keep it running smoothly 
Thousands of tiny, intricate cells and ducts 
make up the milk-producing system of the 
udder and teats. Injury to any part of these 
tissues causes a holding up of the milk flow. 
Permanent congestion and loss of productive 
capacity may result from neglect of the slight¬ 
est hurt. 
At the first sign of any cut, scratch, bruise, 
chap or inflammation apply Bag Balm. This 
soothing ointment protects the wound, stimu¬ 
lates circulation and brings about quick and 
proper healing. 
The penetrating, restoring powers of Bag Balm 
are very effective in the treatment of Caked Bag 
and also Bunches, Cow Pox and Stricture. No 
cow owner should be without this remedy.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Rye for Live Stock 
1. I would like to know the feeding 
value of rye. How is it to fatten hogs? 
Can they be made fat without the addi¬ 
tion of corn? 2. Is it safe to feed it to 
sows in pig? 3. Is it all right to feed 
some to chickens, mixed with their scratch 
grains? 4. Can it be profitably mixed 
with a dairy ration? J. B. 
1. Rye has about the same feeding 
value as corn for feeding pigs, although 
it is not as palatable. When it is mixed, 
equal parts, with corn, and 10 per cent 
of tankage added to the combination, it 
provides a useful ration for fattening 
market animals. 
2. It is not safe to feed rye to sows in 
pig. If the rye is clean and free from 
ergot, mold or dust, it can be included in 
the ration, although it should be supple¬ 
mented with some coarse product, such 
as Alfalfa hay or clover hay, and should 
not compose more than 15 per cent of the 
ration. * 
3. Practice does not sanction the use 
of any rye in rations intended for laying 
hens. It is believed that this product 
has a tendency to interfere with molting, 
and likewise is believed to be responsible 
for other disorders. 
4. Rye is not commonly used in rations 
intended for dairy cows. It is not espe¬ 
cially palatable and, while it .might re¬ 
place a third of the grain in the mixture, 
care would have to be exercised in com¬ 
pounding the mixture so that the flavor of 
the rye would not permeate. A safer 
plan would be to reserve enough rye to 
supplement your corn and tankage for use 
in feeding pigs intended for fattening 
purposes, and to sell the balance or to ex¬ 
change it for other feeds of recognized 
value for poultry and dairy feeding. 
Trouble With Calf 
We have a bull calf about 10 months 
old that has been having scours quite bad¬ 
ly. He was on exhibition at the county 
fair and about two weeks after bringing 
him home started scouring. His feed was 
hay and a grain ration and a little silage. 
Forestville, N. Y. L. D. 
It is probable that the bull calf was 
given some feed that caused indigestion 
and .the resulting laxativeness. If the 
condition persists deny the calf all grain 
for a few days; feed him largely on some 
such roughage as Timothy hay, and then 
bring him to his feed again through the 
use of a mixture consisting of equal parts 
of oats, bran, corn or hominy meal, to 
which you have added 10 per cent of lin- 
j seed meal. If the condition reappears, 
then it is evident that there is some in¬ 
testinal infection, in which case the atten¬ 
tion of a veterinarian should be invited. 
Grain With Poor Roughage 
I wish a balanced ration for a dairy 
with the following: Timothy hay, oats, 
with a little wheat and barley mixed. 
Dexter, N. Y. G. a. k. 
Where Timothy hay is the exclusive 
roughage and where no silage or mangels 
are available, one faces a condition that 
is often discouraging to a dairyman. Un¬ 
der such conditions a ration relatively 
high in protein must be fed, and cows 
will not respond with satisfactory 
amounts of milk where they have neither 
succulence nor a legume roughage. Re- 
alzing, however, that such conditions pre¬ 
vail on a great many farms, and that you 
can ill afford to sell the products at hand 
and purchase the more desirable ones, the 
following combination, though lacking 
somewhat in variety, is proposed: 300 
lbs. of ground oats, 400 lbs. mixed wheat 
and barley, 200 lbs. old process linseed 
; meal, 200 lbs. 43 per cent cottonseed 
meal. 
This will provide a ration carrying 
22 y -2 per cent protein, which is. little 
enough under the circumstances. The 
addition of 100 lbs. of bran and 100 lbs. 
of gluten meal would be desirable. Make 
sure that the oats and the mixed wheat 
aud barley are ground so that the mix¬ 
ture will be bulky and more digestible. 
Let the cows have all of the Timothy hay 
that they will consume. Much would he 
gained if some moistened beet pulp could 
be fed in conjunction with these products.
