BAL LANCED RATION tOl

The general opinion among dairy
men b that 1t seldom pays to feed
grain to cows on good pasture. says
the Kansas Farmer. While II may be
possible to increase the milk dow. this
increase costs SO much that there II
no actual profit. A number OF expert
ment stations have made tests. and the
results secured have pointed to simi-
lar conclusions. Very seldom. how
ever, do cows have all the pasture they
need for a very long period OF time.
When the pasture begins to fail the
milk fow falls OF and cannot be main-
tanned without supplemental feeding.
This Is especially true with heavy
milking cows.
The first and most important point.
from the standpoint Of economical pro.
duction. Is to be sure that the cows
have all the roushage they can handle
Extra green forage. silage or alfalfa
hay can be fei to make w the pasture

opmsnt Of Young Cattle.
The smaller dairy breeds develop ear
lier than the larger breeds. but we
doubt II 1t Is advisable. as a rule, to
have even Jersey heifers freshen be-
fore they are two years Of age. The
growth and future development Of the
heifer should always be considered. In
raising heifers for dairy purposes 1t Is
important that they be grown out to
as large a size as possible. The lar.
ser COWS Of any dairy breed are usual
ly more profitable than the small, under
sized cows Of the same breed. Heifers
that are bred too young are likely to
be stunted In their growth and never
make as large cows as they otherwise
would. We never liked the idea Of
permitting the herd sire to run In thu
pasture. says the Kansas Farmer.
When heifer freshens too early Il
Is good plan to extend the first lac.
tation period 30 as to give the animal
chance to overcome the stunting ef-

Hyomei Relieves Catarrh Without
the Use Of Dangerous Drugs.
Not until Hyomei was discovered
has 1t been possible TO truthfully say
that real remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei IL an oil and its air ia
breathed through . small inhaler fur.
nished with II for few minutes four
times day, and during that time
every particle Of this Hyomei, laden
air taken into the air passages and
lungs Is impregnated with q powerful
germ-killing and health-giving anti
septic
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders Of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases, and
never make q permanent cure OF ca
tarrh. But when the air of Hyomei
penetrates 10 the inmost air cells Of
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen it not only kills the germs
In the throat and nose, but kills the
bacilli In the b.ood, freeing the mu-
cous membranes from poisonous mi
crobes and giving perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and includes an inhaler. dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
G. A. Parcher had SO much faith in
the merit Of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
who Is not thoroughly satisfied.
