You  Can  Buy  a  De  Laval  for  $50  and 
Up — On  Such  Easy  Terms  that 
It  Will  Pay  for  Itself 
Don’t  get  the  idea  that  a  De 
Laval  Cream  Separator  is  high 
priced  because  it  is  the  best.  Con¬ 
sidered  on  the  basis  of  service  a 
De  Laval  is  the  cheapest  separa¬ 
tor  made.  A  De  Laval  costs  a 
little  more  to  begin  with  but  lasts 
three  or  four  times  longer,  and 
does  better  work  all  the  time. 
You  can  get  a  De  Laval  for  as 
low  as  $50,  and  up,  depending  on 
the  amount  of  milk  you  have  to 
separate.  No  matter  if  you  have 
one  or  a  thousand  cows,  there  is 
a  De  Laval  just  right  for  you. 
And  you  can  buy  a  De  Laval  on 
such  liberal  terms  that  it  will  pay 
for  itself  while  you  are  using  it. 
When  you  get  a  De  Laval  you 
not  only  get  the  best  separator 
service  for  the  longest  time,  at 
the  least  expense — on  the  easiest 
terms,  if  desired — but  you  can  see 
what  you  are  buying.  You  can 
try  it;  your  local  De  Laval  dealer 
will  instruct  you  in  its  use  and 
provide  service  should  it  ever  be 
necessary;  and  you  can  always  get 
parts  from  the  De  Laval  Company 
at  any  time  during  the  20  to  30 
years,  or  more,  your  machine 
should  last.  These  important  con¬ 
siderations  are  sometimes  over¬ 
looked. 
See  the  new  1923  De  Laval  at 
your  local  dealer’s  store.  It  is 
the  best  cream  separator  ever 
built.  It  has  many  improvements, 
skims  cleaner,  requires  less  care, 
and  will  last  longer  than  any  cream 
separator  on  the  market. 
You  may  be  losing  enough 
butter-fat  with  your  present  sepa¬ 
rator  or  by  hand  skimming  to  pay 
for  a  new  De  Laval  every  year  and 
not  getting  it.  If  you  do  not  know 
the  name  of  your  nearest  De  Laval 
agent,  write  us  direct  for  complete

Backed  By  Nine  Years  Success 
T^EN  years  ago  dairymen  dreamed  of  the  day  when 
the  milking  machine  would  be  perfected  and  hand 
milking  would  be  obsolete.  Today  this  dream  has  come 
true  in  thousands  of  dairies  all  over  the  country. 
The  Perfection  has  been  in  successful  operation  in 
some  of  them  for  nine  years  already.  Let  it  pay  for

Answered  by  Prof.  F.  C.  Minkler 
Garbage-fed  Pigs 
I  am  considering  raising  pigs  this  Sum¬ 
mer,  buying  eight^week  pigs  and  feeding 
them  garbage.  Will  have  garbage  from 
350  cottages ;  100  of  them  are  boarding 
houses.  Garbage  is  collected  every  day. 
I  expect  to  feed  the  following  grain  until 
garbage  is  in  full  flow,  about  July  1:  GO 
lbs.  corn  or  hominy  meal,  30  lbs.  red- 
dog  flour,  10  lbs.  digester  tankage,  60  per 
cent.  Would  you  suggest  different  ration? 
How  much  grain  will  it  take  to  carry 
pigs  10  weeks?  Garbage  can  be  had  for 
the  collecting  of  it.  Pigs  will  be  in  a 
wooodlot  with  a  good  spring.  How  much 
ground  would  you  suggest  for  100  pigs? 
Where  can  I  get  pig  from  garbage-fed 
stock?  Is  there  anything  to  look  out  for 
besides  glass,  wire,  etc.,  such  as  onion 
skins?  I  have  been  told  they  are  fatal 
to  pigs.  Are  they?  Do  you  advise  vac¬ 
cination  for  the  pigs?  If  so,  what  kind 
and  how  given?  Also  at  what  age  best 
given.  If  I  harrow  pasture  with  spring- 
tooth  harrow,  will  I  be  able  to  get  some 
rape  started?  Land  is  too  stony  to  plow. 
Or  would  it  be  better  to  get  some  kinds 
of  roots  and  set  out?  Would  500  be 
enough?  F.  s. 
Connecticut. 
I  do  not  know  where  garbage-raised 
pigs  are  offered  for  sale.  In  the  region 
of  Secaucus,  just  outside  of  Jersey  City, 
perhaps  50,000  or  75,000  pigs  are  raised 
each  year  and  fed  largely  on  garbage  col¬ 
lected  from  New  York  and  Newark.  This 
colony  of  pork  producers  have  definitely 
concluded  that  they  must  raise  rather 
than  purchase  pigs  for  such  feeding.  Pre¬ 
viously  they  shipped  in  from  Southern 
markets  pigs  intended  for  such  feeding. 
In  addition  to  the  problem  of  acclimation 
it  was  found  that  the  pigs  suffered  from 
scours  and  pneumonia,  and  that  unless 
they  were  treated  simultaneously  with 
serum  and  virus  the  loss  from  hog  cholera 
was  very  high.  The  same  results  are  re¬ 
ported  from  the  various  cantonments 
where  garbage  was  used  to  feed  growing 
pigs.  Hence  our  advice  would  be  that 
you  secure,  if  possible,  pigs  whose  dams 
were  fed  and  developed  on  garbage. 
A  ration  consisting  of  corn,  middlings 
and  tankage  could  not  be  improved  upon 
for  preliminary  feeding.  Some  grain 
should  be  fed  in  conjunction  with  the 
garbage.  It  is  safe  to  figure  that  it  will 
require  4  lbs.  of  grain  to  provide  1  lb. 
of  gain  where  the  ration  is  restricted  to 
concentrates.  Therefore,  if  the  pigs  that 
you  select  make  a  gain  of  1  lb.  a  day 
you  can  figure  that  4  lbs.  of  grain  will  be 
required  per  pig  per  day.  Much  of  course 
depends  upon  the  size  and  age  of  the  pigs 
selected. 
As  to  a  suitable  area  for  feeding  100 
pigs  on  garbage,  it  would  be  well  to  select 
a  site  that  is  naturally  wall  drained. 
This  will  avoid  impossible  conditions  that 
would  be  encountered  during  wet  weather 
under  other  circumstances.  If  you  pro-, 
pose  to  feed  the  garbage  by  spreading  it 
out  on  the  ground.  I  should  say  a  four  or  > 
five-acre  area  would  be  sufficient.  If  you 
have  constructed  cement  feeding  areas 
and  propose  to  feed  the  garbage  as  swill 
in  troughs,  a  much  smaller  area  will  suf¬ 
fice. 
In  the  Secaucus  district  the  garbage  is 
all  sorted  and  run  through  digesters, 
where  the  grease  is  skimmed  off  and  only 
the  residue  used  for  feeding  purposes.  It 
is  claimed  that  the  proceeds  obtained 
from  the  sale  of  the  grease  to  soap  manu¬ 
facturers  more  than  provide  for  the  cost 
of  collection,  and  the  pigs  are  grown,  de¬ 
veloped  and  fattened  on  the  residual  pro¬ 
ducts.  Of  course  one  will  always  en¬ 
counter  some  loss  from  gastritis.  Por¬ 
tions  of  glass  and  other  foreign  sub¬ 
stances  will  literally  slit  the  digestive 
tracts  and  cause  loss  of  this  character. 
By  all  means  have  the  pigs  treated  with 
serum  and  virus  as  a  means  of  preventing 
hog  cholera.  Pigs  weighing  about  75  lbs. 
are  best  suited  for  garbage  feeding.  If 
they  are  disposed  of  when  they  weigh  175 
or  200  lbs.  the  best  prices  will  be  ob¬ 
tained,  and  less  dockage  will  result  from 
oily  or  soft  carcasses. 
Practical  Dairy  Ration 
I  wish  a  ration  for  purebred  Jerseys 
and  Holsteins.  Have  plenty  of  good  corn 
silage,  some  each  of  Alfalfa,  oat  and 
mixed  hay.  Can  secure  cornmeal,  hom¬ 
iny,  ground  oats,  gluten  feed,  bran  and 
oilmeal.  J.  A.  B. 
New  Jersey. 
With  corn  silage  of  good  quality  and  a 
roughage  consisting  of  Alfalfa,  sheaf  oats 
and  mixed  hay,  I  would  combine  the  in¬ 
gredients  available  in  the  following  pro¬ 
portion  :  250  lbs.  of  hominy,  250  lbs. 
ground  oats.  250  gluten  feed,  150  lbs.  lin¬ 
seed  meal,  150  lbs.  wheat  bran. 
This  will  make  a  ration  carrying  about 
18  per  cent  of  protein,  and  is  intended 
for  £ows  yielding  less  than  30  lbs.  of  milk 
per  day.  For  cows  of  higher  production 
I  should  add  10  per  cent  of  cottonseed 
meal.  It  would  be  well  to  feed  approxi¬ 
mately  1  lb.  of  this  grain  mixture  for 
each  3%  lbs.  of  milk  produced  per  day, 
in  addition  to  the  silage  and  all  of  the 
roughage  that  the  cows  will  consume.  Un¬ 
less  salt  is  available  at  all  times  I  should 
add  IV2  per  cent  of  salt  to  this  grain 
mixture.
