Dairy Ration; Superfluous Teat 
1. How can we balance a ration for a 
fresh Jersey cow, using the following 
feeds: Wheat bran, ground oats, dairy 
ration, carrots, with mixed hay, and corn 
fodder for roughage? 2. We have a pure¬ 
bred yearling Jersey heifer that has a 
superfluous teat between the other two 
which we are afraid will interfere with 
milking later on. Could this be safely 
and effectively removed? M. M. m.

Allied Horses Clipped 
Horses of Allied armies were clipped regularly. 
Army veterinarians knew that clipped horses 
were much less liable to sickness—-did better 
work and gave longer service. The machine 
adopted was the Stewart Ball Bearing No. 1. 
The Stewart lasts a lifetime and costs only 
.$9.75. Send $2.00—-pay balance on arrival. Or

1. Feed two or three feeds of hay and 
one of corn fodder daily giving what cow 
will clean up at each feed. Make the 
grain ration one part by weight of bran, 
one part ground oats and four parts dairy 
ration. Add a pound of salt to each 100; 
lbs. of feed. 
2. The teat may be removed with sharp 
scissors and touched up with a stick of

Pasteurizing Separated Milk; Casein in 
Milk 
Can a cream separator lie used for pas¬ 
teurized milk? What is the average 
amount of butter, cream .‘>0 per cent, 
skim-milk, buttermilk, and pot cheese 
contained in 1.000 pounds of 3 per cent 
milk? iv. i. 
New Jersey. 
Pasteurized milk can be separated with 
the separator the same as raw milk. 
1.000 x .03 = 30 pounds of butter fat 
in the milk ; 30 -f- 30 = 100 pounds of 
30 per cent cream; 1,000 — 100 = 900 
pounds skim-milk. 
You can figure 18 pounds of pot cheese 
per 100 pounds of skim-milk or 162 
pounds from 900 pounds skim-milk. The 
cream would make about 37 pounds of 
butter, leaving about 63 pounds of but¬ 
termilk. II. f. J, 
Ration for Guernsey 
I am enclosing a ration I worked out 
for a Guernsey cow producing 33 lbs. of 
5 per cent milk a day. We have no silo, 
and have to buy all our feed. Is it a 
pood ration, and is 
it worked out

I do not know the source of the figures 
that you present, but 1 find they differ 
somewhat from those found in Storrs, 
Conn.. Bulletin No. 90. which is the 
source of my calculations. Instead of 
stating the requirements in terms of pro¬ 
tein. carboy hydrates and fat, it is stated 
in terms of protein and of total digestible 
nutrients. The total digestible nutrient 
is the fat times 2,25 plus the carbohy¬ 
drates and protein. Using this table, 
your cow would require 3.10 lbs. of pro¬ 
tein and 19.078 lbs. of total digestible 
nutrients. With this standard set I have 
figured the following ration :

The cow should handle 20 lbs. of hay a 
day without the silage. You will note the 
ration you have figured is far too low in 
protein. It is next to impossible to bal¬ 
ance a ration using corn in it where Tim¬ 
othy bay is used for roughage. n. F. j. 
Improving a Ration 
What would be the best grains to mix 
with barley and oats to feed fresh cows 
that are getting only mixed bay cut a 
little late? I am feeding at present hay 
in morning and two quarts ground barley 
and oats and some hay at noon, then 
four quarts grain and bay at night. 
Vermont. h. r. k. 
Feed all mixed bay cows will clean up 
at least three times a day. Make grain 
mixture 300 pounds ground oats and bar¬ 
ley (mixed). 200 pounds cottonseed meal. 
200 pounds linseed oil meal and 100 
pounds of wheat middlings. Add a pound 
of salt to each 100 pounds of feed. Feed 
a pound of grain to about 3)4 pounds 
milk produced daily, giving grain morn¬ 
ing and night. u. f. j.

Marketing Conditions Which Inter¬ 
fered During the War With Shipment 
and Production Now Overcome 
As long as the war continued, 
various ingredients were difficult, 
ofttimes impossible, to get. Incom¬ 
ing shipments of supplies and out¬ 
going shipments of Larro-feed were 
subject to many delays. 
Now most of the restrictions on 
proiducjtion have been removed. 
Shipping facilities are good. 
Larro-Feed is Guaranteed to Give 
You More Milk and More Profits 
Actual experience has shown 
thousands of dairymen that Larro- 
feed possesses every quality a bal- 
anced ration should have—the 
variety and palatability which make 
cows like it and thrive on it—the 
digestibility which conserves their 
health and milk productivity—the 
correct proportions of feed ingred¬ 
ients which raise their milk pro¬ 
duction to the maximum. 
Results in the form of increased 
milk profits and healthier cows 
have won the continued patronage 
of Larro-feed users. They know 
that no home-mixed, guess-work 
feed can possess the qualities they 
get in this, ready-to-feed ration. 
Larro-feed is the product of prac¬ 
tical men who have made a life 
study of dairy feed. It is composed 
of the choicest ingredients only, 
mixed in a clean, modern plant, 
that is equipped throughout with 
the most accurate mixing and 
weighing machinery. 
Larro-feed is not a cheap feed— 
nor is it cheap in results. If its 
fiist cost seems high—remember 
that the first cost comes back to 
you with a profit attached. You get 
it in the milk pail, in the increased 
milk profits in your bank book. 
This profit is included in the Larro 
guaranty. 
Remember—Larro-Feed Has Been 
Sold for Seven Years on a Money- 
Back-If-Not-Satisfied Guarantee 
How long do you suppose we 
could continue selling Larro-feed 
on this guaranty plan if the feed 
did not make good. Users every¬ 
where are enthusiastic over the 
results they obtain. 
Order a supply from your local 
Larro-feed dealer today. If you 
have not yet used it, give it a thor¬ 
ough trial. Remember the value 
of milk was never higher, the de¬ 
mand for it never greater. The 
more your cows produce, the more 
money you make, and Larro-feed 
is guaranteed to make more milk 
profits for you. If you do not know 
who the Larro-feed dealer is in 
your territory, write us direct and 
we will give you full information 
as to how and where you can get 
a supply.
