International Special Dairy Molasses Feed 
Insures Larger Profits 
With International Special Dairy Feed now at same cost; 
corn costing less; oats costing less; and butter and butterfat 
now selling for more, every dairyman can secure larger profits 
today than were secured during the five years named above. 
Many dairymen have ceased buying concentrates—oilmeal, gluten feed, etc., because 
too high in price as compared to dairy products. They are buying International Special 
Dairy Molasses Feed instead, (containing oilmeal, cottonseed, gluten, molasses and grain 
products), and using to the extent of one-half their grain ration. 
Every feeder who is using this mixture is securing good milk production and making 
more money than during any year from 1912 to 1916 inclusive. 
International dealers everywhere arc authorized to sell International Special Dairy Feed 
on a guarantee to produce more milk than any other feed of similar analysis, (15% to 16% 
protein). Special Dairy is easily worth $15.00 per ton above corn, oats and barley for 
dairy use. 
Oh, Yes! Another Feed—Minnesota Dairy Feed! 
Wc have another brand at $5.00 per ton condition; creates thirst; increases appetite 
below Special, International Minnesota for cheap roughage. 
Dairy Feed, containing ground grains, 
ground grain products, and 25% pure canc Ask your local dealer. If he cannot or 
blackstrap molasses. Minnesota Dairy is will not supply you, wc will pay the freight 
guaranteed worth $5.00 more per ton than and ship you minimum car, 20 tons, terms

Devon Bulls as Working Cattle 
The accompanying picture shows two 
Devon hulls owned by Almou N. Perkins. 
Litchfield County, Conn., which have 
been broken to yoke. It is not an un¬ 
common practice uiuoug the ox men of 
Connecticut and other places to break 
the bulls for working purposes. They 
make an exceedingly strong and snappy 
team, and they will probably outpull any¬ 
thing of their weight. The two bulls pic¬ 
tured are Duke, weighing 1,700 lbs., and 
Golden, who tips the scales at between 
1,S00 and 1,000 lbs. These animals are 
not only of good size, good style, excel¬ 
lent beef animals, but are also from ex¬ 
ceedingly good milking cows that have 
been very successful in the show ring. 
The dam of Duke was Elba May 4th. 
Old Etha May was an exceedingly good 
show cow in the herd of Dr, J. L. Duel 
of Litchfield County, Conn., and her dam 
was Maud Brown 2nd, a cow that stood 
in the herd of Stock well & Gifford and 
was seldom beaten in the show ling tip to 
the time of her death, having won prizes, 
not only at the largest shows of New 
England, but at the New York State Fair 
as we do not have much milk. When I 
go to put the fresh cream with the other 
the older cream is frozen. Do you think 
that is what causes it? Mils. j. w. 
Your chief difficulty lies in the fact that 
your cream is not sour or ripe enough at 
churning lime. As you say, the cream is 
frozen most of the time, and when 
churned once a week does not contain 
enough acid to give good results. 1 be¬ 
lieve your old-time success will return 
if you try the following rules: 
Keep your cream in a room where the 
temperature is as nearly constant as 
possible, and at about 70° F. Do not add 
fresh cream to the old cream less than 21 
hours before churning. This tempera¬ 
ture is favorable to acid development or 
souring, and the cream should be sour liy 
churning time, (’burn once a week, as 
usual, but on 'the night before churning 
cool the old cream down to churning tem¬ 
perature, which iu Winter should be 
about 58° to 00° F. If the cream gets 
too sour under the above conditions, keep 
the cream very cold until 48 hours before 
churning, at which time place it in a 
warm room at the temperature first not-

and at Trenton, N. J., at both of which 
places she was the first-prize cow when 
shown. 
Golden was from the cow Lady May, 
which was one of the best cows owned 'by 
Dr. Duel, of good size and an exceedingly 
good milker. Mr. Perkins writes that 
one of his cows has recently calved, and 
is giving 20 quarts of milk a day under 
ordinary farm conditions. Another cow 
in the herd is Fair Florence, an exceed¬ 
ingly good show cow and the maternal 
ancestor of the cow Fair Florence 4th, 
which won third place at the Eastern 
States Exposition under exceedingly hot 
competition. This herd, although small, 
well illustrates the triple-purpose nature 
of the Devon breed—beef, work, milk.

Notes on the “Ox-team Express" 
I have been a reader of The It. N.-Y. 
for less than a year, having signed up 
with Mr. Berrang and his ox team when 
they passed through here last Spring. 
Mr. Berrang does not know what a fa\oi 
he did me when he signed me up, but 1 
intend to write him some day and tell 
him how much I get out of the favor. 
Mr. Berrang stopped very dose to where 
I live in Summer, and I went over and 
had a little chat with him. Next morn¬ 
ing he was over at my home, and sold me 
Tun It. N.-Y.; he was right on the job. 
I have been following him ever since. 
You ought lo hear Mr. Boss, the black¬ 
smith, describing the job ho had shoeing 
those oxen. It was the first ox work he 
had done for years, and to hear him tell 
It would gladden the heart ol most of 
your readers. J. w. woodington.

Trouble with Churning 
I have made butter for some time, and 
always had good luck, but for the last 
(wo weeks I can get no butter out of my 
cream. It seems come, but does not 
hang together. I cannot work it. 1 have 
tried to put in some cold water, but it 
melts in the water. I keep my cream m 
a cold room, and we separate once a day, 
ed. It will sour satisfactorily in a day 
and will not be quite as acid as in the 
first case mentioned. Practice iu refer¬ 
ence to temperature and age will solve 
your trouble. Get a good dairy thermom¬ 
eter. It will help a lot. j. xv. n. 
Cheesy Butter 
We have a Jersey cow aud feed her 
cornmeal, beet pulp and some mixed feed, 
three times a day, about 2*A quarts at 
each meal, mixed in lukewarm water; 
also handful of salt. In between times 
we feed some cornstalks, also hay; all 
tho water she can drink. lias this feed¬ 
ing anything to do with the butter be¬ 
coming cheesy? It is washed thoroughly; 
there are no streaks, but after it stands 
awhile becomes hard aud smells. Could 
it he possible that the milk is too rich 
and should be diluted with water ? J. M. 
Cheesy flavor is a characteristic which 
is very common in butter. This cheesy 
condition develops chiefly iu butter con¬ 
taining little or no salt. It is claimed lo 
be due to the decomposition of the proteid 
matter in the butter. This proteid mat¬ 
ter, which is found in all butter in small 
amounts, is similar to curd. Bacteria ave 
able to decompose this matter more read¬ 
ily in the presence of little or no salt. I 
should recommend not so much salt in the 
cow’s feed, and a little more in the but¬ 
ter. B ' 
Husband’s Right to Wife’s Property 
A farm was owned by a married woman 
in New Hampshire. She later died, leav¬ 
ing children and a husband, but no will. 
Can the husband and father sell the old 
farm without the children “signing off. 
he still being a widower? B- o. «• 
New Hampshire. 
The husband has a right, of curtsey in 
the real property of bis wife, and cannot 
sell the children’s share without their con¬ 
sent, unless it be by order of the court. 
N. T. 
“Couldn’t you find any eggs, dear? 
a woman asked her little city niece who 
was visiting her on her farm. No, auntie, 
said the child; “the hens were scratching 
all around as hard as they could, but they 
hadn’t found a single egg.”—Boston 
Transcript.
