Quality as Well as Quantity 
“I have used Larro for over 9 years and there is 
nothing that will duplicate it. Larro is the best milk 
feed there is. It does increase milk production.” 
JOSEPH NOWAK, Thompsonville, Conn. 
“We have a herd of 15 Holstein cows which give 
nearly as much milk as some of our neighbors who are 
milking 25. My father says it is all in the feed. We 
feed Larro.” H . E. COLE, Epping, N. H. 
Good Condition and High Production 
Where Other Feeds Had Failed 
‘ ‘My first sack of Larro ruined my patronage for other 
feeds with the exception of Larro. From that one sack 
I got an increase in milk and as I kept on using Larro I 
got better results. I wouldn’t give one sack of Larro for 
any two sacks of other feed I have ever used.” 
‘ ‘We have fed enough Larro to test it thoroughly. We 
find it an excellent milk producer—at the same time 
keeping the heavy producer in good flesh.” 
O. O. BUSCHLEN, Bad Axe, Mich. 
E. H. BAKER, Ironton, Ohio. 
* ‘We have been feeding Larro for several months in a 
test with several other feeds, with results which are 
highly favorable to Larro.” 
‘ ‘My cows are in the ‘pink ’ of condition and produce 
heavily. Four of my cows have tipped the scale at 60 
lbs. of milk in one day; two of them have reached 65%" 
and 643^ lbs.—cows that were producing very little 
milk on all kinds of miscellaneous feeds. This is my 
result from feeding Larro and I shall continue to feed 
same as long as I have cows.” 
A. HERBERT, Westport, Mass. 
Larro for Long-Time Results 
‘ ‘We started with one cow for our own family use and 
now we are keeping between 400 and 500 head on our 
farm, and the cows we started with and have been milk¬ 
ing for more than 12 years are yet profitable producers. 
We are glad that we commenced our dairying experience 
in feeding Larro and have never changed since our 
beginning with our family milk cow.” 
WHITE BELT DAIRY, Lemon City, Fla. 
“Your feed is the best feed on the market, as it pro¬ 
duces the richest milk and cream. We have tried other 
feeds but have not found them satisfactory. We have 
used Larro for over 7 years.” 
H. A. COUCH, New Milford, Conn. 
“We have fed Larro along with other dairy rations 
and it gives us better results than any we have tried. 
We also find the longer we keep the cows on Larro, the 
better they milk.” 
W. B. BRADSHAW, Cartersville, Ga. 
PEYTON T. GISH, Mt. Sydney, Va. 
For Young Stock and Old 
“I have two cows milking 100 lbs. of milk on 10 lbs. 
of feed apiece a day. If I could get alfalfa, I think I 
could get 60 lbs. from these cows apiece on 12 lbs. of 
Larro. One of these cows is 17 years old.” 
C. C. ROBINSON, Annapolis, Md. 
“We think Larro feed is certainly great, and our 
whole herd looks fat and nice, and has produced lots of 
milk this winter. We have one cow 14 years old that 
gives 42 lbs. of milk a day. We feed the calves on 
Larro and like the feed.” 
L. E. WETMORE, Canfield, Ohio. 
For Economy and Profit 
‘ ‘I have thoroughly tried out practically all standard 
makes of dairy feed and mixed many kinds myself, but 
have found nothing which will produce as much milk of 
fine quality—a regular amount—and keep the cows in 
fine condition like Larro does. It will give me at least 
15% to 25% more profit than anything else I have ever 
.yfound. If I had used it exclusively for the past five 
years, I would have saved many thousands of dollars.” 
LORING BROWN, Orlando, Fla. 
* ‘I use Larro as ever and am satisfied with the results 
from it. I did try some cheaper feeds, but lost out in 
production and was out money in the long run.”

Holsteins Lead in Live Stock 
Exhibit at State Fair 
T T OLDING its own in comparison with 
* -I previous live stock shows at Kyra 
cuse, the 84th State Fair brought together 
an aggregation of herds and flocks that 
contained some of the best individuals in 
the live-stock world. Entries in the cattle 
division were not quite as numerous as in 
past years, but the small decrease in 
numbers was offset by a showing that 
ranked high in quality. Particularly is 
this true of the Holsteins. The breeders 
of the Black and White staged one of the 
strongest Holstein exhibits in years. 
Sheep and swine were the best ever seen 
at Syracuse. The same can be said of the 
draft and breeding horse classes. " The 
new Coliseum enabled the horsemen to 
show their animals to advantage for the 
first time at the Fair. ' In previous years 
the horse judging has been held in an 
outdoor ring., 
A material falling off in numbers was 
noticeable in the county herd exhibits. 
The Holstein County associations had 
the largest number of entries and the 
Ayrshire associations were not repre¬ 
sented at all. Erie County was awarded 
the blue ribbon in the Holstein exhibit, 
while Cayuga County captured first hon¬ 
ors for the Guernseys. Onondaga County 
won second place in both the Holstein 
and Guernsey classes. 
Need for Sheep-Judging Pavilion 
The need of proper facilities for judg¬ 
ing sheep and swine is very evident. 
Under the present system the judges and 
exhibitors are compelled to work in the 
alleyways between the pens—a system 
that is by no means fair. Both the 
quality and quantity of the sheep and 
swine shown at Syracuse warrant proper 
provision being made for judging. The 
cost of building a judging ring would not 
be so large as to be prohibitive. 
Holsteins Lead 
In number of entries the Holstein led, 
with the Guernseys, Jerseys and Ayrshires 
following in the order given. Over 900 
herd of cattle, including dairy, dual pur¬ 
pose, and beef types, made up the cattle 
show. In many of the classes, particu¬ 
larly among the Jerseys, Guernseys, and 
Holsteins, there was keen competition for 
places at the head of the line. Consider¬ 
able rivalry developed in the Holstein 
aged cow class with over thirty animals 
entered. The presence of a number of 
western herds did much to make the 
Holstein show such a strong one. Har¬ 
grove & Arnold, of Norwalk, Iowa, 
Pinery Farms of Mentor, Ohio and Yates 
Farm of Orchard Park, N. Y., showed the 
top placings among the Black and 
W hites. The royal purple went to Pinery 
Farms on their aged bull. King Pietertje 
Jewel Korndyke, and to Hargrove and 
Arnold’s three-year-old cow, Dorothy 
Ormsby Piebe. 
In the Ayrshire classes the lion’s share 
of the awards went to Adam Seitz & 
Son of Waukesha, Wis., Lippitt Farm of 
Providence, R. I., Ash-Grove Farm of 
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and Alta Crest 
Farms of Spencer, Mass. Adam Seitz 
and Alta Crest Farm divided honors in 
both the champion and grand champion 
classes; the grand champion bull award 
going to Cavalier’s Ping Pong, which 
heads the Adam Setiz’s herd, while the 
purple rosette for grand champion cow 
was awarded Buttonhill Mabel Chance, 
Imp., from the Alta Crest herd. 
Guernseys and Jerseys Strong 
Both the Guernseys and Jerseys had 
strong classes in practically every case. 
It was the general opinion that the 
Jerseys showed more of a tendency to¬ 
ward farmer-bred cows than toward the 
highly bred product of the large breeding 
1 estate. Roekeliffe Farm of Golden’s 
Bridge, R. I., took the grand champion 
award on their aged bull Fern’s Noble 
Oxford Sultan. The grand champion 
cow was Queen Plymouth of Lehigh, 
owned by E.lm Hill Farm, Brookfield, 
Mass.
