Live Stock Matters 
Conducted By Prof. F. C. Minkl.er 
under average conditions the farmer be¬ 
gins to feed some grains during this per¬ 
iod. It has beeu my experience that 
there has been no time during the lacta¬ 
tion period when a cow can be denied a 
reasonable amount of grains or concen¬ 
trates. It is relatively an easy matter 
to keep a c-ow in good flesh and good con¬ 
dition if she is fed regularly and con¬ 
sistently; but just as soon as one dis¬ 
continues the feed, expecting the cow to 
produce the maximum amount, he is lim¬ 
iting her ability to produce milk economi¬ 
cally. I would continue the feeding of 
grain throughout the entire lactation per¬ 
iod; then I should modify my grain 
ration and feed more heavily during the 
dry period. This practice simplifies your 
problem and will enable your cows to 
milk consistently throughout the year. 
In the absence of silage or pasture it 
might be necessary to resort to soiling 
crops or to the use of some succulent 
feed, such as beet pulp or malt sprouts. 
Allow the animals all of the hay that 
they will consume and utilize the grain 
in proportion to their daily production 
of milk. 
Save Your Ford 
Repair Dollars 
Most of the money you spend for repairs on your Ford car 
can easily be saved. 
Thousands of Ford owners throughout the country have 
found that Apco Shock Absorbers give their cars absolute 
protection from devastating road shocks, almost eliminate 
repair bills, and keep their Fords in working order all the 
time. 
Apco Shock Absorbers have won their success by actual per¬ 
formance. Made of heat-treated steel, their big 66-inch bee¬ 
hive coils absorb all jolts before they have a chance to do 
harm. Attached to the ends of Ford springs, they work with 
them instead of against them. 
Ask your dealer to let you try a set for ten 
days. Money back if not satisfied. Price, $20.00 
for set of four. If your dealer can’t supply 
you, we will ship direct on receipt of price.

Use of Beet Pulp 
I have 32 cows, milking 24; five fresh¬ 
ened the last three weeks. I am feeding 
them six quarts of beet feed, with one 
quart of middlings, twice daily. The 
other 19 cows freshened Inst. Fall and 
Winter. I feed them three quarts of the 
feed with one quart of middlings twice 
a day. They are making 075 lbs. of 
milk. My pasture is getting a little 
short. Would wet beet pulp given twice 
a day to the fresh cows keep up the (low 
of milk, about four quarts at one feed¬ 
ing; 1 'Would it be better to discontinue 
the middlings and feed oue quart of 
ground oats instead V w. w. B. 
It. 1ms been my experience that moist¬ 
ened beet pulp is more desirable than dry 
beet pulp in a ration. For this reason 
it seems to me that if you desire to feed 
beet pulp the best results would follow 
where moistened beet pulp supplemented 
a grain ration that did not carry any of 
the dry beet pulp. The addition of mid¬ 
dlings to the ration would not improve 
its palatahility or usefulness. They are 
relatively high in cost, and do not con¬ 
tribute as much energy as corn or hominy 
meal.
