The 
DE LAVAL 
MILKER 
Sanitary Trap 
(The Sanitary Trap is not shown in the 
part of the Milker installation pictured 
here. It is placed between the Pulso- 
Pump and the first line of stanchions) 
The Sanitary Trap is one of the 
important features of the De Laval 
Milker. It is placed on the vacuum 
pipe-line, and catches any moisture 
which may be drawn into the vacuum 
line or form there by condensation. It 
also collects particles of scale or other 
foreign matter that may get into the 
system. 
It can be conveniently and quickly 
removed, and may then be washed out 
as easily as an ordinary milk pail; and also permits cleansing 
the entire system. 
The De Laval Milker is distinctly different, possessing 
many new and exclusive features that are of inestimable value 
to the careful dairyman and owner of valuable cows. Its 
action is positive and uniform from day to day, and it is 
faster, more reliable and more sanitary than any other 
method of milking.

A How Can I Get 
l pkC0 More Milk? 
This question is in the mind of every keen dairyman anxious to 
keep his herd on the best paying basis. It can be answered by 
using more intensive methods of feeding — methods that have 
been approved by America’s most successful dairymen. You can¬ 
not pay too much attention to this question of feeding. Upon 
it largely depends the health and milk flow of the cow. 
International Special Dairy Feed 
MIXED RIGHT — PRICED RIGHT 
International Special Dairy Feed is scientifically mixed. Its 
formula has been O.K.’d by experienced dairymen who proved 
that it made more milk. For many years thousands of daiiymen 
have used it exclusively. Give it a fair test. Put one-third of 
your herd on a ration of International 
Special Dairy Feed for three months. 
Can be used as an entire grain ration or 
mixed with home-grown grains. Then 
compare the milk production with results 
secured from other feeds. You will secure 
more milk than from any other mixture of 
similar analysis. Order a ton of International 
Special Dairy Feed from your dealer and 
start making this test at once. It means more 
milk. And more milk means more money.

Value of Brewery Grains 
Would you kindly advise me as to the 
feeding value of fresh brewery grains? 
I can buy them for $6 per ton. They are 
moist but not wet, although the moisture 
content varies. My cows and my horses 
too, are very fond of them. The cows 
will clean up one to two pecks at a feed, 
and the horses will eat a peek 3 times 
a day with relish, and no ill effects that 
I can see. The horses do as well on them 
as on some other feeds, hut as feed for 
cows I do not get much milk out of them. 
I had good success last Winter making 
milk while feeding a peck of grains at 
a feed, supplemented by a moderate 
amount of gluten and hominy. I shall 
winter about 20 head of cattle and while 
this farm will pasture that number, T 
have to buy most of my roughage and all 
my grain for the Winter until such time 
as I can get the farm producing more. 
Should I feed these brewery grains and 
if so what other grains will balance up 
best with them. My experience lots been 
that I have to feed about the regular 
amount of concentrates with the grains 
to get results, but I think it saves hay. 
I can buy hay for about $20 per ton. 
nicely cured corn fodder and oat straw 
for $15. 
Wet brewery grains, where they can 
be obtained fresh from the breweries, 
supply an excellent base for a ration in¬ 
tended for milch cows. They are both 
succulent and nutritious, and are keenly 
relished by the cows. It is necessary, 
however, to supplement them with either 
eornmeal or hominy meal and the addition 
of gluten, especially for cows producing 
more than 25 lbs. of milk per day. Pre¬ 
vious to the enactment of prohibition 
laws wet brewery grains were very gener¬ 
ously fed by dairymen located within 
reasonable distance of breweries, and they 
produced milk very economically through 
i the use of these grains supplemented with 
eornmeal and a suitable roghage. It will 
require about 5 lbs. of the wet grains 
to equal one pound of ordinary grains, 
j and instances are frequently reported 
where as much as 50 or 60 lbs. of the 
wet grains have been fed to a cow per 
day. They should not be looked upon, 
[however, as a roughage, but rather this 
latter material should be supplied as 
mixed hay or Alfalfa hay. as you have 
indicated. You could feed some of the 
oat straw, yet it would be an expensive 
source of digestible nutrients even at 
$15 a tou. It would provide bulk, how¬ 
ever, and this is very essential. 
We have never had any experience 
in feeding wet brewery grains to horses; 
but if they relish them and do well on 
them * no had results would follow their 
use. We did find that dry distillery 
grains were about equal in feeding value 
with oats for use in rations intended for 
feeding work horses, although it was nec¬ 
essary to feed some hominy and bran in 
conjunction with the distillery grains. 
At the price quoted, $0 per ton, the wet 
grains, provided they do not carry ex¬ 
travagant amounts of water, would pro¬ 
vide a base for your dairy ration econom¬ 
ically. Gorumeal or hominy meal supple¬ 
mented with 25 per cent of gluten would 
give you a satisfactory combination. 
Feed for Grade Herd 
Is the following a balanced ration for 
grade dairy cows being fed for cream 
production: Buffalo gluten, 200 lbs.; 
wheat bran, T00 lbs.; cottonseed meal, 
100 lbs.; ground oats. 000 lbs.; standard 
middlings. 400 lbs; oil meal given as re¬ 
quired. This ration will be used in con¬ 
junction with mixed liny and corn silage. 
New Jersey. e. d. s. 
I should modify the combination of in¬ 
gredients you have submitted. You are 
feeding extravagantly of wheat bran, es¬ 
pecially where you feed the amount of 
middlings mentioned. In my judgment 
it is not necessary to combine both wheat 
bran and standard middlings in a ration 
intended for feeding milch cows. Usually 
they are expensive sources of digestible 
nutrients as compared with basic pro¬ 
ducts relied upon to produce either a 
unit of protein or a unit of carbohydrate 
at the lowest unit rate. I would suggest 
the following: Buffalo gluten. 200 lbs.; 
wheat bran, 300 lbs.; cottonseed meal, 
200 lbs.; ground oats, 000 lbs.: eornmeal, 
400 lbs.; oil meal, 100 11ms. 
You will find that the cows will consume 
u<s much as 25 lbs. of silage per day, and 
such amount of mixed hay as they will 
clean up with relish.
