Dr. David Roberts’ 
COW CLEANER 
You can’t watch your cow too closely during the freshen¬ 
ing period. Thousands of healthy, profitable cows are dis¬ 
abled every year because their o wners do net take measures 
to make them clean properly. If you have a cow or heifer 
about to calve, now is the time to make sure it ill clean 
properly by giving it Dr. David Roberts’ Cow Cleaner. 
Dr. Roberts’Cow Cleaner ripens the cotyledons, or buttons, 
which hold the afterbirth and it comes away by its own 
weight. It does away with the forcible removal of the 
r.fterbirth, which frequently brings on blood poison, some¬ 
times causing death. Come to the aid of your cows and 
heifers—give them Dr. Roberts’ Cow Cleaner. It means 
health for the animals and profit for you. 
Dr. David Roberts’ Calf Cholera Remedy 
should be given to your calves as soon as the dreaded scours appear. 
C'cours lead direct to calf cholera, that hifrhly contagious, death-dealing 
disease.) Calf Cholera Kemedy prevents fermentation of the food in 
Ihe digestive organs and li(juefies the poisonous gases which cause 
scours. It soothes the irritated mucous membranes and regulates 
the flow of the digestive juices. 
The calf's digestion becomes 
normal and the trouble disappears. 
Be prepared to save your calves. 
Breeding Tonic makes sure breeding. 
Prepares organs for breeding. Use 
regularly and you will have fewer 
accidents and better, healthier calves. 
Cow Tonic, Calf Meal, Diolice, Badger 
Balm, Laxotonic and Stokvigor —val¬ 
uable remedies, which should always 
be kept on hand.

Connecticut Dairy Ration 
Will yon give me a hal.aneed ration out 
of the following? (Jluten, ,$1.11;"); oil 
meal, ; boinin.v. .$2.20; cotton.seed, 
.$2..5(); dried beet pnlp, .tl.S."); dried brew¬ 
ers’ grains, .$1.88 for I'J;" lbs.; brjin, 
$1.70; middlings, $l.t>0. I am feeding 
40 lbs. corn and Soy bean silage, jioor 
quality, late cut bay; cows weigh l.tHlO 
ll)s. I have f<‘d 2(K) oil meal. 2(K) dined 
brewers’ grains, 1(K) middlings. 20(1 
gluten, mixed together. Init do not sup¬ 
pose that is clo.sely balaneed enongb for 
eeonomienl feeding, and grain is so costl.v 
that the man who st.ays in the business 
this Winter will have to watch for all 
(be leaks. There have been 1.5 dair.v 
farms put iij) for sale at public auction 
within a radius of KK) miles in two 
week.s’ time, and one or two sold from 
00 to 80 bead of stock. H. A. G. 
('oiineeticut. 
The ration yon are feeding is very 
nearly balanced. A.ssnmiiig the bay to be 
mixed ha.v the ration might better he 200 
brewer.s’ grains, 100 oil meal and 200 
gluten feed. Tlie middlings tend to widen 
the ration a little too mneb. Feed grain 
at rate of a pound to lbs. milk on the 
average, watching the needs of the differ¬ 
ent cows. It is a good plan to feed some 
coarse fine salt mixwl with the grain .at 
rate of a pound of salt to eaeli KM) lbs. of 
grain mixture. ii. F. .1. 
An Unbalanced Ration 
We kec)) but one cow at a time for liome 
use. and have never giiiined them. We 
now liave tbree-.vc'ar-old .lersi'.v, c-ame in 
ficsb two weeks ago, and would like to 
grain for increased milk snpiily. Have 
mixed ba.v (clover and Timothy), mid¬ 
dlings. briui. eornmeal and cornstalks. 
Hay and cornstalks are about all we 
have lieeii feeding. Will yon inform -me 
if I can m.'ike ;i fairly balanced ration of 
I Ids feed, or what must I add to produce 
best results? G. li. .S. 
It is impossible to babniee a rati<ni for 
yonr cow from tlie feeds yon have on 
band. Mixed lia.v runs oidy fail’ in pro¬ 
tein and cornstalks ar<‘ very low- Corn, 
middlings and liran .arc all la-Iatlvely low 
liroti'in feeils. High in-otcin fei'ds must 
lie ns('d largely in making up the gr.ain 
ration. Fecal 12 to 15 ’hs. liay .and 5 lbs. 
cornstalks jier be:ui jier d.ay. Since yon 
have no silage and a jirotein f(*cd must 
lit' used in tlie grain ration start oil’ witli 
a laxative fc'cd. oil mc'al. Main* ration as 
follows: KM) nil iix'al. 2(M) glntcai feed,

A Boy's Vision of an Ideal World 
Yes; the Collie is sharing with the boy his 
dream. 
The lad’s ambition is to some day own e- 
good stock farm with big red barns, silos 
and well-bred live stock. 
Had he but that he could say, in truth, 
so far as he is concerned—“The world is 
mine.” 
All over these United States the best farms 
are the stock farms. 
All over these United States wherever 
the golden hoofs are conspicuously in evi¬ 
dence there will you find an enlightened, a, 
contented, a thrifty people, and a type of 
husbandry that is constructive—not de¬ 
structive. 
Encourage the boy iu this dream. Some 
day it may come true, and when it does an¬ 
other pillar will have been placoil in under 
the general welfare of the entire commu¬ 
nity. 
Such boys are worth while. They dote 
on Tin-: BREEDER'S GAZETTE. 
In its pages they find inspiration. 
And there ai’O boys also of an older growth 
wlio might find iu its pages that which 
w'orild stir ambitiou.s now perhaps slumber¬ 
ing to the manifest advantage of them¬ 
selves, their families, their country, their 
state, their nation.

I have thi'i'c cows al present nnl one 
liorse. on a 12-acre farm. 1 feed in jiro- 
jiortion 1 Ih of corneoli chop. 1 Ih. of 
o.-its clmp and 1 Hi. of Avlieat bran, ami 
shredded corn fodiler; give each cow 
ahont four (piarts at a meal. If yon have 
:i hoiter ration I would like to know It. 
We make butter at present. I also give 
condition powders. /. ii. li. 
I’ennsylvania. 
While yonr grain ration is salisfaetory 
for yonr liorsi*. it is not a balanced ration 
for yonr cow.s. In fact, it is a very one¬ 
sided I'ation. Yonr cor’i fodder is a low 
protein feed and all the grain feeds yon 
are using are low in protein. It is jirac- 
lically impossible to hubuice ii satisfac¬ 
tory ration for dai-ry Cows where corn 
fodder i.s tlie only rongbage available. 
Yon sbonid be able to get bold of .some 
Alfalf.i bay at a reasonabb* iirice. It will 
belj) wonderfully in making a satisfac¬ 
tory ration foi' yonr cows, and make it 
jiossible to s.-ivi' on the grain. 1" yon can 
do this, fi'ed .-ibont equal jiarts Alfalfa 
bay and corn fodder, wbat cows will clean 
up. Since yon probably have the corn 
and cob chop on band, make up a grain 
ration of 1 p.irt corn and col) chop, 2 
I)arts bran, 1 i)art gluten feed and i/(> i)art 
oil meal. Feed oats if yon liave on band 
to yonr horse. With the above ration, 
condition powder will not be ueci'ssary. 
l-’eed grain at rate of 1 lb. to .‘K/4 to 4 
lbs. milk produced daily. For dry cows 
feed .5 to 5 lbs. daily, enough to keep 
them in good concition for fresbening. In 
making up grain ration add I per cent, 
coarse tine salt to uilxtnie. ii. K J.
