So  Easy  to  Use 
—  In  Poultry  Houses,  Cow  Barns,  Etc. — 
Carbola  is  a  white  paint  and  powerful  disinfectant  combined  in  powder  form. 
Simply  stir  the  powder  in  a  pail  of  water  and  it  is  ready  for  brush  or  sprayer — 
no  waiting  or  straining.  Does  not  clog  sprayer.  Won’t  peel  or  flake. 
The  powerful  disinfectant  does  not  evaporate  but  keeps  its  strength  on  the 
walls.  Carbola  will  not  spoil  even  in  wrater  and  may  be  kept  standing  in  pail 
to  be  used  as  wanted.  One  pound  covers  about  100  square  feet. 
Results  Are  Sure  and  Certain 
Carbola  is  neither  poisonous  nor  caustic — harmless  to  the  smallest  chick  or 
stock  that  licks  a  painted  surface.  It  gives  walls  and  ceilings  a  smooth,  white 
finish,  increases  the  light,  improves  the  appearance,  and  helps  make  buildings 
clean,  sweet-smelling  and  free  from  mites  and  contagious  disease  germs.  There 
is  nothing  better  than  Carbola  for  dairies,  poultry  houses,  cellars,  dog  kennels, 
rabbit  hutches,  garages,  tree  trunks,  etc. 
It  has  been  used  for  years  by  more  than  100,000  dairy  and  poultry  farmers 
and  by  agricultural  colleges  and  experiment  stations.  We  have  a  big  file  of 
letters  from  farmers  and  storekeepers  praising  it.  Give  it  a  trial — you  will 
never  regret  it. 
AS  A  LOUSE  POWDER  for  use  on  cattle,  poultry,  horses,  hogs,  dogs,  etc.,  the  dry  pow¬ 
der  will  be  found  most  satisfactory.  The  dry  powder  is  applied  like  any  other  louse  powder,  and 
is  very  effective — a  first-class  louse  powder  at  10c  a  pound. 
Your  hardware ,  feed,  seed,  poultry  supply  or  drug  dealer  has  Carbola  or  can  get  it.

Ration  With  Meadow  Hay 
I  wish  a  grain  ration  to  be  fed  with 
meadow  hay  'for  roughage  and  a  ration 
to  be  fed  with  oats  and  green  barley. 
Connecticut.  s.  k.  b. 
While  you  do  not  mention  dairy  cattle, 
we  are  assuming  that  you  propose  to  feed 
cows  on  the  rations  requested.  Meadow 
hay,  as  an  exclusive  roughage,  is  scarcely 
satisfactory  unless  it  carries  considerable 
clover.  It  will  serve  as  a  filler  but  will 
not  contribute  very  much  energy  or  pro¬ 
tein.  The  following  grain  ration  will 
yield  22  per  cent  of  protein  and  is  intend¬ 
ed  for  cows  of  average  production.  If 
fed  with  Alfalfa  or  clover  hay  and  in 
conjuetion  with  silage  or  beet  pulp  it 
would  be  more  efficient.  The  mixture  fol¬ 
lows  :  250  lbs.  hominy,  250  lbs.  bran,  150 
lbs.  linseed  meal,  150  lbs.  cottonseed  meal. 
150  lbs.  gluten  feed,  50  lbs.  oats. 
For  a  grain  ration  intended  to  be  fed 
with  green  oats  and  barley,  the  combina¬ 
tion  could  be  simplified  provided  there  is 
suffiieient  amount  of  green  forage  crops 
to  feed  the  cows  all  that  they  will  con¬ 
sume  with  relish.  The  green  feeds  would 
be  naturally  laxative  and  hence  the  wis¬ 
dom  of  eliminating  the  bran  and  linseed 
from  the  mixture  is  self-evideut :  400  lbs. 
hominy,  200  lbs.  oats,  200  lbs.  cottonseed 
meal,  200  lbs.  gluten  feed. 
Feed  approximately  one  pound  of  this 
mixture  for  each  3%  pounds  of  milk 
produced  per  day  per  cow.  It  would  be 
well  to  feed  some  of  the  meadow  hay  in 
conjunction  with  the  green  oats  and 
barley. 
Ration  for  Jersey  Heifer 
Would  you  give  me  a  formula  for  feed¬ 
ing  a  purebred  Jersey  with  first  calf, 
milking  eight  quarts  a  day  and  milking 
since  April?  I  want  to  feed  for  cream 
for  family  use.  mrs.  f.  t.  h. 
New  York. 
It  is  scarcely  possible  to  modify  the 
cream  line  in  milk  by  feeding  a  ration 
high  in  fat  or  "wide  in  its  nutritive  con¬ 
tent.  The  ability  to  yield  milk  high  or 
low  in  butterfat  is  the  result  of  breeding 
and  inheritance  and  not  of  feed,  care, 
and  management.  Jersey  cows  produce 
milk  testing  the  highest  percentage  of 
butter-fat  and  serve  very  well  as  family 
cows. 
For  the  heifer  you  describe  now  yield¬ 
ing  eight  quarts  of  milk  per  day,  and  in 
milk  since  last  April  I  would  suggest  a 
ration  consisting  of  30  lbs.  cornmeal ;  20 
lbs.  ground  oats ;  20  lbs.  bran ;  15  lbs. 
linseed  meal ;  15  lbs.  cottonseed  meal. 
This  is  a  highly  concentrated  ration  and 
its  use  will  not  result  in  any  congestion 
or  inflammation  of  the  udder.  During 
the  Winter  when  this  Jersey  heifer  is  not 
on  pasture  some  moistened  beet  pulp  that 
has  been  mixed  with  gluten  feed  and 
saturated  with  water  should  be  added  to 
this  combination.  Feed  one  pound  of  the 
grain  ration  for  each  3*4  pounds  of  milk 
produced  per  day.  In  other  words,  if 
your  cow  is  now  giving  eight  quarts  of 
milk,  which  is  equivalent  to  IT1/*  pounds, 
she  should  be  fed  six  pounds  of  grain 
per  day. 
In  addition  to  the  concentrates  or  the 
coarse  feed  described  feed  Alfalfa  or 
clover  hay  in  generous  quantities,  using 
all  that  the  heifer  will  clean  up  with 
relish  two  or  three  'times  daily.  If  it  be 
possible  to  feed  more  succulence  such  as 
mangel  beets  the  flow  of  milk  might  be 
slightly  increased.  Continue  this  ration 
until  the  cow  completes  her  lactation 
period,  and  then  during  her  dry  state  feed 
her  a  daily  ration  of  five  pounds  of  feed 
resulting  from  combining  30  lbs.  corn,  30 
lbs.  oats,  30  lbs.  bran,  10  lbs.  linseed 
meal. 
If  this  amount  of  feed  does  not  main¬ 
tain  the  heifer  in  good  flesh  increase  the 
amount,  'for  it  is  good  judgment  to  feed 
family  cows  of  this  type  until  they  gain 
in  weight  and  are  in  good  physical  con¬ 
dition  during  their  dry  period.  Deduce 
the  ration  just  previous  to  calving  in  or¬ 
der  to  make  sure  that  no  inflammation  or 
congestion  of  the  udder  will  interfere  with 
the  normal  production  of  milk.

They  say  that  milk  should  never 
contain  sediment  of  any  kind. 
They  are  right.  For  clean  milk  is 
healthy  milk — milk  that  brings  the 
top  market  price.  That  is  why  a 
good  milk  strainer  is  a  practical 
necessity  for  every  dairy. 
The  Dr.  Clark  Purity  Milk  Strainer  is  the 
best  made.  For  it  will  positively  remove 
all  sediment,  including  muck,  dandruff, 
hair  and  fine  manure — and  no  other  strainer 
will.  We  guarantee  it — make  us  prove  it. 
More  than  ten  million  quarts  of  milk  are 
strained  daily  through  the  Dr.  Clark.  Made 
in  10-qt.  and  18- qt.  sizes.  No  cloths,  no 
fine  wire  gauze.  Inexpensive  —  lasts  a  life¬
