Eli  Tennant  sjxys  “the  Burrell  Milks  My  Cows  Clean” 
MR.  TENNANT  is  one  of  the  many  Burrell  users 
in  Ontario.  What  he  says  after  nine  years’  experi¬ 
ence  with  the  Burrell  Milker  is  an  indication  of 
what  the  Burrell  can  do  for  you.  Read  what  he  says : 
“  I  am  at  present  [August  19,  1922]  milking  54  cows, 
using  four  double  units,  and  I  have  frequently 
milked  my  entire  herd  alone.  The  Burrell  Milkers 
are  so  easy  to  operate  and  so  thorough  in  their 
work  that  the  old  time  drudgery  of  milking  by  hand 
is  now  entirely  eliminated. 
“  When  I  purchased  the  milker  I  looked  about  for 
a  real  milker — one  that  would  milk  cows  clean  year 
in  and  year  out,  as  1  would  not  be  bothered  with 
a  milker  that  was  only  capable  of  getting  a  portion 
of  the  milk  and  the  balance  to  be  secured  by  hand. 
The  Burrell  milks  my  cows  clean,  and  if  1  had  to 
part  with  it  I  would  be  obliged  to  sell  our  cows,  as 
I  could  not  think  of  going  back  to  hand  milking. 
“I  am  now  54  years  of  age,  and  I  can  easily  milk 
my  entire  herd  of  54  cows  alone.  I  can  do  the 
work  easily  and  thoroughly,  which  I  think  is  proof 
positive  of  the  economy  of  machine  milking,  as  I 
would  like  to  see  the  man  at  my  age  who  would  care 
to  tackle  the  job  of  milking  54  cows  alone  by 
hand.  My  milkers  have  given  excellent  service. 
“The  Burrell  machines  have  done  all  and  more  than 
claimed  for  them,  and  in  my  judgment  they  are  the 
best  milking  machines  on  the  market  today.” 
Remember,  the  Burrell  has  been  continuously  on  the  American  market  longer  than  any  other 
power  milking  machine.  Unless  you  know  the  Burrell,  you  do  not  know  the  full  worth 
to  you  of  a  milking  machine.  Send  for  catalog  —  no  obligation.  Please  address  Dep’t  20.

International  Special  Dairy  Molasses  Feed 
as  compared  to  using  wheat  feeds  or  ground  grains.  We  guarantee  this  in¬ 
crease  has  been  secured  in  hundreds  of  actual  tests.  INTERNATIONAL 
SPECIAL  DAIRY  MOLASSES  FEED  contains  protein,  molasses  and  fat 
combined  in  proper  proportions  to  provide  the  necessary  nutrients  and  energy 
required  for  maximum  milk  production.  Both  protein  and  molasses  produce 
milk.  Special  Dairy  contains  both.  This  great  feed  is  digestible  and  palatable 
and  is  skillfully  processed  and  mixed,  thus  insuring  a  big  extra  gain  in  milk. 
INTERNATIONAL 
Is  Breaking  All  Records! 
The  demand  for  INTERNATIONAL  SPECIAL  DAIRY 
MOLASSES  FEED  is  stronger  than  ever.  More  farmers 
are  feeding  INTERNATIONAL  SPECIAL  DAIRY 
MOLASSES  FEED  than  ever  before.  Y ear  after  year  the 
demand  has  steadily  grown.  1922  shipments  broke  all  of 
our  records— and  the  demand  is  getting  heavier. 
This  success  can  mean  but  one  thing  to  you,  Mr. 
Farmer  —  INTERNATION AL  SPECIAL  DAIRY 
MOLASSES  FEED  is  the  best  feed  on  the  market— best 
for  your  cows — best  for  your  pocketbook.  Don’t  be  mis¬

Live  Stock  Questions 
Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Feeding  Jersey  Calf 
Will  you  toll  me  the  proper  grain  mix¬ 
ture  for  a  Jersey  calf  six  weeks  old  and 
how  much  skim-milk.  o.  E. 
New  York. 
I  should  limit  the  skim-milk  fed  to  the 
calf  six  weeks  old  to  eight  quarts  a  day 
and.  being  unable  to  secure  some  one  of 
the  popular  brands  of  ready  mixed  calf 
feeds,  should  feed  all  of  the  following 
mixture  that  the  calf  would  clean  up 
with  relish  :  Three  parts  of  ground  oats, 
two  parts  of  wheat  bran,  one  part  of 
red  dog  flour,  one  of  linseed  meal,  and 
one  of  cornmeal.  By  tempting  the  calf 
after  drinking  with  some  of  this  grain, 
and  allowing  it  free  access  to  choice 
clover  or  Alfalfa  hay  it  will  soon  tak^  to 
eating  them  and  will  go  on  and  gain  in 
a  satisfactory  manner.  The  amount  of 
skim-milk  can  be  gradually  increased  un¬ 
til  the  calf  is  getting  as  much  as  12 
quarts.  This  seems  to  be  about  the  max¬ 
imum  amount  that  a  calf  can  use  ad¬ 
vantageously. 
Handling  Family  Cow 
H  ill  you  advise  how  1  should  feed  my 
cow?  "Three  months  ago  she  gave  from 
38  to  20  quarts  of  milk  per  day.  Now 
she  only  gives  two  to  three.  I  feed  her 
corn,  cottonseed  meal  and  cornstalks. 
She  is  a  high  grade  Guernsey  cow. 
M.  B. 
If  your  family  cow  is  to  freshen  in  May 
you  should  arrange  to  have  her  go  dry 
and  enjoy  a  rest  period  during  March 
and  April.  The  reason  why  she  has  de¬ 
creased  her  flow  of  milk  is  probably  on 
account  of  her  period  of  gestation  ;  yet  if 
the  grain  ration  that  you  are  feeding  he 
limited  to  cornmeal,  cottonseed  meal  and 
cornstalks,  you  could  not  expect  maximum 
production.  More  variety  and  more  suc¬ 
culence  and  a  roughage  of  higher  quality 
should  be  substituted.  Secure  some  Al¬ 
falfa  or  clover  hay  and  feed  her  during 
the  next  month  on  a  ration  resulting  from 
combining  25  lbs.  of  cornmeal,  20  lbs. 
ground  oat.s,  20  lbs.  bran,  15  lbs.  linseed 
meal,  15  lbs.  gluten  feed.  This  combina¬ 
tion  can  be  continued  during  her  dry 
period,  when  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  have  her  gain  in  weight  and  flesh,  and 
thus  be  in  good  condition  when  she  fresh¬ 
ens  again  in  May. 
After  the  inflammation  lias  all  disap¬ 
peared  from  the  udder,  whicli  will  he  a 
couple  of  weeks  after  calving,  the  grain 
ration  can  he  increased,  and  20  lbs.  of 
cottonseed  meal  added  to  the  mixture. 
Just  previous  to  calving,  and  following 
this  event,  restrict  her  ration  to.  equal 
parts  of  oats  and  bran.  Secure,  if  pos¬ 
sible,  some  second-cut  Alfalfa  hay.  <>r 
some  clover  that  is  of  good  color  and 
nicely  cured. 
Various  Feeding  Questions 
I  am  feeding  cows  25  lbs  of  silage  a 
dav  in  two  feedings  and  all  the  hay  they 
will  eat.  from  12  to  15  lbs  at  one  feeding. 
I  give  this  amount  twice  a  day.  Some 
sav  I  am  giving  too  much  bay.  I  am 
feeding  1  lb.  of  grain  for  every  •>  lbs.  ot 
milk,  but  do  not  get  very  satisfactory  re¬ 
sults.  The  hav  is  (oats  cut  in  the  milk  I 
and  Red-top.  I  am  feeding  200  lbs.  bran. 
100  lbs.  cornmeal.  100  lbs.  ground  oats, 
100  lbs.  cottonseed  ?>0  per  cent.  100  lbs 
oilmeal.  100  lbs.  gluten.  Is  this  a  good 
ration  for  above  roughage?  I  am  told 
I  do  not  have  to  feed  oilmeal  with  silage, 
but  I  think  it  keeps  the  cows  in  better 
condition.  Are  red  dog  middlings  good 
to  add  to  a  dairy  ration?  Could  I  feed  my 
horses  on  the  same  feed  given  my  dry 
cows,  one  bran,  one  ground  oats,  one  corn¬ 
meal.  one  oilmeal?  If  not  what  ground 
feed  is  the  best  for  them?  E.  p.  JR.  * 
Connecticut. 
The  ration  that  you  are  feeding  yields 
about  20  per  cent  of  protein,  and  while 
it,  is  true  that  you  are  feeding  rather 
extravagantly  of  roughage,  cows  schould 
be  given  all  of  this  material  that  they 
will  consume  with  relish.  I  would  sug¬ 
gest  the  addition  of  50  lbs.  of  linseed 
meal  and  would  double  the  amount  of 
gluten  meal  and  corn  in  your  combina¬ 
tion.  This  will  increase  your  protein  to 
22  per  cent,  and  the  added  linseed  meal 
is  suggested  on  account  of  the  relatively 
large  amount  of  roughage  that  the  cows 
are  consuming.  It  might  be  the  part  of 
wisdom  to  supplement  your  silage  with 
moistened  beet  pulp.  Realizing,  how¬ 
ever.  that  this  feed  is  unusually  high  in 
cost  in  proportion  to  the  amount  of  di¬ 
gestible  nutrients  that  it  contributes,  one 
must  of  necessity  go  easy  on  the  amount 
fed.  Beet  pulp  does  increase  the  palat- 
ability  and  digestibility  of  the  other  in¬ 
gredients,  and  has  a  value  other  than  that 
indicated  by  its  chemical  comr  'sition. 
Since  you  are  feeding  200  lbs.  of  wheat 
bran.  I  should  not  suggest  the  use  of  red 
dog  flour,  for  cornmeal  will  supply  your 
carbohydrates  with  more  economy. 
Concerning  vour  suggestion  that  horses 
should  be  fed  the  same  as  your  dry  cows, 
namely,  equal  parts  of  cornmeal,  oats, 
bran  and  linseed  meal.  I  would  say  that 
it  is  not  necessary  to  feed  horses  as  much 
as  25  per  cent  of  linseed  meal.  A  better 
combination  would  be  five  parts  of  oats 
three  parts  of  bran,  two  parts  of  cracke 
corn  and  one  part  of  linseed  meal.  It 
the  horses  are  doing  regular  work,  ttm 
ration  might  be  further  simplified,  using 
a  combination  of  straight  corn  and  oats.
