dry, since the salt is more thor¬ 
oughly dissolved, the butter is in 
better condition, and a more uni¬ 
form color is assured. The method 
cannot be used satisfactorily in a dasher 
churn, and works in a barrel or box churn 
only when the butter is kept in a granular 
form up to time of salting. If the butter 
is salted dry on worker, threequarter 
ounces of salt to each pound of butter will 
be enough, and the butter maker will have 
to tell by the appearance of the butter 
when it has had all the working it will 
tand. Always avoid patting or stroking 
butter too much with paddles when work¬ 
ing or printing it. Butter does not like 
to be petted. It goes against its grain 
very much. __ 
Keeping Butter in Brine 
Will you give me directions for pack¬ 
ing printed butter in brine? It was 
printed in The It. N.-Y. last year, and 
I failed to save it. It said to put on two 
wrappings of butter paper, but that is all 
I can remember. How long can butter be 
kept by this method? MRS. M. B. 
Dover, Del. 
The jars should first be scalded out:; 
next, make up a brine strong enough to 
float an egg. This will require about 
one-fourth as much salt as water. I he 
water should be boiled before the salt is 
added. Wrap each print in two papers 
and tie them on. The prints are then 
packed in the jar and a follower, such as 
a stone plate, or a wooden circle or a con¬ 
crete block, is placed on the butter. Place 
a clean stone on top of the follower to 
keep the prints submerged. Pour the 
brine over the butter until it is entirely 
covered over. From time to time it may 
be necessary to add fresh brine to keep 
jar full. If butter is made out of clean 
flavored cream and stored where air is 
pure and cool as possible, it will keep in 
very good shape from Summer around 
into the following Winter. H. F. J. 
Feeding a Family Cow 
My cow is nine years old (Durham), 
expected to freshen in March. She has 
dropped down in her milk 1% Qts. a 
month since September 1. I am feeding 
a prepared cow feed, the label calls for 
ground oats, cornmeal, corn bran, equal 
parts. I have plenty of corn fodder and 
she only eats the leaves, so we strip stalks 
and will chop them later. Morning feed 
a bunch of leaves off corn, one forkful of 
hay. 4 lbs. of mash dry, one ear of corn. 
Middle of the day she is on grass. Same 
amounts of feed in evening. Am I feed¬ 
ing correctly? How much feed will she 
need to keep her in condition when she 
goes dry? I keep a block of salt beside 
her. besides add salt to the mash. 
New J ersey. e. j. e. 
I would suggest: that, you get some 
gluten feed and some linseed oilmeal. 
Dump in a pile on the barn floor 100 lbs. 
of the feed vou are now using, 100 lbs. 
of gluten, 100 lbs. of linseed oilmeal and 
3 lbs. of coarse fine salt. Shovel pile over 
about three times to mix well. Feed about 
a quart of this mixture for each two 
quarts of milk produced daily, dividing 
the feed between night and morning 
feeds. When she is dry just give enough 
grain to keep her in good condition ; about 
three quarts a day should be enough.

Grain With Uneared Silage 
Will you give me a ration for cows that 
are fed a mixture of Timothy, clover and 
June grass hay? They have silage with 
but few ears that were developed. 
New Hampshire. e. o. f. 
Feed 35 to 40 lbs. of silage per head 
per day plus all hay cows will clean up. a 
small feed in forenoon, one in afternoon 
and one after supper. Grain is so high 
we nust get all the nutriment into our 
cows in form of home-grown feed they will 
take. Make a grain mixture of three 
parts by weight of bran, one part gluten, 
% part cornmeal or hominy, and one part 
cottonseed meal. Add 1 lb. salt to each 
100 lbs. feed, and feed 1 lb. of grain to 
each 4 lbs. milk produced daily.

Ration for Holsteins 
How much grain must I feed to keep 
the stock in good shape, purebred cows 
that will freshen in May or June? They 
are Holstein cattle, and the feeds that I 
can buy are bran, shorts, cracked corn, 
red dog, oats and corn and oilmeal. I 
have plenty of clover and Timothy hay. 
They include two milking cows, two dry 
cows and one two-year-old heifer, also one 
bull calf, six mouths old, which I want to 
keep on growing. G. w. W. 
Wisconsin. 
Feed to all the stock all the clover and 
Timothy hay they will clean up, at least 
three feeds a day. Make up a grain ra¬ 
tion of three parts by weight of bran, 
one part cracked corn and 1% parts oil¬ 
meal. Feed milking cows about a pound 
of grain for each 4 lbs of milk produced 
daily. Give enough grain to the dry cows 
to keep them gaining in flesh so they will 
freshen in good condition. Three to five 
pounds a day should be enough. The 
same rule would apply for the bull calf 
as for the dry cows. Keep him in good 
flesh and growing. At his age about 
three or four pounds of the grain suould 
suffice if he has plenty of hay, b. F. J. 
Winter Milk Production 
Never before have dairymen been asjparticular about 
the money-value of the feed they buy. This is the reason 
why the most successful dairymen are buying and feeding 
Happy Cow Feed 
This famous dairy ration is the best 
all-year feed for your cows. It is 
making new high records in winter 
milk production, and it is making the 
herd-owners happy. 
You will get more value out of 
HAPPY COW FEED—pound for 
pound—than any other feed you can 
buy. It took us years to perfect it. 
There is no guesswork about it. 
HAPPY COW FEED is made of cotton 
seed meal, corn meal, cocoanut meal, vel¬ 
vet bean feed, unhulled 
peanut oil feed and alfalfa 
meed. It is a complete ration 
properly balanced. 
(24 per cent protein) 
You can’t beat these ingredients for 
dairy feed. Some of them are grown 
only in the South. They have been 
the back-bone of Southern dairying 
for many years. 
Memphis is one of the largest feed 
manufacturing centers in the world, 
and Happy feed is the largest line of 
feeds made in Memphis. All these 
feeds are pure and of the best quality. 
Put your cows on HAPPY COW FEED 
and you’ll greatly increase your winter milk 
production. There is a good dealer near 
you. If you do not know him, write us 
for his name.

Clipped Cows Mean Clean Milk 
Wide awake dairy farmers assert that it’s next to impossible to obtain 
milk with low bacteria counts without clipping. They clip their cows on 
udders and flanks at frequent intervals during the winter and early spring, 
which makes cleaning quick and easy and keeps dirt 
and other filth out of the milk. Here’s what two of 
them say: 
JELKE DAIRY FARM 
Dundee. Ill., Nov. 7,1919. 
A clipping machine is about the most important thing used 
in a dairy barn to get clean milk, as well as to keep the cows 
clean with much less work. When a cow is not dipped, all 
the manure sticks to her hips, legs, udder and sides, and it is 
impossible to get sanitary milk. No matter how careful a 
man may be. it is bound to get into the milk. Clipping a cow 
does not take much longer than to clean her well—after clip¬ 
ping the cleaning is a very small job. 
J. P. TUCK, Manager. 
BROOK HILL FARM 
Genesee Depot. Wis.. Nov. 6.1919. 
_We find clipping our cows a necessity both from the stand¬ 
point of saving labor and of cleanliness. In maintaining a 
high standard of milk production clean cows are necessary 
and only clipped cows can be kept clean. 
HOWARD T. GREENE, Sec'y.
