The rapidly increasing popularity of and demand for 
De Laval Milkers, enables the De Laval Company to 
take on additional agents to handle their products in

proposition is offered which can be developed into a 
satisfactory, independent and permanent business. 
The type of agent desired is one who has a knowl¬ 
edge of the dairy business, who understands dairy cows, 
who commands respect in his community, and who can 
give sufficient time to the De Laval line—in short, a 
man who can render the character of service for which 
the De Laval Company is famous and uphold De 
Laval standards of integrity. 
Previous selling experience is not necessary, nor is a 
large amount of capital. All such agents will be thor¬ 
oughly familiarized with every detail of the business 
and will be given all possible assistance.

Ration Without Silage 
The hay crop on many farms here was 
much reduced by drought. I have no 
silo. I can get wheat bran, middlings or 
cornmeal delivered at my barn several 
dollars cheaper per ton at the present 
time than I can hay. I can get a small 
amount of good corn fodder at a little 
more than half the price of hay. Will 
Prof. Minkler please tell me how much 
grain and liow r much hay or cornstalks it 
is best to feed to an average SOO-lb. cow 
under these conditions? j. p. s. 
New Hampshire. 
A grain ration compounded from corn, 
bran and middlings would be deficient in 
protein and it would be necessary for you 
to incorporate approximately 15 per cent 
of oilmeal and about the same amount of 
gluten feed in a mixture containing the 
ingredients. It would be entirely prac¬ 
tical for you to substitute the corn fodder 
for the hay, for, under average conditions, 
maintain their flesh and vigor during the 
annoying fly season. Under the condi¬ 
tions described I should suggest the fol¬ 
lowing combination of products: 300 lbs. 
of corn-and-cob meal, 200 lbs. of ground 
oats, 150 lbs. of bran, 200 lbs. of gluten 
feed, 150 lbs. of oilmeal, with iy 2 per 
cent of salt added. 
With the variety of roughage that you 
have available, particularly since you 
have corn-and-cob meal as one of your 
ingredients in the grain mixture, nothing 
would be gained by buying molasses at 
its present cost and applying it to your 
corn fodder. Its primary function in this 
instance would be to induce the cows to 
increase their consumption of this coarse 
material. If they are given all of the 
several roughages that you have identi¬ 
fied and that they will clean up with 
relish it would not be prudent to make

Is there a single book in the public 
library in your town which gives an ac¬ 
curate picture of farm life or an interest¬ 
ing story of real farm people? 
Many city people form their opinion of 
farmers and farm life from the books they 
read. Therefore, there ought to be at 
least one good book picturing real farm 
life, with its mixture of bright and dark 
sides, in every town or grange library. 
“Hope Farm Notes” is a well-printed 
224-page book, containing 25 interesting 
stories of farm life and country people. 
Many consider it the best book of country 
life which has ever been published. 
Ask for this book at your library, and 
if it isn’t there tell them they ought to 
have it. You will enjoy the book your¬ 
self, and it will give those not familiar 
with farm life a better understanding of 
real country people. 
Mary people are making a present of 
this book to city friends or to their town, 
grange or school library, and it is always 
considered a welcome gift. 
The price is only $1.50. postpaid. Just 
fill out the coupon below and mail with 
a cheek or money order.

for 10 Years, Now 16 Years and Eight Months Old. 
bright, crisp fodder is superior in feeding 
value to bay when fed to dairy cows, and 
properly supplemented with a grain ra¬ 
tion. 
I should feed an 800-lb. cow yielding 
2,500 lbs. of milk, 8 lbs. of this grain mix¬ 
ture, and iu addition would allow her all 
of the corn fodder that she would clean 
up with relish. This would vary from 10 
to 15 lbs. per day. 
It might be to your advantage to secure 
some beet pulp to supplement both your 
corn fodder and your grain ration. Re¬ 
cent investigations conducted by the dis¬ 
tributors of beet pulp have prompted them 
to suggest that 6 lbs. of beet pulp might 
properly replace 10 lbs. of hay in a ration 
intended for dairy cows. Beet pulp in 
itself is a concentrate, but on account of 
its bulk and palatability it is claimed 
that it can profitably replace a portion of 
the hay under existing conditions. 
any special inducements to have them 
consume an added amount of corn fodder. 
Moistened beet pulp would be much bet¬ 
ter suited for use under these conditions. 
While it is low in energy value as com¬ 
pared with corn or hominy meal, it does 
increase the palatability of its accom¬ 
panying ration; likewise it affords suc¬ 
culence that is fundamental for maximum 
production. You ought to be able to get 
beet pulp, however, for much less than 
$40 per ton. It is best fed after being 
moistened 12 hours previous to feeding 
time. In case you feed as much as 15 
lbs. of the moistened beet pulp per cow 
per day I should add 100 lbs. of cotton¬ 
seed meal to the grain mixture that I 
have proposed.

Ration Lacks Protein 
I have Holstein grade cows, and have 
been feeding grain all Summer, hoping to 
keep up the milk flow. Most of my cows 
freshened around June 1, and today I am 
getting a third less milk than I 'did iu 
July. My grain ration was three parts 
cob meal, two parts ground oats and one 
part cottonseed meal, pail measure, and 
cows were on pasture day and night. I 
feed 1 lb. of grain for each 3 lbs. of milk. 
What is the cause of such a large drop? 
Will you give me a formula for a grain 
ration for Winter? I have mixed clover 
hay, oat straw and cornstalks. Please 
include oats and cob meal in mixture. 
Which would be more profitable to feed, 
beet pulp with the grain at $40 per ton, 
or molasses on corn fodder at $25 per 
ton? H. W. 
New Jersey. 
A grain ration consisting of corn-and- 
cob meal, ground oats and cottonseed 
meal in conjunction with grass was well 
suited to the existing conditions, but when 
you fed the same ration to your dairy 
cows on dry feed it failed to provide them 
with sufficient protein such as would en¬ 
able them to keep up their flow of milk. 
It must be remembered that pasture grass 
in itself is practically a complete and 
well balanced ration, and the addition of 
the grain you supplied enabled the cows 
to increase their flow of milk and to 
Mock Silage 
Will you give me what you consider the 
best milk ration for Jersey and Holstein 
cows 5 to 10 years old? How is mock 
silage made in barrels? £. s. D. 
New York. 
I doubt whether it would be worth your 
while to make mock silage. I presume 
that you refer to the use of shredded corn¬ 
stalks, properly saturated with molasses 
water. Moistened beet pulp is much 
easier to prepare and is inorei efficient in 
producing milk economically. 1 have 
never had any experience in making the 
so-called mock silage, and have never 
heard of anyone who repeated his experi¬ 
ment with any degree of profit. 
For Jersey and Holstein grade cows, 
assuming that you have no silage and 
that you are using mixed hay, a simple 
combination of ingredients would consist 
of : Hominy or cornmeal. 300 lbs.; buck¬ 
wheat middlings, 200 lbs.; wheat bran, 
200 lbs.; cottonseed meal, 150 libs.; glu¬ 
ten, 150 lbs., with approximately one per 
cent of salt added. Feed this in propor¬ 
tion to the production of individual ani¬ 
mals. calculating that you ought to receive 
350 lbs. of milk for each 100 lbs. of grain 
fed. Much depends upon the roughage 
that supplements any kind of grain ra¬ 
tion. Clover or Alfalfa, or any of the 
results. Timothy hay is ill-suited for feed- 
results. Timothy hay is illsuited for feed¬ 
ing dairy cows. In case you have a poor 
grade of hay, I should add 100 lbs. of oil¬ 
meal to the above combination.
