LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Corn Silage Substitutes 
I have a dairy of 10 cows. My corn 
crop is a failure, so consequently 1 shall 
not be able to till silo with corn. I have 
a good crop of buekwhout. and wondered 
if it would pay to put it in silo, or would 
it pay best to thrash the crop, us the 
straw will be practically worthless for 
feed when thrashed. If in your judg¬ 
ment this buckwheat would make silage, 
please advise me when to cut it—when 
quite green or fairly ripe. F. c. it. 
{New York. 
I have had uo experience in ensiling 
buckwheat, but am of the opinion that it 
would best be ripened and thrashed, 
rather than put into the silo. Feeds of 
this character ferment intensely, and un¬ 
less they are mixed with some relatively 
dry product the resulting silage is neither 
palatable uor nutritious. The ouly sub¬ 
stitute that I know of for silage under 
the conditions described is beet pulp. If 
this product is moistened for 12 hours 
before feeding, and then fed in conjunc¬ 
tion with a ration that is complete and 
palatable, it will be possible for you to 
make milk economically during the com¬ 
ing ‘Winter. f. c. m.

Composition of Feeds 
Would you please tell me if the mixed 
feed one buys is composed of equal parts 
bran and middlings? F. D. 
Rhode Island. 
No, the term “mixed feed" does not 
necessarily mean that the mixture con¬ 
sists of equal parts of bran and mid¬ 
dlings. It is a term applied to combina¬ 
tions carrying varying amounts of screen¬ 
ings. and oftentimes more variety of 
wheat feeds are included under this term 
than the name itself might signify. 
Strictly sppakiug, mixed feed applies to 
combinations of ingredients that are 
brought into balance by utilizing products 
originating with a variety of grains and 
concentrates. 
There is an attempt being made by a 
group of co-operating agencies suggest; 
ting that all formula* should be open and 
tbe exact amount of each ingredient used 
identified. While this sounds very nice 
in theory, it does not work out satisfac¬ 
torily in practice, for it give the unscrup¬ 
ulous manufacturer an opportunity to 
modify his formula at will, for there is 
no definite means of identifying the pro¬ 
portion of ingredients used after* they 
have been mixed. Hence a feed that sells 
on its merits has a much better chance of 
making good and being standard and use¬ 
ful than one sold on its formula. 
It is my belief that :f it is wheat by¬ 
products that you desire, then it would 
be to your advantage to buy the straight 
bran and white middlings, rather than to 
seek a combination under the form of 
mixed feed. F. c. M. 
Plenty of tempered water is necessary for a maximum flow of milk. A big producer 
hasn’t the capacity to take all the water she requires in only two drinks a day. 
Tests in many practical dairies show a 25 to 40 percent milk increase with Louden 
Water Bowls. Less than half of this pays for Louden Water Bowls — the first 
winter —the remainder is net profit—for years and years to come. 
Louden Bowls give cows plenty of water day and night. Eliminate that disagree¬ 
able winter chore of driving cows out to water twice a day. Louden Water Bowls 
have many exclusive superior features. The only bowl with a strainer in the valve. 
Prevents entrance of dirt to clog valve. Cannc 
Valveseat. valve stem and strainer are brass—more expensive 
yet proof against rusting, sticking and trouble through long 
years of service. Valve to each bowl kept closed by brass 
spring. Water cannot flow back from one bowl to another. 
Spreading disease through water is impossible. 
Louden bowls are easily detached by hand. (See ill us. 
trations) Absolutely rigid when in place. Cows can- 
not budge them. Smoothly finished and shaped inside 
to fit cow’s muzzle comfortably. No place to hold 
dirt or disease germs. Easily installed in any barn 
with any kind oi stalls—no expert plumbing needed, 
Only A 1 Quality is built into Louden Bam equipment.

isfactory service. Louden it always the cheapest.

different sizes, atnl are now very much 
used in both dresses and millinery. Jet 
uailheads in half-inch size, threaded to 
form a bar. make an effective center for 
a flat bow on a hat, or at the fastening 
of a belt. There is a great, deal of steel 
used this Autumn, beads, spangles and 
thread. The high-grade steel ornaments, 
warranted not to tnrpish. are quite ex¬ 
pensive. Buckles and brooches in buckle 
form hold the folds of draped skirts. The 
buckle pius and brooches are also used 
on bats, and to fasten high collars. 
Tunics of silk Spanish luce are quite 
inexpensive, and worn over a silk slip 
they make a complete costume with very 
little trouble. They ernne in a number 
of colors, as well ns black. 
Among fashionable separate skirts to 
wear with short jackets of fur or fur 
cloth are circular skirts of satin, and 
handsome models of matelnssc, velvet and 
velveteen. Pleated circular skirts in wool 
Canton crepe, cheeks and plaids are fa¬ 
vored in woolen skirts. Pleated skirts of 
satin and crepe de chine, or draped mod¬ 
els. are offered for wear with smart over¬ 
blouses. For out-of-door wear we see 
straight skirts of vivid patterns in soft 
woolen, heavy tweeds and blanket cloth. 
Readymade waist linings are often a 
great convenience, but it will be found 
that the prevailing shape, with snug- 
fitting belt, does not make a convenient 
lit under the loose long-waisted dresses 
now popular. A liniug must be made of 
Brussels net. silk mull, f’bina silk or soft- 
linishcd muslin that will follow the lines 
of the dress. The lining should always 
be put in so that it can be taken out 
easily when cleaning is necessary. A short 
sleeve set in the lining is an advantage 
where the dress material is not transpar¬ 
ent. as it keeps the upper part of the 
sleeve clean, aud also provides a founda¬ 
tion for the dress shields.
