Pig-freding Questions 
I have 19 big type Duroc Jersey pigs; 
12 are 10 weeks old and seven are five 
weeks old; they are still with the sows, 
and large for their age. They eat out of 
the trough, the same as their mothers do, 
I want to wean them now and put them 
on a self-feeder, l have No. 1 wheat and 
could sell it at $1.90 per bu.; rye is in 
the neighborhood of .SI per bu.; oats, 50c; 
chopping costs 25c per 100 lbs.; tankage, 
$2.90. j. fit. b.

You cannot afford to feed bogs whole 
wheat that is worth $1.30 a bushel, or 
slightly more than $40 per ton, when corn 
can be substituted as a source of energy 
at 50c per bu., or about lc per lb. A ton 
of corn is worth as much for feeding pigs, 
pound for pound, as wheat or rye; hence, 
if these products can be disposed of at 
the prices quoted, this exchange should 
be made. White middlings’, obtained 
either from wheat or rye, cau be pur¬ 
chased and used more economically than 
Improving Ration 
I have seven Holstein grade cows, one 
purebred bull, two calves, four months 
old, and three horses. I feed a mixed 
feed, I lb. to 3 lbs. milk. In addition to 
this, 1 mix with their feed, for each cow. 
about four quarts of moistened beet pulp. 
Then they have been given all of the hay. 
poor quality, that they would consume 
with a relish, sometimes cum stover. My 
cornstalks and liay will last about an¬ 
other week. I am offered Alfalfa hay at 
$20 per toil, and cornstalks at No per 
bundle. 1 sell about 4s quarts of milk 
a day; the cows freshened last August. 
With milk selling at To per quart I should 
like to feed so that 1 will come out about 
even. Could you suggest a way? Can 
beet pulp replace hay altogether? Can 
the grain ration be adjusted so that I may 
feed the least possible amount of rough- 
age? h. n. 
Flanders, N. ,T. 
It is unfortunate that you are short of 
roughage, and your only choice is to buy 
some Alfalfa at $20 per ton. Feet pulp 
cannot replace roughage entirely, al¬ 
though its use will greatly restrict the 
I would not think of 
returning to hand milking”- 
So says Mr. Bolmert, a De Laval milker user, shown 
above, who along with many other dairymen from thirty 
different states and Canada give their experiences with 
the De Laval Milker in the book shown to the right. 
Mr. Bolmert goes on to say, “My cows are also doing 
much better than they did by hand milking. They hold 
first place in the Rogue River Testing Association, and 
I have cut the time of milking by half."' 
There are now thousands of De Laval Milkers in use 
In all sections of the country, and practically all these 
users agree with Mr. Bolmert that the De Laval Milker 
increases production over any other way of milking, 
keeps the cows’ teats and udders in better condition, 
produces cleaner milk, saves time, and makes dairying 
more pleasant and profitable. 
A De Laval Milker soon pays for itself. If you are 
milking a herd of cows by hand or using an inferior 
milker, you are losing enough milk and time, and 
enough money in other ways, to pay for a De Laval.

pictures of cows, barns, etc., 
from De Laval milker users 
in thirty different states and 
in Canada. The pictures are 
accompanied by statements 
from these milker users con¬

only with the De Laval but 
with other milkers. The best

It also gives you an idea of 
how dairying is conducted

Rose Bradford, milking Shorthorn cow, owned by 
Summit, l’a. At six years -she produced 15,588 lbs 
amount of hay actually required. Alfalfa, 
though, at: $30 per ton would he cheaper 
than the pulp at $26. Flowevpr. both are 
excellent companion feeds. The pulp is 
rich iu lime, and it greatly eases and as¬ 
sures more complete digestion. Try 250 
lbs. cornmcal, 150 lbs. wheat bran. 100 
lbs. distillers’ or brewers' grains. 100 lbs. 
gluten feed. 150 lbs. oilmeal. and 150 lbs. 
buckwheat middlings. Add one per cent 
salt. Feed some moistened beet pulp 
with cornstalks and Alfalfa hay. Tf you 
let up on roughage and force your cows 
with concentrates, yon will surely invite 
udder trouble. 
either ground wheat or ground rye. There 
is nothing to be gained by grinding corn 
and cob meal for swine feeding. Actually 
digestion is depleted when any high fiber 
product, such as corncobs is incorporated 
in a ration for growing or fattening bogs. 
If the pigs weigh 50 lbs. they run shell 
I heir own corn, and I should neither shell 
nor grind the ear corn that is available 
for swine feeding. 
Since your tankage analyzes only 45 
per cent of protein, it is well to use as 
much as 30 per cent of this product in 
a ration; that is, for each 100 lbs. of 
corn consumed by the pigs you should 
feed 10 lbs, of tankage. I should n«u 
use more than 20 per cent of the mid¬ 
dlings in feeding pigs of this age ; hence 
a ration consisting of TO lbs. of ear corn. 
20 lbs. of white middlings and 10 lbs. of 
digester tankage would be sufficient for 
steady growth and satisfactory gains, If 
desirable, some of the corn, perhaps 15 
per cent, could be replaced with ground 
oats and could be fed during the growing 
period. The ground oats, white mid¬ 
dlings and tankage could be mixed to¬ 
gether and fed iu the form of a thick 
slop. I should feed 1 he milk separately, 
for when it is mixed with tin* combina¬ 
tion of grains and allowed to stand 
around in barrels it becomes sour and 
distasteful. Dilute the milk with water 
in sufficient quantity so that all of the 
pigs can be supplied with some of this 
product as a drink, and let them cat all 
the rest of tho ration rather than drink 
it diluted as a thin swill. Keep before 
the pigs at all 'times a combination of 
boncineal and salt, mixed in the propor¬ 
tion of seven parts of bone meal to three 
parts of common salt. 
After the sliotes weigh 100 lbs. I 
should eliminate the oats and middlings 
and feed entirely upon ear corn and di- extensively of till 
gester tankage. The latter can be mixed consisting of eqm 
with the diluted skim-milk and fed in the and cormnenl, to 
form of a thin slop. As the pigs ap- eight per cent of 
proacli the fattening or finishing period he safely fed to 
the amount of 'tankage can be reduced to course the stale I 
5 per cent in case it is fed in conjunction before being fed, 
with a small amount of skim-milk. Yel- to the pigs in th
