Feeding Problems 
Brewers’ Grains for Horses. 
Are dried brewers’ grain any good for 
horse feed? I have to buy feed for my 
team, can get brewers’ grain for $2 per 
125 pound sack. It makes quite bulky 
feed, but would like to mix eornmeal with 
it. M. E. 
New York. 
The New Jersey Experiment Station 
conducted some extensive experiments 
along this line a few years ago, and found 
that the dried grains at $22 per ton make 
as good and as economical a feed for work 
horses as oats at 4S cents per bushel. In 
these experiments the horses were fed 
eigbJ pounds of dried brewers’ grains with 
six pounds of hay, two pounds of bran 
and four pounds of corn. Another lot of 
horses were fed the same amount of oats 
instead of the grains, and the results 
showed that the dried grains are equal or 
superior to oats as a feed for work horses.

Dwarf Essex Rape iu Pennsylvania. 
I have grown rape in rows two feet 
apart in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, very 
rank growth, and cut when well grown 
for pig and chicken feed. Will it make 
quick growth in this section, to be used 
to help out cow pasture and for green 
feed for chickens? One great advantage 
with this crop is that it will quickly grow 
now leaves after cutting, if soil is rich. 
Pennsylvania. c. n. b. 
The Dwarf Essex rape will not make 
as heavy a growth with you as it did in 
Texas, and it will not grow as rapidly 
iu this cooler climate. It will, however, 
make a strong and steady growth, provid¬ 
ing an excellent feed for chickens or for 
hogs and sheep. We would not advise 
you to pasture cows on the rape. The 
plant is of the turnip family, and when 
fed freely is likely to give a rank taste 
to the milk. 
Hogs in the Timber. 
I notice W. II., Pennsylvania, wishes 
to know about hogs on stump land. Two 
years ago I fenced off about an acre and 
turned three hogs into it, was woodland 
at the time, hut have since cut out most 
of wood and fed mostly corn, throwing 
it in different parts of the lot. They 
have about all the undergrowth killed, 
and have rooted here and there among 
the stumps and I suppose in time will 
root the stumps out in search of rotten 
wood, etc. In fact they have that small 
lot so bare that last Fall I fenced a 
larger piece of woodland where they can 
graze on undergrowth and root for acorns, 
etc. There is a small stream in pastures, 
hut they are fed every day. They might j 
live without feeding, as I believe some [ 
hogs do in the South—“Root hog or die.” 
Long Island. B. B. 
Dairy Ration; Grease-heel. 
1. Could you give me a good ration for 
a cow that just freshened? I have noth¬ 
ing to feed but hay so I would like a good 
grain feed and the amount to feed for to 
keep her in good milk. 2. What could I 
do to heal a horse’s leg? lie has a long 
crack on each front leg from ankle to 
knee on hack part of leg. I don’t know 
what it is; it seems to he a regular crust 
formed there. f. j. s. 
New York. 
You can use the following grain mix¬ 
ture for your cow to good advantage if 
the feeding stuffs are available iu your 
locality: Five pounds dried brewers’ or 
distillers’ grains; two pounds cottonseed 
meal; two pounds eornmeal; one pound 
linseed oil meal. Feed as much of this 
mixture as your cow requires for the pro¬ 
duction of milk, hut do not feed any cot¬ 
tonseed or eornmeal during at least four 
weeks before parturition and two or 
three weeks thereafter. Do not forget to 
provide plenty of salt. 
2. Your horse is suffering from an ad¬ 
vanced case of scratches or grease heel, 
which is usually caused by unsanitary 
conditions and neglect. The first thing to 
do is to give a pound of glnnber salts and 
follow with some good tonic and blood 
purifier. Anything which may cause or 
irritate the disease should be avoided and 
strict sanitary measures adopted. The 
stable should he kept clean and well ven¬ 
tilated. The following dressing may be 
applied daily: One ounce vaseline, two 
drams oxide of zinc, and 20 drops iodized 
phenol. A flaxseed poultice may be ap¬ 
plied if the surface is tender and swol¬ 
len, hut if hard and crusty powdered 
Milestone should he applied once or twice 
daily. In severe cases persistent work is 
necessary to effect a cure, and if there is 
reason to believe that the disease is not 
yielding to home treatment a veterinary 
should be called before it is too late.

The 
Empire Way 
is the economical way. One 
double or two-cow unit takes care 
of 20 to 30 cows per hour. No 
elaborate and costly installation 
necessary. ^ 
Empire 
Cream Separator 
Gain Two Hours a Day 
That’s what one man with a few cows 
says of his Empire Milker. It enables you 
to make more money by keeping more 
cows with less work. 
The Empire Teat Cup massages the teats by 
natural air pressure. No compressed air used. 
Cannot cause sore, inflamed teats and udders. In 
many cases it increases the milk yield. 
The Empire 
Mechanical Milker 
is the simplest milking machine on 
the market. Easiest to install — 
easiest to operate—requires but one 
tank and one pipe line. 
Its quiet, light-running qualities 
have made the Empire Separator fa¬ 
mous among the most successful dai¬ 
rymen everywhere. Let us send you 
descriptions and pictures, showing the 
Empire Milker and Empire Separators 
in use. We will also send you our 
offer on Empire Sta-Rite Engines and 
Empire Star Feed Mills.
