room and hall evenly with delightfully warm, moist, fresh air and burn 
less fuel than you are using now'. 
It takes only a day to install a New Idea because there are no alterations

the labor saved—no lugging coal upstairs nor carrying ashes through 
the house, only one lire to tend; a warm home, a cool cellar. 
The patented frameless feed door construction alone puts the New Idea

Feed for Two Pigs 
What would be the host feeds to buy 
for fattening two pigs, and how much 
and how often should tney be fed to keep 
them growing? Is dried buttermilk good 
for them, as I have no cow? I would 
like to have strong healthy pigs that gain 
all the time. e. b. 
New York. 
If you have an abundance of corn, it 
will be necessary for you to purchase 
only middlings, ground oats, and either 
tankage or oilmeal. to provide a well- 
balanced ration for the pigs. Assuming 
that the corn is of this year’s crop, it 
could appropriately be fed on the ear, as 
it is not possible to grind it until it is 
drier and more matured. As far as the 
other materials are concerned, take a mix¬ 
ture of 10 lbs. of ground oats, 10 lbs. of 
(lients that are of special value. P.eot 
pulp furnishes the one exception as far as 
moistening grain for dairy cows is con¬ 
cerned. The dry pulp is a natural ab¬ 
sorber. and 1 lb. of the material will re¬ 
quire 5 lbs. of water to saturate it. Per¬ 
haps this material is the best substitute 
for silage, yet it does not supply genuine 
succulence. The feeding value of beet 
pulp is based upon the fact that in addi¬ 
tion to the carbohydrates which it carries 
it provides an agency that materially in¬ 
creases the digestibility of either feeds in¬ 
cluded in the mixture. In the absence of 
silage I should surely feed beet pulp to 
cows in milk, although I very much doubt 
the wisdom of including beet pulp in any 
ration for cows of average production, 
whore there is an abundance of silage

wheat middlings, and 2 lbs. of either oil- 
meal or digester tankage, and mix this 
meal into a thick sloppy mixture, ap¬ 
proaching the consistency of buttermilk. 
If the pigs weigh 50 lbs., they should be 
fed a pound and a half of the grain mix¬ 
ture per day. This should include the 
ear corn, as well as the mixture of mid¬ 
dlings, oats and oilmeal. The amount of 
corn can be increased as the pig grows 
and develops; for instance, when he 
weighs as much as 75 lbs., he would be 
eating as much as five or six pounds of 
the grain per day. If you can give him, 
in addition to this, some Alfalfa hay, you 
would make sure that he was properly 
supplied with ash and mineral matter, 
and likewise with an abundance of pro¬ 
tein, so valuable to growing animals. 
Good results have been reported from the 
use of buttermilk or skim-milk by-prod¬ 
ucts, and experience in your own con¬ 
ditions would provide the best means of 
determining their value in your case. 
Grain Ration with Dry Forage 
On page 142,S you advise for cows five 
parts corn or hominy meal, two parts 
ground oats, three parts gluten, one part 
cottonseed or oilmeal (in weight), and all 
the silage and Alfalfa hay they will con¬ 
sume ; 1 lb. of the grain mixture to each 
3% lbs. milk yielded per day. My cow, a 
mixed breed, gives 17 lbs. of milk per day, 
so I give her 5 lbs. of the grain mixture. 
Is it best to mix the grain with water the 
night before, and at what time shall I 
feed and how much each time? I have no 
regular silage as yet. I feed cornstalks 
and hay, but I would like to know how I 
can best arrange it to feed the cow the 
roughage to comply with your method. 
New Jersey. R. n. 
The ration referred to in the above in¬ 
quiry was intended to supplement silage 
produced from dent corn well matured. 
It is not possible to substitute cut eoru 
fodder for silage, inasmuch as one pro¬ 
vides succulence and the other furnishes 
roughage and bulk. Neither is it possible 
to provide the necessary succulence by 
means of adding water to the grain ration 
fed. There is a substantial difference be¬ 
tween succulence and water, as the for¬ 
mer is constituted from the natural juices 
of the growing plant, and contains ingre- 
produced on the farm. When either silage 
or beet pulp are fed, it isigood practice to 
mix the grain with the silage and beet 
pulp at the time it is fed to the cows. 
This does not mean that the dry grain 
should be soaked, and the silage mois¬ 
tened, but rather, the dry grain should be 
spread on the moistened beet pulp after 
the latter has been put in the feeding 
manger. The same p-actice should obtain 
with silage. As to the amounts of grain 
and beet pulp to be fed, one ^should be 
guided by the amount of milk produced 
and by the general physical fitness and 
vigor of the animal. There is an advan¬ 
tage in having the cows freshen in good 
flesh, for if the cows are real dairy ani¬ 
mals this surplus flesh will soon disappear 
and will substantially increase the flow of 
milk. Usually 1 lb. of grain for each 3 
or 4 lbs. of milk produced per day is a 
conservative guide as far as quantity is 
concerned. Successful feeders vary the 
quantity from day to day, and thus de¬ 
termine by actual experiment the amount 
of grain that yields the greatest produc¬ 
tion of milk. Instances are not infre¬ 
quent where cows will yield quite as much 
milk from 10 lbs. of grain as they will 
from 15 lbs., this indicating that there is 
not a close co-ordination between their 
feeding qualities and their ability to pro¬ 
duce milk.

The mammoth cheese, weighing 31.963 
pounds, was a source of wonderment. The 
manager of a $2,500,000 dairy concern in 
Tokio, Japan, was present to study the 
dairy industry of America. lie, with his 
secretary, were sent as delegates by the 
Japanese Government. Scnor Igeniaro 
Quintin Aehoa, a representative of the 
director general of agriculture of Mexico, 
was also present. The British health 
ministry also sent Richard B. Cross of 
London to study American dairy methods.
