HOGS  need  animal  food  to  build 
flesh  and  bone.  Dold-Quality 
Digester  Tankage  is  60%  animal 
protein.  Mix  with  grain  or  feed 
separately  in  hoppers  or  slops. 
Gives  better  results  than  grain 
alone;  saves  one-third  cost.  Tankage-fed 
hogs  show  more  pounds  when  marketed — and 
more  profit  per  pound.  Experience  proves  it.

This  will  provide  a  20  per  cent  ration, 
which  is  little  enough  protein  to  feed 
when  the  roughage  is  of  such  low  grade. 
If  the  cows  give  more  than  30  lbs.  of 
milk  a  day  it  would  be  to-  your  advant¬ 
age  to  replace  100  lbs.  of  the  oats  with 
100  lbs.  of  gluten  meal.  This  combina¬ 
tion  is  intended  for  Winter  feeding. 
If  the  cows  are  still  out  to  pasture,  a 
simple  mixture  consisting  of  400  lbs.  corn, 
300  lbs.  oats,  200  lbs.  cottonseed  meal, 
100  lbs.  linseed  meal  is  proposed. 
Dairy  Ration 
Will  you  compound  a  ration  for  a  Hol¬ 
stein  dairy  cow,  fresh  this  Pall?  I  have 
at  hand  clover  hay,  oats,  corn.  e.  d.  h. 
For  Holstein  cows,  with  clover  hay, 
oats  and  corn  available,  either  of  the 
following  formulm  would  give  good  re¬ 
sults  and  provide  a  ration  yielding  about 
20  per  cent  of  protein  : 
1.  Corn  and  cob  meal,  400  lbs. ;  ground 
oats,  200  lbs. ;  cottonseed  meal,  200  lbs. ; 
linseed  meal,  200  lbs. 
2.  Corn  and  cob  meal,  400  lbs. ;  ground 
oats,  200  lbs. ;  cottonseed  meal,  150  lbs. ; 
linseed  meal,  150  lbs. ;  gluten  feed,  100 
lbs. 
Ration  No.  2  is  less  concentrated  than 
No.  1,  and  would  be  more  palatable,  due 
to  the  presence  of  the  gluten  feed.  We 
have  not  included  any  bran  in  this  com¬ 
bination,  because  you  have  oats  available, 
and  we  are  assuming  that  you  will  feed 
plenty  of  clover  hay.  Make  sure  that  the 
cows  have  access  to  salt,  and  feed  the  in¬ 
dividual  animals  in  proportion  to  their 
daily  production  of  milk. 
The  ration  for  your  dry  cows  can  be 
limited  to  corn,  oats  and  clover  hay. 
Bitter  Milk 
I  have  an  old  cow,  which  has  had  seven 
or  eight  calves.  She  is  a  very  good  milk¬ 
er  ;  when  fresh  she  milks  between  31  and 
32  quarts,  by  weight.  The  last  time  she 
calved,  last  year,  her  milk  was  bitter 
about  four  months  before  she  was  fresh. 
She  will  be  fresh  again  now  on  January 
11,  1924.  Is  there  anything  I  can  do  to 
put  her  milk  iu  condition  in  the  feeding 
line?  I  realize  she  is  getting  old,  but 
when  you  have  a  bread-winner  like  this 
one  she  is  hard  to  part  with.  f.  m.  e. 
The  reason  why  the  old  cow’s  milk  was 
hitter  was  because  she  was  milked  too 
close  to  calving  time.  When  cows  reach 
this  age  they  frequently  require  an  ex¬ 
tended  rest  period,  especially  if  they  are 
persistent  milkers  and  yield  as  much  milk 
as  you  have  reported.  By  all  means  take 
all  of  the  grain  away  from  this  cow  at 
once  and  dry  her  up  as  quickly  as  pos¬ 
sible.  Feed  her  only  hay  and  water  until 
the  flow  of  milk  ceases  and  there  is  no 
inflammation  apparent  in  the  udder. 
After  the  udder  appears  completely  dried 
up  you  can  begin  feeding  a  grain  ration 
consisting  of  equal  parts  of  corn,  oats  and 
bran,  to  which  has  been  added  15  per  cent 
of  linseed  meal.  Feed  from  5  to  7  lbs.  of 
this  ration  daily  during  the  balance  of  the 
dry  period  in  conjunction  with  hay  of  a 
good  quality. 
Reduce  the  grain  and  feed  largely  bran 
for  the  week  or  10  days  previous  to  calv¬ 
ing,  and  do  not  increase  the  grain  allow¬ 
ance  until  all  of  the  inflammation  is  out 
of  the  udder.  Then  gradually  bring  her 
to  her  full  feed,  using  a  ration  consisting 
of  25  lbs.  bran,  40  lbs.  corn  meal,  40  lbs. 
oats,  15  lbs.  linseed  meal,  10  lbs.  cotton¬ 
seed  meal,  20  lbs.  gluten  feed.  This  will 
make  a  batch  of  150  lbs.  If  the  cow  gives 
as  much  as  30  quarts,  or  60  lbs.  of  milk  a 
day,  this  much  feed  will  last  her  about  10 
days.  In  addition,  provide  hay  of  a  good 
quality,  and  much  would  be  gained  by 
feeding  dried  beet  pulp  to  provide  succu¬ 
lence.  Four  or  five  pounds  of  the  dry 
pulp  thoroughly  saturated  with  water 
should  be  divided  equally  between  two 
feedings,  morning  and  night. 
You  are  quite  right  in  suggesting  that 
family  cows  of  such  production  are  not 
common.  I  feel  sure  that  precautions  as 
given  above  will  enable  you  to  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  her  milking  qualities. 
Horse  With  Worms 
We  have  a  horse  that  has  stomach 
worms.  Is  there  any  way  to  get  rid  of 
them?.  He  kicks  the  side  of  the  stall  and 
sometimes  squeals  at  the  same  time. 
Amesbury,  Mass.  g.  e.  g. 
Perhaps  the  most  satisfactory  way  of 
eliminating  stomach  worms  is  to  give  the 
horse  twice  daily  with  his  grain  feed  a 
heaping  tablespoon  of  a  mixture  consist¬ 
ing  of  equal  parts  of  powdered  gentian 
and  ferrous  sulphate.  Continue  this 
treatment  for  five  or  six  days.  At  the 
end  of  this  period  purge  the  horse,  either 
by  means  of  a  physic  ball,  which  you  can 
obtain  from  your  veterinarian,  or  give 
him  a  bran  mash  and  some  legume  hay 
without  the  usual  allowance  of  grain.  If 
this  treatment  fails  to  produce  the  de¬ 
sired  results  during  the  first  period,  re¬ 
peat  it  after  an  interval  of  three  or  four 
days.  Give  the  horse  a  comfortable  bed, 
and  do  not  permit  him  to  eat  too  much 
hay. 
A  grain  ration  consisting  of  five  parts 
of  oats,  two  parts  of  cornmeal  with  a 
sprinkling  of  linseed  meal,  two  parts  of 
bran,  makes  a  useful  mixture  for  horses. 
The  grain  should  be  decreased  on  idle 
days  and  increased  on  working  days. 
WHEN  you  set  out  to  buy  cows  for 
your  herd,  why  don’t  you  buy 
scrubs  ?  They  don’ t  cost  as  much 
as  good  ones. 
Of  course,  the  reason  you  don’t  is  that 
there’s  more  profit  in  the  good  ones. 
It’s  the  same  with  buying  feed. 
LARRO  is  worth  more  than  other  ra¬ 
tions  for  the  same  reason  that  good  cows 
are  worth  more  than  scrubs. 
The  reason  lies  in  highest  quality  in¬ 
gredients — in  the  standardizing  of  these 
ingredients  before  mixing — the  removal 
of  all  foreign  material,  such  as  tags, 
lumps,  bits  of  wood,  nails  and  every  par¬ 
ticle  of  iron  and  steel — in  the  perfect 
proportioning  of  each  ingredient  accord¬ 
ing  to  a  formula  adequate  for  every  re¬ 
quirement  of  safety,  condition,  health 
and  milk. 
LARRO  will  make  you  more  money 
over  cost  than  any  other  ration.  We 
guarantee  that — absolutely .
