BRIEF AGRIc LORE

Concerning hard mixers, DIR. David
Roberts, Wisconsin state veterinarian,
says: This trouble is due to an alb
normal contraction of the sphincter
muscles at the point of the teat and
oftentimes reduces the value of what
might have otherwise been valuable
COW as no one wishes to purchase or
own what il termed as hard mixer
but if stock owners knew how easily
this trouble could be overcome they
would never think Of disposing of a
hard mixer at sacrifice as is now be-
ing done by many.
"The mere fact that COW is hard
mixer does not indicate that she is not
good mixer, but owing to the fact
that she is hard mixer she is often
times neglected at milking time by a
disgusted mixer who leaves a large
quantity of milk in her udder that
should have been drawn out.
"Stockmen who know how to handle
such cases oftentimes buy valuable cows
owing to the fact that they are hard
mixers and by the use of teat plug
and few treatments for hard milking,
cause them to become splendid, easy
mixers, thereby increasing their value
many more times the cost of the treat
ment A milking tube should never be
used in such cases as there is too much
danger of infection and the results are
not as good as from the use OF teat

and uniting it with that of the FARM

Remember the Faithful Carrier.

The holiday seasC n approaches, bring
ing good cheer, blessings and pleasant
memories and rem entrances TO US.
While we are oursei yes receiving pre-
sents and rewards let as be just in our
treatment Of those who have served US
faithfully and well. In this connection
the CENSOR makes an appeal to the
patrons of rural mail routes to reward
their trusty carriers. Remember that
these men have served you in fair and
foul weather, on good or bad roads;
travelled dozen Of days when you would
rot feel that you could leave pleasant
firesides. Remember them with any
thing themselves or their families can
use, or that their faithful beasts of
burden can devo3r. These rura! car
riers are veritable army in this coun-
try today. There are now nearly 40,-
900 rural delivery men who carry the
letters and newspapers 10 the country
homes in the United States, and to-
gether Travelled last year more than a
million miles day. The rural delivery
service is now thirteen years old, and
il has been the greatest success of any
new idea that has been introduced into
the administration Of our government.
