Bag Balm is greatly valued by cow owners everywhere 
because it is perfect insurance against the troumes that 
attack the milk yield through the udder or teats. 
The slightest cut, bruise, chap or sore will ma e a cow 
restless and cause a “holding-up” of the milk. Besides, many 
serious ailments result from neglecting what may seem like 
very slight injuries of these milk-producing organs. 
Any inflammation, soreness, congestion or hardened tissue 
Will quicklv heal and become soft and normal through the 
penetrating action of Bag Balm. Healthy tissue and normal 
circulation give the cow comfort and restore a full nulk-flow^. 
Caked Bag responds promptly to application of tIiis omt- 
ment; equally valuable in treating Bunches and Cow 1 ox.

Live Stock Matters 
Conducted By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Quick Hay Crop 
I am short of hay for my work team 
that is in use every day; also short of 
pasture for my cows. I want to sow 
something that will mature quickly iu tin* 
Spring. Do you recommend Sudan grass 
as a good roughage for horses and cows? 
I wish to sow a small Held of oats and 
Sweet clover for hay if it will mature as 
quickly as the Sudan grass. I want to 
cut the oats and Sweet clover when ’oats 
are in the milk, before the grains turn 
hard. w. s. w. 
The standard roughage for work horses 
is Timothy hay. but where limited 
amounts of clover Or Alfalfa hay are 
mixed with the Timothy one may reduce 
substantially the amount of grain fed. 
Oat straw can he fed iu limited quan¬ 
tities, hilt when this roughage is used the 
amount of grain must be substantially in¬ 
creased. Under average farm conditions, 
where horses work every day, a fairly 
safe rule to follow is to allow 1 lb. of 
grain and 1 lb. of hay daily for each 100 
lbs. of live weight of the animal. To il¬ 
lustrate: A work horse weighing 1.200 
lbs. should he fed 12 lbs. of grain and 12 
lbs. of hay. Of course, where the ani¬ 
mal does hard work, the amount of grain 
should be increased and the amount of 
roughage decreased, likewise, where the 
work is not heavy, it would be permissible 
to increase tbe roughage and decrease the 
grain. 
As to a suitable ration for horses, a 
combination of seven parts of oats, three 
parts of corn, two parts of bran and one 
part of oilmeal would give good results. 
If Alfalfa hay is available, then corn and 
Alfalfa bay w ill serve. Sometimes a mix¬ 
ture consisting of five parts of oats and 
two parts of bran is preferable, especially 
during hot weather, when corn scents to 
induce undue perspiration in animals. 
As a source of roughage for work 
horses, one that is suitable for use during 
tbe Winter mouths, there is nothing that 
will yield more and produce better results 
when fed than oats and Canada field peas. 
Seed a mixture of equal parts, by meas¬ 
ure, of oats and Canada field peas at the 
rate of three bushels per acre. Drill this 
combination as early in the Spring a* 
possible on a seed bed that has been well 
prepared. The crop should he harvest'd 
just as the oats are in the milk stage and 
the peas nicely in blossom. This com¬ 
bination will yield more dry matter per 
acre than Timothy or mixed hay and. 
when nicely cured, makes an excellent 
roughage for work or idle liorsps. As to 
the appropriate pasture for dairy cows. I 
am not strong for Sudan grass. [ should 
prefer a mixture of Timothy. Bed-top and 
Red clover. Reeded at the rate of 25 lbs. 
per acre. It can be seeded with or 
without a nurse crop, but if seeded in the 
Spring it should be accompanied with a 
nurse crop, such as oats or barley. A 
bushel of oats is sufficient t<> use iu con¬ 
junction with a mixture of this character. 
The oats and peas can be used as si soiling 
crop for tbe cow if desired, or if it- is 
cropped as bay it will make excellent feed 
for cows during the Winter months. Tbe 
oats and peas should be seeded as early in 
the Spring as possible. If seeded later 
and allowed to develop during hot weath¬ 
er the pea vines are apt. to be infested 
with lice, which would destroy the leaves 
of the plants. 
Rations Deficient in Protein 
I am milking a grade Guernsey cow two 
years old lust October, bad her first calf 
dropped early in November. Sin* is giving 
around .‘10 llis. milk daily, and 1 wish to 
keep her fop a family cow and feed her 
such a ration as best adapted to milk 
production, as well as growth. I am feed¬ 
ing grain at the ratio of 1 11*, for each 
.‘114 lbs. milk, as follows: 100 lbs. rolled 
barley and 200 lbs. mill run. with 3 lbs, 
beet, pulp daily, fed morning and evening 
after soaking iu water 12 hours, and all 
Alfalfa bay she will clean up. It is sug¬ 
gested that 1 substitute the following for 
the grain ration, feeding the same quan¬ 
tity as the other: 400 lbs. mill ruu. 200 
lbs. cornmeal. 200 lbs. rolled barley. 200 
lbs-, rolled oats. Which would make the 
best balanced ration.? Feed prices vary, 
but at this time are ruimfug about as fol¬ 
lows per 100 llis.: Mill run, $1.20; corn- 
meal. $2.15; rolled barley. $100; rolled 
oats. $2; middlings, $1.00: bran, $1; beet 
puln, $ 1 .$5 : linseed oilmeal, X.‘» : cotton 
seed meal, $2.70. Sometimes the oilmeal 
is difficult to get. and later in th*> season 
the same is true of beet pulp. We cannot 
get gluten feed. I have to buy everything, 
excepting part of the year have plenty of 
green clover. NT. o. 
< h-egon. 
Both of the proposed grain mixtures 
are deficient iu protein. The addition of 
200 lbs. of oilmeal or 200 lbs. of cotton¬ 
seed meal to tbe latter ration would bring 
it into balance, while the addition of 150 
lbs. of oilmeal to the first combination 
would be satisfactory. Barley in your 
territory is used to replace corn, and it 
takes this task very efficiently. However, 
a ration consisting entirely of barley a nil 
bran would not give tbe best results, al¬ 
though an abundance of Alfalfa bay 
would correct any deficiencies. I would 
suggest the following ingredients: Rolled 
barley, 200 lbs. ; wheat, bran or mill run. 
150 lbs.; rolled oats, 100 lbs.; linseed 
meal. 100 lbs.; cottonseed meal. 50 lbs. 
Feed 1 lb. of this jiixture for each M*4 
lbs. of milk produced per day during the 
lactation period. When the cow is dry, 
feed equal parts of ground oats, ground 
barley, wheat bran, and oilmeal. Alfalfa 
hay is to be fed every day. and moistened 
beet pulp should be fed during the’entire 
lactation period. 
Feeding Stale Bread; Ration for Family 
Cow 
Is skim-milk a good buy at $1 per 40-qt. 
can? Is stale bread at $1 a bag that 
holds 100 lbs. of middlings desirable for 
feeding laying hens and young pigs for 
family use? 1 can get all I want of it. 
lint I thought it a little expensive to feed. 
Would you give me a ration for a family 
row due to freshen in July? 1 am now 
feeding mixed clover bay once a day. and 
ground cornstalks once a day. I feed for 
grain one quart of dried beet pulp soaked 
in water, with three quarts of dairy feed 
at each feed time a day. h. ,t. d. 
New Jersey. 
Stale bread has about one-half the 
feeding value of ordinary wheat mid¬ 
dlings. It is higher in moisture, less pal¬ 
atable. and somewhat bulkier, and conse¬ 
quently less desirable for use in a ration. 
If used it should be snaked and mixed 
with cornmeal and fed to pigs iu the form 
of a thick mash approaching the consis¬ 
tency of buttermilk. Might pounds of di¬ 
gester tankage should be added to each 
100 lbs. of tbe stale bread and cornmeal 
combination. On a dry basis. 0 llis of 
corn, 5 lbs. of stale bread, and 1 lb. of 
digester tankage would he a satisfactory 
combination. Skim-milk at 2V.- cents a 
quart would be relatively expensive, and 
you could not afford to feed very much of 
this product. However, since milk does 
correct deficiencies and is especially suit¬ 
able for growing animals, you might feed 
as much as 3 lbs. of milk with each pound 
of grain on a dry basis that you supplied 
to your growing animals. 
In order to obtniu meat of the highest 
quality, pigs should gain rapidly and 
regularly in weight, and for this reason it 
is advisable to provide the yoiiugsters 
with a ration that is complete and pal¬ 
atable. You have sized up tin* situation 
correctly, for under average conditions 
you ought to be able to purchase both the 
bread and the skim-uiilk at a more reason¬ 
able cost. 
As to the ration suitable for feeding 
the cow that is due to freshen next .Tilly. 
I would suggest the combination of equal 
parts of cornmeal. ground oats, wheat 
bran and oilmeal. It is not necessary to 
supply the moistened beet pulp to the 
cow during I be dry period, though it does 
provide succulence and should be used 
during (he lactation period. Allow tbe 
cow about six weeks rest period and feed 
this combination generously up until 
calving time. Feed it in combination with 
Alfalfa or clover hay and insist that the 
cow gain iu weight during the dry period. 
Tt is quite as essential t<> feed the grain 
during the rest period as it is during the 
lactation period, especially if one desires 
the cow to do well during her next milk¬ 
ing period. If the cow now seems rela¬ 
tively high iu flesh it might be well to 
increase tbe protein by adding 15 per 
cent of gluten feed to the grain ration 
proposed. Feed generously of some leafy 
roughage and add 2 per ceut of salt to the 
mixture.
