Good Health! 
The milk flow is the best indication oE 
the health condition of a cow. If the 
yield is below normal it is almost always 
a sign of approaching sickness. 
Do not wait for actual disorders to develop; you 
can easily put the cow back on her feet and ward 
off eerioua ailments by the prompt use of Row 
Kure, the great cow medicine. 
In cases of Abortion. Barrenness, Retained 
Afterbirth, Scouring. Lost Appetite, Bunches, 
etc., this standard remedy is a reliable treatment. 
It acts at once on the digestive and genital organs, 
where nearly all cow diseases originate. 
The occasional use of Kow-Kure, ns directed, 
will prove an effective preventive of cow diseases 
—and disease-prevention pays big in dairy profits.

A Record Young Guernsey 
The picture shows the Guernsey cow 
Langwater Phyllis 70G07, A. It. 6614, 
bred and owned by F. Lothrop Ames, of 
Massachusetts. She was born May 15, 
1015, calved Oct. 4, 1917, and her yearly 
test began three days later. The record 
ending Oct. 6. 1918, showed 19.288.4 lbs. 
milk, and 746.23 lbs. butterfat. The 
average fat percentage for the year was 
5.62. The extremes were 4.43 per cent 
at beginning of test, and 6.68 in Septem¬ 
ber. 191S. The highest monthly milk 
yield was 1371.8 lbs. in November, 191 <. 
About the middle of December she had 
a serious setback from pneumonia, drop¬ 
ping from 46 lbs. per day to 24, but 
recovered so that she gave 40 lbs. again 
iu January. Her record makes her the 
world champion two-year-old Guernsey. 
Langwater Phyllis combines the blood 
of practically all the foundation Lang- 
and certain energizing foods, it is not un¬ 
common that the delicate tissues of the 
system, notably the reproductive organs, 
blood vessels and certain delicate tissues 
in the udder, become brittle and unyield¬ 
ing, and hence it is with great difficulty 
that the necessary functions are per¬ 
formed. Inasmuch as you have an abun¬ 
dance of corn meal I would include a great 
deal more of this splendid feed into the 
ration, particularly for Jersey cows, 
whose tendency is not to put on surplus 
flesh. If you will feed one pound of 
grain to each four pounds of milk pro¬ 
duced, and use the ration given, you will 
find it more satisfactory. You are feeding 
too extravagantly. I would suggest the 
following ration : 500 lbs. corn and cob 
meal, 200 lbs. ground oats, 100 lbs. wheat 
bran, 150 lbs. cottonseed meal, 50 lbs. oil- 
meal. I have eliminated the mixed feed, 
for iu any event it is an expensive source

water cows; Hayes IIosie 15476, Dolly 
Bloom 12770, Imp. Itcken Daisy 3d 15630, 
and Dolly Dimple 19144. She traces to 
both Imp. King of the May 9001 and 
Imp. Yeoman 861S three times each. She 
also carries, through Langwater Pauline 
33566 (the dam of her sire) an infusion 
of Golden Secret blood, from the fact 
that the dam of Langwater Pauline 
33566, Langwater Pearl 26605. is by a 
son of Imp. Golden Secret 12599 and out 
of a daughter of Imp. Golden Secret 
12599. On her dam’s side, the family 
has been bred at Langwater for four 
generations, the original foundation cow 
Imp. Ilayes Felois 2d 15478 being im¬ 
ported in 1902. Then the line goes down 
from Yeoman’s Felois 2213i. a daughtei 
of Imp. Yeoman 8618, to Langwater 
Faith 31568, by Dolly Dimple’s May King 
of Langwater 12997 and the dam of Lang¬ 
water Phyllis 70607, Langwater Faithful 
39949, by Imp. King of May 9001. None 
of these females on the lower side of the 
pedigree proved to be great producers. 
The excellence of Langwater Phyllis 70007 
appears to be due to the accumulative 
influence of the blood of these foundation 
cows, which have been doubled up through 
their sons.

of nutrients, and while it might add va¬ 
riety to the mixture, it will not supply di¬ 
gestive nutrients as economically as they 
can be produced in the basic materials. 
The value of the dairy herd depends 
upon its ability to produce milk and re¬ 
produce calves. The practice of feeding 
excessive amounts of concentrated feeds 
without due regard to the bulk and ener¬ 
gizing constituents of the material is 
clearly an error, and ought to be cor¬ 
rected. Instances are frequent where 
certain cows are yielding 40 lbs. of milk 
per day at a loss, when if they were let 
down to the normal standard they would 
probably produce 30 lbs. of milk at a 
profit. It is a simple matter to determine 
the cost of the ration. Increasing the 
amount of feed over and above a certain 
amount that can ho used to advantage by 
the animals constitutes an extravagant 
waste. Very often a cow will produce al¬ 
most as much milk on five pounds of grain 
per day as she will yield from 10 lbs. of 
the same mixture. It is up to the feeder 
to determine whether or not the increased 
grain consumed increases proportionately 
with the milk flow to such an extent that 
the owner is receiving cost prices for the 
grain consumed. 
Improving Dairy Ration 
I would like your advice about feeding 
our herd of Jersey cows. M e are feeding 
one pound of grain to three pounds of 
milk of the following grain ration: 200 
lbs. bran. 100 lbs. mixed feed, 100 lbs. 
cottonseed, 100 lbs. gluten, 125 lbs. corn 
and cob meal, 65 lbs. ground oats and •><> 
lbs oil meal. We feed what mixed hay 
they will eat twice a day, one bushel of 
silage (not matured) per cow per day, 
and one peck of roots per cow per day. 
Is there anything wrong with this ration.' 1 
If the grain ration is too wide, can you 
suggest a better one which will contain 
corn and col) meal? 
Sherborn, Mass. 
M. c. G. 
The grain ration 
to your Jersey cows 
that you are feeding 
is faulty inasmuch as 
it is too concentrated, too narrow, and 
contains an excessive amount of feeds 
high in protein and low in carbohydrates. 
It has been the experience of feeders of 
dairy cows that while a narrow ration 
supplies an abundance of blood, muscle 
Feeding Idle Horses 
I would like to have a little advice 
about feeding mules and horses. We have 
been nine months on the farm,•and as our 
two sons were drafted it lias left us with¬ 
out any belli. Our two sons are coming 
back, both being wounded and ready to 
leave the hospital. Wo are left short of 
feed for the stock, only planting corn. 
Would vou tell me what would he the best 
feed for the mules and horses, as we have 
a lot of fodder and corn ! I low much 
corn to give at every meal, how many 
ears, how much fodder, and wlmt'kind of 
feed for them? MRS. H. C. 
Belton, Del. 
Let us hope that your two hoys will 
soon be released 1 rom tlie hospital and 
that their interest in agriculture will not 
have subsided during the interval that 
they have participated in war activities 
and encountered a degree of excitement 
that is inclined to make operations on 
the farm appear rather tame. A great
