Minerals Needed 
Can you tell me what it is that my 
cattle want or need? I am feeding clover 
hay, silage and a ground feed of oats, 
peas and barley, and all the salt they 
want. Still they insist on gnawing or 
chewing boards. w. l. 
Try mixing some bonemeal with your 
salt, using equal parts of the bonemeal 
and common salt. Then put rock salt in 
boxes so that the cows can have access 
to it at their convenience. If you are 
feeding a poor grade of hay, or roughage 
which is produced on soil that is acid and 
sour, sprinkle over this as much as 5 lbs. 
of ground limestone for each 100 lbs. of 
hay. It is possible that a lack of min¬ 
eral matter is the cause for the actions 
complained of in your inquiry. If the 
cows pasture during the Summer on low 
marshy land that is sour and ill suited 
for such purposes, then it is equally im¬ 
portant that the mineral supplements, 
viz., ground limestone and bonemeal be 
provided during the pasture season. Some 
authorities go so far as to say that min¬ 
erals cannot be utilized or assimilated in 
the absence of some constituent which is 
contributed by green grass. 
You do not state the proportions of the 
different products which you are using, 
but I notice that you are not including 
in your combination any of the so-called 
protein concentrates. A mixture limited 
to oats, peas and barley would be defic¬ 
ient in protein, and it is essential that 
some constituent such as linseed meal, 
cottonseed meal or gluten meal be pro¬ 
vided, in order that these home-grown 
ingredients may be brought into balance. 
Even though there may be a generous 
amount of peas in your homegrown pro¬ 
duct it is not good judgment to rely en¬ 
tirely upon legumes of this sort to pro¬ 
vide all of the protein. I share the belief 
that a ration compounded as follows 
would increase your flow'of milk: Ground 
barley, 300 lbs.; ground oats and peas, 
300 lbs. ; cottonseed meal, 200 lbs.; bran, 
100 lbs.; linseed meal, 100 lbs. F. c. M.

Farmers Now Make 
More Money from Milk 
What they have learned is: 
1st—To get away from hand milking 
—saving time and labor—often 
saving the wages of one or two 
men. 
2nd—To distinguish between the 
Empire and all other milking 
machines. 
3rd—That the Empire is the only 
machine fully duplicating the 
action of the calf. Massaging 
the teat after each suck. 
Look how other men are getting 
real profits out of dairying. 
Edward W. Bennett, Cornwall 
Bridge, Conn. — “Once when we 
milked by hand the 25 cows drop¬ 
ped 25 quarts to a milking. Would 
never go back to hand milking. 
Would go out of business first.” 
E. G. Fenner, Little Falls, N.Y. 
—“Milk 16 cows. Get along with 
one less hand.” 
G. W. Spencer, Kelton, Pa.— 
“The Empire takes the place of 
about one man.” 
Frank T. Irwin, Rosemary 
Farms, Gibsonia, Pa.—“Empire 
more sanitary than hand milking. 
Saves one hand. Wouldn’t keep a 
dairy without an Empire.” 
Settle this now. It’s the Empire 
that makes the difference—more 
milk each time—more days of milk 
—cleaner milk—less wages to pay 
—less hard labor for the farmer— 
bigger profits. It is because the 
Empire is the one patented milker 
giving a perfect three-sided mas- 
sageof the teat from tip to udder. 
Duplicates the action of the calf. 
Nature’s way. The cow likes it— 
stands quieter, stays in better 
condition. 
Farmers everywhere are using 
Empires to turn dairy losses into 
dairy profits. Send for booklet, 
“How to Milk for Bigger Profits.”
