Feeding Three Cows 
Will you give me a ration for three 
cows on pasture? They are giving about 
GO lbs. of milk per day. Wo are making 
butter. I have corn fodder and mixed 
hay. I am feeding about 150 lbs. of feed 
per week. e. c. 
New York. 
I suggest that while your cows are on 
pasture you feed a combination of equal 
parts of ground oats, bran, linseed meal 
and gluten meal. This is a simple com¬ 
bination, and if the pasture is palatable 
will give you excellent results. You ean 
mix the ingredients in any amount de¬ 
sired, and it might be well to mix a fresh 
batch each week, although nothing is 
gained by this practice if you have stor¬ 
age facilities. 
In case you decide to use one of the 
recognized brands of mixed feed I would 
suggest TO lbs. of mixed feed, 15 of corn 
and 15 of oats. This would simplify your 
feeding problem, and will give you better 
results on account of its variety, uni¬ 
formity and increased palatability. Un¬ 
fortunately there is great variation in 
standard products and frequently one is 
unable to get the ingredients desired. 
This is why 'the mixed feed idea has 
gained in popularity during recent years. 
Milk Ration for Fall and Winter 
Would you give me a balanced ration 
on pasture for this Fall and Winter with 
RedJtop and Timothy hay and corn fod¬ 
der? c. D. 
New York. 
For your cows that are on pasture I 
would use a mixture consisting of equal 
parts of oornmcal, ground oats and gluten 
meal. When they are put into Winter 
quarters l should simplify the combina¬ 
tion to consist of 200 lbs. hominy, 200 
lbs. bran, 150 lbs. linseed meal. 150 lbs. 
cottonseed meal, 100 lbs. oats, 100 lbs. 
gluten meal. 
Since you have a poor grade of rough- 
age, I have increased the amount of pro¬ 
tein, for it is necessary to feed a mixture 
of this character in the absence of a good 
roughage or silage. Moistened beet pulp 
should be fed to supply succulence in 
case you do not have mangels or silage. 
You ought to feed 300 lbs. of grain for 
each 100 lbs. of milk produced, and iu 
addition let the cows have all of the 
roughage that they will clean up with 
relish. 
Feeding Apple Pulp 
Is it practicable to feed apple pulp to 
cows, milked for cream, the pulp being 
fresh every two or three days? If so. 
should it be fed alone or in combination 
with something else? w. j. m. 
Massachusetts. 
There is very little nutriment iu apple 
pulp and, while it appears to be palatable 
for a short time, it is my experience that 
it bus the objectionable quality of short¬ 
ening the lactation period. Cows dry up 
when the apple pomace is taken from 
them, and it is impossible to return their 
flow to normal production. Then, again, 
one often makes the mistake of feeding an 
excessive amount of pulp aud forcing the 
cow to subsist on this material, to the 
exclusion of concentrates. This is un¬ 
wise, aud can result only in disappoint¬ 
ment aud failure. If the apple pomace 
is fresh every two or three days, nud is 
not fed to the cows in extravagant 
amounts, it can be safely fed. However, 
I am not so sure that it can be wisely fed. 
Uuder no circumstances should it be fed 
alone. Its function is more of a stimu¬ 
lant than as a source of dry matter or 
digestible matter. If extravagant 
amounts are used the milk or butter is 
very likely to have an undesirable flavor 
and one will experience difficulty in 
churning the cream. My observation is 
that the best place for apple pomace is iu 
the field as a fertilizer, or it can be used 
by pigs if they are fed all of the corn 
that they will eat during the time that 
the pomace is available. 
You will get the impression from this 
reply that I do not think very much of 
apple pomace, and this is the interpreta¬ 
tion that I have tried to submit.

No matter how well yon feed them, pigs foil of 
worms can’t thrive. They remain thin and scrawny, 
don’t grow and are easy victims of disease. The best 
remedy to drive oat the worms, aid digestion and 
help young stock to gain faster, is Wormix. It is an 
improved and concentrated worm destroyer and stock 
tonic—stock eat it readily. Get 16 Iba. of 
add 85 lbs. dairy salt; makes 100 Iba. of medicated salt 
that heats any you ever fed. Give your stock free 
access to ft and Bee it drive out the worms, sid diges¬ 
tion and flt them for market in least time.

“It Has Always Been Satisfactory” 
Doesn’t THAT about tell the whole story ? 
“WE think that the Burrell is the best milker on the market. It is simpler than 
other machines of the better class. We used a.before, but the Burrell 
is much better. It has always been satisfactory, and we don’t see how it could be 
improved upon. Some dairymen seem to think that, after a few years of machine 
milking, their cows might not give as much milk, but we can’t see anything in that. 
Anyhow, when it comes to hand milking, ‘nothing doing’. With the shortage of 
the ri&ht kind of help, a milker is a necessity.”—Harry Huff, Andover, New Jersey. 
Mr. Huff and his son, Leslie, have been milking 20 to 32 cows 
with their Burrell Milkers. This winter they will increase the 
herd to about 45 cows. If you had a Burrell milker, you too might 
keep more cows. Send for catalog today. Address Dept 20.
