“Search for the true secret 
that has brought success to 
the best livestock man you 
know. You will find it is 
nothing more or less than 
that his animals are always 
well , always in good condi¬ 
tion, always working , always 
returning profit; never sick , 
never in poor condition , 
never loafing , never running 
up a large expense for medi¬ 
cal treatment .” 
That Describes a Larro-fed Cow! 
People often wonder about the success achieved 
by Larro users. Mr. Van Pelt’s words tell the 
story. 
Larro users succeed because Larro-fed cows are 
always well, always working, always returning a 
profit. They produce heavily when fresh and they 
continue producing heavily for a longer period of 
time. What’s more, they produce economically. 
One pound of Larro yields from three to four 
pounds of milk. The exact amount, of course, 
depends on the kind and quality of roughage and 
on the length of time the cow has been in milk. 
When a cow . goes “off feed” you can sometimes 
bring her back part way, but she will never be the 
same in that lactation period. Feed Larro and she 
doesn’t go off feed.

Cream Will Not Churn 
We have a Jersey cow in good condi¬ 
tion, but her cream will not churn. The 
cream while churning becomes strong 
and foamy. She has been fresh seven 
months, and will freshen first of April. 
We feed her bran, shorts, corn, oilcake 
meal, hay and fodder, and, at times, tur¬ 
nips. w. c. 
Nauvoo, Ill. 
It is evident that you do not properly 
cool the milk obtained from your Jersey 
cow, which condition is responsible for a 
foamy appearance of the cream when 
churned. Use flat pans if you do not 
have facilities for properly aerating the 
milk and bringing it down to a low tem¬ 
perature immediately after milking. Then 
too, if you feed turnips and the ration 
suggested just previous to or during the 
process of milking, the milk is very apt 
to absorb the objectionable odors and 
have an undesirable taste. I should feed 
turnips after milking and limit the 
amount fed during any one day to 10 or 
15 lbs. To make sure that the turnips 
were not responsible for this condition I 
should deny the cow her turnips for a 
week or 10 days. 
It is possible that you mix the several 
batches of cream without properly ripen¬ 
ing them. Oftentimes, as the cows ap¬ 
proach the end of their lactation period 
they produce milk that has an objection¬ 
able flavor, regardless of the feed or sys¬ 
tem of cooling the milk. If this condi¬ 
tion prevails it is necessary to dry off 
the cow and give her a relatively long 
rest period if it is desirable that the milk 
shall be of desirable color and flavor 
when she freshens again.

Cheap Feed for Abundant Milk 
What is the cheapest feed mixture I 
can feed my cows to produce the greatest 
amount of milk? J. E. S. 
Englishtown, N. J. 
You have failed to supply any informa¬ 
tion concerning the feed products or 
roughages that you have on baud to be 
used as a base for compounding a ration 
for milk cows. Assuming that it is nec¬ 
essary for you to purchase all of the feed, 
and hoping that you have available clover 
or Alfalfa hay for roughage, the follow¬ 
ing mixture will provide a' simple com¬ 
bination : 300 lbs. hominy, 200 lbs. bran, 
250 lbs. linseed, 200 lbs. gluten feed, 100 
lbs. ground oats. Feed 1 lb. of this mix¬ 
ture for each 3 ^/> lbs. of milk produced 
per cow per day. In case you have no 
mangels or silage, then moistened beet 
pulp should be provided to supply succu¬ 
lence. If your cows give more than 40 
lbs. of milk per day, add 100 lbs. of 43 
per cent cottonseed meal to this mixture.

Useful Feed Mixture 
1 . I am feeding at present to my cows, 
morning and night, mixed hay, and at 
noon cornstalks; for grain I feed a mix¬ 
ture of 400 lbs. oilmeal (32 per cent), 
400 lbs. bran and 200 lbs. corn and oat 
hay, but I do not seem to get milk 
enough. Is this ration mixed in the right 
proportion? If not, will you give me 
the right amount to use? 2. Is the Dur¬ 
um wheat bran as good as the standard 
wheat bran, if prices are the same:' 
Pennsylvania. R - A - 
1. A grain mixture consisting of oil- 
meal, bran and corn and oat chop, 
mixed in the proportion you mention, w ill 
carry about 20 per cent of protein. This 
ought to be a useful mixture, although it 
lacks variety, and might not be as pal¬ 
atable as some other combination. For 
cows in milk which do not have silage or 
mangels I should add some moistened beet, 
pulp. If you could use 250 lbs. of oil 
meal and 200 lbs. of gluten feed you 
would have more variety, and perhaps 
better results. Likewise, increase the 
corn and oat- chop to 300 lbs., and reduce 
the bran to 300 lbs. 
2. There is very little difference be 
tween the hard wheat bran and the 
standard wheat bran. The value of wheat 
products of this kind depends upon their 
purity and freedom from screenings. 
Standard brand carries the mill run of 
screenings. The hard wheat bran is more 
flaky, and if it does not stipulate on the 
bag that it carries the mill run of screen¬ 
ings it might be a poorer bran than the
