NOT A FAILURE 
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. 
There may be some better criterion of the value 
of an article than the “test of time,” but if 
there is we do not know of it. 
Kendall’s Spavin Cure 
has stood this “test of time”and is more popular 
to-day than ever before. Unequalled for Spavin, 
Ring Bone, Curb, Splint and all forms of Lame¬ 
ness. Head the unsought endorsement of others 
and then act for yourself.

CORN MEAL FOR COWS. 
My cows are getting, besides what good 
hay they want, six quarts of carrots and 
sugar beets mixed and two quarts of mixed 
feed witl) also two quarts of cornmeal per 
cow a day. If feeding the meal Is not 
profitable, what would you substitute for 
it? L. H. R. 
Torrington, Conn. 
If we were buying the cornmeal rath¬ 
er than raising it we should stop at once 
and use in its place a better feed, that 
is, one containing more protein, as our 
hay and roots would supply us plenty of 
carbohydrates and fat and not enough 
protein. Your ration now will analyze 
about as follows:

We should prefer gluten feed or meal, 
cotton-seed meal, linseed meal or dried 
corn distillers’ grains to the cornmeal. 
As to which one I should use, would de¬ 
pend upon price asked for the different 
feeds. Using a mixture of 100 pounds of 
mixed feed and 200 or 300 pounds of one 
of the other feeds, and feeding five to 
eight pounds per cow, would, I believe, 
give you much better results, and would 
not cost any more. Your letter gives 
one the idea that all your cows are fed 
alike. This is a poor plan, we think. 
Much better to give to cows according to 
their appetite, size of cow and milk 
yield. A row fresh in milk will use more 
grain to better advantage, that is, at a 
profit than one further along in milk. 
The feed we should buy to replace the 
cornmeal would be the one that would 
give us the most digestible protein for 
the leart money. This can readily be 
found by comparing prices with amounts 
of digestible food found in each.

BUSINESS HENS. 
I send you the egg report of my 
brother-in-law’s hens for the year 1903. 
They kept Brown Leghorns, 150 hens 
last year, from which they kept a strict 
account of all eggs sold for each month. 
No account was kept of eggs used or 
set, but they raised and sold $53.84 
worth of chickens. They sold 1,919 
dozen and eight eggs, which is an av¬ 
erage of 153 43-75 eggs per hen for the 
year. The eggs were sold at an average 
price of 16 cents per dozen, making 
$307.14. The feed cost $151.11, which 
subtracted from $307.14 leaves $156.03 
clear gain from 150 hens. They are 
keeping 180 hens this year. Here is the 
result by months: January, 472; Feb¬ 
ruary, 1,159; March, 2,745; April, 3,075; 
May, 3,066; June, 2,387; July, 1,958; Au¬ 
gust, 2,289; September, 2,400; October, 
2,171; November, 896; December, 41S; 
total for year 1903, 23,036. G. j. b.

The Dairy' Outlook. —There was too 
much butter held in cold storage last 
Summer, and ihe whole dairy interest 
is being seriously affected by that fact. 
Some are inclined to take a pessimistic 
view of the dairy outlook but I advise 
all such to keep up their courage. The 
trend of the milk, butter and cheese 
market has been steadily upward for 
some time, and the present check can 
be easily explained on the theory of 
“luck.” We had an unusually wet and 
cold Summer last year. Two of its re¬ 
sults we can easily understand. One is 
an unusual amount of fresh pasturage, 
and consequent increased production of 
milk and butter. The other is a vastly 
decreased demand for cream in all the 
great markets of the country. This 
cream, which in normal seasons would 
have been consumed at the ice-cream 
counters, had to he turned into butter, 
augmenting the normal production of 
butter to a considerable extent. Should 
we be so “lucky” as to have a hot, dry 
Summer this year, I see no causes at 
work to prevent the continued upward 
trend of the market for dairy products 
after this temporary and easily explain¬ 
ed setback. al 
SAVED 
A Billion Dollars to the Dairy Farmers 
and Buttermakers ot the World. 
That’s what the DE LAYAL CREAM SEPARA¬ 
TORS are estimated to have done since their inven¬ 
tion twenty-five years ago. From creamery to farm 
their use has spread all over the world, unt 1 now 
more than 500,000 machines are in use. No other 
invention ever did nearly so much for dairying. 
Have you had your share of this great saving ? 
If not there could be no better time to get in line for 
it. Don’t let any more of it go to waste.
