You may find a ration that costs less— 
but not one which produces bigger profits. 
Thousands of successful dairymen are 
feeding Larro every day for just one reason 
—because in the long run it’s the cheapest 
feed they can buy. 
You may save one, two or three cents daily 
on a cow’s feed with a low priced ration. 
Or you may get one, two or three quarts 
more milk every day with Larro. 
Which pays best? 
May we send you names of dairymen in 
your own community who are making 
more money by feeding Larro?

How to Start a Fake Story 
Not long since we received ti serious 
article from a newspaper correspondent 
who id hat C. O. Warford had produced 
n now'irtilk plant by grafting the tomato 
ami castor bean on the milkweed. The 
man who wrote the story evide !,v be¬ 
lieved it, and figured that an acre of this 
new plant would yield 1.400 gallons of 
milk ! Knowing Mr. Warford personally, 
we applied t<> him for tin* facts. He gave 
this interesting story to show how such 
wonders are born. As for what Mr. War¬ 
ford says about putting tin* cow out of 
business, it i> an ingenious argument, but 
we do not agree with him. We do not be¬ 
lieve it will ever lx* possible to prepare 
any fluid equal to the product made by 
the cow. 
I suppose I must plead guilty of hav¬ 
ing started that yarn. Of course tin* 
whole article as it appears in the papers 
must be considered a joke. 1 started it 
by telling a local reporter a yarn about 
a new plant I was thinking of bringing 
out that would do away with cows an,’, 
which would produce milk. lie, the same 
as all city men. I suppose, thinks the 
farmer does nothing in Winter but sit by 
tin* stove, and one day In* asked me what 
I found on the farm to do in Winter to 
pass away my time. I replied that I 
spent my time in research work. He 
asked what that was. and I replied it 
consisted in searching for profits reported 
by city editors as having been made by 
fanners, and also obtaining a milk plant 
that would help us secure a profit. He 
asked what kind of a plant that would 
be. and I jokingly replied that 1 thought 
in this ease it would have to be a veg¬ 
etable plant. He asked me if I had hopes 
of perfecting this plant, and I answered. 
“Sure, we farmers can do anything.” lie 
asked me some questions as to how I pro¬ 
posed to do it, and then of course I had 
to try to make good, so 1 told him tin* first 
tiling that I could think of. ami that was 
that “It could be done by combining (In* 
milkweed and the castor bean and the 
sugar beet and the tomato and Alfalfa.” 
I supposed he would treat the whole mat¬ 
ter as a joke, but I notice he lias made a 
fairly good story of it. 
But treat it as a joke if you please. I 
am beginning to believe that it is a pos¬ 
sibility and will be brought about in time. 
I know our scientific friends will say I 
am crazy, and that it cannot lie done, 
but I believe some years ago these same 
scientists told me the tomato was not fit 
for food, and now we numbskulls of or¬ 
dinary mortals are eating quite a few of 
this article. 1 believe tin* cow is in time 
coming to lx* considered an unnecessary 
link in the chain of production and dis¬ 
tribution. I believe the cow was created 
to be a meat-supplying animal, just as the 
other meat-supplying animals. Milk was 
a secondary consideration as far as man 
was concerned; nature supplied tlint to 
take care of the offspring of the cow. 
Man liked the taste of the milk and pet¬ 
ted the cow to make her give milk a 
longer space of time. Because man liked 
milk and butter and cheese and ice-cream 
we have retained the cow and brought her 
to her high plane of productivity. But I 
really be’ieve that it was because milk 
tasted delicious that tin* cow was kept 
rather tlia.li because site was a source of 
eeomuni al food, or perhaps it was be¬ 
cause she gave to our ancestors a lazv 
source of food. She went out and ate 
grass, and by working a few minutes 
a day at milking her owner got his food. 
Also the human mother, as her social 
duties increased, more and more favorably 
looked upon the cow as a convenient 
means of evading her domestic require¬ 
ments. c. o. warford. 
Utilizing the Cheaper Cuts of Meat 
On page TOO Lillie Reed York presents 
a number of recipes and suggestions for 
making palatable dishes from these outs. 
They an* all good and worthy of a trial, 
provided one has the cuts. But I just 
want to .sa.v. be mighty careful lmw you 
buy such cuts with an idea of economiz¬ 
ing. I worked out a number of experi¬ 
ments along this line a couple of years 
ago. when the price of beef was at its 
highest point. The initial expense seemed 
small as compared with round steak, but 
I found that, for the lean meat in a neck 
piece 1 paid from 50 to GO cents a pound. 
Figured on this basis, a clear flank cost 
me about GO cents and a rib flank cost 
from SO to 90 cents a pound. Of course 
then* was more or less soup and edible 
fats and gristle of which I took no notice. 
But. as a matter of fact, these cheap cuts, 
when bought at the butcher shop and at 
the butcher’s prices are vastly more ex¬ 
pensive than the higher priced, boneless 
cuts of solid meat. c. o. o.
