If all of America’s twelve-billion- 
gallon 1918 milk crop had been 
run through the world’s-record 
skimmer—the United Stales Cream 
Separator — the saving to the dairymen 
of the Country would have gone far 
toward supplying this year’s butter-fat 
shortage in Europe. 
Not merely a high-sounding claim, but 
based on the world’s record won by the 
United States in open competition with the 
pick of the world’s cream separators. 
The same world’s record skimming results 
are available to you right now. Ask the 
local dealer about the United States Disc 
Separator; see how it works.

Are You Saving 49% Feed Cost 
When Hogs Sell Around 20c a Pound? 
If not, please read what the Government says in Farmers’ Bulletin 
No. 411, whereby a saving of 49% in the feed cost of producing pork 
by adding Digester Tankage to the grain ration is effected. Add 10% of 
REICHARD’S DIGESTER TANKAGE 
to the hog ration and watch your feed cost come down. 
REICHARD’S DIGESTER TANKAGE supplies the animal protein 
which makes muscle and builds bone. It gives 
the necessary balance to the grain ration.

Barley for Pigs 
In a recent issue you advise the farm¬ 
ers to feed barley meal. I had an experi¬ 
ence with barley meal last year that I 
think worth relating. I bought two pigs 
six weeks old and fed them anything I 
could got hold of till the barley was 
thrashed, then fed them almost exclusively 
on barley meal. Altogether they con¬ 
sumed 2.600 lbs. of feed, 1.000 of which 
was barley. They were 235 days old 
when slaughtered. One dressed 260, the 
other 290 lbs. The pigs and feed cost 
$72.40. I sold the larger one to the 
butcher for $66.70. They had no milk or 
tankage and less than a .bushel of corn, 
but all (lie mangels and sugar beets they 
could eat. e. j. buku, 
Michigan. 
Sheep and Poison Ivy 
A flock of sheep will do away with 
poison ivy when other pasture is short. 
Our flock cleaned up an old orchard that 
was badly infested three years ago. No 
ivy is to be seen in the orchard, while it 
still grows luxuriantly along the adjoin¬ 
ing roadside. c. G. j. 
West Bend, Wis. 
Renovating Butter 
My wife had a crock of butter get so 
moldy that it looked and tasted like 
Camembert cheese. She put it on the 
stove and boiled it in water, and then I 
put through the separator; when cooled 
and reworked with salt it is plenty good 
enough to use for cooking. b. s. 
New Hampshire. 
Controlling Runaway Cow 
I will give my experience with a run¬ 
away cow. I bought a cow for $35, giv¬ 
ing 20 lbs. to milking and testing 5.2, but 
would jump a 5-ft. fence or any fence, 
going through barbed wire. I took a 
pole about 1 in. through, dry and stiff, 
that would reach from cow’s chin to back 
of front legs, and bored holes large enough 
in each end to let strap through. I put 
halter on cow and fastened one end to 
strap under chin with about three or four 
inches slack, and put strap through other 
end and around cow hack of front legs. 
The three or four inches slack would 
catch any wire, so she could not get 
through, and as she could not throw head 
any higher than on level she could not 
jump. This will also stop cow from 
sucking herself. c. c. M. 
Allegan, Mich. 
Geo. I). Kastner of Kentucky tells how 
the production of a special money crop 
may affect all other crops in the section. 
Even the farmers’ Blue grass may be 
crowded out by tobacco : 
“Stock of all kinds is now doing well. 
Bye is affording superior grazing until 
turned on Blue grass. I suppose in a 
few years if this big tobacco crop keeps 
up rye will he our principal crop for 
grazing, as all Blue grass will he plowed 
up for tobacco. A very superior crop for 
grazing some will find to be Sudan grass. 
After it once gets started it will graze 
more than rye and in a few years farm¬ 
ers, and especially dairymen, will have an 
acre of Sudan grass. It makes excellent 
hay, as well as affording splendid graz¬ 
ing up to freezing time.” 
Beginning March 2S we have had 10 
sows farrow 94 pigs, or an average of bet¬ 
tor than nine. From these pigs, with 
proper care and no unforeseen bad luck, 
we believe we are going to raise S2 of 
them. Many people, interested in other, 
breeds, state that the Berkshire is not a 
good milker. All records of tests that 
we can find put the Berkshire at the top 
as a producer of milk, and also as to rich¬ 
ness of the milk. Wo have weighed our 
pigs and find that with very few excep¬ 
tions, in the five weeks elapsing since the 
sows begin to farrow, they have gained 
an average of one pound a day. Our pigs 
and sows and brood sows have not been 
pampered in any way. During the Win¬ 
ter months the sows had ordinary care, 
were fed on pasteurized skim-milk and 
corn on the cob. None of the sows were 
fat, but all were in fair farrowing condi¬ 
tion. It can hardly lie said that the Berk¬ 
shire is not adapted to the New England 
States, for Flintstone Farm is located in 
the heart of the Berkshire Hills, in West¬ 
ern Massachusetts, where the Winters are 
severe. We have a heavy snow fall and 
plenty of zero weather. The majority of 
our hogs are housed in A-shaped houses, 
with long yards in front. They have to 
travel the length of the yard from the 
house to the trough, and thus get their 
exercise to some extent. i.ek hoyce, 
Flintstone Farms, Mass. Manager. 
“Them gua’d house at tho trainin’
