we have had customers who desire g
| cream running higher than 20 per cent
/ in ia. but of course they are willing
to pay a little more for it, as naturally
/ IL was worth about half more than the
/ 20 per cent cream. When a man is
| selling a rs per cent cream under the
| impression that he is selling a 90 pei
| cent cream. he is not handling his bust
/ ness with much skill or care. nor has
ne adjusted his separator with any de-
| gree of accuracy. One should be able
to adjust the separator so as to make q
practically uniform cream from his owr
herd Of cows, as an average Of what
| the herd can do can easily be determin
| ed by the Babcock test. We would
prefer to make a uniform quality oil
cream running 90 per cent rather thar
| to make a richer cream and reduce il
to 20 per cent through use of whole
milk.
NEED OF A PROPERLY ADJUSTED

like 70 know what is the trouble with

remedy for the trouble.
The trouble with your hogs is prob
ably due to the fact that you are not
giving them a sufficient amount of food
or providing them with the exercise to
which they are properly entitled. 1
suggest that you give the following mix
ture to your hogs: wood charcoal,
pound; sulphur, l pound; sodium chic
ride, pounds; sodium bicarbonate.
pounds: sodium hyposulphate, pounds
sodium suphate, 1 pound, and anthony
sulphate, pound. These ingredients
should be thoroughly mixed together
The dose is a large tablespoonful for
each two hundred pounds weight of hogs
to be treated. Administer once daily,
mixing with sweet milk or In Cruel or
stopped feed which you may use.
If you are using corn alone discon-
tinue this practice Brood sows espe'
cially need something to build up bone
and tissue and to stimulate milk produc-
ton. Corn by itself is not satisfactory
for this purpose. mixture of one-half
corn and one-half shorts will be prefer
able We would prefer to feed shorts
exclusively for a while. We would pro.
vide the SOW with as much green food
as possible and afford her range on
which to Craze. Bermuda sod will an
swer very we'll for this purpose. sup
Elemental grazing crops should be pro-
yided such as cowpeas, soy oeans ana
peanuts. The affected parts If there is
much soreness evidenced, may be rub
he'd with a good. soothing lotion Such
as NAV be made from ounces OF
laudanum. 1 ounce of aconite tincture
and 5 ounces of soap liniment. rms Is
an excellent material TO use for reheV-

Horses suffering from this olsease
should have the shoes remoed ana oe

POSSIBLE. You might try putting the
horse in a stall with a clay floor. The
feet NAV be soaked in a tub of water
for two hours twice daily, wiped airy
and oiled with a dressing prepared py
melting together / ounce of turpentlne'
/ ounce of pine tar, ounces or oeeswaH
and a ounces of fish oil. This mixture
should be applied with a brush twice
daily TO all parts of the hoof. In the
absence of the hoof dressing, any gooo
oil or glycerine may be used. Horses
that are especially tender rooted are
sometimes benefited by shoeing with
broad webbed bar shoes with rubber
heel pads beneath. Light blisters APP
plied to the coronets once in four weeks
may be beneficial
A VALUABLE GRASS FOR GEOR-

A L. Riceboro, Ca. writes: would like
10 know what the enclosed sample or grass

The sample of grass enclosed is what
ia known as barnyard grass. It's scien-
tt6c name is Panicum crus-galH. II is
a coarse and leafy annual one to four
feet high 1t makes rank growth ana
is common in rich cultivated lands, oc-
curing frequently in the vicinity or
dwellings,. It seeds freely and makes
a rapid growth during the summer and
Yields abundantly on bottom lands. If
properly cured il often makes good
hay from land which but for the sponta-
neous growth of this grass would have
yielded the farmer nothing. In many
sections. however, barnyard grass is re-
Sdrueu as WSSu'
II is not related to Johnson grass,
however. and is not difficult to control
nor eradicate.
1t is now too late in our judgment
to sow millet with the idea OF cutting
it for hay this year.

my advice as TO whether to retain her Tor
a milk COW.
Mal-shaped udders are not al all I'M
commofi. Where the heifer has only
two teats she will not produce as much
milk as she would have done with the
four However. she will produce much
more than half the amount. AS aroi-
trary amount I should expect the heller
with two teats to produce about three
fourths as much milk as would be given
if she had a perfectly formed udder
Unless the owner knows that this heifer
comes of exceptionally good producing
