A Rainy Day Job 
if it prevents the start of contagious disease among your flock or herd, would 
be the most profitable day’s work of the year. You never can tell when an 
epidemic may reach your neighborhood. If it isn’t disease, the presence of 
lice, mites and similar parasites will reduce the health of your stock and 
through the smaller production that follows take part of your profit.

does the work of whitewash and a disinfectant at one operation. It costs 
little in time, labor and money, but brings big returns in the protection it 
affords. It is on the job day and night—guarding your stock and protect¬ 
ing your profits. It may save your whole herd or flock. It at least means 
healthier stock and therefore greater production and larger profits. 
Use It Instead of Whitewash and Disinfectants 
Carbola is a snow white paint in powder form combined with a disinfectant many times 
stronger than Carbolic Acid. It is neither poisonous nor caustic. Harmless to the smallest 
chick or stock that licks a painted surface. It is ready to apply with brush or spray pump 
as soon as mixed with water. It does not blister, flake or peel off. It costs no more than a 
disinfectant alone. One gallon—ten cents’worth of powder—covers 200 square feet. It is 
used and endorsed by leading poul try, dairy and breeding farms and agricultural colleges. 
The dry powder is unexcelled as a lice powder. 
Your hardware, seed, paint or drug dealer has Carbola or can get it. If not, order 
direct—shipment by parcel post or express the day order is received. Order today so you 
will have it on hand when you want it. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof, F. C. Minkler 
Large English Black Hog 
On page 500 you mention the large 
English Black hogs as being large milk- 
el’s. very prolific, and good grazers. Are 
these qualities more prominent in this 
breed than in the Chester Whites. 1 iuroes. 
Large English Yorkshires •and other prom¬ 
inent breeds? The qualities are extreme¬ 
ly desirable. 1 have a strong liking for 
a white hog. hut color cannot stand 4n 
the way of these qualities. Are they 
classed with bacon or lard type? c. F. 
New York. 
It was not intended to suggest that the 
Large English Black hog excelled in graz¬ 
ing or milking qualities other popular 
breeds, such as the Duroc Jersey. Chester 
Whiles or the Large English Yorkshire. 
It has been my observation, however, that 
the Large Black is a particularly good 
forager, and noted especially for its pro¬ 
lificacy and for milking qualities. 
The limiting factors in pork produc¬ 
tion are determined by feeding and breed¬ 
ing qualities, and are not confined to any 
one breed, as we have good and bad rep¬ 
resentatives in each breed. Personally. 1 
prefer the Duroc Jersey or the Chester 
White to the Large Black, largely because 
it is possible to obtain breeding specimens 
of known origin, and that they have been 
refined and brought, truer to type, and 
more nearly meet the requirements of the 
butcher and packer. There are many 
who prefer a white hog to one of any 
other color. This is because they wiil 
dress a cleaner carcass, and there is 
abundant evidence to justify the state¬ 
ment that the Chester White, or even the 
Yorkshire under certain conditions, is 
very well suited for pork production on 
the average farm. 
The Large Black is neither a bacon nor 
an exclusively fat hog type, but more in¬ 
termediate. and perhaps more nearly ap¬ 
proaches the fat type than the bacon type. 
If you have had good results from pro¬ 
ducing Chester White hogs, and have a 
prolific and prepotent strain, I would 
not change to the Large Black. It would 
he hard to obtain pure specimens, and you 
would he likely to have crossbred animals 
of unknown ancestry. 
Figuring a Ration 
We are completing the remodeling of 
our dairy barn, and adding a silo. We 
expect to be ready by June 1 for our Hol¬ 
stein cows. I wish a ration that will be 
the most economical from the following 
feeds, all of which have to be purchased, 
as all we have available is fair quality 
of Alfalfa hay: eornmeal, $3.85; gluten, 
$4.40: cottonseed meal. $4.60: bran. 
$.‘>. 20 ; whole barlev, 8:5.85; linseed meal, 
$4.85. 
Wan we not grow some substitute for 
for>dlage which we can feed green until 
the Fall? i.. n. 
The most likely soiling crop that can he 
planted in the Spring and used for feeding 
dairy cows previous to the opening of 
tlie silo in the Fall consists of equal 
parts h.v measure of oats and Canada field 
peas, seeded at the rate of three bushels 
per acre. It. is important to make the 
planting as early in the Spring as pos¬ 
sible. for peas do not do well in hot 
weather, especially during the dry season. 
They should he cut as green feed when 
the oats are in the milk stage and the 
peas are about* two-thirds in blossom. 
The Michigan Canada field peas are the 
most desirable, and any of the good va¬ 
rieties of oats may he used. It is pos- 
Hhle to use oats and Spring vetch, or 
barley and Spring vetch, as a source of 
green feed, the mixture being two bushels 
of oats and 18 lb>. of Spring vetch per 
acre. 
So far as the grain mixture is eon- 
eoncerned, your attention is called to the 
fact that tile prices quoted on a number 
of the materials are excessive and clearly 
out of range, so far as the prevailing 
prices go. Either linseed meal or cotton¬ 
seed meal ought to be purchased for $3 50 
or $3.75 j»er 100 lbs., rather than $4 60 
find $4.85. as you have indicated. The 
gluten materials, as well as the bran and 
barley, arc widely out of range. I would 
certainly steer clear of any feed dealer 
who quoted such figures. 
A useful combination for dairy cows 
in milk would be as follows: Commeal. 
•‘500 lbs.: wheat brain, 200 lbs. ; ground 
barley. 200 lbs.; gluten, 200 lbs. ; cotton¬ 
seed. 200 lhs.; linseed. 100 lbs.
