"'nTTHETHER you use a little one- 
W tonner on pneumatics or a 
fleet of 5-ton giants, every truck 
must pay its way today. Layups 
for repairs wipe out months of 
profits. 
Scientific checking shows that 
90% of all truck engine troubles 
are due to faulty lubrication. Or¬ 
dinary oil forms black sediment 
when subjected to the intense 
heat of the engine—200° to 1000° 
F. Cylinders are scored, bearings 
loosen, over-heating becomes 
common. 
Keep expense like this off your 
books. Sediment is reduced 86% 
when you use Veedol, the lubri¬ 
cant that resists heat. (See the 
two bottles at the left). With 
Veedol in the crankcase most 
serious troubles are prevented. 
Engines pull better, throttle 
down lower. 
Have your men flush out their 
engines. Instruct them to fill up 
withVeedol. Leading dealers 
have Veedol in stock. Consult 
them for quotations.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY i 
To Test a Jersey Cow 
I have a purebred Jersey cow. She 
was a calf when we purchased her seven 
years ago. Her parents were registered, 
and we just neglected to get the papers 
for this calf. She has developed into a 
most excellent cow. She was fresh the 
last week in January, 1020, and in July 
she was still giving 15 quarts of milk, 
and very often 10 quarts. She is to 
freshen again in about three weeks, and 
is still giving a gallon in the morning, 
but less iu the evening. Heretofore we 
have managed, with hard effort, to dry 
her up, but this year the grass is longer, 
as we are farther south, and I do not 
believe we will got her dry. In cool 
weather I have churned 10 lbs. of butter 
from two gallons of cream put through a 
separator. I wish to test her for a week 
or month. Will you advise me what to 
give her, and how? Of course, I shall 
not test her until her calf is weaned. 
West Virginia. (MRS.) F. E. B. 
A seven-day butter record for a cow is 
supposed to show what she can do under 
the most favorable conditions. It is much 
like the record made by a trotting horse 
on the track. No one would think of 
catching Peggy up out of the pasture and 
entering her in a race. She would show 
you what she could do under natural con¬ 
ditions, but she wouldn’t stand a ghost 
of a chance with the horse that had been 
conditioned and trained for several 
months previous. So I am afraid that 
the little Jersey will not stand much of 
a chance tnis year as a seven-day record 
maker. She should have gone dry at least 
two months before calving, and the way 
to dry off a cow is to stop milking her. 
It is all nonsense to suppose that a cow 
giving a gallon of milk twice a day can¬ 
not he dried off. Just skip one milking, 
the next time two milkings, then three. 
Then forget that she gives milk and let 
her alone. 
As soon as the cow is dry I would give 
her a grain ration of a mixture of wheat 
bran, ground oats, hominy feed and lin¬ 
seed oilmeal of equal parts. This feed 
will put on soft fat. very quickly, and is 
also quickly gotten rid of. The idea is 
that we want a fat that will go into the 
milk when we come to test the cow. I 
would give her all she can handle of this 
feed and not go off her appetite. She 
should have plenty of salt and a handful 
of powdered charcoal each feed to sweeten 
her stomach and also to keep her from 
getting too laxative. The point is to fat¬ 
ten the cow as much as possible, and at 
the same time keep her in the most robust 
health. No two cows will need the same 
feed and handling. Here is where ox- 
perience helps. 
We would never think of fitting a cow 
for testing while running out to pasture, 
but would supply succulence to the feed 
with mangels and silage. Soon before 
(he cow freshens, according to the condi¬ 
tion of her udder, I would cut her grain 
ration down to just wheat bran and oil- 
meal. Usually a pound dose of Epsom 
salts is beneficial just after calving; hut 
one should watch the cow and use judg¬ 
ment in this. Her udder will probably 
swell and “cake” a good deal, and this 
“should be helped by plenty of hand rub¬ 
bing. But don't give her dopes or apply 
patent greases to remove the udder swell¬ 
ings. It is when the “cake” is working 
out that the cow gives the richest milk. 
Don’t leave the calf with the cow for 
over 24 hours, and don’t milk her clean 
for the first, three days. Merely take 
enough milk to relieve the udder. This 
precaution is to avert milk fever. As the 
flow of milk increases, increase the feed, 
at first with the fattening ration, and a 
little later on add gluten feed and cotton¬ 
seed meal, of each one part. 
There can be no rule as to how much 
feed or just what kinds to feed. A very 
fat cow will often make the best record 
on a light grain ration, say 10 or 12 lbs. 
a day. Sometimes a big Holstein will 
handle 24 lbs. The cow should have all 
the fresh water she will drink, where 
she can get it at any time, and she 
should have her grain four times a day 
when she is milked. Of course, you will 
ht.ve to get up in the middle of the night 
to milk, and this is one of the tilings that 
will make the record worth something to 
you—it is so bard to get.
