12  GREAT  BOOKS! 
Don  Quickshot  of  the  Rio  Grande  Stephen  Chalmers 
“Lookin’  f'r  Trouble  is  my  middle  name,’’  said  Impul¬ 
sive  Pep,  adventuring  cowpuncher.  And  there  on  the 
border,  among  raiding  Mexican  bandits,  train  robbers, 
Texas  rangers,  a  prairie  fire— not  to  mention  a  pair  of 
blue  eyes — lie  did  not  have  far  to  look. 
Loaded  Dice  Edwin  L.  Sabin 
A  romance  of  Texas  of  the  early  days,  when  lives  de¬ 
pended  on  the  Quickness  of  draw,  and  all  the  courage  of 
the  pioneers  was  needed  to  brave  the  perils  they  so  fear¬ 
lessly  faced.  A  thrilling  tale  of  men  who  were  jugglers 
with  death. 
Sontag  of  Sundown  W.  C.  Tuttle 
The  story  of  the  Question  of  ownership  of  the  T.J  ranch — 
a  question  which  promoted  bloodshed  and  a  war  of  no 
mean  caliber.  The  cowpunchers  of  this  story  will  live 
long  in  your  memory  for  their  originality  and  enterprise. 
They  are  men  whose  best  friends  were  tlieir  nerve  and 
their  gun. 
Spawn  of  the  Desert  W.  C.  Tuttle 
A  tale  of  Calico  Town: 
Where  men  lived  raw  in  the  desert's  maw,  and  Hell  was 
nothing  to  shun;  wiiere  they  buried  ’em  neat,  without 
preacher  or  sheet,  and  writ  on  their  tombstone,  crude  but 
sweet:  “This  jasper  was  slow  with  his  gun.’’ 
Arizona  Argonauts  H.  Bedford- Jones 
Three  adventurers  whose  fortune  in  the  Arizona  desert 
lead  through  drought  and  danger  to  the  goal  they  sought — 
gold,  free  gold,  the  gold  of  which  they  had  always  dreamed. 
They  were  men  quick  on  the  trigger  who  loved  to  face  odds. 
The  Lure  of  Piper’s  Glen  Theodore  G.  Roberts 
It  was  the  lure  of  all  the  great  timber  country  of  the 
North,  of  plentiful  game,  of  the  clear  wind  from  the  great 
plains.  The  call  came  South:  young  .Tim  Todliunter 
heard  it,  and  a  great  tide  of  life  in  the  north  caught 
him  up — to  bring  adventure  a-plenty. 
Apache  Valley  Arthur  Chapman 
A  story  of  a  cattle  war  in  the  southwest,  with  all  it  means 
— terror  and  blood  feud — alarms  by  night  and  day;  rust¬ 
ling  and  stealthy  murder.  And  through  it  all  are  woven 
the  lives  of  true  men  as  well  as  thieves,  men  whose  lives 
reflected  the  glories  of  the  land  they  protected. 
The  Challenge  of  the  North  James  B.  Hendryx 
This  is  a  story  of  the  call  of  the  great  Northland:  of  pur¬ 
poses  and  cross  purposes:  of  true  men  and  of  “bad’’  men; 
and  of  big  deals  and  pioneering  triumphs.  A  tale  of  the 
north  which  holds  for  the  young,  the  strong  and  the 
brave,  adventures  that  are  countless. 
The  Second  Mate  H.  Bedford-Jones 
Peril  and  mutiny  on  the  China  Seas.  When  every  scup¬ 
per  was  running  red,  and  with  two  white  women  at  the 
mercy  of  a  villainous  crew  composed  of  the  sweepings  of 
the  outermost  islands,  Jim  Barnes,  realized  the  gage  of 
desperate  battle  he  had  accepted  when  he  signed  on  as 
second  mate  of  the  SULU  QUEEN. 
The  Devil’s  Payday  W.  C.  Tuttle 
A  sky  of  brass,  the  sun  a  flame. 
And  the  land  no  place  to  dwell; 
The  only  spot  that  God  forgot, 
A  hunk  of  earth,  so  doggone  hot 
That  it  still  belongs  to  Hell. 
The  Canyon  of  the  Green  Death  F.  R.  Buckley 
Who  were  the  devils  in  human  form,  whose  haunt  was 
the  lost  barranca  ?  Invisible,  terrible,  they  brought  the 
redoubtable  young  officer  of  the  law  to  a  strange  dilemma. 
The  law  of  the  land  commanded  him  not  to  desert  his 
prisoners;  the  law  of  die  desert  ordained  that  he  stand  by 
his  companions.  Which  did  the  Fates  decree  he  should  obey? 
Sky-High  Corral  Ralph  Cummins 
A  yarn  of  the  unending  feuds  between  cattlemen  and 
forest  rangers:  of  the  forest  fires,  grazing  herds  and  bitter 
fights  at  timberline.  Yet  in  the  end  our  gallant  young 
ranger  through  ordeal  of  battles,  fire  and  blood  brought 
the  old  timers  to  see  the  new  ways  of  forest  conservation 
are  best.

Increasing  Milk  Flow 
Will  you  furnish  a  balanced  ration  for 
Holstein  cows?  I  am  now  feeding  20<> 
lbs.  cornmeal.  200  lbs.  ground  oats,  200 
lbs.  23  per  cent  gluten.  250  lbs.  15  per 
cent  wheat  bran,  150  lbs.  43  per  cent 
cottonseed  meal  and  100  lbs.  31  per  cent 
linseed  meal,  and  all  they  can  consume 
of  clover,  Orchard  and  Timothy  hay. 
mixed.  I  am  now  getting  on  an  average 
of  28  lbs.  per  cow  a  day.  The  cows  are 
in  good,  warm,  well-ventilated  stables,  in 
good  flesh,  and  it  seems  as  though  they 
should  do  better  under  such  conditions. 
Cooper's  Plains,  N.  Y.  x.  m.  s. 
The  ration  that  you  are  now  feeding 
would  be  improved  by  replacing  50  lbs. 
of  the  ground  oats  with  50  lbs.  of  linseed 
meal,  and  by  increasing  the  amount  of 
cottonseed  meal  to  200  lbs.  As  I.  figure 
it.  your  mixture  yields  exactly  20  per 
cent  protein,  and  for  cows  yielding  an 
average  of  28  lbs.  per  day  it  is  clear  that 
an  added  amount  of  protein  would  in¬ 
crease  their  flow  of  milk,  especially  since 
they  are  in  good  flesh  and  in  full  vigor. 
You  do  not  state  whether  these  cows  are 
being  provided  with  any  succulence,  such 
as  silage  or  beet  pulp.  In  the  absence  of 
silage  I  should  surely  feed  some  moistened 
beet  pulp,  especially  since  all  of  the  hay 
used  is  not  legume  in  character.  It  is 
possible  that  the  bran  that  you  are  using 
carries  a  high  percentage  of  screenings, 
and  this  factor  alone  might  decrease  its 
palatability.  The  suggestion  that  you  use 
200  lbs.  of  the  coarse  bran  and  50  lbs. 
of  gluten  meal  is  made,  hoping  that  the 
balancing  of  the  proteins  might  be  more 
complete. 
I  take  it  that  you  are  providing  your 
animals  with  a  sufficient  amount  of  salt, 
which  would  be  either  added  to  the  grain 
ration  or  fed  by  itself.  My  experience 
prompts  the  suggestion  that' 15  per  cent 
is  about  the  minimum  amount  of  linseed 
meal  that  can  be  safely  incorporated  in 
a  dairy  ration  of  this  character.  How¬ 
ever,  you  must  realize  that  an  average 
production  of  14  qts.  per  day  is  more 
than  double  the  average  production  of 
the  average  herd  in  dairy  districts.  Ii 
the  producers  of  commercial  milk  where 
large  dairy  herds  are  maintained  could 
obtain  an  average  of  14  qts.  of  milk  p 
day  they  would  feel  very  highly  satisfied. 
Ration  for  Heifer 
Will  you  review  the  following  ration 
for  fresh  second  calf  Jersey  heifer :  100 
lbs.  ground  oats,  100  lbs.  wheat  bran,  75 
lbs.  gluten.  100  lbs.  linseed  meal,  o.  p.. 
50  lbs.  wheat  middlings,  50  lbs.  hominy. 
25  lbs.  cottonseed  meal.  This  ration  will 
be  fed  with  dried  beet  pulp.  My  roughage 
is  poor  quality  mixed  hay.  I  have  en¬ 
deavored  to  select  feeds  well  up  in  lime 
and  have  purposely  incorporated  a  small 
amount  only  of  cottonseed  meal.  This  is 
a  good  heifer,  and  J  am  anxious  to  have 
a  ration  correctly  balanced  to  make  up 
in  a  measure  for  the  roughage  available 
so  that  she  can  make  good  at  the  pail 
without  too  great  a  drain  on  her  system. 
Millbrook,  N.  Y.  d.  s.  s. 
The  mixture  you  have  formulated,  pro¬ 
vided  you  are  using  gluten  feed  rather 
than  gluten  meal,  carries  16  per  cent  pro¬ 
tein.  The  palatability  of  the  combination 
would  be  increased  were  you  to  replace 
the  wheat  middlings  with  wheat  bran  and 
increase  amount  of  linseed  meal  and 
gluten  meal  in  quantity  sufficient  to  bring 
the  mixture  up  to  a  20  per  cent  basis. 
The  amount  of  cottonseed  meal  could  be 
safely  increased,  or,  if  you  are  averse  t<> 
using  this  concentrate,  the  substitution 
of  brewers’  grains  would  help  materially 
in  making  the  combination  more  satisfac¬ 
tory.  I  should  propose,  therefore,  the 
combination  mixed  as  follows :  150  lbs. 
ground  oats.  200  lbs.  bran,  150  lbs.  lin¬ 
seed  meal,  150  lbs.  gluten  feed,  50  lbs. 
cottonseed  meal,  100  lbs.  brewers’  grains. 
200  lbs.  hominy.  If  you  feed  beet  pul r* 
in  addition  to  the  ration  proposed  it  would 
materially  reduce  the  ratio  of  protein, 
and  the  heifer  would  not  have  sufficient 
protein  to  meet  the  milk-making  demand.'. 
You  need  have  no  fear  of  udder  trouble 
where  this  combination  is  used,  provided 
you  feed  plenty  of  roughage  and  bee, 
pulp  along  with  the  grain  ration. 
Feeding  Beet  Pulp 
Will  you  give  me  the  amount  of  dried 
beet  pulp  to  feed  to  milking  cows,  both 
Holsteins  and  Guernseys?  I  am  feeding 
a  balanced  ration  of  grain  and  the  correct 
amount  of  hay.  but  my  silage  will  not 
last  much  longer,  and  I  am  going  to  fall 
back  on  the  beet  pulp,  hut  all  information 
I  can  find  does  not  agree  on  the  amount. 
Bradford,  Mass.  e.  s.  f. 
The  best  results  follow  where  beet  pulp 
is  moistened  previous  to  being  fed  to 
dairy  cows.  If  it  is  incorporated  in  dry 
mixtures,  it  increases  the  bulk,  but  does 
not  add  materially  to  its  palatability. 
Good  results  follow  its  use  generally  lie- 
cause  it  carries  an  abundance  of  lime, 
and  seemingly  increases  the  digestibility  of 
accompanying  feeds.  If  your  grain  ration 
is  a  complete  feed  and  carries  from  20  to 
24  per  cent  of  protein,  and  not  more  than 
10  per  cent  of  fiber,  and  provided  you 
have  available  such  roughage  as  Alfalfa
