Butter Fat Records In 
Every Section 
T HE best way to prove that the Jersey is 
the most adaptable cow is to look at 
the official R. of M. records in any section. 
In the North, South, East and West — Jerseys show their 
superiority. 
If you want cows thatyield the richest milk from the least feed — 
you must get Jerseys. 
If you want cows that are adaptable to any climate—you want 
Jerseys. 
If you want cows that mature early and don’t outlive their use- 
ulness as soon as other breeds—get Jerseys. 
Jerseys are known as the Pride—Prize—Profit breed. Always gen¬ 
tle in disposition, noble-looking, with a well-rounded udder of large 
capacity, and prominent milk veins. 
Jersey Milk averages 5.37% butter fat. In every market, Jersey 
milk, Jersey butter and Jersey cheese bring the highest prices. 
Know more about Jerseys. Write today for a summary of 12,000 
official years’ tests, together with records in your state, and infor¬ 
mation concerning our Register of Merit Department.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Molasses for Pigs and Cows 
1. Will you give i-ation for feeding mo¬ 
lasses to pigs about, three or four months 
old. also kind and ration of dry feed in 
a hopper for pigs? 2. What amount of 
molasses may be given to dairy cows? 
New Jersey. n. m. l. 
1. Molasses would not be well suited 
for feeding pigs three oV four months old. 
Although it is about equal to cornmeal 
in its carbohydrate content, it cannot be 
fed in generous amounts, owing to the 
fact that it is very laxative, and when 
fed in large quantities it is very apt to 
derange the digestive system. Therefore, 
if you are feeding a mixture of corn, mid¬ 
dlings and tankage, the addition of 15 per 
cent of molasses by weight would be quite 
sufficient to increase the palatability of 
the mixture. The molasses would best, 
be diluted with warm water and mixed 
with the grain and fed in the form of a 
thick slop. As for a ration designed to 
give good results in a self-feeder I would 
suggest feeding corn or hominy meal, 
ground oats, and digester tankage, as¬ 
suming that the pigs are at least four 
months old, and provided they weigh 120 
lbs. Oats are included in the mixture 
because they are more economical than 
corn at the present time, and there is 
everything to be gained by adding variety 
in rations for growing and fattening pigs. 
2. So far as molasses is concerned for 
dairy cows, here again there is some ques¬ 
tion as to its usefulness and economy in 
a ration. The best results follow, how¬ 
ever, where 1 lb. of molasses is diluted 
with 5 lbs. of warm water, and this ma¬ 
terial is poured over the grain mixture. 
A useful combination would be 5 lbs. 
cornmeal, 3 lbs. of gluten. 1 lb. of oilmeal, 
and 2 lbs. of molasses. 
Ration for Guernseys 
What is the best ration I can feed 
registered Guernseys, milking an aver¬ 
age of 35 lbs. a day? They weigh from 
900 to 1.100 lbs. I have no silage, but 
good pasture and mixed hay. I am feed¬ 
ing at present 1,000 lbs. chop feed, 000 
lbs. bran, 300 lbs. gluten, 200 lbs. cotton¬ 
seed, 200 lb? middlings, 200 lbs. oilmeal, 
200 lbs. hominy, all mixed together. I 
am feeding about 10 lbs. per head. My 
cows are in good shape, but seem to get 
a little too fat on this ration. c. c. S. 
South Euclid, O. 
The mixture that you are feeding to 
your dairy cattle is faulty, inasmuch 
as it contains an excess of wheat bran, 
and at the present prices you can scarcely 
afford to feed wheat middlings. I do not 
know just what you refer to when you 
suggest chop feed, but. assuming that this 
is some corn by-product, I will say that 
here again you may be a little extrava¬ 
gant in its use. I would suggest the fol¬ 
lowing grain Nation : 500 lbs. hominy or 
cornmeal, 300 lbs. gluten, 100 lbs. oilmeal 
and 100 lbs. bran: i(i lbs. of grain for a 
cow yielding only 35 lbs. of milk a day is 
by far too much concentrates, and you 
would no doubt get just as much milk if 
you reduced this grain ration to half the 
amount. It is not necessary to feed any 
bran to dairy cows having access to good 
pasture; but you will find that hominy 
and gluten in proportion of five parts of 
hominy to two parts of gluten would 
make a very satisfactory ration. The 
reason that your cows are putting on flesh 
is due to the fact that they have been fed 
extravagantly of corn, and T am sure 
that you will get quite as good results by 
reducing this ration very materially. 
Co-operative Cattle Buying 
As an instance of what the Farm Bu¬ 
reaus of New England are doing, we are 
told how several farmers in Providence 
County, Rhode Island, got together and 
bought a carload of cattle in Maine. This 
bunch of cows consisted of 11 purebred 
cows, and two calves and three grade 
cows. They were picked up at good farms 
and driven to a central shipping station, 
where they were tested for tuberculosis 
and allowed to rest before shipment. It 
seems that the total cost of transporting, 
testing, feeding and handling the cattle 
amounted to $15 50 per cow, and the 
average price of the 14 cows was $175. 
The purebred cattle brought $181 and the 
grades $153. The distribution of cattle 
in this way from one point to another is 
going on all over the country, and is sure 
to have a great effect upon the future 
cattle business. 
Thumps 
I have some pigs which seemed all 
right until about two weeks old, and then 
at the least exertion seemed all tired out 
and almost unable to breathe. They lived 
a few days, then died. The liver was 
much enlarged, the heart was also en¬ 
larged. lungs apparently all right. What 
was the cause and remedy? K. s.

ARTHUR R. FREEMAN, Pulaski, N.Y. 
We suspect that the pigs had “thumps” 
due to overfeeding and lack of exercise, 
‘but dust from bedding may cause similar 
symptoms of mechanical bronchitis or 
bronchial pneumonia. To avoid thumps 
make sows take active exercise every day 
throughout pregnancy and do not feed 
heavily either on corn or protein rich 
feed. Keen the bowels active at all times.
