“One man and the EMPIRE do the work 
of three men,” says Mr. A. W. Clayton, 
Madison, Wis. That permits the other 
two men to go right on with their work— 
or perhaps saves their salaries entirely. 
will make your dairy more profitable and eliminate 
the drudgery from dairying. With an EMPIRE 
the milking is an incident—not an ordeal. 
Better—purer milk and more of it are results of 
EMPIRE Milking. 
EMPIRE Milking Machines are simple and effi¬ 
cient—gentle and natural in their action, and above 
all, they milk the SAME WAY EVERY 
DAY ,—more uniform in action than even the calf. 
They safeguard the condition of valuable cows. 
Let us tell you ALL the benefits they offer you. Write for

Live Stock Feeding Problems 
Dairy Ration 
Will you balance a ration for 40 grade 
ITolsteins whose milk is sold on the but- 
terfat basis? I have the following rough- 
:ige: Alfalfa and clover hay, silage com¬ 
posed of four parts emm, one-half part 
St).v beans and one part sunflow’ers. When 
my silage is gone, which will he tibout 
Aiiril 1, I have fed in the past dry bean 
stalks and pods. What should be added 
to grttin ration when the silage and bean¬ 
stalks are gone? I have a quantity of 
gluten on hand, and can buy dried distil¬ 
lers’ grains, beet pulp, bran, standard 
middlings or any of the commercial grains. 
New York. .s. s. d. 
It is rather unfortunate that yon do 
not have enough silage to last until the 
cows go to pasture. B<>an vines and pods 
are of rather low feeding value, and if 
you have to stop silage feeding April Ist 
I am afraid your cows will shrink c*ousid- 
erably during the month of April. Would 
it not be wise to feed less silage than you 
are now feeding and hence make it last 
longer? If not get some dried beet pulp 
when the silage is gone, and feed three or 
four pounds per head per day. Soak the 
pulp in about three times its weight of 
warm water. At pre.sent make a grain 
ration of tw'o parts dried distillers’ grains, 
two parts bran, one part gluten, and one 
part middlings. When you stop feeding 
silage drop out the middlings and add cot¬ 
tonseed meal in its place. In making up 
grain ration add 1 per cent, salt to it.

Feeding Ration for Family Cow 
Will you advise as to feeding a grain 
ration to our family cow? I have on hand 
molasses feed, wheat bran, and salted 
down wet brewers’ grains. I am feeding 
equal portions of these grains morning 
and night, one p''und to each 3^ Ihs. of 
milk; in addition, she has clover and Tim¬ 
othy hay morning and night, shredded 
corn fodder at noon, all she can consume. 
The cow is a grade Guern.sey. Could you 
advise me whether the grains as fed are a 
balanced ration, and if not how am I to 
make it .so? w. J. C. 
New .Tersey. 
The ration as you are now feeding it 
must be lacking in protein. On the basis 
of feeding 20 lbs. of the wet brewers’ 
grains daily, and what hay and corn 
stover cow will clean up, your grain 
ration would he better if you used two 
parts dried distillers’ grains, 1% part 
cottonseed meal, % part oil meal, one 
part bran, one part molasses feed and 1 
per cent, salt. ir. f. .t. 
Bran and Middlings ; Ration for Shotes 
1. What is the analysis of each of the 
following: Spring wheat bran. Winter 
wheat bran. Spring wheat middlings, 
Winter wheat middlings, rye feed? 2. 
Could I make a balanced ration for grow¬ 
ing shotes with rye feed and tankage? If 
so which would be cheaper, rye feed at 
.$30 or cornmeal at ,$45? T. A,

]. There is practically no difference be¬ 
tween the composition of Spring and Win¬ 
ter wheat bran or middlings, Ilye feed 
contiiins the same iimount of protein and 
fat as wheat bran. 
2. Experiments with rye feed show it to 
be slightly less valuable than cornmeal 
for swine feeding. They further indicate 
th.at pigs do not do as well on x'ye feed 
alone, as when mixed with other feeds or 
milk. However, since you can get rye so 
much cheaper than you can corn it is cer¬ 
tain that it is a good buy, ewu though it 
is slightly less valuable than corn in feed¬ 
ing value. I v'ould suggest a ration of 15 
parts tankage, 25 parts corn, and 60 parts 
rye feed. H. F, J. 
Horse and Cow Rations 
1. We have bright oat straw and good 
corn fodder. Hay only for Spring work 
for horses. Will you give balanced ration 
for almost idle horses, matured and in 
good flesh? 2. Also for milch cow. Fod¬ 
der is cut. Would it pay best to cut 
straw? .3. We are very short of bedding. 
Some use shavings, but they sell here at 
$15 iM?r ton. Straw hay or pure straw 
same price. It appears to me all are too 
high to buy for bedding. We might ob¬ 
tain sawdust for hauling—seven miles. 
What is your advice? 4. What is best 
use to make of 20 bushels buckwheeat, 
less seed. We have chickens. P. E. E. 
New York. 
1. For horses feed about 14 lbs. of 
straw and corn fodder in equal amounts, 
and supplement this with four quarts of 
oats and six to eight esirs of corn daily. 
2. You are up against it for milk produc¬ 
tion with the feeds you have on band. I 
believe your corn fodder would be made 
m.oi’e palatable if you could get some feed¬ 
ing molasses and feed about two quarts 
daily, diluting it with hot water and mix- 
j ing it with the fodder. Make your grain 
! ration two parts cottonseed meal, one part 
oil meal, one part brewers’ grains, one 
part gluten feed, one part bran and 1 per 
cent. salt. P’eed a pound of grain to 3% 
lbs. milk produced daily. 3. I should use 
straw for bedding before I would buy 
shavings for same price. 4. Buckwheat 
can he used to advantage as a scratch 
feed for hens. H. F. J.
