Gentlemen: — lam pleased to state that we have used 
SCHUMACHER FEED quite extensively in growing and 
developing our herd. 
It is a great aid in promoting heavy production of milk 
and butter fat. We appreciate it much because of its per¬ 
fect balance which makes it a safe feed to use in large 
quantities when feeding for heavy production. 
We have fed SCHUMACHER FEED with excellent 
results to hogs and horses as well as to the Dairy Herd. 
Yours very truly, 
R. G. KINSLEY. 
Note: 
R.G. Kinsley’s Herd ha9 been making the best record in 
the McGregor Cow Testing Association, which for sev¬ 
eral months has been leading all Testing Associations 
in Iowa, having the best ten highest producing cows. 
The Schumacher Feeding Plan 
Will Help Your Cows Increase Milk Production 
The Schumacher Feeding Plan consists of feeding SCHUMACHER FEED as the carbo¬ 
hydrate part of the ration and BIG "Q” DAIRY FEED as the protein part. These two 
feeds have proven with dairymen everywhere to be the ideal combination for best health 
conditions and maximum milk production. They simplify your ration problem—insure 
greater accuracy and uniformity, and require much less labor. 
SCHUMACHER FEED is a finely ground, kiln dried, carbohydrate ration composed of 
various grain by-products that best supply the necessary maintenance for long time 
milk production. It affords that much needed variety of grains so essential and neces¬ 
sary to keep your cows in tip-top physical condition—to provide stamina and endurance 
to withstand the strain of long milking periods. 
BIG “Q” DAIRY RATION is first, last and all the time a quality protein ration and a 
wonderful milk producer. With SCHUMACHER 
FEED as the maintenance part of the ration and 
BIG “Q” as the milk producing part, you have a 
ration that assures maximum production from 
any cow of any breed. 
SCHUMACHER FEED in addition to being the acknowledged 
best carbohydrate feed for dairy cows, is also splendid for feed¬ 
ing all your farm stock. It puts ‘'pep” and vigor into your 
horses—makes calves and hogs grow fast and produces big 
frames. It restores strength and vitality so dry cows assuring 
maximum milk production during the next lactation period. 
Get a supply of SCHUMACHER and BIG "Q” from your dealer 
—let these feeds do for you what they are doing for thousands 
of other successful dairymen and farmers.

Dairy Ration Without Silage 
(Continued from page 744 
a mixture consisting of seven parts corn, 
two parts of ground oats, and one part 
of digester tankage or oilmeal would give 
good results. It is not necessary to feed 
middlings to pigs weighing 100 lbs., as 
they are an expensive source of digestible 
nutrients. I take it that the pigs are in¬ 
tended for pork purposes: if so. they 
should be fattened and marketed when 
they are seven or eight months old. 
Dairy Ration 
I have a cow that came in about 
two months before time and she has 
never milked as she should. She is a 
good cow. Would you tell me what to 
do and what rations to feed her? I am 
feeding cornstalks and clover hay. silage 
and feed consisting of about one part oats, 
one part rye, two parts buckwheat, five 
parts corn-and-cob meal and one part 
oil-meal. j. D. s. 
New York. 
If your cow produced a premature 
calf it would be quite as well for you to 
delay re-breeding her for at least six 
months. In the meantime she should be 
fed a nutritious ration, aud the combina¬ 
tion that you are feeding is fairly well 
balanced. I should eliminate the rye 
from the mixture and increase the oil 
meal to 250 pounds, so that your ration 
would be about as follows: 300 lbs. corn- 
and-cob meal. 200 lbs. buckwheat, 200 
lbs. oats. 250 lbs. oil meal. 100 lbs. gluten 
meal. I should likewise add 100 lbs. 
wheat bran. Let her have all the corn¬ 
stalks and clover hay that she will con¬ 
sume. and feed her 15, or 20 lbs. of silage 
night and morning. You will be fortunate 
to have this cow resume her full flow 
of milk. Usually cows fail to come to 
their full flow of milk after aborting. 
Restaurant Waste for Hens and Pigs 
I am offered stale bread and meat 
scraps from a restaurant in New York 
City, free of charge, to feed my chickens 
• and pigs. Of course. I shall have to pay 
transportation from New York to Peeks- 
kill. N. Y. Will it pay me to take the 
stuff (3 to 4 lbs. a week! ? Is it safe to 
feed it to pigs? If the bread is fed to 
the chickens, bow is it to be tised? 
New York. w. o. 
Stale bread has about half the feeding 
value, pound for pound, of wheat mid¬ 
dlings. and it could safely contribute 50 
per cent of a ration intended for feeding 
pigs. In itself it is not especially palat¬ 
able. and it should be mixed with corn- 
meal aud some digester tankage, or oil- 
meal added, when fed to young pigs. If 
you fed the meat scraps obtained from 
a restaurant, there would be danger of 
introducing hog cholera. It has been 
demonstrated that the feeding of garbage 
or meat scraps to pigs that are not im¬ 
munized against hog cholera has been 
responsible for the introduction of this 
disease. Of course, if they were cooked 
tin' danger would be considerably lessened. 
You state in your inquiry that you 
propose to get three or four pounds of 
this product per week. Of course, this 
is a very small amount, and I doubt very 
much the wisdom of having such a small 
amount delivered to you. No doubt if 
I you will look around in your own village 
you would find someone who would be 
willing to let you have fresh garbage that 
would be better suited for feeding chick¬ 
ens aud pigs than would be the stale 
bread and garbage that you would obtain 
from the city. In any event, do not rely 
upon the stale bread aud meat scraps to 
constitute your entire ration. Mix them 
with some such grain as mixed oats and 
corn, and do not let them constitute more 
than 50 per cent of your mixture. 
Feeding Brood Sow 
I wish a balanced ration for a brood 
sow which has not yet had her first litter. 
I have no skimmed or buttermilk, no Al¬ 
falfa or clover hay. Have oats aud corn 
and can buy other grains; have shredded 
cornstalks. K. H. 
New York. 
The brood sow will work over the 
shredded corn fodder, but unless there is 
some cull corn anrnng the fodder she will 
obtain very little nourishment from what 
little she would pick over. The only hay 
that is worth while feeding to a brood 
sow is Alfalfa or clover hay, as Timothy 
is practically useless in feeding pigs. If 
you have plenty of corn aud oats I 
would use a ration consisting of 60 lbs. 
of oats, 30 lbs. of corn, 10 lbs. of oilmeal. 
A brood sow weighing 400 lbs. would con¬ 
sume from 5 to 7 lbs. of this material per 
day. 
It is well to feed a brood sow so that 
she will gain about a pound a day during 
her gestation period, ■and this will enable 
her to farrow in good condition and pro¬ 
vide a generous amount of milk, for her 
suckling pigs. The amount of grain should 
be reduced as farrowing time approaches 
and she should be given very little gram 
during the three or four days previous to 
and following the delivery of the pigs* 
Make the ration bulky even though the 
(grain is reduced, but do not make too 
much of a change in the mixture, else the 
I digestive system would become deranged
