Enough to Feed 2,000 Cows 
for One Year 
These 100 carloads were unloaded and mixed in thirty hours, by just 
one of our members. 
The different kinds of feed were carefully analyzed by chemists, and mixed 
to exact, uniform, ready-to-use standards, planned by practical cattlemen. 
And yet, some uninformed people today advocate back-breaking, guess¬ 
work, mixing-on-the-barn-floor with layer cake results. 
Modern methods have come to stay. Steam-driven machinery beats muscle. 
Every bag of mixed feed for horses, cows, steers, hogs or poultry that is 
produced by our members is accurately labeled with its correct analysis 
and true ingredients. 
You are protected by this compliance with the laws of every stace and 
the Federal statutes.

Live Stock Feeding Problems 
Ration for Freshening Cows 
What would bo a good balanced ration 
to feed dairy cows, with good dry liay. and 
how much of each for cows that will be 
fresh within two months, to increase milk 
production? The cows are Ilolsteius. me¬ 
dium size. I have no silage or beet pulp. 
New York. e. h. b. 
Food cows .all the hay they will clean 
up, make up a grain ration of two parts, 
by weight, of bran, one part ground oats 
and one part linseed oil mea l. Feed about 
3 lbs. of grain per head per day until the 
cows freshen. After freshening add one 
part gluten feed to the ration and feed 
about a quart of grain to two quarts of 
milk produced daily. In making up grain 
ration, add 1 lb. of stilt for each 100 lbs. 
of feed. n. F. J. 
Ration for Holsteins 
Would yon give me a balanced ration 
for a herd of registered Holsteins that are 
giving 3.8 per coot milk? Wo are milk¬ 
ing 15, 11 of them being fresh. 
Vermont. R- E. E. 
Since the nature of your roughage is 
not stated two rations will be given. 
First, if von have silage and mixed bay 
feed about 35 to 40 lbs. of silage per 
head per day and all the bay the cows will 
clean up at about three small feeds, fore¬ 
noon. afternoon and evening. Get till you 
eau out of them on roughage. Make up 
a grain ration of two parts by weight of 
bran or ground oats, one part gluten feed, 
one part middlings and one part cotton¬ 
seed meal. Add 1 per cent salt to the 
mixture. If you do not have the silage, 
I should use linseed oilinenl in place of 
cottonseed and grain a little heavier. It 
will take about a pound of grain to 4 lbs. 
of milk produced daily. n. F. J. 
Dairy Ration with Buckwheat 
We have on the farm a large amount of 
buckwheat, barley, oats and corn. We 
wish to make lip a ration for milch cows 
and young stock from this, and likewise 
buy as small amount of high protein feed 
ns possible to go in with this mixture. 
What is the protein of buckwheat? 
New York. E. n. P. 
Buckwheat runs about S per cent di¬ 
gestible protein. If you have clover or 
Alfalfa hay you can get along nicely 
with the following mixture. Equal parts 
by weight of ground buckwheat, barley, 
oats, corn and cottonseed or linseed oil- 
meal. On the other hand if you have 
Timothy or mixed grass hay, this mixture 
would not contain enough protein, and tin- 
following would he better: 100 lbs. buck¬ 
wheat. 100 lbs. barley. 100 lbs. oats. 100 
lbs. corn, 100 lbs. cottonseed meal. 100 
lbs. linseed oilmeal and 100 lbs. gluten 
feed. This would add to cost a good deal 
and you arc fortunate if you have some 
legume hay. Add a pound of stilt to each 
100 lbs. of grain when mixing up ration. 
Feed grain according to production of tin- 
individual cow, giving about a pound of 
grain to 3Vo to 4 lbs. of milk produced 
daily. u. f. j. 
Ration for Cows 
Can you give me a desirable dairy ra¬ 
tion? We are feeding a dairy feed and 
brewers’ grains, Half and half, with silage 
and cornstalks. In the morning we feud 
4 qts. grain per cow, with a heaping bushel 
basket of silage to three cows. After 
morning chores they got all the clover hay 
they will clean up, and at night, grain 
before milking, and stalks afterwards. The 
silage is extra line and lots of corn in it. 
Wo had been feeding it twice a day. but 
thought we might as well use the stalks 
up first; have plenty of them. G. h. b. 
New York. 
With grain at present prices we ought 
to try to get our cows to eat all the whole¬ 
some roughage possible, and make milk 
largely on this roughage. If you have 
enough clover hay I would follow your 
present scheme, except give them some 
clover hay in the afternoon, or perhaps 
better yet, feed cornstalks after silage and 
grain in the forenoon, hay in the after¬ 
noon. silage after grain at night and after 
supper a feed of hay or stalks. Then 
grain should he fed. not every cow alike, 
but in proportion to the milk they give, 
about a quart of grain to 2 qts. of milk 
produced daily. I would make up a grain 
ration of two parts by weight dried brew¬ 
ers’ grains, one part bran, one part mid¬ 
dlings or ground barley, and one part lin¬ 
seed oil meal. Add a pound of salt to 
each 100 lbs. of feed. ir. F. j. 
Another Dairy Ration 
Would you give me a good ration to 
feed my cows? We have oats, buckwheat 
and corn, and clover hay. I would like to 
feed these grains if they are good milk 
producers. Also give me the quantity to 
feed. k. c. B. 
New York. 
Feed all the clover hay cows will clean 
up. Give a feed iu forenoon, afternoon 
and evening. Make up a graiu mixture 
of one part by weight of ground buck¬ 
wheat, one part ground oats, one part 
corn meal and one part cottonseed or lin¬ 
seed oilmeal. Add 1 lb. of salt to each 
100 lbs. graiu and feed about a quart of 
grain for each 2 qts. of milk produced 
daily, feeding individual cows according to 
production. h. f. j.
