Separator Savings 
De Laval 
users are on 
the profit side 
No machine used oil the farm returns a larger profit on the 
investment than a De Laval Cream Separator. 
It saves from 25% to 50% of cream twice a day every day 
in the year over crocks and pans; and from 10% to 25% of 
cream over an inferior or half-worn-out separator. 
With butter-fat at the present high prices these savings mount 
rapidly. Many thousands of users have found that their De Lavals 
paid for themselves in a few months. De Laval users are always 
on the profit side of the ledger at the end of the year. 
More De Lavals are used than all other makes combined. 
Your local De Laval agent will be glad to dem¬ 
onstrate what an Improved De Laval will save 
you. If you don’t know the nearest agent,

Feeding Cows in Florida 
I would like to get the best aud cheap¬ 
est ration for dairy cows on pasture all 
the time, no roughage, I will give the 
kinds of feeds and price : T.inseod meal 
(old process ). $5.15: Alfalfa meal. $.'1.05; 
wheat shorts, $3.40; wheat bran, $3.15; 
ground white oats. $4.25; cornmeal,, 
$4.15 ; gluten feed. $4.05 ; cottonseed meal, 
$4.25; beet pulp, $4.15; peauut meal. 20 
per cent. $3.95. F. ». 
Florida. 
You do not state the nature of the pas¬ 
ture available. From observation it 
would seem that the meadows through¬ 
out Florida are not especially productive, 
and that many of the farmers rely upon 
the swamp land to provide forage for their 
cattle, though my observation was limited 
to certain sections of the State where 
dairying was not largely followed, the in¬ 
dustry being rather the production of 
poorly fed beef cattle. The onlv grain 
ration that an animal requires where the 
pasture is abundant would consist of equal 
pints of cornmeal and gluten, or corn- 
meal and cottonseed meal. Therefore. I 
would suggest that you use equal parts 
of cornmeal aud cottonseed meal for dairy 
cows having access to pastures that are 
productive and supply some legumes. 
There would be no advantage in feeding 
beet pulp or any of the other feeds men¬ 
tioned at prices quoted. If the grass is 
such that the cows can gather a reason¬ 
able amount of forage during the day it is 
not essential that they be given roughage 
in conjunction with the concentrates. 
Mangels for Cows 
1. I have a piece of old pasture; it is 
low ground and wet in some places, but 
rich. I would like to grow about one acre 
of cattle beets. Would they grow if I 
plowed this sod and worked it up well? 
What fertilizer is necessary and how 
much and what kind of beet seed is best? 
I have had no experience in growing this 
crop. 2. I plan to grow a ration for 20 
grade dairy cows. Is this a good ration 
for six months: 255 bu. oats. 250 bn. 
corn. 75 bu. buckwheat, G tons cattle beets 
and buy 4 tons of gluten, besides corn fod¬ 
der and clover bay? I shall buy four t<ms 
of gluten. A. C. 
New York. 
1. It is natural to turn to mangel beets 
in the absence of silage, but it is the ex¬ 
perience of practical dairymen that the 
cost of producing an acre of beets with 
wages at their present scale is very high, 
While it is true that beets provide an ex¬ 
cellent source of succulence they con¬ 
tribute very little actual dry matter, aud 
it is a Teal problem to grow them under 
average farm conditions. However, if you 
have an area that is relatively free from 
weeds it would be possible to plow this 
land and seed with mangel beets about 
the middle of May. They should be plant¬ 
ed in rows 21 inches apart, and from 8 
to 10 inches in the row. Tt is necessary 
to thin them out. for it is impossible to 
distribute the seed evenly. I wduld use a 
fertilizer mixture of: 200 lbs. of acid 
phosphate. 200 lbs. of ground bone. 1.00 
lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre, broad¬ 
casting this aud working it well into the 
ground previous to seeding. If the area 
is productive it. ought to be possible for 
you to obtain, a yield of. say. 25 to 30 
tons per acre. They should be gathered 
previous to frost, and can be conveniently 
stored either in a root cellar or a pit can 
be dug in the field, lined with straw and 
covered with straw aud dirt. 
2. It is possible to establish a useful ra 
tion for dariy cows by utilizing oats, corn, 
buckwheat middlings, cattle beets and glu¬ 
ten in substantially the proportions that 
you have suggested. 
Ration with Cobmeal 
1. I have corn and cob and oats ground 
together. What should I mix with it? 
Oilineal, $4.50 per owt.; bran. $2.80; glu¬ 
ten. $4. I have Jersey cows and sell the 
cream. Have corn fodder for rough- 
age. 2. What should I feed four-months- 
old pigs with? Separator skim-milk? 3. 
What should I feed eiglit-weeks-old pigs? 
Ohio. G. D. A. 
1. With an abundance of corn and cob- 
meal and oats ground together I would 
purchase only gluten to supplement this 
base, utilizing 500 lbs. of the ground corn 
aud oats and 300 lbs. of the gluten. If 
the cows have been fed considerable grain 
and are in good tlesh. it would be possible 
to utilize 100 lbs. more of the gluten in 
the mixture. 
2. l’igs four months old. with separator 
milk to supplement the grain ration, 
would do well if they were fed 1 lb. of the 
grain mixture consisting of equal parts 
of red <h'g Hour, ground oats and cornmeal 
for each 5 lbs. of the skim-milk. 
3. The eight-weeks-old pigs should be 
fed a mixture consisting of equal parts of 
red dog flour and ground oats and sup¬ 
plied 1 lb. of this mixture with each 4 or 
5 lbs. of milk, and given all that they 
would clean up with relish. After the 
four-months-old pig reached a weight of 
125 lbs. it would be possible to elminiate 
the middlings, increase the Corn and give 
him all of the separated milk he would 
clean up in the proportions suggested.
