WHY 
CREAM SEPARATORS 
ARE BEST 
There’s a reason for everything, and surely one 
for the superiority of DE LAVAL separators. 
The DE LAVAL was the first continuous discharge centrifugal 
cream separator. Invented in 1878 it has led ever since. The great 
DE LAVAL shops in both America and Europe are devoted solely 
to the production of centrifugal separating and clarifying machines. 
Large staffs of DE LAVAL experimental and developmental engineers, 
in both America and Europe, constantly devote their time, skill and knowl¬ 
edge to the further improvement of the DE LAVAL Cream Separator. 
Every single step of cream separator advancement, 
for forty years, has been DE LAVAL conceived or 
developed. 
On the other band, practically every feature of construction ever used 
in any other cream separator has been one that run-out DE LAVAL 
patents left free. Such features have then always been out of date in the 
later improved DE LAVAL construction, and 
most of them were never quite good enough to 
have been actually used in DE LAVAL 
construction at all. 
It might aptly be said that 
DE LAVAL has forgotten more 
about cream separators than its 
M'f imitators and would-be competitors 
ever knew. 
And then it must be remembered 
that the cream separator, with its 
necessarily high revolving speed, 
great capacity, ease of operation, 
simplicity and durability, is a very 
difficult machine to build right, and 
can only be built right with long ex¬ 
perience, highly skilled employes 
and a vast amount of special equip¬ 
ment. Hence there’s nothing strange 
about the fact of DE LAV AL 
Cream Separator superiority.

Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Ration for Cow on Test • 
0 
Will you give me a ration for testing a 
cotv? I have just made some poor work 
with a new ration. T. w. w. 
New York. 
It is assumed that you have a Holstein 
cow that you are anxious to have ad¬ 
mitted to the Advanced Registry list. Of 
course it is essential that she be supplied 
w ith an abundance of palatable and suc¬ 
culent feed, and oftentimes A. R. O. re¬ 
cords are made without any regard what¬ 
soever to costs of feed or labor. Further¬ 
more, when cows are under pressure, that 
is. when they are being fed extravagant 
amounts of grain, it is essential that 
safety feeds be utilized in order to dissi¬ 
pate auy probable trouble from indiges¬ 
tion. 
You do not state whether you have any 
silage or succulence, or the feed stuffs 
available. Experienced feeders who have 
been successful in establishing high A. 
R. O. records feed very little silage, rely¬ 
ing rather upon such materials as mangel 
beets or beet pulp, or some of the molasses 
feeds to supply the succulence. They 
have also found it advantageous to utilize 
a great number of feeds, even though in 
small quantity, with the thought of add¬ 
ing variety, and thus tempting the ani¬ 
mal’s appetite. There is not only the 
personal equation which centers around 
the man himself who is caring for the 
cow, but animals are like human beings— 
there are certain feeds that they like bet¬ 
ter than others, and the careful herdsman 
will tempt a cow with the things he 
knows .she likes the best. It is not easy, 
therefore, to suggest at long range the 
most useful ration that would be adapted 
for your cows, but the following combina¬ 
tion combines many good qualities: 
For succulence, saturate 12 lbs. of beet 
pulp with 4 lbs. of molasses diluted with 
10 times its volume of water. You will 
find that 1 lb. of beet pulp will require 
5 lbs. of water for complete saturation; 
Feed this amount iu four equal feeds per 
day. I am assuming that the cow is to. 
be milked four times a day. that is. at 
11 p. m., 5 a. m., 11 a. m. and 5 p. ni. 
As. a grain mixture I would use 200 
lbs. of cracked corn, 100 lbs. of ground 
barley. 100 lbs. of oats, 100 lbs. of oil- 
meal. 100 lbs. of gluten. 150 lbs. of bran, 
50 lbs. of cottonseed. By gradually ac- 
eustomin., 1 to this grain ration it 
would be poss:oi«. ; ''•eel practically all 
that she would clean up with relish four 
times a day. It is surprising how much 
grain a cow will consume under pressure, 
although care must be exercised not to 
force the cow off her feed or to introduce 
digestive disorders. 
For roughage I would feed only clover 
or Alfalfa hay. and oftentimes the best 
results follow where the hay is ohopoco 
and mixed with the grain, especially 
where it is possible to saturate the com¬ 
bination with molasses water or moistened 
beet pulp. Common sense added to this 
combination ought to give. results, pro¬ 
vided you have good cows in good condi¬ 
tion to start with. Creditable Advanced 
Registry records cannot be secured from 
cows that are low in flesh at calving time, 
nor from those that have been milked up 
close to their freshening time. Usually 
cows that have been given a long rest 
period and those that freshen iu very 
high flesh qualify with the best records 
both as to butterfat and quantity of milk 
yielded. 
Mdtion with Silage and Stalks 
Will you give, a balanced ration for 
cows? I have mixed clover and Timothy 
hay, cornstalks and good corn silage. 
Also oats, barley and corn for grain. 
New York. t. j. c. 
Feed youi cows all the silage that they 
will clean tip morning and evening. A 
1.000-lb. cow will consume from 35 to 40 
lbs. of good silage. Mix together 100 lbs. 
of oats 200 lbs. of barley. 300 lbs. of 
corn and 400 lbs. of gluten meal, and 
feed a cow yielding 40 lbs. of milk 12 lbs. 
of this mixture. In addition give her all 
of the mixed hay that she will eat once 
a day. If you cannot secure gluten you 
'■•an substitute oilmen! or cottonseed meal 
iu tnis combination, utilizing the same 
amount as is suggested of gluten.

it is to keep track of such things, and 
count them for or against a country. The

money and keep steadily a'ong sawing 
wood. Yes. indeed, we are likely to see 
some stupendous changes take place this

to know that we of the farms have our 
feet firmly planted on terra tirma with 
the will to accomplish and to do as strong 
p.S ever. The farmer’s inilleuium will 
probably be far from taking place in 1920,

look after ten years?” Then learn 
the age of some of the thousands of 
sturdy, good-looking Green Mountain 
Silos dotted over the country. They 
“grow old gracefully.” 
Green Mountain Silos, with the 
popular new hip roof, are fully de¬ 
scribed in our interesting new 1019 
folder. Write for free copy today. 
You’ll always be glad you did so. 
The staves of the Green Mountain

creosote oil preservative. Grooves 
and joints are made to stay tight— 
and they do. 
The hoops are of extra heavy steel, 
with easy-fitting rolled thread. They 
stand the hardest strains. 
The patented Green Mountain door 
is simple and tight—it fits like a re¬ 
frigerator door and keeps the silage 
sweet and palatable. 
The novel Green Mountain anchor¬ 
age system prevents warping and blow¬ 
ing over—“it holds like Gibraltar."
