Farm Hands Enough 
to do all the work, including the necessary “cleaning-up,” may be hard to 
get, but here is help that more than cuts in half the time and labor needed 
to first whitewash and then disinfect. It’s a better-than-whitewash paint 
and disinfectant combined, put on in one easy operation instead of two, 
and with better results. 
Ss a white paint in powder form combined with a disinfectant neither poisonous nor caus¬ 
tic, but many times stronger than pure carbolic acid. I'.is turned intosmooth-spreading 
liquid paint simply by mixing with water—no waiting or straining. Can be applied to 
Wood, brick, stone or cement, or over whitewash with a brush or spray pump. It will not 
clog the sprayer, or blister, flake or p-'nl off. One gallon—one pound of the powder— 
covers 200 square feet. Mixed today and applied whenever convenient—on a rainy day. 
Carbola kills lice, mites, fly-eggs, etc., and helps prevent the germs of contagious 
diseases—roup, canker, mange, glanders, white diarrhea, contagious abortion, etc.—from 
getting a start and spreading through flocks and herds. It is harmless to the smallest 
chick or stock that licks a painted surface. It makes it easier to do work that must 
be done and it works day and night—a constant protection for your profits. 
Use It Instead of Whitewasji and Disinfectants 
to paint health and sunshine into the dark corners of poultry houses, stables, pig pens, cellars, garages, 
warehouses, factories, out-buildings, etc. Used regularly by Experiment Stations, Agricultural 
Colleges, and by thousands of poultry, dairy and breeding fnrms, because it gives good results and 
eaves lime, labor and money. Get some today—have it on hand when wanted. It doesn’t spoil. 
Your hardware, seed, drug or paint dealer has Carbola or can get it. If not — 
order direct. Prompt shipment and satisfaction guaranteed or your money back .

Feeding Guernsey Heifer 
I have a Guernsey heifer 2*4 years 
old, that is due to freshen for the first 
time in November. She has been on good 
clover pasture all Summer and since 
Sept. 1 I have been feeding her night 
and morning 2 quarts each feeding of the 
following mixture: Ground oats, bran, 
middlings and oilmeal mixed in equal 
parts. ,Is this mixture right, or wliat 
would improve it? Shall I continue feed¬ 
ing the same until she freshens, and in 
wliat amount would you suggest feeding 
after? I have mixed hay. Is that all 
right, or should I buy Alfalfa? I also 
have mangel beets. G. R. 
The ration that you are feeding your 
Guernsey heifer will give you good re¬ 
sults, although I should prefer corn or 
hominy meal to the middlings, especially 
where bran is used in the quantity indi¬ 
cated. Perhaps it would not be necessary 
to feed as much oilmeal during the time 
the cow is dry, but there would be a 
number of advantages in feeding her gen¬ 
erously during this period with this high 
protein constituent. It is the practice of 
successful dairymen to insist upon heifers 
coming into milk with their first calves 
carrying a generous amount of flesh. It 
indicates, first, that they are good feeders, 
and then though they may appear fleshy, 
if they are genuine dairy animals and 
inherit genuine milk-making functions, 
they will soon turn this flesh into milk. 
You could feed this heifer as much as 
eight pounds of this grain ration per day. 
although the amount should l>e reduced 
somewhat just previous and incident to 
calving. During this interval I should 
eliminate the corumeal and the oilmeal. 
and utilize a ration consisting of four 
parts of oats, two parts of bran and two 
parts of oilmeal. The mixed hay will 
not give you as satisfactory results as 
would obtain from Alfalfa, yet it is doubt¬ 
ful if you would be justified in .selling the 
mixed hay and buying Alfalfa. If you 
could get second or third cutting Alfalfa 
the exchange might be justified. 
Mangel beets are useful as an appetizer, 
and likewise will provide succulence be¬ 
lieved to be necessary in a ration for 
milk cows. Do not be too zealous in in¬ 
sisting that the cow comes promptly to her 
full flow of milk after calving. Give her 
sufficient time to recover from parturition 
and, through the use of succulent and 
laxative feeds, make it possible for the 
congestion and inflammation, usually 
present in the udder at this time, to dis¬ 
appear. If she reaches her maximum 
production three or four weeks after calv¬ 
ing you ought to be satisfied, and you 
could return to your regular ration in 
two or three weeks after calving. 
Feeding Family Cow 
I ■wish advice as to feeding our cow to 
get best results this Winter. She came 
in fresh in September. We have fed 
meal, middlings and bran and Alfalfa 
meal, and expect to get cottonseed meal. 
She is giving from 25 to 2S pounds of 
milk per day. A. M. E. 
A ration consisting of equal parts of 
corumeal, wheat bran, ground oats and 
oilmeal would be well suited for feeding 
your family cow. It is not necessary to 
utilize middlings when bran is provided, 
especially where Alfalfa meal is avail¬ 
able. Usually the best results follow the 
feeding of one pound of this grain per 
day for each three or four pounds of milk 
produced per day. In addition give the 
animal all of the roughage, such as mixed 
hay and corn fodder, that she will con¬ 
sume. Bulk is an essential element in a 
ration for dairy animals, especially where 
the grain ration is concentrated. 
If you find that the feeding of addi¬ 
tional grain increases the flow of milk 
sufficient to justify the use of the added 
quantity it might *be possible for you to 
increase the production of this animal. 
If you could obtain some mangels or beet 
pulp to provide succulence the chances 
are that the flow would be still further 
increased. 
Concerning your question as to which 
would give the better results, cottonseed 
meal or oilmeal. I should say that in 
your section at the prevailing prices cot¬ 
tonseed meal would provide a unit of 
protein more economically than would 
oilmeal, and it could be substituted in 
the mixture suggested.
