MILK FEVER.

Milk fever as a rule occurs only
with the high producing COWS, and
usually when the animal is three
years or more old. Those that are
we'll fed and in the best of condition
at calving time are most subject to
the disease. Usually the disease is
easily recognized. The symptoms are
restlessness and excitement shown by
the COW, paralysis of the hind quar-
ters, staggering, and finally falling to
the ground. The head is invariably
turned to one side with muzzle point
ing to the flank. There is very little
if any milk in the udder.
No medicine should be given for it
will usually go to the lungs rather
than to the stomach. The whole body
is paralyzed, and the medicine would
do very little good. The cause of the
disease seems to be unknown, al
though it is thought that the milk
secreting cells having been lying dor
mant for long period are suddenly
called upon to perform their function,
and the rush of milk-producing ma
terial comes with such force that it

able air is often incorporated in
separated cream, especially when fat
con tent is thirty per cent or above,
and oftentimes it becomes so light
as to make it necessary to use 20 C.
C. to make an 18-gram sample.
The above figures show that it will
be impossible to obtain an accurate
test of cream by measuring 1t IN a
common pipette as we do the milk.
1t must be weighed on delicate
balance. Less acid must be used for
cream than for milk, the amount de-
pending upon the percentage of fat.
For an 18-gram sample trifie more
than one-half the amount used for
milk is usually sufficient.
A method for calculating the per-
centage Of fat in cream when the per
cent of fat in the milk is known, and
the weight of the milk taken before
separation, is to determine the pounds
of fat in the original milk, and after
separation, weigh the cream. This
weight OF the cream divided into the
pounds of fat in the cream assuming
there is no fat in the Eskim milk
multiplied by 100 gives the percentage
of fat in the cream. 1t is. customary
errors due to small losses in separa-
ton.

paralyzes them. They can be stimu-
lated to action by the air treatment
as follows: Clean filtered air having
been passed through absorbent cotton
is pumped by means of any air pump,
such as is used for bicycles into each
quarter of the cows udder. AS soon
as one quarter is pumped full, tape
is tied around the teat to prevent the
air from escaping. The udder be-
comes greatly distended, and the
pressure that occurs usually effects a
cure. Generally less than an hour is
required, but sometimes it takes two
or three hours. and two or more in
jections of air to bring about the re-
suits. 1t is best to keep the udder
distended with air for twenty four
hours at least and the calf should not
be allowed to suck during that time.
1t is essential that all parts of the
apparatus, and especially the milk
tube be thoroughly sterilized before
using so as not to infect the udder
and cause Inflammation.

Questions and Answers.
600

Question: Do you know anything
about the Butterfly Or the King SAM
tary Separator as to their life and
skimming qualities? What are the
most essential points to consider in
separator? B. J. d. Lyle, Wash.
Answer: The two separators men,
toned by you are not known to us.
The most essential points to consider
in the selection of separator are in
the order of their Importance as
follows: First. durability, which in
cludes construction of bowl, frame
and gearing; second, simplicity of
the bowl and gearing; third, the
efficiency. I prefer to put the eff
cheney last because at this age if a
separator is to sell at all, it must skim
fairly clean and you will find that
when machines are new they will all
skim practically the same. Some
machines are much longer lived than
others; hence the durability must be
considered first.
Question: [ would like to get in
formation regarding the starting of a
cooperative creamery. We have
about 10 COWS in the neighborhood
from which to get cream, and: my
plan was to make a strictly fancy
article and thereby get good price
for the product Will you please give
me your opinion as to the advisability
of such plan? B. G. Myers Falls,
Wash.
Answer: For a cooperative cream
cry we should have at least 400 COWS
and they should be within radius of
about five miles of the creamery. In
many cases, however, farm diaries
have made profit on butter from a
fewer number of COWS and that may
be the proposition that you have in
mind. You will find it almost impos-
sible. however, to control the output
of cream under the conditions that
YOU have mentioned. Ii all the COWS
we're on one farm under the supervi-
sion of one man this could be done,
| but il you have four or five COWS scat
tered here and there the cream Will
come in in bad shape and it will be
impossible to command fancy price
for your product because you Will be
unable to keep up the quality.
would not consider it wise move to
attempt to organize creamery under
YOUR conditions. You must have a
larger number of COWS.

Rev. Palmer PetitiOned

One of the most spontaneous express
sions of good will which has ever come
from the people of Las Vegas to one
of her citizens was the petition signed
by every man or woman to whom it
was presented asking that Dr.. Palmer
remain in charge of the work of the
M. E. Church in Vegas another year.
The conference at which the assign
ments to the various fields will be
made will occur next September. So
desirous are those who know DR.. Palm
er and his estimable wife the best to
have them remain in Vegas that the
petition referred to was circulated, re-
ceiving probably more signatures than
anything of that nature ever circulated
here. DR.. Palmer is just closing his
third years work here, and while all
recognise the justice of his desire to
enter larger field which has been of
fered him, the people are a unit in
wishing him to stay.

look over the valley.
f. II. Snyder has gone to Salt Lake
City on mining business of this section.
We are having the growing weather
now, and the alfalfa is making rapid
growth and will be ready to cut the
second time in ten days. To prove
that this story has no connection with
the Isaac Walton crowd, | send you
under separate cover a bunch of the
famous fodder plant of the second
growth for this season. AS we have
raised the record for sugar content of
the beet, we shall soon be making a
record for the alfalfa, for which this
soil, being a limestone formation, is
especially adapted. Potatoes and other
vegetables, rhubarb and asparagus
raised in this soil are perfection in
quality, so it looks as though this val
ley was capable and will soon be
material contributor to Uncle Sans
larder.

Better Farminu.

We acknowledge receipt of the first
number of a new publication named
Better Farming, which is published
by the University of Nevada agricul-
tural experiment station and turned
out of the state printing office in AN
attractive form by Joe Farnsworth,
the state printer.
We recognize the new publication as
most valuable addition to the state
press. It's scope as outlined in the in
PRODUCTION will be to present to the
people of the state popular articles up

Young Man Loses Hand.

A young boy about fourteen years of
age, relative of some of the officials
of the Arden Plaster Co., lost his hand
through having it caught in a fiber
shredder at the Arden plaster plant
Saturday last. 1t seems that the lad
had the habit, when passing near the
shredder, of throwing a piece of rope
or something of that nature into the
swiftly revolving teeth Of the machine.
Letting his left hand in too far, it was
caught by the machine and gradually
drawn in while the cruel teeth stripped
the flesh and bone into bunch of bloody
tibres as far as the wrist Through
the presence of mind of man working
near, who threw off the belt and seized
the boy around the waist in an awful
struggle to prevent him from being
drawn into the machine bodily, the
young mans life was saved.
DR.. Martin was notified by wire and
Immediately went to Arden by auto,
placing the suffering boy on the train
and going to Los Angeles with him.
where the hand was amputated at the
wrist Sunday morning. If no unfore-
seen complications set in the lad will
recover.

J. w. Scott, civil engineer and land
expert, and connected with the Prin-
cipia Land Co. of Los Angeles, spent
two days in the valley and made a
thorough examination Of soil and water
conditions. He reports the soil of this
valley amongst the finest on the Pacific
slope, and very rich in lime and shell
mari, and lacking only sufficient nitro
gen, which can be provided by any
green crop. to make it land of wonder
full productiveness. 1t is especially
adapted to the growing of pears. The
water conditions he finds excellent, and
is much surprised at the quality of the
water in all parts of the valley and be-
lieves, the undeveloped quantity of sur
face water, there is an artesian STRAIT
um which will be developed in the near
future. Having made such a thorough
examination of every phase of condi-
tions, he is so impressed with the pos
sibilities of this locality the writer had
permission to state that j. w. Scott
inside of thirty days would be one of
the boosters of this beautiful valley.
Clark County is to be congratulated
in having such d gem to. boost along
with it's many other attractions.
Mr.. Scott left Ripley Sunday for
Las Vegas to look over conditions
there, after which he will go to Los
Angeles, where the plans for the i'm
mediate operations here will be start

James interchangeable, one of the
principals of the Azurite Mining Co.,
was visitor at Ripley Sunday, and
looked over part of the valley and
noticed the thrifty and healthy appear
ance of the fruit trees, alfalfa, etc.,
and so impressed with the future of
this country that he also joins the

COUNTY EXHIBIT
AN EYE OPENER
Products of Clark County Shown
at Reno AStOniSh the
BehOlderS.

Las Vegas and Clark County made a
hit in Reno during the recent G. A. r.
encampment and Grand Lodge ses-
sions with AN exhibit of products that
surprised the natives and visitors to
the northern city.
The exhibit was arranged by Mr.. Z. w.
G. riffith for the Las Vegas Chamber of
Commerce and was first placed in the
city hall and later, by invitation, in
the handsome rooms of the Reno Com
mercial Club.
There were several varieties of
grains and forage, including wheat
three feet high, harvested May 4; rye
four feet high, harvested May 1st; bar
ley 80 inches high. fully headed and
we'll filled; corn six and a half feet high
six weeks after planting, and alfalfa
from the second cutting four feet high
cut June 9th. 1t should be borne in
mind that in the northern valleys two
cuttings per season is the limit and
often only one good cutting is secured,
while here in the Vegas and Moapa
Valleys, the alfalfa has already fur
nished two full cuttings and will easi-
ly provide four more, the third cutting
being now well on its way to maturity.
Ripe peaches from the Moapa Valley
were also an attractive feature, aston
ishing to the northern people. Other
fruits in various stages of maturity
were apples, figs, grapes, prunes,
plums apricots, almonds and English
walnuts.
In the vegetable line there were
squash 1.-TWO varieties), turnips, cab
bages, onions, beets, lettuce and rad
ishes all ready for the table.
The exhibit was inspected by many
who were amazed that Nevada con-
tanned any locality which would pro-
duce such things at this season. The
Chamber of Commerce expresses its
thanks to the Reno Commercial Club
for the hospitality shown in allowing
the exhibit to be shown in its rooms
and for many courtesies to the visitors.
Thanks are also due to those con-
tributed the various exhibits, among
them being VIM. Laubenheimer, F. E.
Matzdorf, A. Matteuci and Geo. Grouse
of this city and Messrs. Lytle and
Shurtlff of Overton and others in that
locality.
