CLEAN THE Cows THE skin of a
COW is as necessary for the purifca-
ton of the blood as lungs are, and it
discharges in offensive vapor a great
er quantity of matter every day than
the kidneys do. While COW may
discharge 20 pounds of water
through the kidneys, she will take
into the stomach 100 pounds. The
50 pounds pass off through the skin
chiefly, and take along the waste
dead matter, which is thrown off
from the fine capillaries through the
pores of the skin, with the perspira
ton. When the milk has a cowy
odor you may sure the skin is not
working right and needs thorough
brushing to remove the scurf and
dried matter which covers up the
pores. And this is the reason why,
if we would have pure milk and
sweet butter, the card and the brush
must be in constant use in the COW
stable-A Dairy Farmer TN ". Y.

swelling. was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each tire it became more dis
tressing, because | began to think it was

How many dairymen consider
that, by buying a good bull, they may
in a few years grade up their herd
enough to pay for ten bulls.
When is the millennium coming

milk and cream? Dairymen, paste

have them printed in gold all over

Just try it, and let the "Bureau"
hear from you
The great want of the dairy over a
large part of our country is not more
COWS, but better COWS and better care
and feeding. The times call for in
tense methods in conducting the dali

Gown 20 the roots of things, affecting
the COW which produces the feed and
the method of dispensing the same,
from which the milk is produced.-

The patrons of the creamery met
with Messrs. Thayer and Kendall, at

The patrons of the creamery met
with Messrs. Thayer and Kendall, at
the Opera House in this village on
last week Wednesday evening, to
make arrangements for greater
flow of milk, also to fix the price of
milk for the winter months. It was
decided to throw down the bars and
allow all, whether stockholders or
not, to bring their milk. The price
to be paid for the months of Novem-
Der, December, January, February
and March is sI.25 per hundred
pounds. So far, the creamery has
paid the patrons far better than if
their milk was made III to cheese
on the dividend plan, and more than
if their milk had been kept at home
and their butter sold, nothwithstand-
ing the fact that butter has been
much higher than usual during the
past summer. Messrs. Thayer and
Kendall have met their obligations
promptly and have given good salts
faction to their patrons. The cream
cry so far has proved great benefit
to the farmers in this section, as it
has to the village, and now that all
can bring their milk without taking
stock, we trust that the amount of
business will be greatly increased,
and the creamery to prove to be a
greater success to all concerned
