Combine These Feeds 
To Meet Your Conditions 
These two feeds represent true economy 
in feeding dairy cattle because they are 
so adaptable to various kinds of home¬ 
grown roughage. 
SUGARED 
Schumacher Feed 
and 
Boss Dairy Ration 
with your home-grown roughage give you 
maximum milk yields at minimum feed cost. 
Sugared Schumacher Feed has always 
been held in high favor with dairymen 
because its variety of body building 
carbohydrates keep cows in condition 
for “long time” milk production. 
Boss Dairy Ration (24% Protein) contains 
choicest protein concentrates that make for 
greater milk yields. 
Scientific experiments have shown that miner¬ 
al matter is necessary, but usually lacking in 
dairy rations. We have followed the recom¬ 
mendation of Experiment Stations and added 
Calcium Carbonate to both of these feeds. 
If your hay is clover, alfalfa, cowpea or soy beans, feed 
200 pounds Boss Dairy Ration 
100 pounds Sugared Schumacher Feed 
If your hay is yi clover, alfalfa or other legume, feed 
100 pounds Boss Dairy Ration 
100 pounds Sugared Schumacher Feed 
If your hay is straight clover or alfalfa, feed 
100 pounds Boss Dairy Ration 
300 pounds Sugared Schumacher Feed

Diversified Farming; More Sheep 
I have a bound volume of the Evan- 
gelica Witness, a 7 x 4-in. paper, pub- 
ished at Newburgh, N. Y., in 1823, and 
quote now 100 years later from it. 
William Gillespie, Esq., of the town 
of Montgomery, County of Orange, sowed 
seed for a nursery of white mulberry for 
the purpose of the culture of the silk 
worm. The ground occupied is about 
four square rods. This small lot yielded 
175 skeins, rivaling in softness, strength 
and beauty the best imported article. 
These skeins, with a sufficient quantity 
of tow for a pair of stockings would com¬ 
mand on the market about $10. One 
acre cultivated the same way would yield 
$320, besides the expense of labor. Farm¬ 
ers might clothe their wives in silk at 
less expense than it now requires to 
clothe them in fine cottons. It is esti¬ 
mated that $5000 worth of sewing silk 
is annually sold in Orange county. All 
this would be saved by the extension of 
this profitable branch of industry. Mr 
Gillespie had a premium of $8 awarded 
him by the agricultural society in 1822.” 
This ancient history calls up that some 
of the wails from the farms are the re¬ 
sult of sending off our money for fibers 
that should be encouraged at home; wool 
fibers that are carrying shoddy and so- 
called silk fibers made with cotton and 
tin. and others made of cellulose. It 
would be wise to lower the surplus prod¬ 
ucts by increasing our deficits. Farmers 
.of Utah and Idaho and Colorado will col¬ 
lect about $25,000,000 from last year’s 
sugar beets, and the wool growers of the 
land over $100,000,000 from wool. By 
thinking what would happen to the low- 
priced other growths if the acreage de¬ 
voted to wool and sugar had been growing 
them also, we may see the value of bal¬ 
anced production. 
There is startling evidence of unwise 
business in this issue of The R. N.-Y. 
There are but five sheep advertisements 
of two lines each in it, showing the lim¬ 
ited demand in the territory where it cir¬ 
culates most freely. Some of the best 
sheep breeders in the world are there and 
ship sheep to the middle and great West, 
and also half way around the world, 
while the lands and the welfare of New 
Yorkers and New Englanders are crying 
for sheep. There is nothing these sec¬ 
tions need worse than sheep, and to think 
almost all of them go long trips to es¬ 
tablished fioekmasters who have plenty of 
their own and pick up something choice 
when they find it. The fact that such 
sheep can be grown there proves there is 
no better place for the animals. 
I am not writing for these breeders, 
but for an American sheep industry, and 
the welfare of Americans. It is my 
recreation. When one gets along in life 
he needs that, and it is a pleasure to take 
it trying to help others, and as sheep¬ 
raising is my line, and since it is a de¬ 
ficit industry which will never be over¬ 
worked during the life of readers, and is 
worthy, I use part of every evening after 
pleasure in the fields or barns during the 
day, writing or talking for the good 
cause. 
One trouble with farmers is that their 
characters are formed, as well as their 
habits, and they stay in a rut they got 
into early in life. They do not know 
sheep and don’t care to learn, but there is 
a fine chance ahead for the boys and girls. 
Here is the last letter from a boy. It 
came today. About two weeks back we 
got one from him which read: “I’m a boy 
12 years old, on a 125-acre farm. I am 
in the calf club, and I want to ask you 
if I should stay or start in sheep. My 
father is a sheep man and told me to 
write you.” We told him to sell the calf 
and put the money in ewes, and to go in 
debt on more, and now he writes: “My 
father started the day I got your letter 
and bought me three registered ewes for 
$95, and now I intend to be a sheep man.” 
That chap will get this: “You made a 
fortunate choice in a father. I want you 
to succeed. You can be as well off as 
your father now is at 30. Raise all you 
can, and keep on until he makes you rent 
pasture and grow your own feed.” 
Every farm boy and girl who takes an 
interest in the work of the place, whose 
parents identify their lives with it by 
giving them a $hare for their very own,

INJURIES 
Cows—and other livestock—are con¬ 
stantly receiving external injuries. To 
keep these hurts from becoming seri¬ 
ous apply Bag Balm promptly. This 
great healing ointment cleanses and 
protects the wound, stimulates circula¬ 
tion and restores the injured tissues. 
Injuries to the udder and teats of your cows 
are especially dangerous because of their ef¬ 
fect on the milk-flow and the possibility of 
permanent congestion of Improperly healed 
tissues. Bag Balm heals and restores the 
normal cell-structure. 
Use Bag Balm for any cut, scratch, chaps, 
■bruises, inflammation—also to reduce Caked 
Bag oF in treating Bunches and Cow Pox.
