It’s Quality That Counts
In A Dairy Cow. . .
Progress and profits in the dairy industry call for milk-
producing quality in the breeds. To do justice to natural
milk-producing ability, feed your cows balanced rations,
containing protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Cotton-
seed meal and hulls have proved their quality, in well-
balanced dairy rations ... to supplement farm grains
and roughages.
