The 
DE LAVAL 
MILKER 
The Milker Pail 
The De Laval Milker pail 
embodies several important 
and distinctive features, making it un¬ 
usually substantial and serviceable, as 
well as easy to keep clean. 
The pail is made of sanitary white 
metal, with nickel-plated brass fit¬ 
tings. It is of sanitary design with 
no crevices or sharp corners where 
bacteria might congregate, and is 
heavily reinforced and protected where 
the wear comes— made to give long 
and satisfactory service as other De Laval products. 
The De Laval Milker is positive and uniform in action 
from day to dav, and it is faster, more reliable and more 
sanitary than any other method of milking. Wherever 
cows are milked the world over, the name “De Laval” 
stands for quality and highest value to the user.

PORK 
IN LESS TIME 
Duroc-Jersey hogs have a tendency to put on great amounts 
of pork at an early age. They are easy-feeding animals, and raise large families. 
These hogs were introduced less than 50 years ago, and yet in 1918, 519b of all the 
hogs marketed in the country were “Duroc-Jerseys." They are uniformly red in 
color. Increase your profits by raising Duroc-Jersey hogs.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Thriftless Cow 
I have a cow eight years old which 
freshened two weeks ago. She looked 
well till the time she calved, then grew 
thin, and her milk is thick with slime. 
It will not go through a strainer, and is 
somewhat bloody from one teat. She 
gives about six quarts to a milking, which 
is not half the amount she usually gives 
when fresh. Ts there any remedy for her? 
Massachusetts. c. c. F. 
From your description it would appear 
that the cow was milked up rather close 
to calving time and that the congested 
condition of the udder and the ropy and 
slimy milk was due to her failure to 
have the necessary rest period. It is 
also possible that she may have had ac¬ 
cess to an excessive amount of grain 
before the congestion was all out of her 
udder. My suggestion would he that she 
be denied all grain for a day and given 
a dose of Epsom salts; a pound of the 
salts mixed with- a pound of molasses 
diluted with a quart of warm water 
should be given. If the udder is still con¬ 
gested apply hot fomentations of a nor¬ 
mal saline solution. 
Follow this with a grain ration con¬ 
sisting of equal parts of cornmeal. wheat 
bran, gound oats and oilmeal. Feed her 
all the Alfalfa or clover hay that she will 
clean up with relish and undertake to 
bring her system up to a normal condi¬ 
tion. The chances are that she was 
weakened materially incident to calving, 
and that it will take some time to bring 
her up to her normal flow of milk. If 
she does not have access to pasture grass 
or green forage of some sort. I would 
suggest the use of some moistened beet 
pulp, for this is believed to aid materially 
in the digestion and assimilation of other 
feeds. 
Feeding Jersey Heifers 
My father has one Jersey cow and four 
registered Jersey heifers. lie has Alfalfa 
and hay and about 700 bushels of man¬ 
gel beets. Will you advise a proper 
grain ration to feed? The heifers will 
calve in December, March and April. 
Virginia. K. o. B. 
Feed your Jersey cow and four heifers 
all of the Alfalfa hay that they will eat 
up with relish twice daily. This will 
vary from S to 14 lbs. per day. I should 
feed the mangel beets rather sparingly 
until the animals freshen, after which 
they can be fed from 30 to 40 lbs. per 
day of the beets, properly chopped or 
sliced. As a grain ration for the animals 
previous to calving, I would suggest equal 
parts of corn or hominy meal, ground 
oats, wheat bran and oilmeal. I should 
feed from 5 to 8 lbs. of this mixture per 
day, depending upon the size and condi¬ 
tion of the animals. 
After they freshen more succulence 
should be added, and an equal part of 
gluten added to the above combination. 
It is important that the heifers be in 
good flesh at calving time if it is desired 
that they shall respond with the greatest 
production of milk. Since you have a 
generous quantity of mangel beets you 
could feed 10 or 15 lbs. a day previous to 
calving. 
Weeds in Silage 
I have a field of coni which on account 
of rainy weather and shortage of labor 
was unable to cultivate. Consequently 
the weeds are about as high as corn— 
mostly ragweed. I am told that weeds 
are cultivated in the South for roughage. 
What is their feeding value if cut with 
corn and put into silo, or would it be 
better to cut the corn by hand and leave 
weeds in the field? J. C. O. 
New York. 
A number of instances have been re¬ 
ported where weeds and other waste vege¬ 
tation have been used advantageously as 
silage. The chances are that a consider¬ 
able amount of protein would be supplied 
by the weed seed, and they would not in¬ 
terfere with the keeping qualities of the 
corn silage. It would be better to put 
this combination of corn and weeds into 
the silo, rather than undertake to cut the 
corn and let the weeds go to seed in the 
field. After fermenting in the silo they 
would not germinate. At the New Jersey 
Station one year we put a lot of weeds, 
oats and peas into the silo, and the ani¬ 
mals greatly relished the combination.
