These figures are taken from the record books of 
Inslee Bros., Windy Brow Farm, Newton, New Jersey. 
The first amount is exactly what the Inslee Brothers 
received for 112,644 lbs. of milk produced by their 
Grade Cow No. 14 over a period of 10 years. The 
second amount represents the cost of feeding this one 
cow. The third is what cow No. 14 made for the 
Inslee Brothers over the cost of feeding. 
Ten years ago this Holstein, on her first lactation, 
was being fed 
Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed 
as the protein basis of her grain ration. Today she is 
still being fed BUFFALO. Throughout this ten-year 
period BUFFALO formed the bulk of her ration’s pro¬ 
tein at practically all times. 
T HE dairyman who wants heavy and consistent 
production of milk over long stretches of time 
without injuring in the least the health of his cows, 
should keep this 10-year record in mind. The cow 
who made it is an ordinary, good grade cow, such 
as you have in your own herd. What she has done 
your cows can do on the same good feeding. 
Start today to feed BUFFALO in your ration— a 
pound of it to 23^ lbs. of other feeds. Keep records 
of milk receipts and feed bills. In about six months 
the figures will have a story for you that will tie you 
up to BUFFALO for life.

Figuring Economical 
Ration 
I have seven grade cows in pasture. I 
wish you would give me a cow ration that 
would produce the most milk and the 
cheapest, for I am buying all my feed. 
New York. c. R. 
It is difficult to suggest the most 
economical ration to feed since there is 
such a divergence in the daily quotations 
and price of feeding stuffs. Carbohydrate 
feeds have attained a new level. Corn 
and hominy meal and gluten feed have 
been economical sources of digestible 
nutrients; but with corn rated at more 
than a dollar a bushel it is only natural 
that the by-products from corn should 
establish new price levels. The protein 
feeds in reality are more attractive as a 
buy than the carbohydrate feeds; but 
there is a limit to the amount of protein 
that can he intelligently and safely fed. 
Where the pasture is luxuriant, and 
the rainy season has contributed to this 
condition, a simple grain ration will 
best serve under the circumstances. A 
combination of: Three parts of cornmeal; 
three parts of ground wheat or barley; 
two parts of wheat bran; two parts of 
cottonseed meal; two parts of gluten is 
proposed. 
If you have buckwheat middlings then 
this may replace some of the corn. It is 
unusual in the feeding of live stock to 
have to consider the release and replac¬ 
ing of corn in a mixture; but where 
wheat and corn approach the same level 
in price, wheat is by all odds the cheap¬ 
est source of carbohydrate. The high 
price of grain naturally establishes new 
levels for mixed feeds and invite the use 
of lower grade materials which have bulk 
and attractiveness but do not contribute 
the necessary amount of nutriment for 
the animals. With oats selling around 
50 or 60 cents a bushel the manufac¬ 
turers of cereals will want to use the 
oat hulls and sweepings most generously 
and there is likely to be a flood of the 
low grade mixed feeds on the market 
during the coming months. Of course the 
purchase of ingredients of this character 
shows podr judgment, and the dairyman 
who insists upon these practices will suf¬ 
fer the consequences. There never was 
a time in the feeding of dairy cattle when 
more attention should be given to the 
selection of rations and the choosing of 
ingredients which will contribute a pound 
of digestive nutrients most economically. 
Grain With Legume Crops 
Will you please let me know the proper 
ingredients for six purebred Guernsey 
cows? I have plenty of pasture. Alfalfa, 
peavine hay. plenty of corn and Soy beans 
to grind up for food. Please let me know 
what other ingredients I should use to 
make a balanced ration. s. w, H. 
' Virginia. 
You are especially fortunate in having 
available the legumes for roughage. The 
production of these crops indicates good 
farming. Not only are you able to main¬ 
tain the fertility of the soil but you are 
able to provide a roughage for .your 
Guernsey cows which will enable them to 
produce abundantly and economically. 
It is surprising to observe the increased 
acreage of Soy beans. Throughout the 
South the feeding and fertility value of 
Soy beans and cow peas have been recog¬ 
nized and appreciated, but recently this 
new crop has journeyed into the Corn 
Belt and through the Northwest, and 
demonstrations everywhere are serving to 
extend the plantings of this legume. This, 
too, is in spite of the fact that the produc¬ 
tion in bushels or the return in dollars 
and cents is more or less restricted unless 
the Soy beans can be sold to concerns 
which will extract the oil and market the 
residue for feeding purposes. Straight- 
Soy-bean meal is an excellent supplement 
to corn and other carbohydrate feeds 
supplying protein of good quality, but it 
never can be relied upon to supply the 
entire amount of protein essential for 
balanced rations. With plenty of pasture, 
Alfalfa hay and peavine hay to feed your 
Guernseys all that they will consume, and 
with corn and Soy beans as a basis for
