The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Most Economical 
for Farm Service 
Priced low, the Speed Wagon saves in 
first cost. 
Brute endurance for a quarter-million 
miles of service brings depreciation costs 
to a remarkably low figure. 
Oversized vital parts and unusual accessi¬ 
bility mean freedom from repair bills. 
Roadability and traction qualities reduce 
the cost of enforced idleness. 
Liberal load capacity (500 to 2500 lbs.) 
saves the expense of frequent double trips. 
Relatively light chassis weight, pneumatic 
cord tires, superior engine efficiency, — all 
contribute to remarkable fuel economy. 
That the Speed Wagon is the cheapest 
commercial car for farm service is proved 
by such facts as the above.

for complete saturation. Beet pulp 
should be soaked for 12 hours before feed¬ 
ing, and enough water, either warm or 
cold, added so that the material will be 
flaky, but not mushy. Beet pulp is not 
only palatable but nutritious and seems 
to increase the digestibility and value of 
companion feeds. On the basis of 5 lbs, 
of the dry beet pulp per cow per day, 
and assuming that your cows will go out 
to grass early in May, it would require a 
ton of beet pulp to carry three cows until 
pasture grass is available. Sprinkle the 
grain over the beet pulp after it has been 
placed in the cow’s feed box or manger. 
The ability of a cow to give milk high 
or low in butterfat, or, in other words, 
high-or low in cream content, depends 
upon her breeding and inheritance, rath¬ 
er than upon the ration fed. One cannot 
feed a Holstein cow a ration rich in car- ■ 
bohydrates and succeed in having her 
produce Jersey milk. Any sudden change 
iu a ration is likely temporarily to modify 
the butterfat content of the milk; but it 
is common knowledge that the quality of 
milk cannot be substantially modified oy 
making alterations in the daily ration. 
Of course a cow in normal condition that 
is in good flesh and vigor will produce 
milk more nearly normal than would re¬ 
sult iu case she were poor or under¬ 
nourished. Oftentimes cows that freshen 
carrying an abundance of flesh produce 
milk containing more butterfat. I sually, 
however, as cows advance in their lacta¬ 
tion period there is some slight increase 
in the butterfat, or, as you may term it.

Feeding Young Pigs 
Would you give me full information on 
what to feed young pigs six or seven 
\yeeks old? About what weight would 
thev be at the age of six or seven months . ; 
They have a warm place and are well 
taken care of. I have lots of skim-milk 
for them. 
■New York. 
If you have tin abundance of skim-milk 
it will be a simple problem to provide a 
ration that will enable your hogs to at¬ 
tain a weight of 175 or 200 lbs. when 
they are seven months old. Ordinarily u 
is a conservative estimate to expect pigs 
to gain approximately 1 lb. a day. A 
mixture consisting of five parts of yel¬ 
low eorumeal, three parts of white mid¬ 
dlings, and two parts of ground oats, is 
proposed. This combination should be 
used until the pigs weigh about 75 lbs., 
at which time the mixture should be 
changed to seven parts of corn and three 
parts of ground oats. It is advisable to 
allow 4 or 5 lbs. of skim-milk for each 
pound of dry grain fed. This method will 
preclude the necessity for using digester 
tankage or meat scrap to supply the ani¬ 
mal protein. If you do not have enough 
skim-millc so that this ration can be used, 
then it would be advisable to include 
either 5 per cent of digester tankage or S 
per cent of linseed meal in your grain 
mixture. 
Keep before the pigs, if they are con¬ 
fined in dry lots, a mixture consisting of 
equal parts of salt and ground limestone. 
If possible, let the growing pigs nibble 
away at the clover or Alfalfa hay, espe¬ 
cially if it is leafy and well cured. 
For pigs six or seven weeks old, fre¬ 
quent feedings are advantageous and 
there is also an advantage in allowing 
the pigs some cracked or shelled corn to 
chew on. They seem to like to hear the 
cracking of the corn, and do well when 
this practice is inaugurated. It is not <o 
essential that pigs be kept iu a warm 
place as it is that they be supplied with 
dry bedding and kept in clean quarters. 
Beans for Sheep 
I have fed Cull beans five Winters to 
sheep alone, and consider them better 
than any other grain for breeding ewes. 
But, mixed with equal parts, by weight, 
with corn and oats makes a better ration. 
Would strongly advise against grinding, 
as I tried grinding one lot and was tin- 
able to get more than half the flock to 
eat them ground. But, whole, sprinkled 
with salt or other grain, they take to 
them readily. F. F. CUTLEB.

Bag Balm especially valuable in 
treating any injury to the udder or teats. 
The delicate cells of this organ are very 
easily injured and unless quickly and 
properly cared for do not heal in their 
original structure. Bag Balm restores 
and rebuilds the tissues so that there 
will be no interference with normal 
milk flow. 
Soft, silky udders have a lot to do with full 
milk yield—aa well aa eaay milking. Keep 
Bag Balm on hand for any healing emer¬ 
gency. Very useful In cases of Caked Bag.
