ANY  iron  hooped,  stave  silo,  if  twisted, 
k  tipped  or  collapsed  can  be  rebuilt  into 
a  beautiful  new  Crainp  3-wall  Silo  at  about

A  Craine  Silo  gives  3-wall  protection 
against  wind  and  weather.  The  strong  stave 
wall  surrounded  by  Crainelox  Spiral  Cover¬ 
ing  with  thick  wall  of  Silafelt  between,  in¬ 
sures  perfect  silage  and  giant  strength  at 
every  square  inch  of  silo. 
Craine  Silos  are  different  from  any  silo  you  see. 
Their  smooth  exterior  is  unmarred  by  hoops  or 
lugs.  They  are  as  strong  a9  they  are  beautiful. 
When  you  choose  the  Craine  you  decide  on  per¬ 
manent  satisfaction — the  lowest  yearly  cost  for 
silage  making  and  keeping.

Live  Stock  Questions 
Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Feeding  Beet  Pulp 
I  am  milking  seven  cows  and  have  only 
hay  and  grain.  Will  you  advise  me  how 
much  beet  pulp  to  feed?  Which  is  the 
best  time  of  the  day  to  feed  it,  and  is  it 
policy  to  put  molasses  with  it?  w.  c.  M. 
New  York. 
Moistened  beet  pulp  should  be  fed  to 
cows  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening, 
and  preferably  mixed  with  a  grain  ration 
at  feeding  time.  Twenty-five  pounds  of 
the  moistened  beet  pulp  per  cow  per  day 
will  provide  sufficient  succulence.  The 
ciry  beet  pulp  should  be  moistened  for 
32  hours  previous  to  feeding.  In  other 
words,  the  evening  supply  should  be  mois¬ 
tened  in  the  morning,  and  that  fed  in  the 
morning  should  be  saturated  the  night  be¬ 
fore.  Where  warm  water  is  available, 
some  molasses  can  be  used  advantageous¬ 
ly.  The  addition  of  molasses  increases 
the  carbohydrate  content  of  the  feed,  as 
well  as  increases  its  palatibility.  Corn- 
meal,  however,  is  a  more  economical 
source  of  energy  than  molasses,  and  the 
beet  pulp  itself  is  sufficiently  palatable  to 
invite  sufficient  consumption.  If  care  is 
exercised  in  providing  a  palatable  grain 
ration  it  is  not  necessary  to  use  molasses 
as  an  appetizer.  A  molasses  barrel  cut, 
in  two  makes  an  excellent  receptacle  for 
saturating  beet  pulp. 
Home-mixed  Grain 
My  hay  and  fodder  are  completely  used. 
I  must  now  buy.  What  grain  mixture 
do  you  advise?  g.  h.  p. 
Montoursville,  Pa. 
If  you  desire  to  home  mix  and  can  se¬ 
cure  standard  ingredients  of  known  an¬ 
alysis,  the  following  mixture  will  give 
you  a  20  per  cent  feed  when  fed  in  con¬ 
junction  with  Alfalfa  or  clover  hay  :  Glu¬ 
ten  feed,  200  lbs.  ;  linseed  meal,  150  lbs. ; 
cottonseed  meal,  150  lbs. ;  bran,  200  lbs. ; 
hominy,  300  lbs.  If  it  is  desired  to  use  a 
simplified  ration  when  the  cows  go  out  to 
grass,  one  that  does  not  include  linseed 
meal  or  very  much  bran,  a  mixture  con¬ 
sisting  of  500  lbs.  cornmeal,  200  lbs.  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal,  150  lbs.  bran.  150  lbs.  glu¬ 
ten  meal,- will  T>e  economical.  Where  lin¬ 
seed  meal  is  incorporated  in  a  ration  and 
fed  to  cow  foraging  on  luxuriant  pasture, 
undue  laxativeness  is  often  encountered. 
This  condition  is  avoided  where  the  pro¬ 
tein  traces  either  to  cottonseed  meal  or 
to  gluten  feed.  If  you  have  oats  that 
have  been  raised  on  the  farm  they  can  re¬ 
place  the  bran  in  either  combination,  es¬ 
pecially  the  latter  combination  that  is  in¬ 
tended  to  be  fed  cows  on  pasture.  You 
must  use  judgment  in  the  selection  of  a 
quality  roughage,  for  fodder  of  this  char¬ 
acter  is  essential  until  the  cows  are 
turned  out  to  grass. 
Shrinkage  in  Milk  Yield 
1.  What  can  I  feed  my  cows  to  make 
more  milk?  I  have  eight  young  cows. 
I  get  seven  and  eight  cans  a  day.  I  feed 
eight  quarts  mixed  grain  each  a  day,  and 
hay,  but  hwe  no  corn  fodder  or  other 
roughage,  and  I  do  not  think  that  I  get 
enough  milk.  I  got  11  cans  when  I  got 
these  cows  about  six  weeks  ago  and  they 
have  gone  down  to  eight  cans  a  day.  2.  I 
had  money  willed  to  me  by  a  sister;  she 
had  no  money  except  in  the  bank ;  no  real 
estate.  How  long  will  I  have  to  wait  for 
this  money,  or  legacy,  before  I  can  get  it? 
Massachusetts.  a.  w.  h. 
1.  Yon  have  failed  to  indicate  in  your 
inquiry  the  particular  grade  of  mixed"  feed 
that  you  are  using  as  a  dairy  ration  for 
your  herd.  Hence  it  is  suggested  that  the 
following  ration  be  used  until  the  cows 
are  turned  out  to  pasture :  43  per  cent 
cottonseed  meal,  150  lbs.  ;  linseed  oilmeal, 
200  lbs.  ;  corn  or  hominy  meal,  300  lbs. ; 
bran  or  middlings.  150  lbs. ;  ground  oats. 
100  lbs. ;  gluten  feed,  100  lbs.  This  will 
provide  a  22  per  cent  protein  feed  that  is 
well  adapted  for  cows  yielding  not  more 
than  30  Tbs.  of  milk  per  day.  After  pas¬ 
ture  is  available  the  ration  can  be  sim¬ 
plified  to  a  combination  consisting  of  500 
lbs.  cornmeal.  200  lbs.  cottonseed  meal, 
200  lbs.  bran,  100  lbs.  gluten  feed.  In  the 
absence  of  silage,  some  moistened  beet 
pulp  should  be  used  to  supply  succulence 
until  grass  is  available,  and  in  any  event 
some  roughage,  such  as  clover  or  Alfalfa 
hay,  must  he  supplied.  Dairy  cows  can¬ 
not  get  along  without  some  roughage,  and 
the  better  the  quality  of  hay  the  greater 
the  production  of  milk. 
As  to  the  amount  of  grain  to  supply,  it 
is  well  to  allow  the  cows  all  of  the  rough- 
age  that  they  will  clean  up  with  relish, 
and  feed  approximately  1  lb.  of  the  first- 
named  grain  mixture  for  each  3  lbs.  of 
milk  produced  per  cow  per  day.  When 
the  cows  get  out  on  grass  the  1‘ation  can 
be  somewhat  reduced ;  but  even  at  this 
time  it  should  t>e  fed  in  proportion  to  the 
daily  production  of  milk.  Much  is  to  be 
gained  by  keeping  the  cows  in  good  flesh 
during  the  Summer,  as  this  precaution 
adds  substantially  to  their  milk-making 
ability  during  the  coming  Winter.
