'Production of Milk Falls Off When 
Unable to Get Bull Brand” says A. R- Sedgley 
Mr. A. R. Sedgley, of Athol, Mass., wrote, “Please enter my order 
for thirty tons of Bull Brand Dairy Ration. I have been using this 
feed for the past year and have obtained such excellent results with 
it that I think I owe a letter of appreciation. The few times that 
I have been unable to obtain this feed, I have been obliged to use 
of the so-called “Balanced Rations” that have been sold in some 
Athol, but each time have found that my cows have fallen off 
in milk. Their former production has been brought back just 
as soon as being fed Bull Brand Dairy Ration.” 
Right in your vicinity feeders are 
making similar records with “ Bull 
Brand.’’ Ask us for their names. 
What “ Bull Brand 
is— 
a clean honest feed, containing 24% 
Protein or 20.5% digestible protein; 
5% Fat or 4.5% digestible fat; 5()% 
Carbohydrates and only 12% Fibre. 
It is a scientifically balanced ration— 
sufficiently bulky to avoid digestive 
and udder troubles; with the maximum 
number of digestive nutrients and 
sufficient digestible protein and fat 
to produce a maximum milk yield of 
highest butterfat value without im¬ 
pairing the health and condition of 
the cow. Made from such digestible 
and nutritious feeding materials as 
Dried Brewers Grain. Old Process Oil 
Meal, Cottonseed Meal. Corn Gluton 
Feed. Cocoanut Meal. Ground Barley 
and a small percentage of fine table 
salt. It can be fed with the usual 
roughages — no extra feedingstuffs 
required. 
Try It on Our “ Make Good ” 
Guarantee 
Prove to yourself that you can dupli¬ 
cate the results which other feeders 
are obtaining with ‘‘Bull Brand.” 
Here is our guarantee; “Feed ‘Bull 
Brand’ to three or more of your 
cows in accordance with our direc¬ 
tions. If the results of this test do 
not prove satisfactory to you, we 
will refund your money for the feed

ZAeHandsomest and Strongest I 
SILO Made 
Craine triple wall silos harmonize with 
the finest farm buildings. Their smooth, 
handsome appearance is unmarred by 
ugly, bothersome, loose hoops and lugs. 
And this great silo is as strong as it is beautiful. 
It has an inner wall of closely fitted staves; 
wall between of special heavy weather-proof 
and the famous smooth-finish Crainelox 
covering. This is a continuous, patented 
covering that provides strength to every 
square inch of the silo. 
This 3-wall construction keeps 
warmth in and cold out; it is a 
real air-tight, frost-repelling and 
strongly supported silo. Once 
erected it stays put without 
tinkering.

Pasture and Barn Notes 
Spring Cows. —We dislike to have 
cows freshen at this time of year. Usual¬ 
ly such cows as do have been carried all 
Winter dry. and have been roughed 
through so that they are not in the best 
of condition; yet, probably because it is 
the natural time of year, a cow that fresh¬ 
ens in April always seems to milk well, 
which means that she adds to, or rather 
causes, the general surplus of that month, 
and of May and June. Then unless she is 
an unusually persistent animal, she will 
begin to slacken up in July and August, 
and by November be practically dry, 
which means that while she may have 
made a great impression by giving 40 or 
30 lbs. of milk a day in the Spring, that 
she has finished her year’s work in dis¬ 
grace. At least, such is our experience. 
Killing Young Calves.—A good 
many men. and the fellows on our farm 
are among them, hate to kill a young calf. 
The result is that a calf is dropped which 
everybody agrees should he killed at once, 
but which instead is put off in some cor¬ 
ner of the barn and kept along, often for 
days, because no one gets up the courage 
to knock it in the head. It is easy to un¬ 
derstand why men won’t act in such a 
case, hut it certainly would he hotter 
many times if they would. We make the 
guess that a good many inferior dairy 
cows are alive today (we have thorn in 
our own dairy) because some tender¬ 
hearted fellow couldn’t get up nerve 
enough to kill them, and because he did 
not see the way clear to spare enough 
milk to veal them. 
The Cow Dog. —The old-time cow dog 
has pretty well disappeared. Cows are 
too valuable, the price of milk too high, 
and the margin of profit too narrow, to 
indulge in the old-fashioned pastime of 
racing a bunch of cows around with a 
dog. Yet a well-trained collie or shepherd 
dog is today a valuable asset on any 
dairy farm. Dogs can he trained to drive 
cows as quietly as a man. and can be 
used to advantage in rounding up a dairy 
in the pasture, in teaching young stock Jo 
drive, and in helping around the barn. If 
all depends upon the dog and the man 
who handles him. 
Tiie Tuberculin Test. —Probably no 
single factor connected with the raising 
of purebred live stock has caused the loss 
of as much sleep and as much mental 
agony as the tuberculin test. Only those 
who have been through it can realize the 
thoughts of the man who sees his pure¬ 
bred herd developing, perhaps from one 
or two animals bought at a sacrifice, and 
wonders as he looks at it what its real 
value is. Well he knows that if he comes 
to sell, the buyer will demand a tuber¬ 
culin test. If lie is intelligent enough to 
have purehreds. he will realize full well 
the uncertainty of the results of such a 
test. Again, only the man who has been 
through it can appreciate the agony that 
a new breeder experiences during the 
course of his first test. Perhaps he has 
sold a bunch of animals for what to him 
is a record-breaking price. ■ The results 
of the test will determine whether he is 
to get this price or the price of beef and 
less. The answer to the whole question is 
yet to be found. The Federal accredited 
herd plan meets the situation in some 
cases, but not in all. No test and take 
your chances is another way; sometimes 
a winner, sometimes a loser. In our own 
experience we have both won and lost. 
We have nothing to advise. Like a lot of 
other dairymen’s questions, we can do 
little more than discuss it. Perhaps jus't 
thinking about it will show some fellow 
a way out. dairyman.

Death of Pigs 
A sow with pigs about. 10 or 12 weeks 
old. all died. Can you tell me what was 
the trouble with them? I bad uine little 
pigs which ate well, but if they got wet 
from their feed would shiver and get 
humped up. I would cover them all right 
at uight and in the morning would find 
one or two unable to walk, and in a 
short time they died; seemed unable to 
use their hind legs. They had a good 
house, used cornstalks and shavings for 
bedding. f<-d middlings and garbage.

< larbage is unsuitable and dangerous 
feed for little pigs, and hogs to be fed on 
it first should be immunized against chol¬

he deems best. One at a distance cau-
