You know that both the quality and quantity of
ilk can be improved by systematic and proper
edng. The ordinary COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
year Will it pay you to make her yield 5000 pounds
year at small additional expense!
If a COW is going to give milk she must have
ian enough food to keep her alive. This food, which
reduces milk, must be made to give the best results
o obtain these results the must be in the best
DnditOn Or the highest degree OF her usefulness Will
OF be secured.
To secure the best condition-You must strength.
n the digestive organs.
Standard Food does this:
First by cleansing the stomach.
Second by producing healthy and copious flow
the stomach juices.
Healthy increase of appetite is source of direct
profit, for all food not consumed in maintaining the
ife Of the animal, goes to the production of milk
Cows that are poor mixers have weak digestion,
he result of which is poor blood and bad condition.
rhey eat little and get nourshment from what they
do eat
Standard Food makes good blood, good appetite
and good health. These conditions increase quality
and quantity of the milk.
Cows that are fair mixers need stimulation of their
digestive organs to develop their full milking capacity
Most of dairy belong to this class, and they
|are capable Of great Improvement Proper use of
standard Food increases the activity of the milky
GLANDS.
Cows that are good mixers without special care
feeding be greatly improved by the of regu-
lar allowance of Standard Food.
Suppose you feed COW IS pounds of feed a day,
which keeps her in condition but produces milk.
Now feed 81 pounds; which is all the COW will eat and
you may secure IA pounds OF milk per day.
With Standard Food as appetizer the COW would
eat and digest 80 pounds day. and in the pro-
portion give % pounds of milk In other words, Is
