MILKERS PAY 
Every cow in your herd can be made to pro¬ 
duce up to her full capacity 
—if you look well to her ration, her health, 
her appetite and her digestion. 
Balance the ration. Feed bran, oats and 
corn, or their equivalent, cottonseed or linseed 
meal, clover hay, alfalfa, silage—pasture in 
season. 
Remember, the better the appetite the 
greater the food consumption, the greater the 
milk production. 
DR. HESS STOCK TONIC 
Keeps Cows Healthy Makes Cows Hungry 
It conditions cows to turn their ration of 
grain, hay and fodder into pails of milk. 
It contains Nux Vomica, greatest of all 
nerve tonics. Quassia produces appetite, aids 
digestion. Salts of Iron keeps the blood rich. 
There are Laxatives for the bowels, Diuretics 
for the kidneys, to help throw off the waste 
materials which so often clog the cow’s system. 
Excellent for cows at calving. Feed it be¬ 
fore freshing. Good alike for all cattle. 
Tell your dealer how many cows you have. 
He has a package to suit. GUARANTEED.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Dairying and Farm Fertility 
I own a lfiO-nerp farm in a very good 
dairying section of Putnam Cnuuty, N. 
Y. The land is fertile atui well watered 
and has been kept in the best of cultiva¬ 
tion. The property is equipped for dairy 
farming, having large euw barn, milking 
machine, milk cooling room. etc. For 
special reasons I sold off nil my cows two 
years ago. and 1 want to know what to 
do now to keep up my farm and not lose 
money. Is it advisable to buy cows now 
around the prevailing price of $100 each? 
Won't I lose as much through the les¬ 
sened value of my rows in the Spring as 
I'll make on the milk? But if I don’t 
buy cows and get fertilizer from them, 
how can I keep up my land? I have fine 
pasture on the farm, and cut ,10 toms of 
nay from the place, which of course I 
don’t want to sell, and thus have nothing 
to put back on the laud. Would it be 
better to buy heifers or small calves and 
just raise them over the Winter to turn 
my hay into manure? r. s. 
New York. 
If it is your desire to engage only tem¬ 
porarily in the dairy business I should 
advise the purchase of heifer calves or 
yearlings. These youngsters will con¬ 
sume your roughage and convert the hay 
and corn into manure that can he spread 
on the tillable land. They can he turned 
to pasture in the Spring and sold as 
springers when they are old enough or 
ready to freshen. The buying of cows at 
present prices and the disposing of them 
in the Spring would involve the very ob¬ 
jection you mention, viz., that their de¬ 
preciation would be quite as much as any 
profit that might accumulate from the 
sale of milk during the Winter. On the 
other hand, if you desire to go into the 
dairy busiuess and stay in the dairy 
business I believe that the man who stays 
by dairying through thick and thin will 
always in the end come out victorious. 
It is the man who goes iu when prices 
are high and is forced to sell out when 
prices are low that is the disturbing fac¬ 
tor in the dairy business. 
While it is true that milk is relatively 
low in price and that there appears to 
be a surplus of this product, it is never¬ 
theless true that there is an ample dif¬ 
ferential between the cost of feed and 
the priee of milk for the man who is 
well established iu the dairy business. It 
is the inexperienced and inefficient man 
•who must eventually get out of the 
business. 
If you have excellent pasture and good 
housing facilities il is my belief that 
(here is good money in assembling and 
growing young stock. The labor involved 
is not great, and if the heifers are mated 
to a bull of good breeding and are bred 
so as to freshen when dairymen want to 
buy dairy cows one can always find 
buyers. 
Dairy farming will always survive and 
prevail in eastern territory and iu the 
section where your farm is located. It 
is the only system of farming that will 
equalize the labor load, maintain the fer¬ 
tility and provide a constant income for 
the dairyman. It cannot be successful, 
however, unless the herd is rigidly culled 
and only profitable producing cows are 
maintained. The crime of the dairy in¬ 
dustry today is not necessarily a surplus 
of milk or the low price of milk, but 
rather a surfeit of poor cows fed on poor 
feeds and improperly cared for during 
their dry period. I would not, under any 
circumstances, sell the hay and other 
products off the farm and attempt to 
maintain the fertility through purchasing 
commercial fortilizers. 
Improving a Ration 
In the following ration for Cows could 
I substitute eormneal for the gluten and 
hominy, and in what proportion? If not, 
could you give me a ration that docs use 
eormneal. 1 have stalks and clover ha.v ; 
200 lbs. hominy. 200 lbs. bran, 110 lbs. 
linseed meal. loO lbs, cottonseed, 100 lbs. 
oats, 100 lbs. gluten. fi.tr. 
Ira, N. V. 
It would be feasible to substitute Oorn- 
meal for the hominy, and if it is desired 
to eliminate the gluten, then I should in¬ 
crease ihe* cottonseed meal to 1T-» lbs. 
and the linseed meal to 150 lbs. Even 
this ration would be rather deficient in 
■protein. A better combination would 
consist of 250 lbs. eormneal. 200 lbs. 
bran. 150 lbs. linseed. 200 lbs. cottonseed 
meal. 200 lbs. oats. This to be fed in 
conjunction with some legume bay.
