  quarts  a  day  should 
be  too  much.  j.  k.  s.  c. 
New  Jersey. 
We  fear  you  bought  a  poor  'producing 
cow  and  if  that  is  so  feeding  will  not 
pay.-  The  fact  that  she  1ms  a  poor  ap¬ 
petite  may  indicate  tuberculosis  but  that 
could  only  be  determined  by  applying  the 
tuberculin  test.  She  may  do  better  if 
you  let  her  run  outdoors  as  much  as 
possible  in  fine  weather  and  have  access 
to  careorn  and  whole  oats  as  a  change 
from  meals  but  continuing  roots,  silage 
or  other  succulent  feed.  A.  S.  A. 
Indigestion 
A  few  years  ago  our  driving  mare  had 
swellings  come  out  on  abdomen  and  at 
left  front  leg.  where  shoe  boil  comes. 
These  swellings  wore  like  large  water 
blisters,  as  large  as  a  good-sized  cocoa- 
nut.  With  driving  this  would  disappear: 
now  abdomen  has  enlarged  so  she  looks 
as  if  she  was  in  foal.  She  has.  an  extra 
good  appetite  and  feels  good ;  sweats 
easily,  coat  rough.  She  is  18  years  old 
and  appears  like  a  colt",  nice  showy 
driver.  We  keep  her  in  box  stall,  and  at 
times  we  found  her  eating  the  manure. 
We  feed  shorts  and  oats  mixed,  good  hay 
and  oat  straw.  Could  you  cell  ns  what 
the  trouble  is  and  what  is  good  for  it? 
New  York.  a.  s. 
Have  the  mare  clipped  and  then  blan¬ 
ket  her  in  the  stable,  if  cold,  and  when 
standing  out  of  doors.  Have  her  teeth 
attended  to  by  a  veterinarian,  then  feed 
whole  oats  and  one-ninth  part  of  wheat 
bran  by  weight,  dampening  it:  with  lime 
water  at  meal  times.  Of  this  mixture 
allow  a  trifle  over  one  pound  for  each  100 
pounds  of  l)ody  weight,  divided  into  three 
eipial  meals  as  a  day’s  ration.  Also  feed 
one  pound  of  hay  per  hundred  pounds  of 
body  weight  as  a  day’s  ration.  Work  or
