Endorsed by dairy authorities for extreme simplicity 
of operation and perfect preservation of silage. 
Used by U. S. Government and by the most prominent 
Public Institutions and Private Dairymen in the Eastern 
States. Harder Silos save time, save labor, cut down 
feed bills and insure more milk. Valuable improve¬ 
ments this year—new Gambrel roof adds to capacity. 
Advance in Price 
Owing to rising costs of materials and labor, we will

Live Stock Feeding Problems 
A Real Investment 
Before you put them up, figure your buildings 
on the basis of an investment. Will they add to ™ ‘ 
the market value of your farm should you wish to sell? 
Will they contribute to your profits? Or will they be 
a continuous expense for upkeep, and a loss through 
rapid depreciation ? 
Figure these things out in dollars and cents, and you’ll 
find that for a real investment it pays to build with 
Natco Hollow Tile 
In ten years, or even less, the saving in paint, repairs and insur- 
a,lceWI more than make up the difference in cost. After that, 
,.,j. ese savings will be clear profit. And you can pass on the 
buildings from generation to generation. 
mu tC j buildings are fire-safe, vermin-proof and strictly sanitary, 
ihe dead air spaces in the walls keep out cold in winter and heat 
in summer. Natco buildings combine beauty and utility. 
Ask your building supply dealer to show you samples of Natco 
Hollow Tile. He has plans, too, for many types of farm buildings 
—ask to see them.

Butter-making; Dairy Ration 
1. I am making butter; what, is the 
correct amount <>f salt to allow for each 
pound of butter? It is not sweet butter 
or butter made from sweet cream, but 
from properly ripened cream. Please state 
how long the butter should stand after 
being churned before putting in the salt. 
2. What is a well-balanced ration for 
purebred Jerseys for milk and butter pro¬ 
duction? Our cows are doing very poorly. 
We have the best of clover hay and lots 
of it; not so much cornstalks; no Al¬ 
falfa, no silage. J. F. A. 
Bernardsviile, N. .T. 
1. If you are using a barrel churn the 
following is the best method of washing, 
salting and working the butter: First, 
stop churning when butter is in granular 
form. Second, draw off buttermilk 
through a strainer. Third, temper wash 
water about like that of buttermilk and 
splash a little in the churn, leaving stop¬ 
per out so as to wash out bulk of butter¬ 
milk. Fourth, add about same amount of 
wash water as buttermilk withdrawn, and 
give churn three revolutions. Repeat this 
operation a second time. The butter will 
still be in nice granular form in the churn. 
Fifth, weigh out 1% ounce of salt for 
each pound of butter and sprinkle over 
butter in churn, and then sprinkle on a 
glass of cold water to start the salt to 
dissolve. Sixth, put cover on churn and 
revolve until butter is gathered in a lump. 
Seventh, put butter in table worker and 
work just enough to get lump of butter 
into compact mass for printing. Some 
people work it entirely by turning the 
churn over and over a little longer. By 
this method the salt is always evenly dis¬ 
tributed and the butter is not mottled. If 
you salt it dry on worker after taking 
butter from churn after having washed it. 
three-quarters of an ounce to one ounce of 
salt to the pound is sufficient. 
2. (Jet the cows to eat all the clover hay 
they will clean up at least three feeds a 
day. Make grain ration two parts bran, 
ground oats or barley, two parts hom¬ 
iny feed or cornmeal 
feed, one part nilmeal 
cottonseed meal. Add 
100 lbs. of feed.

Ration for Young Pigs 
We have three pigs six weeks old which 
we wish to keep all Winter to fatten next 
Fall, and have very little milk to speak 
of. What would he the best ration to 
feed them? We have most kinds of 
ground feed, but do not know which would 
be the best for them. D. c. s. 
New York. 
The pigs should have access to Alfalfa 
or clover at all times. Feed this from a 
rack, as sheep are fed; would also place a 
lump of salt and some charcoal ashes be¬ 
fore them. Make up a grain mixture of 
40 parts cornmeal, 40 parts wheat mid¬ 
dlings and 20 parts tankage. This can be 
self-fed dry. or make a mash with your 
skim-milk, diluted with water if neces¬ 
sary, and feed what they will clean up 
three times a day. Towards Spring grad¬ 
ually reduce the tankage to 10 parts and 
increase the corn that amount, h. f. j. 
Another Dairy Ration 
Will you give me a balanced ration for 
cows with clover bay. mixed bay and 
corn fodder? The corn fodder is from 
sweet corn, corn picked for market and 
the fodder out green. I have some clover 
bay, but not enough to last; will have to 
use mixed hay. I can get nearly all the 
common grain feeds. Cows are all Jer¬ 
seys. producing high testing milk. 
Pennsylvania. H. c. w. 
Get cows to eat two or three feeds of 
hay and one of corn fodder daily. Feed 
corn fodder at noon time or after supper, 
(live cows small enough feedings so cows 
will clean it tip pretty well. Make grain 
ration two parts bran, one part oil meal, 
one part gluten feed, one-half part corn 
meal and two parts cottonseed meal. Add 
1 per cent salt when making up ration. 
For Jerseys feed a pound of grain to 
three and one-half pounds milk. Their 
milk contains a high percent of total 
solids and it takes more food nutrients per 
pound to produce it than that of other 
breeds. H. F. j.
