March 7, 
A GOOD ROOF 
first of all must be “RainTight.” \ 
It must not only be composed of 
such material as will shed water, bu 
also not be affected by the blazing 
heat of summer or the blizzards of a 
vigorous winter. 
Rain-Tight Rubber Roofing 
does all this and more. It is made of 
Trinidad Lake Asphalt—the standard 
asphalt of the world. It is as near inde¬ 
structible as any roof can be. 
Our brand of “ Perfect Roofing 99 is the same 
as “Rain-Tight” with mica flakes added to the 
surface which make it fire resisting. It is a non¬ 
conductor of heat and lightning and insures against 
fire from sparks falling on the roof. 
Remember the so-called "cheap roofing" that 
must be repaired and replaced frequently are dear 
at any price. You will save money, trouble and 
eventually expense by buying “ Rain -Tight ” at 
the start. 
Perfect Resin Sized Sheathing and Perfect 
Tarred Felt are Best for Sheathing Purposes 
If you need a new roof for any building, now or 
in the future, it will pay you to send for samples 
and booklet—write us today.

Forage Crops for Swine. 
What shall I sow for hog pasture? I 
have 12 acres for hogs next season, four- 
acre wood lot in which is a good never- 
failing spring; adjoining is a four-acre 
field enclosed with hog fence in which is 
one acre Alfalfa, the rest of field is in 
peach trees, in which I will seed some 
early crop, but what is the best here? 
The other four acres I have manured 
and am plowing now. It was in pasture 
for the last six years, and the sod is 
very poor and light. The soil is shale 
and rolling, and not in good shape, but 
I think the manure does a lot of good. 
What shall I sow in this field for the 
hogs? How many hogs can I raise 
profitably if I buy plenty of mill feed? 
Berks Co., Pa. c. k. b. 
Forage crops useful for swine may be 
listed in the following order on a basis 
of their feeding value: Alfalfa, rape, 
clover, oats and Canada field peas, mixed 
grasses. I would suggest that C. R. B. 
rely largely on rape and clover as a 
source of green forage with swine during 
tl.e first year, as it will probably give 
| him the largest yield per acre. A mix¬ 
ture of six pounds of Dwarf Essex rape, 
and 10 pounds of Sweet clover per acre, 
might be seeded in the four-acre field 
early in the Spring, and the animals 
could be turned in when the rape is 
about 10 inches high, and it would supply 
green forage throughout the season. The 
four acres of sod in my judgment would 
best be planted with corn, and just pre¬ 
vious to the last cultivation of the corn 
a mixture of eight pounds of rape and 12 
pounds of Crimson clover should be seed¬ 
ed per acre, which will make a green 
forage crop that the hogs can harvest, 
provided they are permitted to hog down 
the corn, which is a useful and profitable 
practice. An acre of rape planted early 
in the Spring and not pastured until it is 
10 inches high will pasture throughout 
the season from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds 
of pork live weight per acre. 
A grain ration of corn and digester 
tankage in the proportion of 100 pounds 
corn to 10 pounds of tankage should be 
fed to the pigs while foraging, the tank¬ 
age being best and most economically 
fed in a thin slop twice daily. From 
one and one half to two pounds of grain 
daily for each 100 pounds weight is suffi- 
cien to enable sliotes and growing gilts 
to gain rapidly and economically. If C. 
R. B. has still another area that he 
wishes to utilize for swine, the following 
mixture per acre is a very useful one: 
Oats, 25 pounds, Canada field peas, 25 
pounds; Dwarf Essex rape, six pounds; 
Red clover, 10 pounds; seeded as early in 
the Spring as weather and soil condi¬ 
tions will permit, the same to be fol¬ 
lowed in the Fall with a cover crop 
mixture of wheat (50 pounds and Winter 
vetch 25 pounds per acre. It is not well 
to pasture such area until the oats and 
peas are about nine inches high. This 
mixture will make a continuous feed un¬ 
til frost destroys the rape plants in the 
Fall. F. C. M. 
A Progressive Cattle Breeder. 
The Ohio Agricultural College is re¬ 
sponsible for the following: 
“Fulton county, Ohio, has a reputa¬ 
tion for progress in matters pertaining 
to dairying. Its many good barns and 
numerous silos are often the occasion of 
favorable mention. Good cows with pro¬ 
gressive owners are responsible for the 
well earned reputation. One striking in¬ 
stance of dairy improvement is found in 
the herd of W. H. Standish. Twenty- 
eight years ago Mr. Standish decided to 
cast his lot with the breeders of Holstein- 
Friesian cattle. Due to the lack of cat¬ 
tle, early operations were necessarily 
slow and modest, but sound. Mr. Stand¬ 
ish developed a rare ability as a judge 
of dairy animals. Since his start with 
a few foundation animals, he has pur¬ 
chased some herd sires but few females. 
The present herd of a dozen cows has in 
it some wonderful individuals and no 
common ones. So good has been Mr. 
Standish’s breeding practices and selec¬ 
tion that $500 is not an unusual price 
for a calf from his herd. Every cow in 
the herd has real dairy conformation, 
good constitution, phenomenal udder de¬ 
velopment and the milk production is un¬ 
usually high. One hundred pounds of 
milk a day and 30 pounds of butter a 
week are not uncommon. One individ¬ 
ual has produced more than 6,000 pounds 
of milk in 60 days. Luck has had but 
a small part to play in the development 
of this extraordinary herd; rather it has 
been the outcome of careful selection of 
breeding stock, elimination of all poor 
individuals, scientific care, management 
and feeding.” 
Cream Separator 
the most important 
machine used on 
the farm 
S OME BUYERS OF <?REAM 
separators do not stop o„>tmk 
why their purchase of the best 
cream separator is of greater im¬ 
portance than the purchase of any 
other implement or machine of any 
kind used on the farm, or for that 
matter anywhere else. 
N EARLY EVERY PIECE OF 
farm machinery is only used 
a few weeks during the year, if 
that long, and when it is used sim¬ 
ply saves time or labor over some 
other way, with 
c o m p a r a t ively 
little difference 
between makes 
of such machines 
except in design 
or size or possi¬ 
bly that one is 
better made than 
another and so 
lasts longer and 
probably costs 
more propor¬ 
tionately. 
T he facts are very dif- 
ferent in the case of the cream 
separator, which is used twice a 
day every day in the year, and 
very different as between the De 
Laval and other cream separators 
because the use of any other sepa¬ 
rator or creaming system involves 
not only the saving in time and 
labor a De Laval machine would 
effect but an actual waste in quan¬ 
tity and quality of product a De 
Laval machine would save. 
The Cream Separator the 
most wasteful or most 
profitable 
T his is the very great 
difference that makes the cream 
separator the most important of 
farm machines, the most wasteful 
or the most profitable, because used 
so often and involving a waste or 
a saving every time it is used. 
This is the reason why there are 
more De Laval separators in use 
than any other kind of farm or 
dairy machines the world over, and 
more than all the other makes of 
cream separators combined. 
N O MATTER WHETHER YOU 
have yet to buy a separator 
or are using an inferior machine, 
you must be interested in what a 
De Laval—not a 10, 20 or 30 year 
old one, but a De Laval machine 
to-day—would do for you, and that 
every De Laval local agent will be 
glad to make plain to you by the 
demonstration of a machine itself.
