ADVERTISEMENTS SIMPLE MIXTURE MAKES HENS LAY By W. S. Burgess Any poultry raiser can greatly in- crease his profits, easily; quickly and at little expense by taking advantage of the 35 years’ experience of a suc- cessful poultryman. A life long study of egg production has resulted in a formula of buttermilk and other in- gredients that puts pep into lazy hens. This formula is now put up in tablet form and is called Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets. Simply feed in water or mix with feed. I am so con- vinced that this wonderful formula is always successful that I say, kill the hen that won’t lay after using it. Try Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets on your own flock—if in 30 days your egg production hasn't greatly increas- ed, and your feed bills been reduced, and if every one of your flock isn’t healthy, the tablets cost you nothing. One million new wusers are wanted, so for a limited time any reader of this paper can get the big regular $2.50 box (enough for a season) of Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets for $1 prepaid, Simply write name on a slip of paper, pin check or dollar bill to it, mail to Mr. R. C. Combs, Mgr. Milk Products Co., 2106 i Central St., Kansa City, Mo., and in a short 1 time you can bank on getting more eggs.

The com- fort of the cows is essential to milk production. The illustration shows the interior of an up-to-date dairy barn at milking time. Mechanical milking devices are coming into more general use and are proving their efficiency. free catalog showing all types of this wonderful new | HE problem of what to feed dairy cows for milk production in the winter time must necessarily depend on 1local condi- tions and the' price of various feedstuffs. When this was being written, corn was higher priced than rye, and many farmers-in the Northwest were reported to be feed- ing rye in place of corn. For practical purposes the feeding values of rye and corn are nearly the same, insofar as digestible nutrients determine feeding value. The digest- ible nutrients in 100 pounds of corn is 85 per cent, while the digestible nutri- ents in rye is 81 per cent. Farmers who have experimented-with rye as feed are aware, however, that rye is not so palatable to livestock as corn. Successful dairymen are feeding what is known as a balanced ration and in such a ration, containing a suf- ficient amount of protein, carbohy- drates and fats to meet the require- ments of the animal, rye may be used in the place of corn without seriously upsetting the tissue-building propor- tions of the balanced ration. The following table gives the re- quirements for cows weighing 1,000 pounds giving various amounts of milk testing 4 per cent: - Daily milk Lbs. Lbs.

The cow should be fed all the roughage she will eat without waste “and for every three pounds of milk produced, give one pound of grain, or enough to keep them in good condition. Milk production depends on the comfort of the cows. The cows should be well housed in cold weather, and | their stalls bedded with straw or saw- dust. If bedding is impossible to ob- tain, the cows at least should have a smcoth surface on which to lie. Warming the drinking water for milch cows has been proved profitable and ‘the dairy farmer will find it to his advantage to invest in a tank heater. A Due to the high prices of feedstuffs, many farmers in the West will rough their cows through the winter. It goes without saying that “roughing” will diminish milk production, but the greatest loss to the farmer who fol- lows this plan rests in the fact that the cows are not ,n the proper condi- tion to produce well the followmg summer. In the last analysis this is a financial problem that every farmer must settle for himself. Millers Admit Big Profits Advertisement Shows Why - Nebraska Capitalists. Fear Growth of the Nonpartisan League Mondamin, Iowa. DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- er: Inclosed find clipping from the - Omaha Daily News. I thought it might be of interest and possibly of value to you in your fight for state ownership of industries, especially of flour mills. You will note I have underlined ‘what I considered the cardinal points I of the advertisement. I do not know much about the milling business, but_ it seems to me that profits ranging from 30 per cent to 50 per cent are exorbitant and that the organizers of a corporatlon whose outstanding argument ;is “returns” are profiteers of the worst variety. They are capitalizing one of the most essential necessities of the peo- ple and seem to take pride in so doing. If private concerns are doing such a profitable business in the making of flour and cereal products I hope that the state can do as well and, with PAGE EIGHT ADVERTISEMENTS L/ PACKED "IN WIRE-BOUND BOXES Direct From Our Fisheries to Inland Folks ' Wholesome, appetizing and delicious fish “FRESH FROM OUR NETS DAILY” Free from wvaste and scarce of bone—the kind that yourself and the family will enjoy.
