KOW-KARE works wonders' 7 
c_/l poor milker costs just as much to house, feed and 
care for as a good producer. For this reason just a slight 
increase in the milk yield makes a big difference in the 
net profit. Dairy experts say an increase of 10 °/o in the 
milk yield will double the profit. 
How important it is, then to get from your cows every 
pint of milk of which they are capable. 
The chief cause —almost the only cause — of poor 
milkers is the condition of their health. Particularly the 
health of the milk-making organs. 
Kow-Kare, the famous cow medicine and conditioner, 
acts directly on the milk-producing organs. It tones up 
the genital and digestive functions, makes them sturdy 
and active. More milk and better health must result. 
Feed Kow-Kare one week out of each month (a table¬ 
spoonful twice a day) and the result will surprise you. 
For the treatment of Barrenness, Abortion, Retained 
Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, Lost Appetite, 
etc., Kow-Kare has a well-earned reputation. No dairy 
barn should be without it. For twenty-five years it has 
been the chief reliance of thousands of dairymen, when 
cows are sick. 
Feed dealers, general stores and druggists sell 
Kow-Kare; $1.25 and 65c sizes. Write for our 
free book, “The Home Cow Doctor.” It is full 
of information valuable to cow owners.

Watch the milk pail close¬ 
ly. The ri9e and fall of the 
yield indicates the health 
condition of the cow. A 
cow may look well, yet be 
suffering from sluggish di¬ 
gestive or genital organs. 
Kow-Kare acts directly on 
these organs. Its use re¬ 
stores normal milk yield 
and enables the cow to 
throw off disease.

Excessive Grain Feed 
I have a herd of grade Holsteins milk¬ 
ing from 20 to 50 lbs. a day. I am feed¬ 
ing 18 lbs. of the following dairy feed: 
Protein, 24 per cent; fat, 5 per cent.; 
fiber, 10 per cent; carbohydrates, 45 per 
cent. Would it be profitable to feed d-ied 
beet pulp in with this feed, and bow 
much, or could I add anything else to im¬ 
prove this feed? B. s. K. 
New Jersey. 
For your herd of grade Holstein cows 
milking from 20 to 50 lbs. a day it would 
seeoi that 18 lbs. of grain per cow per 
day is an extravagant amount. The use 
of a better grade of roughage rather than 
more grain would bring this mixture into 
balance and would materially decrease 
the cost of a quart of milk. If beet pulp 
is to be included in the daily ration 
for these cows, feed it moistened rather 
than incorporated dry with the 24 per 
cent mixed feed. Beet pulp, as you know, 
carries very little protein and does not 
contribute as much carbohydrate, pound 
for pound, as does either cornmeal or 
hominy meal. Hence, to make the best 
use of this by-product it should be looked 
upon to provide succulence, increase the 
palatability of the mixture, and increase 
the digestibility of its companion feeds. 
In order to reduce the cost of this feed I 
suggest that you use 70 lbs. of the 24 per 
cent feed, 20 lbs. ground oats or corn- 
meal, and 10 lbs. old process linseed meal. 
Usually one can purchase corn locally at 
a saving in price and, if you have been 
feeding your cows 18 lbs. of the 24 per 
cent ration, .it is likely that their flow of 
milk will decrease somewhat for the time 
being; but that they will eventually re¬ 
gain normal production with more rough- 
age and less protein.

Feeding Family Cows 
I have two cows for the family use, 
one is dry, the other fresh. I wish a ra¬ 
tion for each one of them. I have no 
silage, but good Timothy hay. E. E. 
New York. 
For the dry cow, assuming that she is 
in fairly good condition, feed a mixture 
consisting of : 30 lbs. of cornmeal, 30 lbs. 
ground oats, 30 lbs. bran, 10 lbs. old 
process linseed meal. Allow from 5 to 
8 lbs. of this mixture per day with all 
of the roughage that the cow will con¬ 
sume. 
For the cow in milk it is necessary to 
provide a mixture carrying more protein; 
hence the following combination : 25 lbs. 
cornmeal, 20 lbs. oats, 20 lbs. bran, 25 
lbs. linseed meal, 10 lbs. gluten feed. 
If it is inconvenient for you to secure 
the gluten feed and you prefer to use 
nothing' but linseed meal as a protein 
carrier, then increase the oats to 30 lbs. 
and eliminate the gluten feed. As a 
guide in determining the amount to feed 
this cow, allow her 1 lb. of this grain 
ration for each 3 y 2 lbs. of milk produced 
per day and, in addition, let her have all 
the Timothy hay that she will consume, 
and some moistened beet pulp twice daily.

Ration Without Silage 
Would you send me a ration for milk 
cows where I have nothing but mixed 
hay, clover and Timothy. B. h. 
Where you have nothing but mixed 
hay consisting of clover and Timothy 
and it is desirable to purchase all of the 
grain ingredients and to use a shovel 
mixture, combine the following products: 
350 lbs. hominy meal, 150 lbs. oilmeal, 
250 lbs. wheat brau, 150 lbs. 43 per ceut 
cottonseed meal, 150 lbs. buckwheat mid¬ 
dlings. 
Be sure that the cottonseed meal car¬ 
ries the desired amount of protein, and 
do not accept buckwheat feed for the 
buckwheat middlings. The former car¬ 
ries only 10 or 12 per cent of protein, 
while the latter carries 28 per cent. If 
the cows are in the flush of their lacta¬ 
tion period it would be to your advant¬ 
age to secure some beet pulp and to 
moisten this for 12 hours previous to feed¬ 
ing and let this product supplement the 
proposed mixture.
