Cream Separator 
Side-by-Side 
with any other machine any clever sales talk may 
have caused you to think of buying because it 
is said to be “just as good,” cheaper, or for 
any other reason. 
And if merely SEEING the two machines SIDE- 
BY-SIDE does notcon vince you, go a step further and 
TRY them side-by-side. Not one buyer in a hundred 
ever does that and fails to choose the De Laval. 
If your local De Laval agent is not anxious to 
give you every opportunity to thus avoid making a 
mistake in the purchase of a cream separator, the 
use of which means a saving or a loss every time it 
is used twice-a-day every day in the year, please 
drop us a line to the nearest general office address 
below and we will be glad to do so directly.

Organized Co-operation 
A NEW BOOK 
This book is written in three 
parts. 
PART ONE.—The Develop¬ 
ment of the Agricultural Indus¬ 
try. In five chapters. 
PART TWO. — Fundamental 
Principles and Adaptable Forms 
of Co-operative Organization. In 
ten chapters. 
PART THREE. — Application 
of Co-operation to Efficient and 
Economic Distribution of Farm 
Products. In seven chapters. 
This is a new treatment of the 
co-operative subject. Heretofore 
writers of b«.oks have contented 
By JOHN J. DILLON 
themselves with accounts of co¬ 
operative work where established. 
It has been mostly propaganda 
and exhortation. This was all 
good in its time. But we have 
grown beyond it. Farmers are 
now committed to co-operation. 
Once shy of it, they are at last a 
unit for it. What they want now 
is principles and definite policies 
that have Droved successful. This 
book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and it 
is to be hop.d better, books will 
follow on this line; but for the 
present there is no other book 
seriously treating the subject of 
organized co-operation.

Growing Alfalfa and Soy Beans 
(Continued from Page 738) 
ground barley feed and oat feed in a mix¬ 
ture increases the bulk and fiber. As¬ 
suming that you have some of this feed 
in hand and desire to utilize it as a basis 
for your dairy ration, I should suggest 
that you proceed as follows: 1.000 lbs. of 
mixed 20 per cent feed, 200 lbs. linseed 
meal, 300 lbs. hominy, 300 lbs. gluten 
feed, 200 lbs. wheat bran. 
When the animals go out to pasture, 
then the addition of the hominy and glu¬ 
ten feed would be all that would be nec¬ 
essary and, under such circumstances, an 
18 or 20 per cent feed ought to suffice. 
If the Guernsey heifer in question, how¬ 
ever, continues to produce as much as 35 
lbs. of milk per day, it would be advan¬ 
tageous to give her a ration carrying as 
much as 24 per cent of protein. 
Rye and vetch make a good green feed, 
although you will find that the cutting 
period is relatively short. Rye grows 
very rapidly and in its earlier stage is in¬ 
clined to the washy, while in its later 
states it is woody and unpalatable. I 
should think that unless you have an 
abundance of pasture, it would be advan¬ 
tageous to you to seed some oats and Can¬ 
ada field peas as early in the Spring as 
possible, making successive seedings of 
this crop to provide the desired soiling 
crop. It is quite a desirable green feed. 
Feed for Cows and Sheep 
I would like a good dairy ration for a 
cow fresh, and one to freshen in June. I 
am now feeding a mixed dairy ration 
which I buy for $2.80 per ewt., 24 per 
cent protein. I have a poor grade of hay, 
Timothy; no silage or roots. I intend 
to feed the cows when drying up 30 lbs. 
eornmeal, 30 lbs. bran, 30 lbs. ground 
oats. I would like to have a mixture of 
500 or 600 lbs. Cottonseed meal, 43 per 
cent, is $3.15 per 100 lbs.; gluten feed, 
$2.75; linseed meal, $2.75 ; bran, $1.00; 
ground oats, $2.35; brown middlings, 
$1.90; eornmeal, $2.10. Would the fol¬ 
lowing be a good ration for sheep in lamb, 
yearlings ,and sheep with lambs by side? 
Thirty pounds each of bran, ground oats 
and eornmeal, and 10 lbs. linseed meal. 
Washington Co., N. Y. w. L. 
The suggested ration of 30 ibs. of corn, 
30 lbs. of bran, 30 lbs. of oats and 10 
ibs. of linseed meal would make a good 
combination for use in feeding your dry 
cow, and it would be equally successful 
in feeding sheep. It is not necessary to 
incorporate quite as much linseed meal 
in rations for sheep, especially where 
they have access to a fairly good grade 
of hay. More oats and less grain would 
be preferable for the sheep. The feeding 
of grain to ewes heavy in lamb has been 
known to prompt the losing of their wool, 
and for this reason a combination of 
oats and bran is generally considered ad¬ 
visable for feeding sheep. 
If I were combining the ingredients 
mentioned I should not combine them in 
equal amounts, as you have indicated. 
Remember that cottonseed meal carries 
about 43 per cent of protein, gluten feed 
about 25, linseed meal runs between 30 
and 35, bran will give about 14 per cent, 
and ground oats in the neighborhood of 
12. Buckwheat middlings will run about 
28 per cent, eornmeal around 8 per cent 
of protein. If we select our proteins from 
the basic ingredients which will give us a 
unit of protein at the lowest cost, and 
follow the same plan in choosing our 
carbohydrates, we shall use largely cot¬ 
tonseed meal, linseed meal, buckwheat 
middlings and eornmeal. We cannot over¬ 
look the fact, however, that a ration com¬ 
pounded from concentrated products of 
this character must be supplemented with 
some bulky feeds, like corn and ground 
oats. 
If you desire, therefore, to compound a 
shovel mixture and use the ingredients 
mentioned which are lowest in cost and 
best suited for your purpose, the follow¬ 
ing combination has been worked out to 
feed our own cows: Buckwheat mid¬ 
dlings, 200 lbs.; eornmeal, 250 lbs.; bran, 
100 lbs.; oats, 100 lbs.; linseed meal. 150 
lbs.; cottonseed meal, 200 lbs. You can 
simplify this ration for Summer condi¬ 
tions. I would not use any buckwheat 
middlings during the Summer, for buck¬ 
wheat feeds become wormy in Summer, 
not having the keeping qualities which 
accompany eornmeal, bran and the pro¬ 
tein feeds supplied by cottonseed meal and 
linseed meal. I should not feed any of 
the cottonseed meal to the sheep.
