Dairymen Attention! 
One-half century of milling experience, expert inves¬ 
tigation, and practical application have resulted in 
the Sugared Schumacher Feeding Plan. This Plan 
maintains the health of the herd, produces profitable 
production and secures success in dairying.Thousands 
fellow it. No man can afford to depart from it. We 
•are including nine important points of this Plan: 
1— If possible, supply liberal quantities of good 
alfalfa or clover hay. 
2— Supply silage or roots. Succulence is essen¬ 
tial. Silage or roots form the sources for it 
in winter. Grass and silage meet the need 
for succulence throughout the summer. The 
vitamins in silage, roots, and grass are es¬ 
pecially valuable. 
3— Always use Sugared Schumacher Feed as the 
carbohydrate portion of the ration. It sup¬ 
plies variety, palatability, digestibility and 
efficiency. 
4— Balance it with Boss Dairy Ration, or bal¬ 
ance it with the least expensive protein feed. 
5— Balance the ration according to each cow’s 
need. Do not try to feed the same ration to 
the entire herd. 
6— Make the ration bulky, palatable, digestible, 
varied and profitable. 
7— Feed liberally. 
8— Feed according to production. Weigh or 
measure the feed. Give approximately 1 lb. 
of grain to every 3 lbs. of high testing milk. 
Give approximately 1 lb. of grain to every 
3}4 lbs. of medium testing milk. 
Give approximately 1 lb. of grain to every 
4 lbs. of low testing milk. 
9— Remember that almost all cows require at 
least five times as much carbohydrate ma¬ 
terial as they do protein. 
Carbohydrates furnish energy and heat, maintain 
health, furnish the greater proportion of the solids 
in milk and contribute largely to growth in young 
stock. 
Sugared Schumacher Feed is the distinctive Carbo¬ 
hydrate Feed to use as the base for all dairy rations. 
Sugared Schumacher Feed and 
Boss Dairy Ration will solve 
your dairy problems.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Figures of a Dairy Community 
While we farmers are making our 
plans for the coming year, and have a 
little time for reflection, I would like to 
give some figures showing what our com¬ 
munity has been through for the past 
two years. We are a fair sample of any 
dairying section in the State, being in 
the heart of the New York City milk zone 
—Cortland Co. My object in compiling 
these figures is to show the absolute ne¬ 
cessity of our getting together under a 
sane method of marketing our product in 
order to save us from rushing into the 
European peasant system of the old time. 
I mention that European peasant sys¬ 
tem feelingly, because some of our fel¬ 
low dairymen are now holding such posi¬ 
tions with wealthy city farm owners, as 
shovelers of snow and mowers of lawns, 
leaving well equipped farms that have 
been in their families for several genera¬ 
tions. Now is the time for us to take a 
brace and find out whether we are to 
maintain our agriculture on a business 
basis, or whether it is to slip from our 
hands into the possession of the wealthy 
city dweller as his plaything and we to be 
employed as his servant—tenders of his 
game preserves. 
The figures herein given, are taken 
from the records of the only railroad 
taking farm produce from the section. 
The figures showing the farmer’s costs 
are obtained from the merchants who 
sold to the farmers. The assessments are 
correct, being taken from the records. 
Ninety per cent of the output is milk, 
and this is the record for the past two 
years, ending Dec. 1, 1923, there being 
less loss in milk production than in any 
other branch of farming.

The difference between these totals is 
a fair measure of the labor income of the 
360 farmers in the community, for the 
two years, 'which is an average income of 
$577 per family per year. This is based 
on the supposition that there was no out¬ 
side labor cost—all work being carried on 
within the family. If outside help was 
required, the yearly income for that 
family was that much reduced. 
Now that we are all required to build 
milk-liouses- and ice-houses and fill them 
at a cost of, say $300, how much is there 
going to be left for the families out of 
this $577? Can we live on it? How 
about the coming generations? Can any 
parent ask or expect a child to remain 
on the farm under such conditions? Is 
it not our duty to sacrifice some of our 
pride and our cock-sureness enough to 
unite on a co-operative plan whereby the 
cost of production can be obtained through 
orderly marketing? Isn’t it our duty to 
unite with some one of these many milk 
organizations and make it a success in¬ 
stead of wasting our substance in dis¬ 
tinctive competition? 
If we lack the intelligence to do this, 
I see nothing ahead for us 'but to be uni¬ 
formed. as lackies and select our positions 
as keepers of the kennels and watchers 
of the game in good old European style.
