Put A way Your Hay 
Without Hand Forking 
'T'HIS year you can turn your hardest haying job into boy’s play. No 
more sweating and pulling over great rolls of hay in a heated mow. 
No more dumping into the center of the mow. A fourteen-year-old 
boy can put away more hay with a Callahan Hay Guide than three 
strong men can mow away by hand. Two seasons of successful use 
has proved the value of this great laborsaver. We positively guarantee 
that the 
cm 
"Saves Hand Forking in the Mow 
And it does a great deal more. It entirely eliminates the hard- 
packed center which so often causes ‘‘fire-fanging” and sometimes 
spontaneous combustion. The hay is distributed evenly throughout 
the mow. It comes out easily, saving a great deal of time when 
doing chores or baling. You can get several more loads into a big 
loft because all the space is used. 
You can use the Callahan Hay Guide in connection with the hay fork outfit 
you now have—any make. In small barns no track is required. The Callahan 
i> easy to install and anyone can operate it successfully with very little practice. 
It will pay for itself in one week by saving two men in the mow. 
Try a Callahan Hay Guide at our risk. Get one from your dealer; if he 
doesn’t have it write us direct. Test it in your own barn; if you are not fully satisfied 
that it is more than worth its cost, return it in good order within ten days and your 
money will be refunded. To take advantage of thi3 offer, your order must be re¬ 
ceived before June 1st. 
Write today for free pamphlet and price. Get rid of your hardest haying job 
once and for all.

Guard the Udderf 
The ease of milking, and the amount ' 
of the yield is quickly affected by any 
external scratch, cut, chap or inflam¬ 
mation. It is foolish and costly to neg 
lect these apparently “small’' hurts. 
Apply Bag Balm to the injured part, 
and healing begins at once. The pene¬ 
trating, soothing action of Bag Balm 
protects the wound, restores healthy 
circulation and promotes quick healing. 
Soft, silky udders and teats, free from 
scars and hurts make easy milking and 
a full yield. L Keep Bag Balm on hand 
for any emergency.

Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler

Various Feeding Questions 
I would like to know how to feed my 
cows to make the most money from them 
for my feed and labor. I have plenty of 
silage from Eureka corn, no corn to speak 
of in silage; for roughage, corn fodder 
and wheat straw. I would like to feed jus 
much of this roughage as I can. Hay is 
scarce and high, .$25 per ton. Would 
have to buy it. Oilmeal costs $2.75 per 
100 lbs., and cottonseed meal $2.05 
Michigan. N. B. H. 
You are handicapped in not having a 
high grade of roughage to supplement the 
proposed feed that you must buy to feed 
your herd of milking cows. Wheat straw 
is worth quite as much under a cow as it 
is in a cow ; hence it would be necessary 
for you to feed the corn fodder for rough- 
age. Even so, corn fodder is more desir¬ 
able than Timothy hay, which is fed ex¬ 
tensively by dairymen in certain sections 
of the country. It will mean that you 
will have to secure a grain ration carry¬ 
ing a higher percentage of protein if it ’S 
impossible for the cows to obtain any of 
this desirable nutriment from the rough- 
age itself. Since your silage will not 
provide succulence and not much carbo¬ 
hydrate, it will mean that you will have 
to include more grain in your ration 
than would otherwise be necessary. 
Oilmeal at $2.75 per cwt. would be 
more economical than cottonseed at the 
price quoted, aud if you have buckwheat 
that has been produced on your own farm 
I should exchange this for buckwheat 
middlings and use a generous amount of 
this carbohydrate feed in your mixture. 
Ground buckwheat, as we have many 
times stated, is not a desirable feed for 
dairy cows; but there are very few feeds 
that excel buckwheat middlings which 
have been properly combined with other 
ingredients. It is proposed that you con¬ 
struct your ration as follows: Linseed 
meal, 200 lbs.; buckwheat middlings, 150 
lbs.; wheat bran, 200 lbs.; eornmeal, 300 
lbs.; gluten feed, 150 lbs. 
This will establish a 20 per cent pro¬ 
tein feed, which is enough for cows giving 
less than 30 lbs. of milk a day. For cows 
giving more than 30 lbs. of milk a day it 
would be necessary to add 100 lbs. of 
bran and 100 lbs. of gluten meal to this 
ration. Feed the cows according to their 
production. Insist that they be given 
enough concentrates to cause them to 
reach their maximum production. The 
mere fact that you do not have enough 
hay will mean that you will have to feed 
more silage. 
Limited Feed Mixture; Location of Silo 
1. I am feeding grade Holstein cows 
fair silage twice daily, one bushel to a 
cow; Alfalfa hay at noon, and a mix¬ 
ture of grain consisting of 200 lbs. of 
wheat mixed feed, an extra good grade; 
100 lbs. gluten, 100 lbs. oilmeal, and they 
do not seem to milk as they should. 
Could I better it by adding eornmealV I 
am feeding about 1 lb. of grain to 3*4 
lbs. of milk. 2. Will a silo built in one 
end of a haymow cure silage as well as 
one built outside of the barn? E. L. 
1. A mixture limited to wheat feed, 
gluten and oilmeal could not possibly give 
good results. Wheat feed is a mixture of 
bran, middlings and screenings, aud at 
best does not carry more than 16 per cent 
of protein. The addition of eornmeal or 
hominy meal to this combination would 
be highly desirable, and it would sub¬ 
stantially reduce the cost of the mixture. 
Assuming that you desire to limit your 
ingredients to the products mentioned, it 
is proposed that you combine them as 
follows: 200 lbs. hominy meal. 200 lbs. 
wheat feed. 150 lbs. gluten feed, 150 lbs. 
oilmeal. In case you have oats, 100 lbs. 
added to the combination, provided you 
added an additional 50 lbs. of oilmeal 
also, would be highly desirable. 
2. It is desirable to locate the silo 
where it will be most convenient for fill¬ 
ing and feeding purposes. Usually space 
inside the barn is too valuable to be given 
over for the silo; hence it is common 
practice to place the silo itself outside of 
the building. Its location does .not have 
anything to do with the keeping qualities 
of the silage. If the silo is water¬ 
tight, has a good roof, and is filled with 
corn cut at the proper time, you need 
have no fear as to the keeping qualities 
of the product.
