Silage 
T HE perfect silo must be absolutely air¬ 
tight, since air causes silage to mold 
and rot. The glazed tile walls and 
tight-fitting cypress doors of Natco Silos seal 
the silage like fruit in glass jars. It comes 
out sweet and succulent to the last forkful. 
Natco Silos 
are strongly reinforced with high grade steel hands, 
doubled in the bottom courses where the pressure 
is greatest. The double-shell tile also increases 
the wall strength and provides for secure mortar 
joints. The still air spaces conserve the natural 
heat of the silage — resist frost. Heavy galvan¬ 
izing protects all exposed ironwork.

“Stripping ’Em Clean” 
Why not buy dairy feed the way you milk cows to get the 
last bit of good out of ’em? There’s no waste in feeding 
CE-RE-A-LIA SWEETS. Every grain is straight, honest, 
milk-making feed, properly balanced, easily digested. 
You “strip’* every feed-dollar clean when you buy CE-RE-A-LIA 
SWEETS. You’re guaranteed more or better milk at less cost. 
Feed One Cow Four Weeks at Our Risk. Money back if 
Ce-re-a-lia does not make more milk and more profit than you’re 
getting now.

The Certified Milk Producers 
There was a meeting of the Certified 
Milk Producers of the United States held 
in New York City in January. This 
meeting had speakers of the highest stand¬ 
ing. The subjects discussed were the 
necessity of the certified milk industry, 
the value to the public of such milk and 
the scientific side of milk questions, such 
as various bacteria and various constitu¬ 
ents of milk and certain changes in it by 
handling. The matters of production 
and any mechanical problems of getting 
results in quality seem to have been 
worked out before this time, for any such 
matters were not in the list of topics, nor 
were they more than alluded to in discus¬ 
sions. 
The effect of pasteurization of milk is 
a topic that brings out divergent views. 
That pasteurization changes the flavor 
of milk seems to be generally admitted. 
Few even claim that the constituents of 
milk after pasteurization are exactly the 
same as before. A few, among whom is 
one of the speakers at the convention, 
Dr. Shaw of Albany, encourage the pas¬ 
teurization of certified milk, but this is 
commonly advised in the home. Almost 
no producer of certified believes in pas¬ 
teurization of this grade of milk. At the 
same time the friends of pasteurization 
for general market milk are numerous. 
The addition of a little orange juice is 
said to restore any of the vitamines that 
may have been destroyed. 
Streptococci in milk was discussed by 
Prof. Brown of the Rockefeller Institute. 
He stated that these organisms may come 
from the mouth of the cow, from the skin, 
the feces or from the sore throat of the 
milker. It did not appear that he regards 
them, generally speaking, of quite so seri¬ 
ous a nature as has sometimes been re¬ 
garded, although there should be none in 
the milk. A gargety condition may fur¬ 
nish them and the hands of the milker 
may readily spread trouble. 
The association instituted operations 
for the employment of a paid secretary 
and for advertising certified milk. The 
next meeting is to he held in Chicago at 
(lie time' of the dairy show, and very 
likely in connection with the Association 
of Milk Commissions. 
The officers were continued, W. II. Lee 
of Connecticut as president, and Harry R. 
Winters of the New Y'ork State Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture as secretary-treasurer. 
It was evident that here was a group 
of men intensely interested in milk pro¬ 
duction. although in very many cases it 
is a side line. Not a few fail to make a 
considerable profit. Most, if not all, are 
glad to see good results from their efforts 
in the way of better health and the sav¬ 
ing of the lives of children, and possibly 
are willing to accept that as a major por¬ 
tion of the recompense. In other cases 
there is some financial return.

Various Horse Questions 
1. I have a six-year-old Morgan horse 
who will not put on flesh. lie is in good 
condition otherwise ; in fact, is very lively. 
He has worms. I am feeding him two 
quarts of corn meal and a quart of whole 
oats three times a day, and first-class 
Timothy hay. Can you tell me what to 
give him to cure the worms? When we 
drive him unusually long liis left ankle 
seems to lose its strength, and lie will 
hardly put the foot to the ground, and 
when he is put in the stable liis leg swells 
to the knee. 2. I.ast Fall I bought a two- 
year-old mare. She never has had enough 
to eat; in fact, while turned out to pas¬ 
ture last Summer did not even have 
enough grass to eat. She stands about 
12 hands high and weighs about 700 lbs. 
Can you tell me what to fedd her that 
will make her grow and flesh up? 
Vermont. W. F. G. 
1. It is almost impossible to put any 
flesh on a horse whose intestines are in¬ 
fested with parasites. Perhaps the sim¬ 
plest remedy consists in using equal parts 
of ferrous sulphate and powdered gen¬ 
tian, and feeding the horse two heaping 
tablespoons of this mixture twice daily 
for four or five days in a grain ration 
consisting of equal parts of oats and bran, 
with 10 per cent of oilmeal. I should go 
rather sparingly on the. grain ration dur¬ 
ing the interim in which the medicated 
material is 'being fed. and at the end of 
the fifth day I should give the horse a 
purge consisting either of the physic ball 
that you can obtain from your veterina¬ 
rian or the drug store, or raw linseed oil. 
From your description it would seem that 
the horse must be over iu his pasterns, 
or knuckled, as it is frequently called, 
which condition is responsible for his 
tendency o fatigue when driven some dis¬ 
tance. There is very little that can he 
done to alleviate this condition, although 
a veterinarian frequently blisters the af¬ 
fected joint and reduces very materially 
its sensitiveness. I would suggest that 
you consult a veterinarian and follow his 
instructions. 
2. Concerning the brood mare that has 
been underfed throughout her growing pe¬ 
riod, she is probably stunted and you will 
have considerable 'difficulty iu securing 
normal development even though she is 
given h carefully prepared ration. In this 
connection it would be well to secure any 
one of the so-called molasses feeds that 
combine corn, oats, molasses and Alfalfa 
hay. and feed her generously of this ma¬ 
terial. The addition of cornmeal and oats 
might improve its feeding value. It. is 
generally conceded that there is nothing 
quite as good as a conditioner as one of 
the prepared molasses feeds. f. c. m.

The Choice of Dairy¬ 
men and Stockmen 
Who Investigate 
1. Because the Globe Silo with 
its nearly straight side extension 
roof insures a silo full and packed 
to capacity. 
2. Because it has a continuous 
opening adjustable door front, 
with handy doors that fit tight 
and open easily. 
3. Because its door fasteners 
form a convenient ladder making 
use of the silo and tightening 
hoops safe and easy. 
4. Because the double steel 
spline and cementing method of 
fastening stave sections to each 
other, makes an airtight silo, 
with strong, smooth 
joints that are supported 
in every direction, at 
every point.

Strength 
When you build 
a new silo or rebuild 
your old one, make it 
Craine—the strongest 
as well as handsomest silo made. 
Its three-wall construction gives 
perfect silage protection. Outside 
the wall of upright staves is an 
air-tight, water-proof, frost-defying 
inner wall of Silafelt. Outside of both 
is 'the spiral Crainelox covering, of 
giant strength—no hoops, no lugs, no 
weak spots, no repairs, but permanent 
protection for every inch of wall. 
By rebuilding your old stave silo 
into a Craine, you save half the cost 
of a new silo. Ask us to tell you how.

HARDER SILOS 
Good Silage — 
can only be made in a good silo. Be 
sure— choose a Harder. Silage can’t 
stick to the smooth sides. Air can’t 
get in. Heat can’t get out. 
Harder silage means more
