The Cost of Dairy Feed 
The price of dairy feed is not a correct guide to its value as an 
economical feed for making milk. One feed may be cheap at $40.00, 
while another may be dear at $30.00 per ton. 
It all depends on the cost of the elements in the feed which cows can 
turn into milk and how well these combine with the kind of roughage 
fed. The value of a feed is determined by what it produces not by what 
it costs. 
Tioga Dairy Feeds produce more milk for every dollar spent for 
feed. They are feeds that combine with your own roughage to form a 
balanced ration that produces milk at lowest cost. By using the right 
Tioga Dairy Feed you convert more of your roughage into milk, xou 
also maintain a ration of the same nutritive value, no matter how often 
you change from one variety of roughage to another. 
To get more milk at lowest cost, to maintain a balanced ration always 
and get more out of your roughage, feed 
Red Brand Tioga Dairy Feed with low protein succulent roughage. 
White Brand Tioga Dairy Feed with medium protein dry roughage. 
Blue Brand Tioga Dairy Feed with high protein dry roughage. 
If your dealer does not have Tioga Dairy Feeds advise us and we will 
see that you are supplied.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minklef 
Use of Linseed Meal 
I am truly a back-to-tke-lander. I 
spent my early days on the farm. I can 
remember the Freemont-Buchanan cam¬ 
paign, and had log cabin buttons on my 
clothes from a previous presidential cam¬ 
paign. I sailed the ocean and great lakes 
49 years, but I have been at anchor here 
on this hill farm for 12 years. Now I 
want to know how much flaxseed I can 
feed to cows or horse. My son has sent 
me 1,500 lbs. t h. s. d. 
Delaware Co., N. Y. 
Flaxseed meal is a highly concentrated 
protein carrier and is not ordinarily used 
for feeding live stock. As you know, the 
linseed oil is extracted from the flaxseed, 
and the resultant product has come to be 
known as linseed meal or old process oil- 
meal. If the ground flaxseed is used it 
should be supplemented with corn and 
oats for feeding horses in about the fol¬ 
lowing proportions : Seven parts of oats, 
four parts of corn, four parts of bran, 
two parts of ground flaxseed. If in¬ 
tended for dairy cows an increased 
amount might be incorporated in the mix¬ 
ture, made from the same ingredients, 
combined as follows: 300 lbs. of corn, 
200 lbs. ground oats, 200 lbs. bran, 200 
lbs. flaxseed meal, 200 lbs. gluten meal.

Figuring Varied Ration 
I can purchase the following feeds at 
the prices named in this locality. W ill 
you make a formula from this list that 
will represent a balanced ration for dairy 
feeding from which I may expect the best 
results at the lowest possible cost per ton. 
I will feed a liberal allowance of good 
clover mixed hay in addition to the 
amount of ration per head that you speci¬ 
fy : Cottonseed meal, 41 per cent, $50; 
liuseed meal, 34 per cent, $50; ground 
oats, pure, $42; bran, $34 ; gluten, 23 per 
cent, $45; wheat middlings, $41; oat 
feed, 7 1 /, per cent, $25; yellow hominy, 
10y 2 per cent, $39. J. b. w. 
Pennsylvania. 
At the prices quoted the three most de¬ 
sirable and economical sources of food 
nutrients would trace to the cottonseed 
meal, linseed meal and yellow hominy. 
Gluten feed analyzing 23 per cent of pro¬ 
tein at $45 per ton is slightly out of 
range if 34 per cent linseed meal or 41 
per cent cottonseed meal can be obtained 
for $50. I should prefer the ground oats 
to the oat feed, even at the difference in 
price quoted. Oat feed is high in fiber 
and low in digestibility; and where prob¬ 
ably oats and bran are used in the 
amount proposed in this mixture it is not 
desirable to utilize any low grade product 
which would yield as low as 7% per cent 
protein. The following combination of 
ingredients would provide a ration carry¬ 
ing 25 per cent of protein. Where this 
is fed in conjunction with a good grade of 
clover mixed hay it will be satisfactory 
for cows yielding approximately 30 lbs. 
of milk per day. The mixture follows: 
150 lbs. of cottonseed meal, 200 lbs. lin¬ 
seed meal. 50 lbs. ground oats, 150 lbs. 
wheat bran. 100 lbs. gluten feed, 50 lbs. 
wheat middlings, 300 lbs. yellow hominy. 
It would be possible to obtain all of 
the protein from cottonseed meal and 
linseed meal at slightly lower cost, but 
variety is an important item and is re¬ 
sponsible for the inclusion of the other 
concentrates. In Pennsylvania it fre¬ 
quently is possible to obtain buckwheat 
middlings at a price more attractive than 
that asked for wheat middlings, in which 
circumstances a liberal amount of this 
product should be incorporated in this 
mixture. Some buckwheat middlings 
might not only replace the wheat mid¬ 
dlings, but the gluten feed, if the price is 
attractive, might be replaced in whole or 
in part 'by this product.

Whipping Cream 
Someone asked, some time ago. if there 
is anything one can put in it to make 
cream whip before it is old enough to 
sour. I infer from her question that she 
wants whipped cream for the table. I 
find that a few drops of lemon juice will 
hasten the process, and have often used 
cream that was rather thin and‘gotten 
excellent results in a few minutes. 
I have also learned that the secret of 
a good sponge cake lies in the age of the 
eggs. Eggs two weeks old. kept in a cool 
place, are much better than fresh, while 
for a mayonaise dressing a strictly fresh 
egg. one taken right from the nest, will 
be found never to fail in bringing quick 
results. E. L. F.
