Milk and Live Stock News 
Interesting Milk Bulletin 
All New Jersey dairymen will be in¬ 
terested in Circular 121, issued by the 
State Experiment Station at New Bruns¬ 
wick. It is entitled “Buying and Selling 
Milk on a Butterfat Basis,” and contains 
a brief of the New Jersey law and a re¬ 
port of milk inspection. We frequently 
have questions about the New Jersey 
milk laws and the rights of milk pro¬ 
ducers under various conditions. This 
pamphlet will answer all such questions 
and is sent freely to those who apply 
for it. 
Ration Without Silage 
I have mixed hay, cornstalks, oat 
straw, oats and corn. Other cow feeds 
I must buy. J. P. 
New Jersey. 
For your dairy cows where you have 
mixed hay and stalks, with no silage, a 
ration that, will best utilize your home- 
grown feeds would be 300 lbs. of corn- 
meal or 400 lbs. corn-aiul-cob meal, 200 
lbs. of oats, 100 lbs. bran, 200 lbs. glu¬ 
ten and 200 lbs. oilmeal. This ration 
should be fed at the rate of 1 lb. of grain 
to each 3 lbs. of milk produced by each 
cow daily. In addition, as a source of 
succulence, I would advise the feeding of 
3 lbs. of dried beet pulp daily. The beet 
pulp should be soaked about 12 hours 
before feeding. Feed half the soaked beet 
pulp in the morning and the other half 
at night. Your oat straw contains very 
little feeding value, but I have seen cows 
consume large quantities of it. You 
might feed straw at noon. J. w. B.

Please Your Cows With A Perfection 
T^ID you ever hear of a cow 
bellowing for a milking 
machine as if it were her calf? 
Owners frequently tell us that 
their cows actually bellow for 
the Perfection just as they do 
for their calves. 
But is it any wonder? The Per¬ 
fection’s way of milking is so much 
like the calf’s that it is called the 
perfect copy of the calf. The gentle 
suction followed by a downward 
squeeze, followed by a period of rest 
exactly duplicates the calf’s milking. 
You can please your cows with a 
Perfection. They will prefer to be 
milked by the Perfection rather than 
by hand. Your boy or girl can m ilk 
with the Perfection as well as you can. 
At the same time you are pleasing 
your cows you are pleasing yourself. 
Perfection returns its cost in less than 
a year in wages saved. It saves you 
time and drudgery. Your cows will 
like it. Contented cows mean more 
milk. Most owners find their cows 
give more milk when milked with 
Perfection. Why wait any longer? 
Get a Perfection. 
Write For Booklet 
Write for the booklet, "What the Dairy¬ 
man Wants to Know.” It tells in detail 
why Perfection milking means contented 
cows. We’ll also send the names and ad¬ 
dress of the Perfection owners near you. 
Why Milk By Hand? Cows prefer the 
Perfection.
