FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE
POUND OF. GRAIN.
National Crop improvement Service

National Crop improvement Seryice.]
c. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per cow per day and
nearly 5 cents per COW. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured &C.
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make a balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

FARMER FEED EXPERTS.
National Crop improvement service.l


A farmer who has devoted his life
time to the study of feeding generally
has more success through his common
sense methods than any scientific
analysis can supply. If such a feeder
could have on hand all of the in
gradients (most by-products of cereal
manufacturer, which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical, he could, through his ex-
perience, be very successful in mix
ing his feeds. But the difficulty with
the average man is to maintain an
economical ration from the products
of his own farm.
He may be an expert, if he chooses
to study out new ration every time
the market changes, but he generally
prefers to let someone who makes a
BUSINESS of mixing feeds do it for him.
No doubt the majority of users of
mixed feeds begin to buy it because
Of a shortage of forage and grain
crops on the farm.
If such a man will keep books he
will find that as a usual thing the
use of mixed stock feed is a mere mat
ter of arithmetic whether he could
buy the ingredients cheaper than he
could buy them in a so-called bal
anced" ration.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

National Crop improvement Service.1
It is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when it is considered that large
number of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found a
satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all, keeps cows
in perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations use and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names of mixed brands
which are best adapted to your pur-
pose.

TELLS HOW CITY PEOPLE CAN
AID IN INCREASING THE
SUPPLY OF FOOD.
DON'T SPONGE ON OTHERS
Says ThoughtIess Folk Make Unneces-
sary Work for Their Friends
in the Country Who
Are Busy.

Madison, visa farmers wife has
suggested way in which Wisconsin
people can help cut down the cost of
living and thus help fight the war.
1t consists merely in being thought
full of others
In a letter to Mrs. H. H. Morgan,
the woman member of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, this housewife says:
Dear Madam:
eat your meetings of the Council
of Defense, and from now on will you
kindly make a plea for the conserva-
ton of the farmers wife's strength
and time.
The government is calling upon her
to plant gardens, can, dry, preserve,
ETC., all of which she is most willing
to do if she has the time and strength
The government is doing a great deal
to give her information, etc., but she
must have one thing more-a procla-
nation or else newspaper or magazine
publicity bringing before city people
the need for her to have her Sundays
for rest or recreation after her hard
weeks. work instead of spending it
waiting on endless crowds who come
in never-ending procession Sunday
after Sunday since the automobile has
come into general use.
1.-THE fact that she really loses two
days each week which she might be
using to help the government this
summer ought to bring this practice
into bad repute. Saturdays are spent
in extra baking, cooking, etc., and if
she is not too tired to work at all,
Mondays are spent in replenishing the
empty larder, washing table-linen,
Strengthening disOrdered house, ETC.,
caused by the Sunday crowds.
eff you can give the farmers wife's
plea sufficient publicity, many thought
less people will cease burdening thei
tired country friends and you will be
doing her the greatest service that
has ever been done.
OBVIOUSLY, this is a delicate subject
for the farmers wife to plead for her
self, and if she only did defend herself,
it would not help the millions of other
farm women who suffer likewise, SO
we have appealed to the heads of the
Council of Defense to defend us from
our friends-real or make believe
this busy summer, unless they bring
their lunches.
at surely is unpatriotic and should
be made unpopular through the press
for them to so burden us when we are
doing all this extra work in answer
to the Nations call so the city peo-
pie will have food this coming winter
and so sorely need the time and
strength instead of squandering it so
needleSsly.
1--WE would enjoy having people
come when we specially invite them.
of course, but we like to feel that we
will not be interrupted by two or thref
more automobile loads of folks who
wanted to go somewhere in the
country to spend the day."
eff you have any doubt of the truth
of this, ask any farmers wife or take
trip through the country on Sunday
and see the crowds at every farm
home and count the loss to the Ma
ton. Thanking you in advance,
shall watch for the result in the pa
napn
