Pick Out One Cow to 
Prove This Guarantee 
That’s the whole essence of the Larro proposition to you— 
two sacks of Larro must increase the yield of any cow you 
select or you get your money back at once. 
This Guarantee Has Stood Back 
of Larro for Seven Years 
This is the same guarantee of more 
milk which has stood back of Larro for 
seven years. To the man who is not yet 
a Larro user it is an absolute promise 
of better results from his cows — to the 
veteran Larro user it is double assurance 
that Larro today is the same as it was 
in the beginning—that its quality will 
never be changed.

at Once 
The Larro guarantee means just what 
it says—you get more milk or your 
Money Back—and the Larro dealer is 
ready to supply you at once. No matter 
how much milk your cows are producing 
on their present ration, Larro is guar¬ 
anteed to make them produce more. If 
your local dealer does not have Larro in 
stock write us for complete information.

Live Stock Questions 
Anjwered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Live Stock Management on Small Place 
1. My Jersey cow, to calve second time 
iu about three months, is in good con¬ 
dition. Her first calf was horn last Feb¬ 
ruary, and also looks good and is a hearty 
eater. Am I feeding correctly, sufficient¬ 
ly and economically? Cow is giving now 
7 to S lbs. milk per day. while at first 
she gave 17 to 19 lbs. I am feeding the 
cow 3 lbs. stock feed and Buffalo gluten. 
5 lbs. sweet corn stover, stripped weight, 
mixed clover hay. as much as she will 
eat, aboult (i lbs. The above morning and 
night; noontime, hay. The heifer re¬ 
ceives 2 lbs. bran, 1 lb. gluten. 5 lbs. hay, 
5 lbs. corn stover, morning and night; 
noontime, liay. Should 1 keep up the 
above feeding, which, according to the 
looks of tlie animals, i- agreeable, or 
would you suggest a change? 2. Should 
the feed be changed for the cow during 
the six weeks f intend to have her dry? 
3. As corn stover at- the rate of 5c per 
bundle costs l%e per lb. of useful ma¬ 
terial. is not tlic clover hay at $3 per 
ewt. cheaper, as well as more convenient? 
Could i omit buying stover next year? 
4. As I must buy every pound of feed 
and roughage, what would you feed to 
be the most economical and at the same 
time getting flic best results? 5. I used 
for my chickens last year total of five 
tons of scratch and mash, and will prob¬ 
ably need eight tons this year. As 1 can 
grind my own feed from tile whole grain, 
can you block out feed for cow and calf 
(heifer), as well as chickens, which T 
can buy in larger quantities and save ad¬ 
ditional costs? I need not tell you that 
each dollar saved is two dollars earned; 
hut as such is the cast*, can I save money 
on the feeding? I am paying K4.10 for 
grain and $4.45 for mash through dealer. 
Would direct dealing be worth while? 
Iowa costs $5.<50. gluten $4. also through 
a dealer. 
(>. I have been building up my ground 
(three acres) and stock for the past six- 
years. reinvesting the money earned by 
the different portions, and have endeav¬ 
ored to apportion each so it can he taken 
care of and keep busy one person ail year 
around (except picking time), and at the 
same time to bring in returns practically 
each week. My ambition is for an in¬ 
come of $1.4)00 minimum, to be derived 
as follows: 
Strawberries (3.0)H* qts.). $200 
Raspberries (3,000 pts.). 200 
Currants, grapes ami gooseberries 50 
Peaches and plums. 150 
Apples and pears. 50 
Chickens and eggs (300 chickens) . 550 
Total .$1,000 
This is based on quantity of each re¬ 
quired to make the above-named sums, 
figuring only 50 per cent of the profits 
for the past four years. 1 will have the 
above amounts on the place by this Fall, 
so that next year will return at least $N00 
if some one item should fail. Ho you 
not agree that $1,000 and everything pos¬ 
sible to be grown for the house is a com¬ 
fortable amount for a small family? 
7. Using chicken manure and com¬ 
mercial fertilizer on bearing berries, put¬ 
ting cow manure and chicken manure on 
ground being prepared for strawberries 
and planted to vegetables for one season, 
do you think I could omit using com¬ 
plete fertilizer and use only phosphate 
rock tn supplement the manure, ussing the 
phosphate on the dropping boards and 
stable floor? Of course. I use lime as 
required on the ground when planting 
crops, preferring it, hut this is generally 
when plowing under "Id strawberry beds 
and green manures. 
I find my best way to treat chicken 
droppings is to heap same amongst the 
other manure and ra kings all Winter 
long, and in the Spring take the mixture 
and spread where required. Poultry- 
house floor is cleaned out and put directly 
on the raspberries in Spring and rye or 
clover ground iu the Fall. w. k.

1. If you will feed your dry cow a ra¬ 
tion consisting of 2.0 lbs. oats, 30 lbs. 
bran. 50 lbs. corn and in lbs. gluten or 
oilmeal. you will find that she will do bet¬ 
ter, and that she will be red more eco¬ 
nomically than will result from the ration 
you are now feeding. You could profit¬ 
ably feed more than the 5 lbs. of sweet 
corn stover. Furthermore. I am sure 
that if the cow is given all of the mixed 
clover hay she will cl**au up with relish 
she will eat more than 0 lbs. per day. 
In fact, she will cat nearer 20 lbs. if she 
is allowed free access tu the hay under 
the conditions you have described. So 
far as the heifer is concerned. I would 
say that a ration consisting of equal 
parts of corn. oats, bran and gluten would 
give you good results, and she likewise 
should be given all‘of the hay that she 
would clean up with relish. It would 
he well to alternate the corn stover with 
the hay, or. if the hay is fed morning 
and night, she should lie given as much 
stover as she would clean up in the mid¬ 
dle of l In- day. 
2. The ration that T have suggested 
would he very well adapted for feeding 
this cow during her dry period, as it is 
important that she should pur ou a con¬ 
siderable amount of flesh during this 
period. When she comes into her flow 
of milk again after giving you should
