A Remarkable 
Mower 
You will never know real 
mower satisfaction until you 
get up on the seat of the John 
Deere High-Lift Mower, put 
it in gear, and start it cutting. 
Its 21-point clutch puts action into 
the knife instantly. The special ar¬ 
rangement of the simple three-piece 
driving gears supplies an abundance of 
even, smooth power to the accurately- 
fitted knife—its great cutting power and 
the ease with which the horses take it 
through the heaviest hay will appeal to 
you. 
John Deere 
High-Lift Mower 
But you’ll not fully appreciate the 
John Deere until you lift the bar with 
the foot lift to pass over boulders, 
stumps, etc., and to turn at the corners. 
It’s really boy’s play to operate the 
John Deere. ■ 
When unusual obstructions require 
an extra high lift, the foot and hand 
lift combined gives you this with prac¬ 
tically the same ease of handling as the 
foot lift only. 
When repairing or adjusting time 
comes after hard service, just ordinary 
tools are required. No need for a black¬ 
smith shop. 
Don’t buy a mower until you see 
the John Deere with the high easy 
lift at your John Deere dealer’s.

Ration Without Silage 
What is the best ration to feed cows? 
I only have corn fodder to feed them. 
How would 300 lbs of oats and 150 of 
corn and cob ground together mixed with 
150 lbs. of cottonseed and 150 lbs of 
gluten meal do, giving each cow one 
pound to every three pounds of milk, add¬ 
ing one-half gallon of bran to each cow 
twice a day ? I wish to know about seed¬ 
ing a field in Alfalfa in the Spring. There 
are about two acres in the field which 
lies along the creek which I thought it 
would make a good field for Alfalfa as it. 
will not freeze out for water never stand 
on the field. The field has always been 
in corn for the last 30 years or more, 
and alway brought a good crop until 
last Fall it did not do very good. The 
corn got tall as any corn but half of it 
did not have any ears. I shall be short 
of pasture next Summer and wanted to 
know if I could plant some Soy beans in 
the Spring and pasture them or would 
Millet or Essex rape be better? m. f. 
Ohio. 
Soy beans are not suitable for pasture 
for dairy cows. Oats and Canada field 
peas would be better for this purpose, 
althought it is difficult indeed to sow and 
plant any crop in the early Spring that 
can be pastured the same season advan¬ 
tageously. Generally the ground is so 
soft as a result of the preparation and 
cultivation of the seed bed that when the 
animals work over the newly seeded 
area they destroy a great many plants 
and thus make pasture conditions un¬ 
favorable. 
You have the correct idea concerning 
Alfalfa. Sandy soil is not ideal for Al¬ 
falfa, but the mere fact that the ground 
has grown good corn and that water does 
not stand on this area are two points in 
its favor. Land that water-soaks dur¬ 
ing the growing season or that freezes as 
a result of water standing on it during 
Winter is ill-suited for the production of 
Alfalfa. Actually Alfalfa must have dry 
feet although there must be plenty of 
moisture available. I am inclined to 
think that Alsike clover and a combina¬ 
tion of the hardier grasses would be bet¬ 
ter under the circumstances than the Al¬ 
falfa. 
Concerning a suitable ration for your 
Holstein cows I would suggest the follow¬ 
ing: 250 lbs. corn and eob meal, 150 lbs. 
oats, 150 lbs. linseed meal, 150 lbs. cot¬ 
tonseed meal, 150 lbs. gluten meal, 150 
lbs. bran. Feed one pound of this mix¬ 
ture for each three pounds of milk pro¬ 
duced per day and add the same amount 
of beet pulp which you are now feeding. 
If you have silage it is not necessary for 
you to get the beet pulp. 
It is not a good plan to keep any one 
field growing corn continuously for 30 
years. Rotation of crops is essential, not 
only that the fertility of the soil may be 
properly maintained but in order that the 
crops produced may help one another in 
releasing plant food for growth and de¬ 
velopment. 
It seems to me that, rather than at¬ 
tempt to pasture your oats and peas it 
might be desirable to grow some of the 
oats and Canada field peas as a soiling 
crop. You can go in with a mowing ma¬ 
chine and cut enough cats to provide for¬ 
age for your dairy cows, and actually 
you can get a great deal more feed per 
acre in this way than in attempting to 
pasture oats and peas themselves. 
Dwarf Essex rape is not a satisfactory 
feed for cows. It is very well for pigs 
but cattle do not relish this product. 
Millet could be sowed and used for hay, 
but this provides a relatively poor grade 
of roughage.

Refined By a World 
of Experience 
In eighty-two years of world wide operation, 
more than 100,000 Case threshers have han¬ 
dled every threshable seed and grain grown, 
under every conceivable condition. This 
wealth of practical experience has created 
many exclusive Case values and advantages, 
among which are: 
Unusually large capacity for power required 
Fast, clean threshing under widely varying 
conditions 
Extreme simplicity, with remarkable ease of 
operation and adjustment 
Great strength and rigidity, insuring unfailing 
dependability 
Durability far beyond the average 
Twenty years ago this Company pioneered the way to 
steel construction of threshers. Most of these first 
steel machines are still in use and good for many more 
years. No steel thresher except the Case has had 
twenty years of improvement and refinement. No 
other has handled so many difficult jobs of threshing or 
better proved its dependability under all conditions. 
This is your assurance of complete satisfaction when 
you own and use a Case thresher. A new booklet, 
“Profit By Better Threshing,” is now ready for mailing.
