DAIRY 
Fed with onl^ 
tM Usual Roughage 
Increases Milkileld 
of Any Cow 23% 
Your cow needs no corn or other high priced concen¬ 
trates to increase her milk yield when fed on Sucrene Dairy 
Feed. Every sack of Sucrene Dairy Feed supplies her with 
66 pounds of actual milk making and body maintaining 
nutrients, besides necessary ash or mineral matter. 
You get more milk per dollar of feed money from Sucrene Dairy Feed 
than from any of the high priced grains or concentrates, because 
Sucrene Dairy Feed Is a Complete 
Correctly Balanced Milk Making Ration 
Profs. Fraser and Hayden atlllinois Elxperiment Station dem¬ 
onstrated that cows fed a balanced ration gave 47 per cent more 
milk and 39 per cent more butter-fat than cows fed an unbalanced 
ration, although both lots received the same quantity of feed. 
Sucrene Dairy Feed is composed only of the following stand¬ 
ard quality feeding materials: Cottonseed Meal, Corn Gluten 
Feed, Corn Distillers' Dried Grains, Palm Kernel Meal, Finely 
Ground and Bolted Grain Screenings, Pure Cane Molasses and 
Clipped Oat By-Product for necessary bulk. Correctly propor¬ 
tioned to produce the following guaranteed analysis: Protein 
I6^%, Fat3^%, Carbohydrates 46%, Fibre 14%. 
Sucrene Dairy Feed Heads the List 
For Low Cost Milk Production 
It is the original molasses, grain and grain-products feed and 
has steadily gained in popularity. It bears the most rigid tests in 
our own laboratories and on our experimental farms; and has the 
unqualified approval of high official experts and of practical men 
who have made dairying a profitable lifetime business.

'A Great Record 
Made by this 
GUERNSEY 
This t our - year-old 
Guernsey cow boasts 
a yearly production 
record of 16,203.90 
lbs. of milk and 
85S.70 lbs. of butter

pays big in any cow. 
Increase Your Milk Income—Sure 
Every cow you own that is less than 100% healthy 
is losing money for you. And the fact is that 80% 
all dairy cows are below a proper health standard. 
The vital organs of cows are just as liable to be¬ 
come diseased and sluggish as those of human beings. 
They need the same kind of treatment—medicinal 
assistance. Don’t make the mistake of overfeeding 
to bolster up a sluggish system. 
KOW-KURE has met with such great popularity among 
dairymen because it acts directly on the digestive and gen¬ 
ital organs, toning them up, making them function prop¬ 
erly, and enabling them to throw off disease. 
Such ailments as Retained Afterbirth, Barren¬ 
ness, Abortion, Scouring, Lost Appetite, 
Bunches and similar troubles, respond 
quickly to the strengthening influence of 
KOW-KURE upon the entire system. 
^e result is an -Imost immediate 
increase of milk production.

Feeding a Family Cow 
(CoDtiuued from page 1318) 
flow of milk, though I did not have enough 
to give a fair trial. Which would be the 
more profitable and valuable as a feed to 
raise, these sugtjr beets or tlie regular 
ma'ngel beet? I have been feeding some 
grain to piece out my Fall feed; the cow 
is pasturing ou my mowing field. I mixed 
KIO lj)s. of dairy feed, 100 lbs. of gluten 
and 50 lbs. of oilmeal. Could I improve 
ou this by use of cottonseed meal? c. s. Q. 
Vermont. 
Neither Timothy hay nor millet will 
satisfy a milch cow, even when supple¬ 
mented with some grain in the ration. 
Both are “woody” and not easily digested, 
for they contain much coarse fiber and 
vei'y little digestible protein or nutrients. 
Beet pulp approaches cornmeal or hom¬ 
iny iu feediug value; that is, it contains 
nearly as much digestible carbohj’drate, 
but not fat, and in addition to its actual 
nutrients, the pulp increases the assimila¬ 
tion of other feed fed in conjunction with 
it. Furthermore, it can be moistened and 
will serve as a splendid substitute for 
succulence. Oue pound of dry pulp is 
equivalent in feeding value to five pounds 
of silage, and one pound of the dry pulp 
will absorb four or five pounds of water. 
A suitable ration containing pulp would 
be: Beet pulp, 4 lbs. (dry, or 20 lbs. 
wet) ; ground oats, 0 Ibe.; oilmeal, 1 lb.; 
cornmeal, 2 lbs. Mix the corn, oat.s and 
oilmeal in these proportions and feed in 
two equal amounts morning and evening 
on the moistened pulp. Soak the pulp for 
12 hours, i. c., moisten four pounds of 
pulp at night for use in the morning, and 
the same amount in the morning, for use 
in the eveuing. A candy pail or butter 
tub will make a good vehicle. Do not 
soak the grain, Imt rather sprinkle it over 
the moistened pulp. 
For roughage, the Timothy and millet 
can be used, but clover or Alfalfa would 
be .so much better that it might pay to 
make the e.xchniige. In an}’ event, feed 
the millet in tlie middle of the day and 
some Timothy after each grain feeding. 
V ith the dairy feed, gluten and oilmeal 
in the proportions given, you should feed 
considerable beet pulp or cormneal. for 
the mixture is too concentrated and too 
high in protein. A useful combination 
would be : Dairy feed, 4 lbs.; gluten meal, 
1 lb.; oilmeal, 1 lb.; beet pulp, 4 lbs.; 
cornmeal, 4 lbs. Cottonseed meal would 
not improve this ration, already relatively 
high in concentrated proteids. 
For a single cow it would no doubt pay 
to grow the mangel beets rather than the 
sugar beets; yet beet pulp would make a 
fairly good substitute. The cost of thin- 
uiug beets makes this form of succulence 
rather expensive if one undertakes to 
grow them ou an extensive scale. The 
beets are very palatable, and are greatly 
relished by milch cows. Care must be 
exercised iu storing the beets or mangels 
so as to i)ievont freezing and insure 
against spoilage. 
Feeding Stunted Pigs 
Can you tell me what kind of ration 
f could feed eight little pigs to promote 
their growth? These pigs were born late 
in May, and have since grown very little, 
their w’eight being only about 20 to 30 
pounds? They have had very poor care, 
and are covered with vermin, and may be 
stunted. They have been living on rape 
pasture and coru on cob. MKS. c. F. K. 
New York. 
Pigs born late in May that weigh only 
20 or 30 pounds in November will not 
yield a profit on any feed one might sug¬ 
gest. They have been stunted and re¬ 
stunted, and will never do well. They 
ought to weigh 175 lbs. each, and be 
nearly ready for market by this time. I 
would dispo.se of them at once, and try to 
find some 12-week.s-old pigs that would 
weigh around 00 lbs. each, and take my 
chances on feeding them out. It is evi¬ 
dent that the pigs in question are reeking 
in vermin; that they are no doubt ^vormy 
and pest infected, and one never gets a 
new dollar for an old one iu feeding and 
handling this grade of live stock. 
However, if Mrs. C. F. R. wants to feed 
these runts let her give them a good 
scrubbing with soap and water, then coat 
them over with crude oil to oust the pests. 
Give them a dry place to sleep, and make 
sure that intestinal worms are likewise 
evacuated. Give each pig (30 lbs. in 
weight) one teaspoonful of turpentine in 
a pint of new or skim-milk, after all food 
has been denied them for 24 hours. Feed 
the following mixture generously, and all 
the pigs will clean up with relish: Corn¬ 
meal, 10 lbs.; white middlings, 5 lbs.; 
finely ground oats, 2 lbs.; oil meal, 1 lb. 
Mix into a thick slop and feed twice 
daily. Skim-milk or buttermilk will add 
greatly to the value of this ration for such 
pigs, yet it is clear that they will never 
repay for the feed already consumed. 
Uuless a youug pig gains in weight every 
weeks of his life he never makes the most 
profitable market hog. It is a hog’s busi¬ 
ness to eat, sleep and gain in weight, and 
if he fails in this he fails to yield a profit, 
or to justify his owner iu bothering with 
him.
