Live Stock Matters 
By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Keeping Cows on Shares 
Where the owner claims all the pure¬ 
bred young stock, what would be a fair 
share of the milk for the tenant on a 
dairy farm? B. M. 
Pennsylvania. 
The conditions that you have proposed 
are unusual in dairy districts. Generally 
the owner and the caretaker share 
equally so far as providing feed is con¬ 
cerned. and likewise share equally in the 
net returns for the milk. In this case, 
where the owner provides purebred cows 
and claims all of the young stock, it is 
my opinion that he should receive one- 
third of the net returns from the milk. 
In other words, if you sold $1(10 worth 
of milk, and provide all of the care, feed 
and veterinarian items, you should re¬ 
ceive $06 and the owner $33. We are 
assuming that the animals are purebred 
and that the calves are to be raised and 
turned over to the owner of the animals. 
Vast stretches of undeveloped fertile apric u’.tural 
land of the highest productiveness await the set¬ 
tler in Western Canada. The land possesses the 
same character of soil as that which has produced 
the high quality of cereals that have carried off 
the world’s premier honors so many times. 
Native grasses arc Rich and Abundant- 
Cattle fattens on them without any grain being fed. 
The place for the man with limited capital to 
overcome difficulties of high priced land or the 
burden of heavy rents is in Western Canada— 1 
where land is cheap, where a home may be made 
at low cost, and where dairying, mixed farming and 
stock raising are particularly profitable.

Making dairying 
more pleasant ana 
profitable for thousands of farmers 
—“I cannot understand the 
dairyman who will go on 
milking by hand when he 
could cut expenses by using 
a De Laval.” 
We could go on quoting from 
hundreds of satisfied users who 
are practically unanimous in 
their agreement that the 
De Laval gets more milk from 
the cows, produces cleaner milk, 
saves time, and makes dairying 
more pleasant and profitable. 
You use a binder to harvest 
your grain, cut grass with a 
mower, spread manure with a 
spreader and drive to town in 
an auto—why milk by hand 
when you can do it better with a 
De Laval? Sold on such easy 
terms it will pay for itself— 
send for full information. 
More and more people are 
finding out what a wonderful 
help the De Laval Milker is in 
putting more pleasure and profit 
into the dairy business. 
—“Could not get along with¬ 
out my De Laval Milker.” 
—“My cows never did so well 
as they have since I in¬ 
stalled my De Laval.” 
—“The way cows take to the 
De Laval Milker is won¬ 
derful.” 
—“I use the De Laval for 
purebred test work with 
perfect satisfaction.” 
—“We have two hours more a 
day to work in the field since 
using a De Laval Milker.” 
—“I would not try to milk 
without a De Laval if I had 
only six cows.”

A Practical Ration 
I am a pleased reader of your paper. 
We have n large dairy. We have feed 
consisting of gluten, including oilmen!, 
cottonsood in only ottts two-tinrds bushel, 
wheat one-third, ground, together with 
X„. 1 silage and no hay. I would like 
vour idea of the best milk-producing ra¬ 
tion that can he obtained, which will give 
the greatest amount of milk at the least 
cost. " r ' 
New York. 
If you desire a ration carrying 22 or 
24 per cent protein, a shovel mixture con¬ 
sisting of: 3O0 lbs. comment. 300 lbs. 
gluten feed. 200 lbs. bran. 200 lbs. of 43 
per cent cottonseed men], will serve your 
purpose. By replacing 150 lbs. of the 
cornmeal with 150 lbs. of ground buck¬ 
wheat. or buckwheat middlings, you would 
increase the protein and improve the 
quality of your ration.

Leaking Silo Pit 
Will vou tell me how I can stop a 
leak in silo pit? My pit is 2 ft. bottom, 
about 8 in. thick, but. the liquid leaks out. 
I have been told that by using cement, 
stone dust, and lime it can be made tight. 
IIow would a coating of tar or asphalt 
work wilh a coating of cement to cover it? 
Espcraneo. N, Y. g. t. p. 
I would suggest that the concrete sur¬ 
faces of the pit be thoroughly cleaned by 
the use of a wire brush ami dilute acid 
(hydrochloric 1. Use n long-handled brush 
to prevent getting the hands in the acid, 
as it will color the hands and is unpleas¬ 
ant. After cleaning roughen the surface 
and rinse Iborotighly with clear water, 
removing every trace of acid. To the 
cleaned surface apply a coating of cement 
paint made from clear cement and water, 
mixed about like cream, and on this place 
cement plaster mixed in the proportion 
of one part cement to l 1 /^ parts clean 
sand. R. H. S.

Lice and Mites 
We have found that one application 
of carbolineuui on the perches in the 
poultry-house will keep the chickens free 
from red mites for .two years. A first- 
class louse powder cu"n be made by mixing 
Vj pt. carbolineum with 4 lbs. white mid¬ 
dlings or red dog. Hither dust the hens 
one at a time or mix this powder with 
their dust bath. We have found a sure 
cure for cannibalism with little chicks. 
.Tust apply common roof paint to the in¬ 
jured chick, and also put a little paint 
on several other chicks. , o. l. p.
