Every cow in your herd can be made to pro¬ 
duce up to her full capacity 
—if you look well to her ration, her health, 
her appetite and her digestion. 
Balance the ration. Feed bran, oats and 
corn, or their equivalent, cottonseed or linseed 
meal, clover hay, alfalfa, silage—pasture in 
season. 
Eemember, the better the appetite the 
greater the food consumption, the greater the 
milk production.

Milk and Meat Scrap in the 
Poultry Ration 
A New Discovery 
T he question is often asked why it 
is that we feed animal food. It is 
because of the presence of certain 
acids, particularly the various amino 
acids, which are all important in 
growth, production and vigor, accord¬ 
ing to Professor Hervey, of the New 
Jersey Station. Meat scrap contains 
these acids in a more available condi¬ 
tion than a great many other animal 
foods. He claims there is nothing that 
we have as a commodity at the present 
time that is as good as meat scrap. 
Powdered buttermilk, or any other 
milk, fed in the dry state, might log¬ 
ically be included in the dry mash, but 
as an additional ingredient for the pur¬ 
pose of adding variety, and therefore 
making the dry mash a little more pal¬ 
atable—in other words, to create a 
greater consumption of mash by the 
birds. Powdered buttermilk, powdered 
skim^ milk, and, of late, semi-solid but¬ 
termilk, reduced to the powdered state, 
have come to be used more or less gen¬ 
erally by commercial people. 
Dry or Semi-solid ■ Milk 
The question has arisen whether one 
can afford to feed powdered buttermilk 
and semi-solid buttermilk; also whether 
one is a substitute for the other. The 
New Jersey Station has been recom¬ 
mending the use of semi-solid butter¬ 
milk as an adjunct to the other feeds, 
in the solid form, at the rate of three 
pounds per 100 birds daily. Semi¬ 
solid buttermilk in this form is a good 
tonic. It contains lactic acid bacteria, 
which help to ward off other disease 
germs, and therefore serves to keep the 
birds in a good, healthy condition. 
The other milk products in the dry 
st*te he does not believe are as effi¬ 
cient as semi-solid buttermilk in this 
particular respect. However, their use 
is logical in a dry mash because of the 
other properties of palatability an di¬ 
gestibility. This does not in any sense 
discourage the use of dry milk. Meas¬ 
ured from a dollars and cents stand¬ 
point, it is questionable whether the 
poultrymen can afford to feed the two. 
Satisfactory production can be secured 
without the use of either one, but 
the use of semi-solid buttermilk in the 
winter period has a very good effect in 
preparing the body for the vigorous 
strain on the system that the spring 
laying season demands. 
SUNFLOWERS FOR POULTRY 
W’'e started in the poultry business in a 
gmall way last spring. We have a large field 
of sunflowers that have headed out fine. Will 
you kindly tell us something of the food value 
of the sunflower seeds for laying hens?—Mrs. 
W. J. O., New York. , 
Sunflowers are considered very good 
for poultry. They are about equal to 
corn in digestive crude protein. How¬ 
ever, they contain abput half as much 
total digestive nutrients. In other 
words, sunflowers alone would not con¬ 
stitute a balanced ration. They may 
well be mixed in a scratch feed. In 
fact, some of the best commercial 
scratch feeds on the market contain a 
fair proportion of sunflower seeds. 
It is usually advisable to slightly 
crush sunflower seeds by rolling some 
heavy object over them. This breaks 
the hard outer coat and also facilitates 
digestion. Some poultry keepers do 
not mix their sunflowers with the other 
grains, but keep them in a special 
hopper on alternate days during the 
late fall and early winter. It is best 
to start cautiously when feeding sun¬ 
flower seeds to poultry, as the sudden 
change may have a deleterious action.

Makes Hens Lay 
Any poultry raiser can easily and 
quickly double his profits by doubling 
his egg yield through the remarkable 
discovery of M. B. Smith, a Kansas 
City chemist. 
Working along 
entirely original 
lines, iMr. Smith 
(liseovercd why 
hens lay less in 
winter than in 
summer, and per¬ 
fected a formula 
that turns loafers 
into layers and 
profit makers. 
Within five or six days this discovery, 
which is called Ditto Egg Tablets, will re¬ 
juvenate your flock. Your hens will go 
strutting and cackling about willi red combs 
and full of life and pep. Every nest will 
yield an egg nearly every day in the week, 
which means a lot, since eggs are certain 
to sell for 60 cents or more. This is not 
guess work as over 100,000 successful poultry 
raisers testify to the value of Mr. Smith’s 
products. 
Although different from anything you ever 
heard of. Ditto Egg Tablets are easily ad¬ 
ministered by simply dx"opping in drinking 
water. 
So confident is Mr. Smith you can double 
or triple your egg yield, that he offers to 
send two large $1 packages of Ditto Egg 
Tablets (enough for a season) to any reader 
who will write for them. If you are satisfied 
they cost only $1 on this introductory offer, 
otherwise, nothing. 
Send No Money—just your name and ad¬ 
dress to M. B. Smith, 1210 Coca Cola Bldg., 
Kansas City, Mo. The two .$1 packages will 
be mailed immediately. When they arrive, 
pay the postman only ,$1 and postage. Use 
the tablets 10 days. If you are not getting 
more eggs or are not satisfied for any rea¬ 
son, simply return unused tablets and your 
money will be returned immediately without' 
question. A big Kansas City hank guaran¬ 
tees the reliability of this offer. Write todav 
before this introductory offer is withdrawn, 
as you can sell one package to a friend and 
thus get your own free.
