Quality as Well as Quantity 
“Your feed is the best feed on the market, as it pro¬ 
duces the richest milk and cream. We have tried other 
feeds but have not found them satisfactory. We have 
used Larro for over 7 years.” 
H. A. COUCH, NewMilford, Conn. 
“We have a herd of 15 Holstein cows which give 
nearly as much milk as some of our neighbors who are 
milking 25. My father says it is all in the feed. We 
feed Larro.” H. E. COLE, Epping, N. H. 
Good Condition and High Production 
“We have fed enough Larro to test it thorougly. We 
find it an excellent milk producer — at the same time 
keeping the heavy producer in good flesh.” 
O. O. BUSCHLEN, Bad Axe, Mich. 
“My cows are in the ‘pink’ of condition and produce 
heavily. Four of my cows have tipped the scale at 60 
lbs. of milk in one day; two of them have reached 65% 
and 64% lbs. — cows that were producing very little 
milk on all kinds of miscellaneous feeds. This is my 
result from feeding Larro and I shall continue to feed 
same as long as I have cows.” 
A. HERBERT, Westport, Mass. 
Larro for Long-Time Results 
“We started with one cow for our own family use and 
now we are keeping between 400 and 500 head on our 
farm, and the cows we started with and have been milk¬ 
ing for more than 12 years are yet profitable producers. 
We are glad that we commenced our dairying experience 
in feeding Larro and have never changed since our 
beginning with our family milk cow.” 
WHITE BELT DAIRY, Lemon City, Fla. 
“I have used Larro for over 9 years and there is 
nothing that will duplicate it. Larro is the* best milk 
feed there is. It does increase milk production.” 
JOSEPH NOWAK, Thompsonville, Conn. 
“We have fed Larro along with other dairy rations 
and it gives us better results than any we have tried. 
We also find the longer we keep the cows on Larro, the 
better they milk.” 
W. B. BRADSHAW, Cartersville, Ga. 
Where Other Feeds Had Failed 
“My first sack of Larro ruined my patronage for other 
feeds with the exception of Larro. From that one sack 
I got an increase in milk and as I kept on using Larro I 
got better results. I wouldn’t give one sack of Larro for 
any two sacks of other feed 1 have ever used.” 
E. H. BAKER, Ironton, Ohio. 
“We have been feeding Larro for several months in a 
test with several orher feeds, with results which are 
highly favorable to Larro.” 
PEYTON T. GISH, Mt. Sydney, Va. 
For Young Stock and Old 
“I have two cows milking 100 lbs. of milk on 10 lbs. 
of feed apiece a day. If I could get alfalfa, I think I 
could get 60 lbs. from these cows apiece on 12 lbs. of 
Larro. One of these cows is 17 years old.” 
C. C. ROfel-NSON, Annapolis, Md. 
“We think Larro feed is certainly great, and our 
whole herd looks fat and nice, and has produced lots-of 
milk this winter We have one cow 14 years old that 
gives 42 lbs. of milk a day. We feed the calves on 
Larro and like the feed.” 
L. E. WETMORE, Canfield, Ohio 
For Economy and Profit 
“I have thoroughly tried out practically all standard 
maxes of dairy feed and mixed many kinds myself, but 
have found nothing which will produce as much milk of 
fine quality—a regular amount—and keep the cows in 
fine condition like Larro does. It will give me at least 
15 % to 25 % more profit than anything else I have ever 
found. If I had used it exclusively for the past five 
years, I would have saved many thousands of dollars.’* 
LORING BROWN, Orlando, Fla 
“1 use Larro as ever and am satisfied with the results 
from it. I did try some cheaper feeds, but lost out in 
production and was out money in the long run.”

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Feeding Two Guernseys 
I have two Guernsey cows. As rough- 
age I have mixed clover hay, Red-top. 
mixed and Timothy. You will obUge me 
by giving me a good balanced ration. We 
have corn, cornstalks and wheat. I used 
to have the corn ground on the cob. 
New York. H. F. 
There is no advantage in feeding corn 
ground with the cob unless one has avail¬ 
able concentrates such as cottonseed 
meal, linseed meal and gluten meal, and 
desired the presence of the cobs to pro¬ 
vide bulk. Wheat bran is a much more 
desirable source of bulk, and beet pulp 
or buckwheat bran can be used and is 
superior to corncobs. Ground wheat can 
be used to supplement cornmeal or to re¬ 
place cornmeal if the present prices ob¬ 
tain. Manifestly these two products are 
out of range. This is largely due to the 
fact that the corn crop is in the making 
and the wheat crop is already made. With 
corn three or four weeks behind season 
there is great danger of frost creeping in 
and cutting down the crop to a 50 per 
cent basis. This is why September corn, 
as well as Christmas and May corn, has 
had a most unusual rise in price during 
the past three or four months. The Corn 
Belt farmer can well afford to feed wheat 
as well as corn, for there is every in¬ 
dication that there will be a shortage of 
corn even though frost stays away long¬ 
er than ordinarily. 
Red-top hay and Timothy hay are poor 
roughages for Guernsey cows. They sat¬ 
isfy but they do not contribute very 
much in the way of food nutrients. For 
your conditions, assuming that you have 
wheat and corn, I should suggest the 
following combination: Two parts of 
ground wheat, two parts of ground corn, 
two parts of wheat bran, one part of 
linseed meal, one part of cottonseed meal, 
one part of gluten feed and one part of 
wheat bran. This may seem a rather 
extended variety of ingredients, but, if 
wheat is included in the i-ation, it does 
not mean that wheat bran can be ex¬ 
cluded ; rather this ingredient is essential 
in order that bulk may be contributed. 
Feed one pound of this mixture for 
each 3V 2 pounds of milk produced per 
day, making sure that the cow has ac¬ 
cess to all the roughage which she will 
clean up. If you can mix some ground 
limestone with your salt and add some 
bone meal to the mixture, and sprinkle 
this over the hay, or let it be available 
in a protected box. It will make up for 
the deficiency in mineral matter which 
prevails when poor roughage is fed. 
Using Corn and Cob Meal 
I wish to know what you would con- 
consider the best feed for grade Guernsey 
cows, taking into consideration the pres¬ 
ent prices, time of year, and feed which 
the writer has on hand—corn that we 
have ground at the mill as corn and cob 
meal. Our pasture is short, and the cows 
are not in quite as good condition as we 
desire them to be, therefore, desire to put 
flesh on them and expect to obtain rea¬ 
sonable amount of milk. F. H. M. 
Pennsylvania. 
There are certain ingredients available 
for feeding dairy cows which are invari¬ 
ably used by our most successful dairy¬ 
men, regardless of price and irrespective 
of the fact that oftentimes they are out 
of range in price. Bran and linseed meal, 
corn or hominy meal are included in this 
group. Especially does this rule apply 
to Winter feeding, and I can scarcely 
think of a ration safe to feed which 
would eliminate a certain amount of 
these products even though the price 
might be unusually high. It is easy to 
figure out on paper a ration which ap¬ 
pears to be economical but the value of 
combinations can be determined only by 
the cow herself. So if your pasture is 
short and your cows are thin in flesh it 
is necessary that a ration high in car¬ 
bohydrate and high in potency be fed. 
Corn and eob meal has attained a new 
value owing to crop conditions, for re¬ 
ports indicate a crop shortage. Through¬ 
out the Corn Belt the corn planting sea¬ 
son was delayed; in many instances re¬ 
plantings had to be made, and as a result 
weedy fields and a poor stand of corn 
is contended with. Furthermore a season
