OAT STRAW FOR BEDDING SWINE. 
On page 43, under the heading “More 
Swine Queries,” Mr. Huson favors cut 
wheat or rye straw for bedding never 
oat straw. I would like to know what 
objection he has to oat straw. 
Nova Scotia. h. d. s. 
One of the objections to oat straw for 
bedding for swine is that it becomes 
sour and damp quickly, and unless 
changed very frequently is liable to 
cause the skin of the pigs to become 
irritated and sore. Except in the case 
of sows with litters of small pigs I don’t 
know that there is any great advantage 
in using cut straw, calvin j. huson. 
MALT SPROUTS FOR PIGS. 
Will you give me some idea of the value 
of malt sprouts from the brewery? What 
is it worth for pig feed? What should 
be fed with it to get good results in growth? 
Greeneastle, Ind. d. c. a. 
I have never fed malt sprouts to pigs, 
and cannot find any records of this feed 
having been used by any of the experi¬ 
ment stations for this purpose. How¬ 
ever, this being a good, wholesome, suc¬ 
culent, nitrogenous food I can see no 
reason why it should not produce good 
results when fed to swine in small quan¬ 
tities in connection with shorts and corn- 
meal or ground barley. c. s. G. 
Cement Chicken Houses. 
J. R. 13., Merchantville, N. J .—My frame 
chicken house is too small. I am think¬ 
ing of building a new one of cement blocks 
or concrete. I shall want a feed store¬ 
house at one end. We use now 150 bush¬ 
els of wheat and about same bulk of 
other feed yearly. Can such a house be 
built sufficiently dry for poultry, and to 
enable me to purchase a year's supply of 
feed and be safe in storing it? Chicken 
house proper to be 200 feet long, and one 
story, but feed house to be two-story. 
Can any reader give me any information 
on this subject? I would appreciate very 
much the opinion of poultrymen on this 
question. 
Ans.— We would all like to hear from 
poultrymen about this. We would not 
use cement, blocks, but build of lumber 
and building paper. 
Feeding Experience Wanted. —Is cot¬ 
ton-seed meal a safe feed for cows that are 
soon to calve? Will it cause abortion? 
How much cotton-seed meal can be fed 
daily to a cow in full flow of milk? How 
much would it be safe to give a cow com¬ 
ing in in course of month or six weeks? 
In spite of high price is not wheat bran 
the best and safest feed for cows soon to 
calve? They are having good hay and 
stalks in plenty, but does it not pay to 
feed such cows some grain before calving? 
Is there anything that will take the place 
of wheat bran for these cows and for 
young stock and at less price? Will dried 
brewers’ grains take the place of the bran? 1 
Must not these dried brewers’ grains be [ 
soaked before feeding? Are they ever fed 
dry, and if so are the results as good as 
when soaked for 24 hours before feeding? 
Are the molasses feeds on the market worth 
their selling price compared with other 
grains? I have always largely depended 
on wheat bran and gluten with hominy 
or cornmeal, and have had excellent re¬ 
sults, but they are now so high in price 
I would like to have readers help me to 
get something cheaper. readeb.

More Profits For You 
Mr. Dairyman 
Here’s a simple problem in dairy feeding. 
Just stop a moment and solve it: 
Suppose you buy a ton of feed for $20.00 and 
it produces milk to the value of $25.00; your 
neighbor buys a ton which costs him $35.00 and 
it produces milk to the value of $45.00. Which 
of you is making the greater profit? Which of 
you is feeding to the best advantage? 
Too many dairymen are controlled only by 
the first cost of the feed. The true test is not 
co»t alone but cost considered in connection 
with its milk producing value. Your neighbor 
pays $15.00 more for his feed than you do, but 
his profits are double yours. 
That’s the reason in a nutshell why Dewey’s 
Distillers’ Dried Grains is the most economi¬ 
cal feed you can buy. _ Its cost is more than 
some other feeds, but it is worth a great deal 
more. It has a high milk producing value. 
It’s all a matter of returns on yonr invest¬ 
ment. A feed that would cost you $100.00 a ton 
would be the cheapest food to buy if it gives 
you a larger percent of profit. So certain are 
we that Dewey’s Distillers’ Dried Grains will 
make you a handsome additional profit over the 
feed you are now using that we are willing to 
make you an extraordinary offer on a trial ship¬ 
ment. Read it carefully. It absolutely guar¬ 
antees you against loss. It may mean the 
turning point toward real success for you as a 
dairyman. 
OUR OFFER 
W E will ship you 500 to 2,000 lbs. Dewey’s Distillers’ Dried Grains at $29.50 per 
ton f. o. b. Lynchburg, Ohio, which you are to test on a certain number of 
cows which number you are to mention in your order and you are to order 
not less than 250 lbs. for each cow. You are to keep an individual record, showing in 
detail the kind, weight, and cost of feed used, and quantity of milk produced. The 
test is.to be made for a period of 30 days, divided as follows: First, for ten days you 
are to use the same feeds you have been using; second, at the end of ten days you 
will begin to change to Dewey’s Distillers’ Dried Grains beginning with a small 
quantity and gradually increasing to a full feed, at the same time gradually decreas¬ 
ing the quantity of the other feed. This should take from five to ten days; third, the 
balance of the thirty days you are to feed a balanced ration using Dewey’s Distillers’ 
Dried Grains. This you will have no trouble in doing, by following the directions 
given in Prof. Henry’s booklet,“HowTo Feed Distillers’ Dried Grains.” 
At the end of the thirty days you are to send us the detailed individual record of 
the test, showing kind, weight, and cost of feed used and quantity of milk produced, 
on blanks which we will furnish for the purpose, same being the form recommended 
by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. If the record of said test does not show 
that Dewey’s Distillers’ Dried Grains makes you as big or bigger profit—over and 
above its cost ($29.50 plus freight) —then we will send you a corrected bill, at a price 
that will make you at least as much profit as if you had used your old feed. 
On 500-lb. orders we will allow 30 days’ time to responsible parties. We require 
payment of one-half down on orders for over 500 lbs., the balance to be settled at the 
end of 30 days. You can not in any possible way lose anything by accepting this 
offer. Why not try it? Fill in the order blank below and mail it today.

MANURE 
SPREADER 
The narrowest 
spreader, yet spreads 
widest. The circu¬ 
lar beater makes the great difference. 
Straight beaters spread only to their actual 
width, and so are built wide — much too wide 
for wagon tracks, and gates. But the FEAR¬ 
LESS clrcolmr beater spreads to the aides as well 
as behind. You can see by the illustration at 
the bottom of this ad how the FEARLESS Is 
narrow enough for wagon tracks and gates, 
yet can spread wider than any other spreader.

Clip YourHorses this Spring 
Don t put your horses at the hard spring work before clipping off the long, thick winter coat. Unclipped 
horses sweat much, dry out slowly and are liable to all kinds of cold, pneumonia, etc., from standing in a 
long, wet coat during chilly spring nights. Clipped horses dry out quickly, rest well and their food does them 
good. They can be cleaned in a quarter of the time. They look better, feel better and do better work.
