receive d Ii lie milk from cash quar-
ter of the uuder of single COW and
then resealed. All were brought to
the station and upon examination. the
odor was found only in the milk of one
COW. The owner rejected her milk
and heard no further complaint. from
the dealer of bad smells. This was
the practical point; and it was thus
easily and simply gained-New York

EnsiIage Lengths.
In common practice, ensilage is
cut in lengths varying from one-half
inch to one inch. Could it be cut into
lengths of about three-quarters of an
inch it would meet the requirements.
Where ensilage is cut long there is
considerable waste, because cattle do
not relish the coarse butt ends of the
stalks. Where cut in short places
there is almost no waste, but cattle
will clean up practically the whole
feed.
Acute celuiitis.
My heifers are going blind in one
eye, or partly in both. At first their
eyes get watery and run, and then in
q few days they get covered with a
white coating Lately after the mat
ter is gone, the pupil is red, and looks
as if it was cut with knife" From a
reader of Hoards Dairyman, this
answer 10 returned.
Keep the affected animals in dark
place and apply bandage which has
been soaked in a per cent. solution
of belladonna, and renew the applica-
ton twice or three times daily. Give
the following in food: Quinine sui
phate, o.; dried sulphate of iron, 2
ozs.; powdered gentian root, 2 ozs. !;
Mix and give a large teaspoonful at a
dose, until relieved.
Good Profit.
+. S. Cowles of Sibley, Kansas. is a
dairyman of the business type. He
knows not only how to combine feeds
economically, but he knows how to
weed out his herd so as to make every

which has been especially severe in
the dry weather of the past summer,
his section of the country, his record
for the past year shows brain as well
as muscular exercise. Mr. Cowles'
record, as sent in for the year ending
September 1, is as follows:
The milk was sent to Sibley Skim
ming station.
Average number of cows, 10.
Total amount received for butter
fat, s55196.
Average per COW, $5519.
From the skim milk fed to hogs
and calves, 5000.
Average skim milk per COW, $40
Total per COW income, $75.19.
Cost of feed, per COW, $40.
Net profit, per COW, s13.19.
These cows are grade Jerseys,
Guernseys, and one Holstein. They
were bought up around the country
at an average cost of $31 so. The feed
consists of clover hay, corn fodder
and cane for roughness; bran and
corn chop, equal parts by weight, for
in both cases.
The attention of those dairymen
who value skim milk at ten cents per
hundred is called to the fact that at
the above figures the skim milk must
have been worth nearly thirty cents
per hundred. The only difference is
that Mr.. Cowles mixed knowledge
with his skim milk, and the ten-cent
man mixed his skinned milk with igno-
rance. The returns are proportional

Sore Teats.
Sore teats is rather vague; it may
mean anything, as reference to the
definition of sore in a dictionary will
show you, and an ointment that would
be good for sore teats arising from
one cause is not necessarily good for
all. The term is perhaps most fire.
quently applied to chronic arythema,
a disease of the skin of the teats in
which there are chaps or cracks, with
alterations of a sluggish character. 1t
may occur under a variety of circum-
stances, but the trouble is mainly
onfined to newly-calved animals. In
cows with very delicate skins this
disorder is very liable to develop and
it is difficult to cure, owing to the
necessity for regular milking. Some
times imperfect removal Of the milk
on account of the soreness of teats
gives rise to a worse trouble in the
shape of mammitis and loss of one or
more quarters. Wet milking and
leaving the teats wet in cold weather,
is fertile source Of teat soreness.
TIL proper thing to do is to treat each
case on it's merits, but perhaps the
most useful dressing to keep on hand
for general purposes is camphor and
elder ointment. ANY chemist will
supply you with such a compound, or
! 1t may be made by mixing one-half
ounce of finely powdered camphor
with four ounces of elder ointment
Another useful dressing, especially
when flies are troublesome, is the
glycerine and carbolic acid. In
many cases 1t is necessary to draw of
the milk by means of a teat tube or
syphon.-Farm and Home, (Eng)
