T HE cows surely like Union Grains—and that’s Nature’s way of showing 
that it’s good for them. It contains just the right elements to make cows 
happy and healthy, with the big flow of milk that it is sure to bring. 
Hundreds of the most successful dairymen who are feed experts themselves 
use Union Grains because in careful tests in which they weighed the milk 
and figured the cost of feed—Union Grains proved itself more economical. 
It saves the time and trouble of mixing, too, and makes it possible to use 
that time to better advantage. Feed Union Grains and you know the feed 
is always right. Know where you make and where you lose money by 
keeping a Ubiko Cost Sheet. It v/ill tell you which feeds and which cows 
pay best. Write for it. It’s free. 
We also make Ubiko Calf Meal, Ubiko Stock Feed, 
Ubiko Pig Meal and Ubiko Poultry Feeds.

New Jersey Holstein Men Meet 
Saturday, August 21, was a banner day 
for New Jersey Holstein breeders. For 
about a year things have been livening 
up among the New Jersey Holstein men. 
Somerset County started things going 
August, 1919, with plans for an organ! 
zation of breeders of Hunterdon and 
Somerset counties. Then came the 
Salem-Cumberland Association, followed 
by Warren. Mercer and Morris counties. 
Three of the clubs have held sales with 
good success. New Jersey is to put on 
a State campaign for a paid secretary, 
September 12 to 23. President Aitkeu 
and II. V. Pollock are going to spend 10 
days in the State for this purpose. 
New Jersey had the first 40-pound cow, 
and some of the best breeding in the 
country has originated there. The State 
has 120,000 Holsteins and stands twelfth 
in the list of States. Among the well-known 
breeders are Allamuchy and Tranquillity 
Farms, home of King of the Ormsbys and 
King of the Sadie Yales; Pequest Farms, 
home of the .$100,000 bull, King Pontiac 
Hengerveld Fayne; Bloomingdale Farms, 
owned by the late A. A. Cortelyou, home 
of King Model; Forsgate Farms, with 
100 purebred females and eight cows on 
semi-official test, and Raneoca.s Stock 
Farm, where some of the best cows of the 
country are being brought together. 
At the meeting at New Brunswick, 
Aug. 21, about 50 enthusiastic breeders 
were present. G. D. Brill of Forsgate 
Farms and president of the State Associa¬ 
tion introduced Dr. J. G. Lipman, Director 
of the Experiment Station. Dr. Lipman 
urged the strengthening of the association. 
He was followed by John Ridgeway of 
the Salem County association, who told 
of the work of Mr. Bullard, the secretary 
of their local club. He said that outside 
of one other local club in the West, the 
Salem-Cumberland club was the only one 
to have a paid secretary. He said that 
Mr. Bullard, although he had only been 
on the job two months, had made his 
salary both months. lie said that the 
men in that section were so interested in 
the black and whites that they had gone 
done in their pockets and put up enough 
money to assure the success of a paid 
secretary for the first year. 
The next speaker was R. V. Pollock 
of the Holstein-Friesian Association of 
America. After Mr. Pollock had talked 
to the dairymen for a few minutes he 
called for a vote as to how many thought 
a paid secretary for the State organiza¬ 
tion would be worth while. Every man 
voted in the affirmative. When Mr. Brill 
called for a vote on whether New Jersey 
should put on a campaign or not, the 
vote was again unanimous that a cam¬ 
paign be started. New Jersey will be 
the fifth State to have a paid secretary. 
Although known as the Garden State, 
New Jersey produces annually about 
$30,000,000 worth of dairy products, or 
practically one-fifth of the total valuation 
of agricultural products of the State. 
Meetings in the local counties during 
the campaign will be in charge of the 
presidents of the local clubs. These 
men are: Salem-Cumberland, Walter 
Garrison, Roadstowu, N. J.; Mercer 
County, Dewitt Green, Trenton R. F. D.; 
Warren County, Ernest Race, Belvidere, 
R. F. I).; Somerset-Hunterdon, John 
Tine, Lebanon, N. J.; Morris County, L. 
F. Castle, Long Valley. A great deal of 
credit for this move is due to the interest 
that the County Agents have taken in 
this organization. joiin w. bartlett. 
Drying Off Persistent Milker 
I have a cow which had a fine calf last 
June, a year ago. She was sick five 
months and did not calve this year. She 
will be fresh next February. She milked 
last year after calving 00 lbs. milk a day, 
and is milking now 35 to 40 lbs. a day, 
after 14 months’ milking. Would you 
advise me to dry her up sooner than 
usual? I would like to handle her right, 
because I believe she is a very good cow. 
New York. A. E. 
The cow is a most persistent milker, 
but the milk secretion should be dried off 
for at least two months before calving. 
If she is now strong and healthy, she may 
be milked up to the period suggested. If 
she is thin and weak, she should be dried 
off as soon as green feed is unavailable.

Convert Roughage into 
Dairy Products with 
Purebred Holstein 
Cattle 
Cows that convert the roughage of your 
farm into the best of milk, butter, veal 
and beef are worth more to you than cows 
that are particular about their food. If 
you sell your milk for direct consumption, 
to a cheese factory, or condensary. of 
bourse, you won’t consider any other 
breed. When it comes to butter, bear in 
mind that the separator shows that the 
Holstein cow still leads. If you have any 
young stock you need all that extra skim 
milk.
