There  are  now  more  than  10,000 
De  Laval  Milkers  in  use,  and 
their  owners  are  almost  unani¬ 
mous  in  their  agreement  that  the 
De  Laval  is  better,  faster,  cleaner 
and  cheaper  than  any  other  meth¬ 
od  of  milking.  With  a  herd  of 
10  or  more  cows  a  De  Laval 
Milker  will  soon  pay  for  itself  in 
the  saving  of  time  and  labor,  in¬ 
creased  milk  production  which  its 
uniform  and  stimulating  action 
usually  brings,  and  through  the 
cleaner  and  improved  quality  of 
the  milk. 
You  can  buy  a  D» 
Laval  Milker  on  any 
terms  you  desire  —  for 
cash,  on  time,  or  on  in¬ 
stallments. 
For  10%  down  you 
can  start  using  a  De 
Laval  Milker,  and  6%  a 
month  for  15  months 
pays  for  it. 
On  such  extremely 
liberal  terms  you  can  get 
the  use  of  a  De  Laval 
while  it  actually  pays  for 
itself.  In  many  cases  the 
saving  in  labor  alone  will 
more  than  meet  the 
monthly  installments  as 
they  come  due. 
Ask  your  De  Laval 
Agent  for  complete  in¬ 
formation  or  write  us 
now.  Get  your  De  Laval 
in  now  before  your  rush 
season,  so  that  you  will 
receive  its  full  benefit 
when  you  need  it  most.

Live  Stock  Questions 
Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
A  Feed  Analysis 
Will  you  give  me  the  analysis  of  the 
following  material?  100  lbs.  oats,  300 
lbs.  cob  meal,  200  lbs.  bran.  200  lbs.  glu¬ 
ten,  100  lbs.  cottonseed  meal  (43%),  100 
lbs.  linseed  meal.  Do  you  think  this  a  pro¬ 
per  ration  to  feed  fresh  cows  with  early 
cut,  old  land  hay?  At  our  local  feed 
store  I  can  get  a  balanced  ration  for 
$2.00  per  100  lbs.  r.  f.  j. 
Vermont. 
Provided  the  ingredients  mentioned  are 
of  standard  analysis,  a  mixture  consist¬ 
ing  of  100  lbs.  of  oats,  300  lbs.  corn-and- 
cob  meal,  200  lbs.  bran,  200  lbs.  gluten 
feed,  100  lbs.  cottonseed  meal,  100  lbs. 
linseed  meal  would  provide  a  mixture 
carrying  18  per  cent  of  crude  protein. 
This  is  scarcely  enough  protein  for  cows 
of  average  production,  and  the  value  of 
the  mixture  would  be  increased  by  dou¬ 
bling  the  amount  of  linseed  meal  and  re¬ 
ducing  the  amount  of  cornmeal  by  100 
lbs.  This  would  give  you  a  20  per  cent 
ration  that  ought  to  be  satisfactory  un¬ 
der  the  conditions  described. 
One  problem  that  you  must  solve  be¬ 
fore  your  dairy  processes  will  be  placed 
on  a  profitable  basis  is  to  secure  a  better 
grade  of  roughage.  Ihedtop  or  June  grass 
mixed  with  the  daisies  and  Timothy  is  ill- 
suited  for  use  in  supplying  dairy  cows 
with  necessary  roughage. 
As  to  whether  the  above  mixture  would 
be  superior  to  the  22  per  cent  mixed  feed 
that  is  available  at  $2.90  per  100  lbs.  can 
be  determined  only  by  trial  in  your  own 
stable  when  fed  to  your  own  cows. 
Feeding  Young  Pigs 
I  wish  information  on  feeding  six- 
weeks-old  pigs.  We  are  going  to  get  two 
in  April.  It  is  our  first  attempt. 
Massachusetts.  G.  w. 
Pigs  at  weaning  time  that  have  access 
to  some  grain  previous  to  being  weaned 
will  make  good  response  if  fed  four  times 
a  day  with  a  mixture  consisting  of  four 
parts  of  wheat  middlings,  five  parts  of 
cornmeal  and  one  part  of  digester  tank¬ 
age.  The  ingredients  should  be  mixed 
with  water  and  fed  in  a  trough  that  is 
washed  and  cleaned.  They  should  ap¬ 
proach  the  consistency  of  buttermilk  at 
the  time  of  feeding,  and  should  be  fed 
only  in  such  amounts  as  the  pigs  will 
clean  up  with  relish  at  each  meal.  If  one 
has  skim-milk,  then  4  lbs.  of  skim-milk 
can  toe  fed  with  each  pound  of  dry  grain. 
Even  under  these  circumstances  the 
grain  should  not  be  mixed  with  the  milk, 
but  rather  the  milk  should  be  fed  in  ad¬ 
dition  to  the  moistened  mash.  Shelled 
or  cracked  corn  can  be  fed  once  a  day, 
and  it  is  believed  that  pigs  enjoy  eating 
dry  feed  of  this  character. 
A  mixture  consisting  of  equal  parts  of 
ground  limestone  and  salt  should  be  kept 
before  the  pigs  at  all  times,  and  in  addi¬ 
tion  the  use  of  Alfalfa  or  clover  hay  sup¬ 
plied  by  means  of  slat  racks  has  many 
advantages.  The  young  pigs  will  not  eat 
very  much  of  this  mixture  or  roughage, 
but  they  will  pick  over  enough  of  the 
leaves  t-o  insure  the  consumption  of  a 
sufficient  amount  of  vitamines  which 
roughages  of  this  character  supply. 
Feeding  Cows  and  Heifers 
I  wish  a  balanced  ration  for  two  cows, 
one  a  four-year-old  grade  Jersey,  due  to 
freshen  next  October,  the  other  a  three- 
year-old  purebred,  due  to  freshen  the  15th 
of  next  month.  For  roughage  I  have 
mixed  hay  and  cornstalks,  mangel  beets 
and  corn-and-cob  meal.  R.  w.  s. 
Connecticut. 
IWe  are  taking  it  for  granted  that  the 
three-year-old  Jersey  heifer,  due  to 
freshen  May  15,  has  been  well  grown 
and  carries  a  reasonable  amount  of  flesh  ; 
also  that  the  cow  that  is  now  in  milk 
and  due  to  freshen  next  October  is  in 
fairly  good  condition.  With  mixed  hay 
and  corn  stover  for  roughage  and  man¬ 
gel  beets  to  supply  succulence  it  is  pro¬ 
posed  that  the  combination  consist  of 
10  lbs.  of  ground  oats,  20  lbs.  bran,  25 
lbs.  cornmeal,  25  lbs.  linseed  meal,  20  lbs. 
gluten  feed.  This  can  be  fed  to  both  of 
the  cows  after  they  come  in  milk. 
For  use  in  feeding  the  heifer  just  pre¬ 
vious  to  freshening  I  should  propose 
equal  parts  of  ground  oats,  wheat  bran 
and  15  per  cent  of  linseed  meal.  This 
will  be  laxative  and  cooling,  will  satisfy 
her  appetite,  and  if  accompanied  with 
plenty  of  roughage  and  some  mangel 
beets,  will  be  a  safe  combination.  If  the 
heifer  is  thin  in  flesh  then  some  corn-and- 
cob  meal  can  be  added  to  the  ration,  but 
it  is  believed  that  the  feeding  of  an_  ex¬ 
cessive  amount  of  cornmeal  just  previous 
to  calving  irritates  the  udder  and  is  re¬ 
sponsible  'for  an  undesirable  fevered  con¬ 
dition. 
The  same  combination  of  ingredients 
can  be  fed  to  the  older  cow  when  she  goes 
dry  during  the  early  stages  of  her  rest 
period.  I  should  include  some  cornmeal 
in  her  ration.  A  mixture  of  equal  parts 
of  corn,  oats  and  bran  to  which  has  been 
added  15  per  cent  of  linseed  meal  is  pro¬ 
posed.

Experience  teaches  that  no  man  cr 
set  of  men  can  day  after  day  produce 
milk  free  from  sediment.  It  is  vitally 
important  to  strain  off  all  the  sedi¬ 
ment  immediately  after  milking. 
We  guarantee  that  our  Dr.  Clark  Purity 
Milk  Strainer  will  remove  every  last  bit  of 
sediment,  and  no  other  strainer  will.  Make 
us  prove  it. 
The  Dr.  Clark  invariably  wins  first  prize  at 
every  show  where  exhibited.  More  than 
ten  million  quarts  of  milk  are  strained 
through  it  daily.  Economical  and  conven¬
