How Long Does It Take to 
Milk Your Cows? 
1 Man -+- Hinman Milker — 3 
Hand Milkers 
Y OU can save at least one-half of 
that time. If it’s only %-hour at 
each milking, that’s 365 hours a year. 
At ten working hours a day, it means 
over 36 full days. Whether you in¬ 
crease your herd and get bigger milk 
checks, or get along with less hired 
help, or do other work with that ex tra 
month—it means just that much 
more profit every year. 
Over 60,000 Hinman Units are in 
this one way earning more for dairy¬ 
men—regularly. So simple and easy 
to keep thoroughly clean, they are pro¬ 
ducing clean milk with low bacteria 
count— in manycases Certified Milk.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Various Feeding Questions 
What would be a good grain ration 
to feed my cows in Summer, on good 
pasture, with ground corn on cob and 
oats? I can get the standard unmixed 
feed, such as linseed, cottonseed meal, 
bran, etc. What ration is good in Win¬ 
ter with corn fodder, mixed Timothy and 
clover hay, no silage; cows not coming 
fresh until Spring? A. p. 
A suitable ration intended for milking 
cows having access to good pasture in 
the - Summer would result from Combin¬ 
ing : 500 lbs. corn and cob meal, 200 lbs. 
ground oats, 150 lbs. linseed meal, 150 
lbs. cottonseed meal. 
This will provide a combination car¬ 
rying between 17 and 18 per cent of 
protein which is quite enough under 
Summer conditions. I am assuming that 
the cottonseed meal is of good grade. 
During the flush of the pasture season 
in May and June the inclusion of the lin¬ 
seed meal might cause undue laxative¬ 
ness, in which instance gluten meal could 
be substituted in part for the linseed meal 
and in part for the cottonseed meal. An 
appropriate mixture carrying all three of 
these ingredients would consist of: 500 
lbs. corn and cob meal. 200 lbs. oats, 100 
lbs. linseed meal, 100 lbs. cottonseed meal. 
100 lbs. gluten meal. 
Under Winter conditions, with corn 
fodder, mixed hay consisting of Timothy 
and clover, with no silage, and if the 
cows do not freshen until Spring, I should 
feed a ration carrying from 22 to 24 per 
cent of protein which would result from 
compounding the same ingredients in the 
following proportion: 300 lbs. corn and 
cob meal, 200 lbs. oats, 150 lbs. bran, 
150 lbs. linseed meal, 150 lbs. gluten 
meal, 100 lbs. cottonseed meal. 
For the cows during the dry period I 
should use a mixture consisting of equal 
parts of corn or hominy meal, ground 
oats and bran, to which has been added 
10 per cent of linseed meal. Enough of 
this basic ingredient should be fed to 
cause the cows to gain regularly in 
weight and condition. No roughage in 
addition to the pasture need he pro¬ 
vided during Summer; but during Win¬ 
ter, likewise in the dry period, allow the 
cows all of the roughage that they will 
consume. Corn fodder is better than 
Timothy hay under average farm con¬ 
ditions. 
Corn Flakes for Cows 
I bought a lot of left-over corn flakes 
which were used in the production of 
lager beer. The experiment station an¬ 
alyzed them for me. as follows : Water, 
6.72; ash, .66; protein, 9.38; fiber, .45; 
nitrogen free extract, 81.99 ; fat, .80. To 
start the cows on them I fed 200 lbs. 
flakes, 100 lbs. oilmeal and 100 lbs. mid¬ 
dlings, and they are doing fairly well. I 
bought them for $1 per cwt., and if they 
are cheap would like to use them for the 
foundation of the mixture. How will 
the price compare with price of bran or 
cornmeal? Would you give me a ration 
with about a 20 per cent protein content, 
using these flakes freely? c. F. 
Connecticut. 
According to the analysis given, the 
corn flakes might be considered about 
equal in feedihg value to corn feed meal 
or hominy. It will be noted that they 
are extremely low in fiber and that they 
carry less than 10 per cent of protein. 
As a carbohydrate carrier, yielding nearly 
>2 per cent of nitrogen-free extract, how- 
‘ver, they would be extremely cheap at 
he price quoted. If you are desirous of 
compounding a mixture carrying 20 per 
>ent of protein and choose to use largely 
he ingredients mentioned, the following 
combination is submitted: Corn flakes, 
100 lbs.; linseed meal, 200 lbs.; bran, 200 
bs.; gluten meal, 200 lbs. 
I should prefer the bran to the mid- 
llings in order than an additional amount 
of mineral matter might be supplied. I 
am basing this mixture entirely upon the 
theory of its analysis, for I have never 
used corn flakes as a substitute for corn 
and oats in a ration intended for cows in 
milk. This will provide a ration carry¬ 
ing between 20 and 21 per cent of pro¬ 
tein. The ration that you have been 
using, in my opinion, is lower in protein 
than is desired under the circumstances.
