The  above  statement  is  made  in  compliance  with 
the  requirements  of  state  laws;  not  as  a  guide  to  feed¬ 
ing.  In  feeding  it  is  the  amount  and  balance  of 
digestible  nutrients  and  how  they  supplement  those 
in  the  roughage  that  determines  the  feeding  value.  A 
feed  may  be  high  in  crude  analysis  and  very  low  in 
feeding  value.  There  is  more  danger  and  loss  in  feed¬ 
ing  too  much  protein  than  in  feeding  too  little.  Heat 
and  energy  food  is  as  necessary  as  protein.  Even  the 
amount  of  total  nutrient*  may  be  misleading,  for 
the  balance  of  nutrients  is  as  necessary  as  the  total 
amount. 
DIGESTIBLE  ANALYSIS 
This  feed  contains  20  Per  Cent  Digeatibla 
Protein  and  the  necessary  amount  of  Heat  and  Energy 
Food,  rightly  proportioned  to  form  a  balanced  ration

SERVICE 
On  every  bag  of  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feed  is  a  tag  which  gives  the  state¬ 
ment  required  by  law  and  a  complete  feeding  table  directing  the 
user  how  to  feed  for  the  best  results. 
The  amount  of  feed  and  roughage  specified  in  the  table  will  furnish 
the  necessary  amount  of  protein  and  heat  and  energy  food  to  produce 
the  most  milk  at  the  lowest  cost  and  keep  the  cows  in  good  condition. 
The  table  simplifies  the  problem  of  meeting  the  nutritive  require¬ 
ment  of  individual  cows. 
This  plan  of  feeding  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds  will  maintain  a  nutri¬ 
tive  standard  which  has  been  proven  correct. 
The  use  of  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds  in  accordance  with  the  feeding 
tables  has  never  failed  to  produce  milk  at  the  lowest  cost  and  keep 
the  cows  in  good  condition. 
This  continued  use  of  TI-O-GA  Dairy  Feeds  will  make  your  cows 
more  persistent  milkers  and  extend  their  profitable  production  for  a 
greater  number  of  years.

Analysis  of  a  Feed  Mixture 
I  wish  to  know  the  analysis  of  the 
following  material :  100  lbs.  corn  and 
oats,  300  lbs.  cornmeal,  200  lbs.  bran, 
200  lbs.  gluten,  100  lbs,  cottonseed  meal, 
41  per  cent;  100  lbs.  oilmeal  (old  pro¬ 
cess).  In  what  way  do  you  think  this  is 
deficient?  s.  b. 
New  York. 
Assuming  that  the  100  lbs.  of  mixed 
feed  is  largely  oats  and  that  your  linseed 
meal  and  gluten  meal  are  of  standard 
analysis,  the  combination  proposed  will 
yield  17.9  per  cent  of  digestible  protein, 
61.8  of  digestible  carbohydrates  and  6  of 
fat.  The  only  criticism  of  this  ration  is 
that  it  is  rather  concentrated  and  lacking 
in  bulk.  Hence  the  addition  of  some 
brewer’s  grains  would  probably  induce 
more  complete  mastication.  It  carries  an 
ample  amount  of  protein,  and  if  the  pro¬ 
ducts  themselves  are  clean  and  sweet 
your  cows  ought  to  respond  to  its  use. 
IVe  are  assuming  that  you  have  a  good 
grade  of  roughage  and  some  succulence 
to  support  this  grain  ration.  The  use 
of  moistened  beet  pulp,  since  the  ration 
itself  is  so  concentrated,  would  be  highly 
desirable. 
Wood  or  Tile  Silo 
Which  kind  of  silo  would  you  advise 
buying,  one  made  of  wood  or  one  made 
of  hollow  tile.  Money  is  not  to  be  con¬ 
sidered  ;  neither  is  the  matter  of  burning, 
shrinking,  painting  and  other  disadvan¬ 
tages  of  wood.  What  the  questioner  is 
trying  to  get  at  is:  Which  will  make  the 
best  silage,  freeze  first,  mold  first,  etc. ; 
in  other  words,  which  will  keep  the  silage 
in  the  best  shape?  l.  r.  m. 
Ventnor,  N.  J. 
It  is  generally  conceded  that  hollow  tile 
or  naeto  brick  is  the  best  material  to  use 
in  silo  construction.  They  are  more  ser¬ 
viceable  than  the  wooden  silo,  and  are  far 
more  satisfactory  than  straight  cement 
silos.  The  air  space  provided  by  the  tile 
not  only  prevents  freezing,  but  safeguards 
the  keeping  qualities  of  the  ensiled  mass. 
In  addition  to  their  durability,  their  up¬ 
keep  is  considerably  less  than  that  in¬ 
volved  in  wooden  silos,  and  they  are 
equally  as  permanent  as  the  so-called 
cement  or  brick  silos.  Therefore,  it  seems 
wise  to  suggest  that  the  proposed  silo  be 
constructed  of  some  one  of  the  standard 
grades  of  hollow  or  glazed  tile. 
Trouble  With  Molasses  Feed 
We  are  mixing  a  molasses  feed,  using 
10  per  cent  blackstrap  molasses.  After 
a  short  time  the  feed  cakes  and  becomes 
gummy  under  pressure,  very  much  as  if 
glucose  was  in  the  mixture.  This  con¬ 
dition  was  not  noticeable  until  this  year, 
and  we  have  a  vague  idea  that  this  may 
be  caused  by  a  difference  in  the  quality 
of  the  blackstrap.  a.  l.  l. 
New  York. 
There  are  probably  more  methods  of 
drying  feeds  mixed  with  molasses  than 
prevail  in  the  compounding  of  any  other 
group  of  mixed  feeds.  In  fact,  when 
molasses  was  introduced  as  a  component 
part  of  compounded  feeds  there  was 
much  speculation  as  to  how  to  overcome 
the  question  of  heating,  packing,  fermen¬ 
tation  and  actual  combustion.  Two  or 
three  of  the  most  common  practices  seem 
to  be  the  aeration  of  the  feed  after  the 
molasses  has  been  mixed  with  the  basic 
ration.  This  can  be  done  with  fans  that 
blow  air  through  the  feed,  or  it  can  be 
accomplished  by  means  of  blo»ving  the 
mixed  feed  itself  through  the  atmosphere 
for  a  considerable  distance,  ov  until  the 
molasses  lias  hardened,  as  is  the  case 
with  “Cracker  Jacks.” 
Where  there  are  no  facilities  for  blow¬ 
ing  or  aerating  the  feed  in  this  manner 
some  manufacturers  spread  out  the  feed 
on  the  floor  and  let  the  molasses  congeal 
in  this  manner.  Very  frequently  the 
molasses  is  heated  and  then  distributed 
over  the  feed  by  means  of  an  air  spray. 
Before  the  feed  can  be  put  away  in  bags 
or  in  bins  the  molasses  must  be  dried  or 
congealed,  especially  if  the  feed  is.  in¬ 
tended  fc*  dairy  cows.  Where  it  is  mixed 
with  Alfalfa  meal  and  oat  feed  and  used 
for  horses  it  is  not  so  necessary  that  the 
drying  be  so  complete. 
It  is  scarcely  possible  that  the  trouble 
experienced  is  due  to  the  variation  in  the 
molasses  itself.  The  simplest  illustra¬ 
tion  perhaps  would  be  the  practice  fol¬ 
lowed  in  the  making  of  popcorn  balls. 
If  the  molasses  and  sugar  are  poured 
over  the  popcorn  and  placed  out  of  doors 
until  it  dries,  it  is  impossible  to  get  the 
material  to  adhere.  On  the  other  hand, 
if  compression  is  applied  to  the  popcorn 
as  soon  as  the  molasses  is  cool  enough 
to  handle  a  firm  condition  results..  It  is 
exactly  the  some  iu  the  mixing  of 
molasses  with  feed.  If  the  molasses  is 
allowed  to  congeal  or  dry  before  the 
product  is  excluded  from  the  air  fer¬ 
mentation  will  result  and  heating  and 
caking  be  encountered.
