The De Laval Milker 
-A Wonderful Success 
After eight years of successful opera¬ 
tion, and with more than 15,000 in 
actual use giving remarkable satisfac¬ 
tion, there is no longer any question 
that the De Laval Milker is superior 
to any other method of milking. At 
first the De Laval Milker was regarded 
as just another milking machine, but 
now with ample time to have demon¬ 
strated its superior qualities it is gener¬ 
ally admitted that it is in a class by 
itself and “The Better Way of Milk¬ 
ing" in every respect. Consider such 
expressions as the following from De 
Laval Users: 
—“I am very proud and naturally much 
gratified over my success in producing 
these champion animals (World’s Cham¬ 
pion Holstein in 305-day class; also 
Champion Jr. and Sr. Two-Year-Old 
Holstein for Canada), but it is only right 
that I should give the De Laval Milking 
Machine its full dues as the most im¬ 
portant agency in the development of 
these records. These facts are all be¬ 
yond question and should settle the mat¬ 
ter conclusively for those intelligent 
dairymen who are asking the question as 
to whether the De Laval Milker will pay 
them.”—R. R. Stevens, Ontario(Canada) 
—“We have made 13 Advance Registry 
records and used the De Laval _ Milker 
on all of them. Our increase in milk 
production for the whole herd has been 
about 10% over hand milking.”— 
Newberry State Hospital. Michigan. 
—"All the above named cows (three 
daughters of Belle’s St. Mawes Lad, who 
qualified for a silver medal), were milked 
the entire time with a De Laval Milker 
and I firmly believe their_ production 
proves conclusively that it is ‘The 
Better Way of Milking’.”—L. C. Daniels, 
Oregon, owner of World’s Champion 
Sr. Two-Year-Old Jersey. 
And thus we could go on quoting 
from hundreds and hundreds of satis¬ 
fied De Laval owners from all sections 
of the country. If you are milking ten 
or more cows you need a De Laval.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Value of Cow 
I am offered a young .cow, purebred 
Jersev, 22 mouths old, freshened when 17 
months old. Owner says she is giving 
about eight quarts of good quality milk 
daily. She comes from Tenessee. Owner 
says papers for cow are held up until he 
is a member of cattle club six months'. 
Cow is light in color, black tongue and 
switch, a very promising heifer. What 
should she be worth, if I get papers? 
Delaware. j. b. m. 
In negotiating for a heifer of this de¬ 
scription it is necessary to take the own¬ 
er’s word for everything. Mere consider¬ 
ation of the blood lines without some in¬ 
formation as to the conformation, weighr, 
•age and general appearance of the animal, 
will not form a safe basis for determin¬ 
ing values. It seems to me that a better 
plan would be to go to some local breeder 
or dairyman and purchase an animal of 
known breeding and usefulness. 
It is not necessary for a breeder to be¬ 
come a member of the American Jersey 
Cattle Club in order to register animals 
that are eligible for registration. While 
it is true that the fees for non-members 
are higher than for regular members, the 
excuse offered for delay in transferring 
the papers might be questioned. 
Skim-milk for Cows 
Having an excess of skim-milk, I have 
been advised to feed it to my dairy cows. 
They will not drink it. but will eat ±t 
mixed with the feed. What effect will 
this have upon the milk flow, and also 
upon the general physical condition of the 
cow? Would you advise the use of the 
milk in this manner? o. g. c. 
Vermont. 
In theory the practice of feeding skim- 
milk to cows sounds fine, but in practice 
the plan usually fails. As you state, 
skim-milk is not palatable and, while oc¬ 
casionally a cow is found that relishes a 
drink of skim-milk, she is an exception to 
the rule. The digestive system of the 
cow is constructed to consume bulky 
roughages aud concentrated products. 
Skim-milk does not belong to either 
group. The ability of the cow to produce 
milk high or low in butterfat depends 
upon inherent qualities, rather than upon 
the ration fed. The value of the skim- 
milk must be determined by calculating 
the amount of ash and protein that it 
carries. It must go through the regular 
processes of digestion and assimilation, 
and cannot, as one might suppose, be 
transferred direct to the udder and ap 
pear again in the milk pail. The best use 
that can he made of skim-milk is for 
feeding poultry aud swine. 
In feeding dairy cows, let them have 
all of the roughage, such as clover or 
Alfalfa hay, that they will consume with 
relish; allow them all of the silage that 
they will consume; feed cows in milk as 
many pounds of a complete 20-per cent 
protein ration, per day, as she produces 
pounds of butterfat in a week; usually 
1 lb. of grain for each Sy 2 lbs. of milk 
produced per day is satisfactory. 
Ration with Good Silage 
Will you suggest a grain ration for me 
that contains 20 per cent protein, and an¬ 
other 22 per cent? For the 20-per cent 
we have good grain, silage of corn, and 
clover hay, but limited, and when the 
clover hav is gone there is silage and 
Timothy hay, and oats that we will have 
ground. A. c - 
New York. 
With corn silage and clover hay we as¬ 
sume that you desire to have a ration 
carrying 20 per cent of protein, and that 
you propose to use the 22 per cent pro¬ 
tein ration when the legume hay is ex¬ 
hausted. The following mixture is pro¬ 
posed : 100 lbs. of cottonseed meal, 150 
lbs. linseed meal, 100 lbs. gluten, 300 lbs. 
mixed wheat feed, 350 lbs. cornmeal. 
In order to bring this mixture up to the 
22 per cent protein basis, add 50 lbs. of 
linseed meal. 
It is interesting to note that in East¬ 
ern territory linseed meal can he pur¬ 
chased at a much more reasonable figure 
under existing conditions than it can be 
secured in the Middle West. For this 
reason it is recommended that current 
rations include a generous amount of lin¬ 
seed meal.
