DAIRYING DURING FLY TIME
Two Most Needed Things Are sprayer
and Repellent-cool Blanket
is Also Beneficial.
By NJ. A. CovERDELL)


A good sprayer and reliable fly re-
pellent will pay for themselves about
twenty times during the fly season, to
say nothing of the comfort afforded
the animals and the satisfaction you
will derive from milking a quiet COW.
II you don't feel like investing in a
spraying outfit. have your wife make
you a long, cool blanket out Of cheese
cloth or some other light material and
spread it over the COW while milking.
This. however. is beneficial at milk
ing time only. The one thing that will
prevent the flies from sucking the life
blood and consequently the milk from
the best of your herd, Is to spray, and
spray thoroughly while you are at It,
See that the COWS have some sort
of good shade. They simply cannot
stand out in the scorching heat all day
and do as well as they would If pro-
tected from the midday sun.
If natural shade is not available, 1t
will take you but an hour or so to set
some tall posts and make satisfac-
tory shade out of small brush, old
straw or boards. The COWS must have
shade.
Too many farmers let their COWS
rustic water from foul sloughs or from
a tank filled with water warm enough
to wash dishes in.
This is not merely question OF
comfort and satisfaction TO the cows
Neither is it necessary simply to add
to your dairy products.
Sanitation demands that the princi
pal element entering into the compo
sition of milk be strictly pure-fre'
from every vestige of disease or filth

HANDY MILK BOTTLE CARRIER
Wire Clips Instantly Engage Neck of
Bottle and Can Be Released
Almost Instantly.

A bottle-carrier particularly design
ed for milk bottles. but useful for 9TH
ers with large mouths or for jars, has
been patented by a Maryland man.
Two pieces Of wire are bent into
square form at one end and semi-cir-
cular form at the other. When con-
nected the square ends form clips to
engage the neck of the bottle. When
these handles are spread apart the
circle formed by the two clips is at
