Cows fed on Sucrene give 25% more milk in three 
weeks’ feeding—at a substantial saving in feed cost 
Our experts have demonstrated this fact many times with Sucrene Dairy 
Feed on our own experimental farms, and their experience is duplicated 
by thousands of dairymen and farmers. 
SUCRENE DAIRY FEED, Hay and Water 
Is All Your Cow Needs 
to make more milk. Sucrene Dairy Feed is a complete, scientiheally cor¬ 
rect milk-making ration, supplying necessary protein, carbohydrates, fats 
and mineral mat;tcr to meet the daily needs of the cow for milk production 
and for maintaining the body in vigorous health all the year ’round. 
SUCRENE DAIRY FEED is composed of cottonseed meal, corn gluten feed, 
ground and bolted main screenings, corn distillers' dried grains and solubles, 
clipped oat by-product, molasses, palm kernel meal, calcium carbonate and a 
littlesalt. Guaranteed analysis; 161% protein, 31%fat,46%carbohydrates, I4%fibre. 
Variety—Palatability—Easy Digestibility-Economy 
are four important reouisites which give .'iucrene 
Dairy Feed its high place in the dairy world— 
16 years the recognized standard of milk feed 
quality. 
Save your high priced grain. Order a ton of 
Sucrene Dairy Feed from your dealer. Accept

Feed and Milk Prices 
A recent letter from a manufacturer of 
stock feed contained the following: 
“In 1911 milk was worth $1.60, and 100 
lbs. of It would buy 100 lbs. of dairy 
feed, and this feed would make 400 lbs. 
of Holstein milk. In other words, the ex¬ 
penditure of $1.50 brought in $6. To¬ 
day, taking New York prices, 100 lbs. of 
milk at $'5..60 will buy IIG lbs. of bal¬ 
anced feed at $3 per 100 lbs. In other 
words, you can get more feed for your 
milk than you did six years ago, figuring 
on the barter basis. Whether the other 
farmers’ co.sts are on a parity or have in¬ 
creased* it is hard to say.” 
Here is a good question for dairymen 
and we have submitted it to some prac¬ 
tical feeders. 
WHAT ABOUT THE IDLE STOCK? 
The dairy ration named is not handled 
by any of our retailers in this immediate 
vicinity, but comi)aring it .in price with 
other so-called ‘prepared feeds, would be 
safe in .saying it would retail for at 
least $.3.25 per 100 lbs. Grade B milk 
price for this month is $3.07 per 100 lbs. 
We .note that practically "all prepared 
mixed feeds advertise that one pound of 
grain will produce four pounds of milk. 
This‘may be possible with an extra good 
cow for a short period of time after 
freshening, but take .the average herd, 
with, cows of different periods of lactation, 
one pound of grain to three pounds of 
milk or lo.ss would come nearer to actual 
figures. We must also face the fact that 
our calves, yearlings and dry sto<-k must 
have a liberal supply of high-priced feed 
in order that they will grow, develop and 
he in proper condition when they reach 
the period of producing milk. 
Delaware C'o., N. Y. j. clakk nesbitt. 
T am very much in doubt as to the 
truth of the statement submitted by the 
feed manufacturer. I have yet to see any 
feed' that will produce 400 lbs. of milk 
from 100 lbs. of the feed. The feed men¬ 
tioned is a balanced ration, and will give 
good results, but it will not produce such 
results as are claimed for it. The manu¬ 
facturer is taking it for granted that the 
farmer is going to give away everything 
that he raises on the farm, and credit 
him, the feed mauufactiirer, with all the 
milk that the cow gives while eating his 
preparation. As a matter of fact, the 
thing works out about like this: Sup¬ 
pose that your cow freshens in good flesh. 
The first few d.-iys she will need only a 
little bran with licr hay and a few man¬ 
gels. Then, as her flow of milk increases, 
she can take a small feed of balanced ra¬ 
tion, and the rule is to increa.se this in a 
ratio of one pound of feed for each three 
considerable saving. j. qbant mobsb.

Dairymen’s Convention Holstein Sale 
At the Holstein sale at Syracuse, N. Y., 
Dec. 14-16, 148 purebred animals brought 
$85,065, or an average of $581.20 each. 
About half were calves and yearlings. 
The great feature of the sale was the pries 
paid for the bull calf Majestic Rag Apple, 
born last July, $.3.6.(KX), bought by J. T. 
Shanahan of New York. This young bull, 
a son of Rag Apple Korndyke 8th and the 
40-lb. cow, K. P. Diona Pietertje (her 
dam 37-lb.), is backed by larger records 
for the three nearest dams than any other 
bull ever offered in imblic sale. 
Counting out this one record price the 
other 147 averaged $347 each.

or four pounds of milk, aud to continue 
the increase of feed just as long as the 
cow responds by giving more milk. At 
the same time, silage will be added to her 
rajtion until she is getting .30 or 40 lbs. 
per day, together wdth all the hay she will 
eat. and mangeks, if one has them. Now 
it is very evident that the fresh <-ow 
would give quite a (piantity of milk if fed 
only the hay, silage and mangels. Yet 
our friend w'ould have ub believe that his 
feed mixture produces all of the milk. 
And, be.sides »this, nearly all good dairy 
cows will grow poor if fed at a riite of 
one pound of feed to four of milk pro¬ 
duced. She may do it for a little while, 
say as long as -her bodily fat lasts ; then 
she w'ill begin to shrink in -milk unle.ss 
the grain ratio is raised. Al.so. soon 
after a cow is bred, she will reipiire more 
griiin to keep up her flow of'milk, and the 
ratio will have to ‘be steadily increased 
until the cow will be consuming as many 
pounds of grain as .she is giving milk. 
And even after she is dry, she .should have 
some grain to put her in good shape for 
freshening •time. The day has gone by 
when the farmer was contented to work 
all Summer to raise cow fowl simply to 
help out the results clairne<l by the maker 
of some ready-mixed preparation. The 
farmers are not only beginning to charge 
the cow for the things rai.sed on‘the farm, 
but a good many of them are figuring out
