We could cut the cost of Larro 
$7 a ton in two ways. One by 
adding such fillers as oat hulls, 
cottonseed hulls, ground screen¬ 
ings and similar low-grade ma¬ 
terials. The other by using o5- 
grade ingredients. 
Any of these substitutes could 
be cunningly hidden. But old- 
time Larro dairy feed users would 
immediately detect them. The 
milk flow would quickly de¬ 
crease. 
qA reputation is Slaked 
on Larro quality 
We never have and never will 
cut the quality of Larro. A life- 
timeof experience hasshown the 
fallacy of saving at the expense of 
quality. It has shown that it pays 
to keep faith with American 
dairymen. 
So, in making Larro we use 
only cottonseed meal testing 43 % 
protein. No musty or sour bran 
escapes our inspectors. All ingre¬ 
dients must be of certified qual¬ 
ity. Our reputation is staked on 
Larro quality each day. 
oA wonderfiil blend 
Larro success as the always reli¬ 
able dairy feed is due, not alone 
to honest methods,but also to the 
discovery years ago of a wonder¬ 
ful blend. This blend is excep¬ 
tionally palatable and easily 
digested. It brings vigor, vitality 
and health. Above all, milk 
yields are largely increased and 
the period of profitable lactation 
is prolonged. Wherever used, 
this blend has produced remark¬ 
able results. 
Today a corps of expert men 
are jealously guarding this rare 
blend. They make an average of 
3700 inspections and laboratory 
tests each month. They use the 
latest and finest instruments of 
precision. To keep down the cost 
we have provided hundreds of 
labor-saving appliances.Thus, we 
do in minutes what would re¬ 
quire hours in the ordinary way. 
That is why we say, compar¬ 
ing Larro with crude home mix¬ 
tures and unreliable prepared 
feeds is like comparing hand 
skimming with the modern 
cream separator. Home mixtures 
are troublesome, quality varies 
and they are seldom efficient. 
Low milk yields and profidess 
herds usually follow their use. 
They are far more cosdy in the 
end.

Live Stock Matters 
By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Powdered Milk for Hogs 
We have a few barrels of powdered 
skim-milk that we cannot use iu our bus¬ 
iness. It is not spoiled, but it is caked, 
and we do not want to use it for that 
reason. Would this skim-milk be all 
right for hogs and small shote.s? If so, 
how much would you recommend per 
CWt.? E. M. B. 
Pennsylvania. 
The powdered skim-milk can be safely 
used for feeding hogs, provided it is used 
with other foods. By itself it would not 
px-ove satisfactory. A mixture of 100 
lbs. corn or hominy meal, 50 lbs. white 
middlings, 25 lbs. of powdered milk and 
5 lbs. of tankage would do well for the 
young pigs, while 100 lbs. cornmenl and 
25 ll>s. of the caked milk powder would 
satisfy market swine. At the present 
cost milk powders are an expensive 
source of protein. True enough, these 
products correct deficiencies in rations, 
but either tankage or meat meal will 
yield protein at least cost. In your case 
cost is not the limiting factor. If desired 
you could mix or dissolve 12 lbs. of this 
powdered milk with 3S lbs. of water and 
provide a drink that the pigs would 
greatly relish. Allow the young pigs 
from 4 to 0 lbs. daily of the first men¬ 
tioned mixture for each 100 lbs. live 
weight. The market hogs should be given 
all the feed that they will consume. Bar¬ 
ley could replace the corn if desired. 
Various Feeding Questions 
I have stock as follows: Two cows 
giving milk, one April heifer, two July 
pigs weighing about 50 lbs. each, 37 
chickens. I had in barn November 1 : 
100 bundles fodder. 07 bushels corn in 
the ear. 46 bushels buckwheat, 12 bushels 
rye. 1 to tons hay, oue ton rye straw, 
one ton buckwheat straw, 216 lbs. bran, 
72 lbs. middlings, two bushels oats. What 
chance do I stand of wintering my stock 
on that, and what feed should I buy? 
Pennsylvania. G. ii. p. 
Buckwheat meal is coarse and heavy 
and frequently irritates the intestinal 
tract when fed to young pigs. It should 
not be fed to pigs, hut. rather included in 
rations for poultry or dairy cows. You 
ought to survive the Winter on the pro¬ 
ducts that are available for feeding your 
stock. I se the rye and some of the corn 
for the pigs; the cows and chickens ought 
to have some extra protein. A scratch 
feed made from equal parts of corn, buck¬ 
wheat and whole oats ought to be sup¬ 
plemented with a mash made from corn- 
meal, bran, middlings, tankage, equal 
parts, while the cows ought to get along 
if fed a grain ration made from com¬ 
bining ground corn-nnd-eob meal, wheat 
bran, ground buckwheat, equal parts, 
with 15 per cent of cottonseed meal and 
15 per cent of oilmeal. You will have 
plenty of roughage and bedding. Use the 
buckwheat straw as litter in the poultry 
house. Feed the heifer a grain ration 
consisting of equal parts of cormneal, 
oats, bran and oilmeal. 
Improving Guernsey Ration 
Am I feeding the correct ration for 
new milk cows, Guernsey and Guernsey 
grades? I have silage and mixed Timo¬ 
thy and clover hay. I am feeding 250 
lbs. gluten. 250 lbs. hominy, 200 lbs. bran 
and 100 lbs. oilmeal, about 4 lbs. daily. 
I am buying all of my cow feed. How 
much salt would you mix with the feed? 
New York. a. c. m. 
One hundred pounds of buckwheat 
bran and 100 lbs. of brewers’ grains 
would improve your ration. It lacks 
bulk. If you cannot obtain the brewery 
grains, use 50 lbs. ground outs and 50 
lbs. cottonseed meal. Four lbs, per day 
Is not enough for a cow worth milking. 
Feed at least 1 lb. of grain for each 3 1 4 
lbs. of milk and be more than generous 
with some leafy roughage. Where you 
allow a cow only 4 lbs. of grain you could 
scarcely expect more than 15 lbs. of milk, 
and even then the cow would no doubt be 
thin in flesh, and thus not in condition to 
give milk economically. Surely the feed¬ 
ing end of the dairy business is.of the 
utmost importance. You enunot make 
bricks from straw; neither can you make 
money by feeding dairy cows scanty ra¬ 
tions. TT.se about two per cent of salt. 
Allow all the silage and bay that the 
cows will eat.
