Kodak on the Farm 
With spring plowing done and the 
team in pasture for a well-earned, Sun¬ 
day’s rest, there’s a chance for a Kodak 
picture. 
Story-telling pictures like this are 
plenty on the farm—you’ll always be 
glad you have them. And for practical 
use in advertising and selling your cattle, 
horses, hogs, pictures are of obvious worth. 
It’s all easy, and fun, the Kodak way.

Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Grain with Barley 
I am feeding my cows a mixture of 
about 750 lb.s. of heavy ground barley, 
oats and peas, 100 lbs. cottonseed meai 
(43 per cent), 100 lbs. cornmeal, 200 lbs. 
gluten feed. Could I improve this mix¬ 
ture? I can get any kind of feed. The 
cows are getting peavine silage once a 
day and corn silage once a day and good 
clover, Alsike, Alfalfa and Timothy hay 
twice a day. c. E. P. 
New York. 
Assuming that the mixture of ground 
barley, oats and peas will carry as much 
as 12 per cent of protein, a mixture such 
as you have been feeding would not car¬ 
ry more than 17 per cent of protein, so 
that the addition of 150 lbs. of linseed 
meal and 100 lbs. of cottonseed meal 
would be necessary to bring this up to a 
20 per cent basis. The combination that 
you have been using will be well suited 
for feeding cows during the Summer 
when they are out on pasture, but it 
would not give you the desired results 
when they are housed and fed Timothy 
hay as a roughage. The more clover, Al¬ 
sike or Alfalfa hay that you can get them 
to eat the better, and this will reduce 
your grain cost to a great extent. I take 
it, however, that the 750 lbs. of the mix¬ 
ture will not carry as much as 22 per 
cent of protein, and of course that will 
not suffice unless there is relatively a 
large proportion of peas. 
Tankage for Pigs 
I would like to know something about 
feeding tankage to small pigs. How much 
would you advise to feed to start young 
pigs? ' M. D. c. 
New York. 
Digester tankage is by far the most 
economical source of protein available 
for feeding pigs. Previous to weaning it 
is well to induce the young pigs to take 
some feed, and in this connection a com¬ 
bination of seven parts of corn, two parts 
of middlings and one part of tankage 
makes a good mixture. If one has ground 
oats and can sieve out the oatmeal from 
the hulls, then some of this product can 
be incorporated to replace either a part 
of the corn or a part of the middlings. 
Ground oats, however, are ill suited for 
use in feeding very young pigs. 
The grade of digester tankage which is 
usually the most economical to buy is 
that quality carrying 60 per cent of pro¬ 
tein. This carries about 50 per cent of 
blood meal, and the balance of the tank¬ 
age ingredients is rich in mineral matter, 
which is necessary for young animals of 
this type. Ten per cent of digester tank¬ 
age is the maximum amount to feed pigs 
of any age. As the pigs increase in age 
and weight, the tankage may he reduced, 
so that when the animals weigh 125 lbs. 
a ration carrying only corn with 5 per 
cent of tankage aided is sufficient. The 
tankage may be mixed with the dry feed 
and the whole batch moistened previous 
to feeding; or, if you have shelled corn 
and tankage, the tankage may be diluted 
with water and fed in the form of a thin 
slop. There is no danger that hog chol¬ 
era may be introduced by feeding tank¬ 
age, for sterilization of all the products 
is the first step iu putting out an animal 
product of this sort. 
Ration with Pasture 
N O matter what condition your silo is in 
—you can have it rebuilt into a famous 
Craine—and get a silo that will last. 
Then you are thru with repair or replace¬ 
ment costs for many years longer than the 
life of any brand new iron-hooped stave 
silo! In addition you get positive assur¬ 
ance of better kept silage, and no more 
time-wasting hoops to keep tightened. The 
rebuilding cost is usually only 
Cost of a New Silo 
Staves from your present silo form the new Inside wall. Over 
this goes waterproof,frost-stopping Silafelt. Then,outside, the 
continuous Crainelox Spiral Hooping binds the whole silo, 
tight as a drum, from top to bottom. That’s what gives it the 
I exceptional, giant strength that means longer life, less repairs, 
real economy in the end.

I am selling cream. What is best feed 
for grade Holsteine? I am feeding a good 
quality hay. G. M. 
Ulster Co., N. Y. 
Assuming that your cows are on pas¬ 
ture. the following grain ration is recom¬ 
mended for Holstein cows of average pro¬ 
duction : 150 lbs. of cottonseed meal; 150 
lbs. gluten meal; 300 lbs. hominy meal; 
260 lbs. ground oats; 100 lbs. bran. 
If the cows give over 40 lbs. of milk 
per day, increase the gluten meal to 200 
lbs. and eliminate half the bran. If the 
pasture is luxuriant and the ration not 
too concentrated, you can eliminate all 
of the bran for the cows in milk, but I 
should continue its use for the dry cows. 
It is not necessary to feed as much pro¬ 
tein to the dry cows as to the cows in 
milk, hence a mixture of 300 lbs. of corn, 
300 lbs. oats, 100 lbs. linseed and 100 lbs. 
bran would be best suited for the dry 
co we. 
UNADILLA SILOS 
Read Silo Character 
As you do a man’s 
Y OU read a man’s character in 
his face. Look to the same fea¬ 
tures on a silo to judge its qualities. 
In the front of the Unadilla Silo, 
you can see many practical, valuable 
advantages that speak of the 
thoroughness, care and thought 
with which every detail of the 
whole silo is worked out. 
Its continuous opening; water¬ 
tight, air-tight, non-sticking doors; 
wide, safe, easy combination door 
fasteners and ladder; door front 
assembled at the factory; hoop ends 
adjustable from ladder, these and 
many other features of the front of 
a Unadilla are some indication of 
the bigger silo value the Unadilla 
gives you for every dollar. 
Send for catalog. You’ll find it full of 
silo information you shouldn’t miss.
