and spins like a top. It la nttj-balancing. It skims ns perfectly after 16 years' o»e aa when new. Positively 
cannot ever get out of balance—cannot vibrate and thus cause cross currents which waste cream by 
remixing with the milk. The 600-lb. Melotte turns as easily as the 30O-lb. machine of other makes. Spina

Ration With Choice Alfalfa 
I have the following feeds: Bran, glu¬ 
ten, cornmeal, 'beet pulp, dry brewery 
seed meal, 150 lbs. oilmoal, 15 lbs. salt. 
For roughage I have sweet cornstalks, 
fodder cornstalks and second cutting Al¬ 
falfa hay. G. D. 
New York. 
You are fortunate in having second cut¬ 
ting Alfalfa hay for use as roughage in 
feeding your herd of dairy cows. With 
due consideration for the prevailing prices 
of feeding stuffs that you have named, I 
should combine as follows: 200 lbs. 
bran, 150 lbs. gluten, 200 lbs. cornmeal, 
150 lbs. brewers’ grains, 150 lbs. cotton¬ 
seed meal, 150 lbs. oil meal, 15 lbs. saft. 
I should not use any beet pulp in this 
straight mixture, for I do not believe that 
the best results follow where beet pulp is 
fed in dry form. Since you do not have 
silage, it would be well to moisten the 
'beet pulp 12 hours before feeding, and 
allow the cows 15 lbs. each of this ma¬ 
terial after it. had been thoroughly satur¬ 
ated. A pound of dry beet pulp will take 
lip to l or 5 lbs. of water, hence it will re¬ 
quire about 5 lbs. of the dry beet pulp to 
provide the 25 or 80 lbs. of succulence.

Ajax Dairy Ration 
“Feed It Straight” 
Made from cottonseed meal, corn gluten meal, linseed 
meal, corn gluten feed, dried brewers’ grains, corn oil meal, 
wheat bran, hominy meal and salt. 
Analysis: Protein 20%, Fat 5%, Carbo¬ 
hydrates 55%, Fiber 9%. 
Results: We ask you to try it and judge it for yourself. 
Chapin & Company’s reputation for manufacturing good 
feed stands behind Ajax. We use exactly the same ingre¬ 
dients as we do in Unicorn. 
Compare Ajax with any other 20% feeds on the market as 
to fat content and fiber. It is in a class by itself— a com¬ 
plete ration for a dairy cow. It will keep your herd in bloom 
during the entire lactation period and get maximum produc¬ 
tion from each individual. 
Feeding Three Holsteins 
T wish a balanced ration for three IIol- 
steins. I am feeding for roughage mixed 
hay and cornstalks. I’lease give me 
amounts to use of each as a grain feed, 
as I wish to mix my own. G. D. H. 
New Jersey. 
A grain ration suitable for three Hol¬ 
stein cows would result from the follow¬ 
ing ingredients in this proportion: 25 
lbs. bran, 35 lbs. hominy. 15 lbs, oilnieal, 
10 lbs. ground oats. 15 lbs. cottonseed 
meal, 2 lbs. salt. Mixed hay and corn¬ 
stalks would not give you as satisfactory 
results as would clover or Alfalfa hay, 
and it would be to your advantage to se¬ 
cure a leafy roughage. In the absence of 
mangels, moistened beet pulp would pro¬ 
vide a necessary succulence.
