UNADILLA SILOS 
M EN tell us, “ If I ever need another silo you can be sure 
it will be a Unadilla.” Then when they do get another, 
it is a Unadilla. 
The biggest reason why today more Unadillas are bought 
in the East than any two others is that one Unadilla sells 
another.. When you look into the way a Unadilla is made, 
you will see the advantages that make dairy owners prefer 
it—after having their experience with others. 
It’s easy to find out what all these Unadilla advantages, 
are. They’re all fully explained in our catalog. Whether you 
need a silo now, or will need one soon, Send for Catalog. 
If you want to save money on your Unadilla Silo, decide 
to order early. Our early order discounts are worth while. 
A Unadilla can be purchased on easy terms.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Too Expensive Mixture 
Would you give me a ration for my 
dairy? This is what l feed and mix my¬ 
self : ‘>00 lbs. bran, 300 lbs. oats, 300 lbs. 
gluten meal, 100 lbs. oilmeal with clover 
twice a day and cornstalks at noon. 
New York. c. J. 
The only suggestion that I would make 
in regard to the ration that you are now 
feeding would be to incorporate some 
corn or hominy meal in the combination. 
The mixture as now used carries approx¬ 
imately 24 per cent of protein but you 
have failed to use the product that would 
give you the carbohydrates or energy 
producing materials at the least cost. 
While the following combination carries 
only about 20 per cent of protein it will 
eost you less than the above quoted in¬ 
gredients and, if fed to cows of average 
production which are being fed clover or 
Alfalfa bay, it will give satisfactory re- 
snlts: 200 lbs. bran, 200 lbs. ground 
oats, 200 lbs. gluten meal, 230 lbs. corn- 
meal. 150 lbs. oilmeal. 
Unless you have some mangel beets or 
silage to feed in conjunction with the 
above ration beet pulp would materially 
increase the flow of milk. Cornstalks are 
about equal to Timothy bay in feeding 
value. 
Using Peanut Products 
Will you give me a balanced ration 
having 22 per cent protein or better for 
Holstein milk cows? We have the fol¬ 
lowing feeds: ground oats, cornmeal with 
or without cob, peanut chaff which we 
can buy for $15 per ton. Can buy cotton¬ 
seed and oilmeal or any other that is 
suitable. We have good silage, and clover 
hay. Would you also give a ration with 
buckwheat included? c. a. f. 
New York. 
Peanut chaff, even at $15 per ton would 
be expensive as a source of feed for 
dairy cows. Not only do products of 
this character run high in fiber but the 
quality of the protein and energy nutri¬ 
ents which they provide is very poor. A 
better plan would be to spend this same 
amount of money toward the purchase of 
a quality roughage like clover bay or 
Alfalfa bay to supplement the grain ra¬ 
tion which would improve the conditions 
required for profitable milk production. 
Again, there is a notable variation in 
the analysis and composition of peanut 
by-product feeds. Unadulterated peanut 
meal which is a product not carrying 
any of the shells, or skins, or husks of 
the peanut provides an excellent protein. 
However, at this time such products are 
relatively high for the bulk of this prod¬ 
uct is imported and carries substantial 
transportation and carrying charges. 
On the basis of providing a 22 per cent 
protein ration using buckwheat middlings 
and one without this product, and at¬ 
tempting to combine the ingredients 
which you have mentioned and have on 
hand, the following mixtures are sub¬ 
mitted : ground oats, 150 lbs.; corn and 
cob meal, 300 lbs.; coarse wheat bran. 
150 lbs.; 43 per cent cottonseed meal, 
100 lbs.; 35 per cent linseed meal, 150 
lbs.; 40 per cent gluten meal, 150 lbs. 
Assuming that the ingredients men¬ 
tioned are of standard analysis and of 
good quality and basing calculations on 
average analysis, this combination will 
provide a mixture carrying 21 per cent 
protein. 
If it is desired to substitute buckwheat 
middlings in the mixture then proceed as 
follows: buckwheat middlings, 200 lbs.; 
corn and cob meal. 250 lbs.; wheat bran, 
200 lbs.; gluten meal, 100 lbs.; 43 per 
cent cottonseed meal, 100 lbs.; linseed 
meal, 150 lbs. 
This mixture will carry almost a 
pound more of protein than the first men¬ 
tioned combination due chiefly to the fact 
that the buckwheat middlings are much 
higher in protein than the ground oats. 
Either of these combinations will be 
bulky, nutritious, and palatable, and will 
provide a sufficient amount of digestible 
nutrients in attractive form. Naturally 
the best results iu the use of this mixture 
would follow where an abundance of 
silage and roots were available, and 
where both grain and succulence is sup¬ 
plemented with a good quality of legume 
hay.
