THIS YEAR’S PASTURE 
Supplemented With a Grain Ration Containing 
Diamond Corn Gluten Meal 
or 
Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed 
is going to make a feeding combination that will bring 
bigger milk checks to thousands of dairymen. 
Liberal grain feeding to cows on pasture sustains 
milk production at a good level after the grass begins to 
dry and shorten; prevents loss in weight and vigor; keeps 
heifers growing; does away with much of the danger of 
bloating; and allows better fertilization of pasture lands 
because of the right elements in the manure. It pays, 
all the way through. 
And it pays best when Buffalo or Diamond is in the 
ration, because these feeds supply the most milk-making 
nutrients per dollar.

Heifer Farms in Canada 
A Canadian farm paper tells of a plan 
worked out in some parts of Western 
Canada for raising heifer calves. It 
seems that some of the dairymen, close 
by the large cities, are on expensive 
land, and do not feel that they can afford 
to raise calves, feeding them milk enough 
to give them size and growth. Yet these 
same dairymen must have high quality 
cows in order to make their business pay. 
Some of them have evolved a plan about 
as follows: 
They keep the best bulls they can buy 
and breed from their finest cows. When 
the calves are two or three days old they 
are sent back into the country to farmers 
who are usually butter or cheesemakers. 
These outside farmers naturally have a 
good supply of milk and they can raise 
calves cheaply and to better adt antage 
than can be done near cities. The calves 
are sent out in bunches of three, and the 
heifers are kept until they are about 
ready to come into milk. Then the town 
dairyman has the privilege of first choice 
of one heifer out of every three, the out¬ 
side farmer taking the other two for his 
expenses in raising the heifers. The ad¬ 
vantage of the town man, of course, is 
that in this way he gets a very high 
quality heifer at little or no cost. The 
advantage to the outside man is that for 
the cost of raising three heifers he gets 
two of a very much finer breeding than he 
would otherwise have, as the city dairy¬ 
man must of course have the finest stock. 
It is said that this works fairly well in 
many parts of Western Canada. We do 
not know how it would operate on this 
side of the line, but we have believed for 
some time that one outcome of the future 
dairy business will be to have more and 
more big dairies worked near the cities. 
These will be simply milk farms where 
the cows will be milked out and a few of 
them will be bred. The milk cows sup¬ 
plying these nearby dairies will be pro¬ 
duced back among the hills, where land 
is cheaper and labor such that a good 
heifer can be produced cheaply. The fu¬ 
ture has iu store something of a division 
of the dairy business, with milk farms 
nearer the city and heifer farms farther 
back in the country. As is quite well 
known, it was the habit of the hotel- 
keepers at St. Augustine and other Flor¬ 
ida resorts to have herds of fresh cows 
driven down from Georgia into Florida 
at the opening of the Winter season. 
They are highly fed and milked out dur¬ 
ing the Winter, and then, as Summer 
comes, they are driven back into the high 
lands of Georgia and Western South Car¬ 
olina to he summered on pasture. 
Unprofitable Cow 
I have a Guernsey cow about six years 
old. She is a beauty. For the past two 
years, when fresh, for between one and 
two months she gives an excellent mess 
of milk. I think she produced as much as 
2*4 lbs. of butter a day. At the end of 
a month or six weeks she closes down, 
milk drops off over half, and continues 
dropping. I have tried various foods 
without results. I wish to keep the cow 
if she will produce the milk. The cow is 
expected to freshen during the first week 
in June. . She has not produced on an 
average three quarts of milk a day in 
three or four months. Is it wise to keep 
her longer? Will she not repeat? 
Dutchess Co., N. Y. j. h. f. 
Our advice would be for you to dispose 
of the cow in question after her flush 
flow of milk is over. The old saying, 
“Handsome is as handsome does,’’ applies 
particularly to dairy cows. If habitu¬ 
ally she reduces her flush flow of milk as 
the lactation period advances, nothing 
can be done to correct this condition. 
The feeding of a ration carrying more 
protein might be helpful, but unless the 
milk-making function is bred into the 
veins of a cow it cannot be forced into 
her digestive system by feeding. Forcing 
of feed, regardless of how carefully fed 
and balanced, will not modify her inher¬ 
ited tendencies. She could not be prof¬ 
itably maintained in a herd, and surely 
cannot be profitably maintained as a fam¬ 
ily cow. F. c. M.

Performance 
Recommends It 
Several yearg ago, the name John 
Deere alone sold this machine to thou¬ 
sands of grain-growing farmers. Today 
this name on a grain binder is backed by 
years of successful field performance— 
E erformance that has been beyond the 
igh expectations of the majority of 
users. You, too, can depend upon the 
John Deere to carry you through many 
harvest seasons with real satisfaction 
and profit. 
John Deere Grain Binder 
Strong Main Frame. Its strong, 
wide steel bars are widely overlapped 
and hot-riveted together. The main 
bearings are self-aligning. 
High Main Wheel, equipped with 
high gripping lugs and wide traction¬ 
giving tire, furnishes extra traction in 
wet fields. 
Extra Rigid Platform. There is 
practically no weaving or twisting of 
the platform on the John Deere even 
in extremely rough fields. The knife 
and canvas run true. ” 
Well-Built Knotter. AH wearing 
parts on the knotter are made of the 
highest grade of materials and are 
hardened to resist wear. 
The Quick-Turn Truck keeps the 
binder running straight, permits of 
square turns, takes off side draft from 
the horses, and because its axle is flexi¬ 
bly mounted, the wheels hold to the 
ground. 
See this better binder at your 
John Deere dealer’s.
