T HE best possible proof of Larro- 
Feed’s value is the eagerness with 
which cows devour it. They take 
to Larro-Feed with a relish. Every 
morsel is greedily consumed. A full 
milk flow is assured. 
The Reason for this Preference 
Larro-Feed possesses that quality 
which so many rations lack—palata- 
bility. A cow will not eat a feed which 
is ill-flavored and unpleasant. She is 
just as particular as a human being 
when it comes to the palatableness of 
food. She finds her taste satisfied by 
succulent, appetizing Larro-Feed. 
Besides being exceptionally pala¬ 
table, Larro-Feed is good for your 
cows. It keeps them in perfect health. 
It contains the necessary bulk, is 
easily digested, keeps the cows sys¬ 
tem in the best of condition, and 
contains just the proper proportions 
of protein and carbohydrates to pro¬ 
mote maximum milk production

Bad Flavor In Cream 
I notice on page 334 that A. N. B. com¬ 
plains of a strong smell in butter. Under 
almost identical conditions, I have good 
success by following this method : I keep 
tlu cream in a cool place until there is 
enough for a churning. Then I bring it 
to the kitchen until it thickens, stir fre¬ 
quently. so it will ripen evenly. The 
point I wish to emphasize is this: Never 
put a tight cover on the cream crock. I 
have kept cream perfectly sweet for a 
week, with a napkin covered over the 
crock, while I have had it develop had 
odors in six hours, if covered with a 
plate. M. J. L. 
Pennsylvania. 
It is a good plan not to cover the cream 
vessel tightly until the cream has become 
cooled. After this there is no reason why 
a bad flavor should develop in the cream 
if the container is kept covered, not if the 
milk and cream has been produced and 
handled in a thoroughly cleanly manner.

Ration for Freshening Heifer 
What I want is advice about a cow 
feed. I have cornstalks, no hay, for my 
cow; first calf expected now any day. I 
have been feeding all Winter 2 1 / £ quarts 
of bran mornings, and add a handful of 
oilmeal evenings, scalded, and 10 quarts 
of water added. This is what she will 
clean up at a feeding; is in excellent 
shape, 2V. years old, fair size, Jersey and 
Guernsey. I have enough stalks till pas¬ 
ture ; can buy bran, middlings, ground 
oats, cornmeal. gluten, cottonseed meal, 
oilmeal and ground Alfalfa. I would like 
a balanced ration with stalks and what to 
add or deduct when she goes in pasture, 
how much to feed at a meal, how many 
feeds per day. and how to feed—dry, slop 
or for a di’iuk. J. J. h. 
New Jersey. 
Feed all the cornstalks the heifer will 
clean up. Both bran aud oilmeal are ex¬ 
cellent to feed a cow just before freshen¬ 
ing. After the heifer freshens give her a 
hot bran mash (14 peck bran) twice a 
day for two days and then gradually work 
her on to a grain ration of two parts by 
weight of bran, one part cornmeal. two 
parts cottonseed meal, one part oilmeal 
and one part gluten feed. Add 1 lb. of 
salt for each i00 lbs. of feed mixed up. 
Feed grain morning aud night. Feed dry. 
In two weeks’ time, if cow's udder comes 
on in good shape, you should he feeding 
1 lb. of grain for each 3 to 3^4 lbs. of 
milk produced daily. When cow goes on 
pasture drop out the oil meal aud one 
part of the cottonseed meal. If pasture 
is good the cow will need little or no 
grain until such time as pasture dries up 
and flies come on. H. F. J. 
Improving a Ration 
Will you give me a balanced ration for 
a mixed dairy, milking from IS to 40 lbs. 
a day? I have ‘been feeding 100 lbs mo¬ 
lasses feed. 100 lbs. dairy feed. 125 lbs. 
gluten. 50 lbs. cottonseed, and all the 
Timothy aud Iled-top they will clean up, 
giving 1 lb. of grain to 2*4 lbs. of milk. 
Is the molasses feed worth $40. or would 
I better get hominy at $65 instead. I 
cannot get oil meal; can get ground oats 
at $60. Being a little short of hay could 
I feed a little heavier on grain and less 
hay with as good results? Timothy hay 
is $18 per ton and bad roads to haul. 
New York. a. l. it. 
Timothy hay is very poor for milk pro¬ 
duction. Your grain l’ation is too low in 
protein to feed with Timothy hay. Make 
your ration 100 lbs. molasses feed 200 
ibs. dairy feed. 200 lbs. gluten feed, and 
200 lbs. of cottonseed feed. You should 
get some more hay if possible and try 
to get hold of some clover. A pound of 
grain to 2 1 /* lbs. of milk is a great plenty.

Stone for Silo Building 
Is stone a suitable material for a silo? 
1 have stone and sand on the farm, short 
haul. I wish to know thickness of wall, 
etc. c. E. B. 
Butler, Pa. 
A stone silo with walls about a foot 
thick will make a very practical and 
durable ouc. It should, of course, be plas¬ 
tered on the inside with a rich cement 
and sand mixture in order to make the 
walls perfectly smooth. ii. F. J. 
Preventing Bitter Milk 
Tn a recent issue I see two questions 
regarding bitter milk, and as I have had 
the same experience would like to tell 
yon what has always stopped it. We 
strain the milk in pail, then set it in a 
kettle of hot water until it reaches about 
80 degrees by thermometer, when we pour 
it in basin or pan and set it in as cool a 
place as we have, and never have bitter 
milk or cream if we keep it a week or 
more. I have let it freeze this Winter, 
and the day before I wanted to churn 
warm it to 80 or 00 by setting in hot 
water and stir through the day occasion¬ 
ally. We have never had a cow give 
hitter milk so long before freshening as 
II. H. B. of Massachusetts complains of. 
and I am sure if he would scald milk 
he would have no trouble. M.T5. H.

Retained After-birth 
Cows can be made to clean easily 
without using force. 
When cows do not clean properly after 
Calving, it indicates a germ infection which 
is likely to run through the entire herd and 
result in Abortion and Barrenness. 
The after-birth should be removed at once 
without force by means of the B-K douche 
and the cow treated to prevent her becoming 
an aborter or sterile. Authorities state that 
while there is no absolute cure for abortion 
and sterility, nevertheless the infection can 
be controlled by prompt treatment and the 
animal saved for successful breeding. 
B-K is scientifically correct for this work. 
Used as a douche for the uterus, it quickly 
brings the after-birth, dissolves the slimy 
albuminous matter, kills the germs, stops 
discharges and controls the infection. ii-K 
does not cause straining, but is soothing and 
heals the tissues. 
Send for “evidence” and free Bulletin N T o. 
52 “Contagious Abortion.” If your dealer 
does not have B-K send us his name.
