A Betfcer De Laval Separator 
for fewer, pounds of butter 
Today you can buy a far better De Laval 
Separator for 25 lbs., or 11%, less butter 
than was required for the same size ma¬ 
chine in 1913. 
In 1913 it took 231 lbs. of butter to 
pay for a popular-size De Laval. 
ntieJsfm 
More than 100,000 
users of this new, year- _ 
old De Laval Separator acclaim 
it as being the best De Laval 
ever built. It is better than 
the De Lavals which have 
satisfied millions of users; 
In 1923 it requires only 206 lbs. 
of butter to buy the-same size 
machine.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
V- _ 
Improving a Dairy Ration 
Will you give an opinion of the value 
of the following dairy ration, and suggest 
how it may be improved : 800 lbs. corii- 
meal. 300 lbs. ground oats, 300 lbs. bran, 
200 lbs. O. P. linseed meal (34 per 
cent). 200 lbs. gluten. 200 lbs. dried 
brewers’ grain. 20 lbs. fine ground salt. 
Grain ration fed 1 lb. to 3 lbs. of milk, 
with a minimum of 8 lbs. daily. Each 
cow receives 244 lbs. dried beet pulp 
(soaked for 24 hours) each morning to¬ 
gether with 15 to 20 lbs. of No. 1 clover 
hay. The grain ration, when mixeeb 
costs us .0235 per lb. ; beet pulp, .005 
per cow per day; hay. $30 per ton. It is 
costing us for feed. .0683 per quart to 
produce milk, and were it not that we 
are retailing our milk, we would not be 
able to make it “go.” Our herd is small, 
10 cows, of which eight are milking, and 
our feed costs per quart of milk have 
been steadily mounting, due to a decrease 
in the milk flow. Can you give me a 
better ration? J. w. K. 
Orangeburg, N. Y. 
The above proposed ration is too low 
in protein for cows of profitable produc¬ 
tion. It will carry about 16 per cent of 
protein and probably less than this if 
the dry brewers’ grains are vinegar or 
malt grains. I would suggest doubling 
the amount of linseed meal, reducing the 
cornmeal to 600 lbs. and adding 100 lbs. 
of gluten feed in case the cows are pro¬ 
ducing more than 40 lbs. of milk per 
day. Your formula carries 1.100 lbs. of 
carbohydrate feeds and 400 lbs. of con¬ 
centrated protein feeds. This provides a 
mixture deficient in protein, and would be 
very apt to result in the cows gaining in 
weight at the expense of production. The 
method of including salt, the amount of 
beet pulp fed, and the amount of grain 
that is fed to each individual is correct. 
We are assuming that you are using 
a good grade of bay, and nothing is to 
be preferred to No. 1 clover bay which 
is bright and crisp. The increased 
amount of linseed meal is suggested on 
account of the relatively low price of 
this product; in Eastern territory it can 
be obtained considerably under cottonseed 
meal and under the conditions you have 
described would be superior to this con¬ 
centrate. 
Ration for Milk Production 
Will you give me a good cow ration 
for producing milk? I have all the Al¬ 
falfa bay and silage I want to use. This 
is ration I am feeding, but do not get 
good results; 100 lbs. cornmeal. 100 lbs. 
ground oats, 200 lbs. gluten, 100 lbs. 
cottonseed meal, 100 lbs. bran, salt. 
I feed four quarts to each cow night 
and morning. I would not get milk 
at all if I fed 1 lb. for 3 lbs. 
milk. I feed twice a day, hay at noon, 
silage morning and night, one bushel to 
each cow’ twice a day. Is my ration at 
fault or my way of feeding? c. A. J. 
Garrison, N. Y. 
The combination that you propose to 
use with your grade Guernseys and Hol- 
steins, even though it is fed with Alfalfa 
hay and silage, is faulty because it lacks 
bulk and palatibility. I would suggest 
the following mixture, using the same 
ingredients that you have on band, with 
the exception of the substitution of lin¬ 
seed meal for the cottonseed meal: 300 
lbs. cornmeal. 200 lbs. ground oats, 100 
lbs. bran. 200 lbs. linseed meal. 200 lbs. 
gluten feed. Allow the cows all of the 
Alfalfa hay that they will consume, and 
for the cows which give more than 35 
or 40 lbs. of milk I should feed an addi¬ 
tional half pound of cottonseed meal. 
The amount of grain fed to dairy cows 
should be divided into two equal feedings 
for morning and night, and the silage 
should be fed twice daily. The bulk of 
the roughage or Alfalfa hay should be 
fed during the middle of the day. How¬ 
ever, where you have hay of good quality 
and the cows are not turned out into the 
yard it is well to let them have some 
hay in the morning after the grain and 
silage, and again at night after their 
evening meal. It is doubtful whether 
cows can be prevailed upon to consume 
too much roughage of this character; 
oftentimes it is the limiting factor in 
the profitable production of milk. 
Make sure that you have salt available 
for the cow’s, and it should be supplied 
daily. It is permissible to add 1% per 
cent of salt to the grain mixture,
