LIVE STOCK MATTERS. 
(CONTINUED.) 
and the digestibility or the availability 
of the foods furnished. 
We do not claim that we make the 
best animal meal in the world, but we 
do claim to have put the first animal 
meal or dried meat product on the mar¬ 
ket in this country, advertising it and 
introducing it as early as 1873, and we 
have made a study of the process of 
manufacture and think that we have got 
a preparation that is pretty nearly right. 
Still, we are open to suggestions and im¬ 
provements, and aim to keep abreast of 
the times. w. h. bowker. 
R. N.-Y.—As we stated at the time, 
the analyses were furnished by Mr. H. 
M. Cottrell who collected them from 
various sources—chiefly from statements 
made by experiment stations. 
Butter from Potatoes. —On page 195, 
M. A. G. tells his experience in making 
butter while feeding raw potatoes. My 
first experience the past winter, was 
similar to his only after churning about 
50 or 60 minutes, I became discouraged 
and added hot water until the butter 
gathered in good shape. After removing 
the butter from the churn, I found that 
the temperature of the buttermilk was 
about 76 degrees. After that, I com¬ 
menced churning at a temperature of 76 
to 78 degrees, and the butter came in 12 
to 15 minutes and was solid and of as 
good color as one often sees in winter, 
without the use of artificial color. We 
have had no ill-flavored butter. One of 
our customers said, “ Why is it that your 
butter is so nice and solid, while the 
other butter that we get is so soft ?” We 
keep one cow and feed one-half to three- 
quarter bushel potatoes, and two quarts 
rye and wheat bran, at two feeds, with 
clover hay. l. w mce. 
Wilawana, Pa. 
“ A New Stock Food.” —A man in this 
section has been introducing what he 
calls a new stock food. He says that it 
contains ginger, sulphur, charcoal, salt¬ 
peter, gentian root, burdock root, dan¬ 
delion root, salt, pepper, and several 
other ingredients that I can’t remember, 
besides two or three that the manufac¬ 
turers keep secret. He is taking orders 
for this feed in 100-pound packages at 
$8.50 each. He says that about one 
ounce a day fed to a cow, will increase 
the flow of milk very much, about 50 
pounds per day for 16 cows, and that the 
butter fat will be increased 30 per cent. 
The claim is that this food causes the 
animal to digest perfectly and assimi¬ 
late all of her feed, thus the benefit. 
What do you think of it ? Is it a fraud 
or not ? e. h. b. 
Mt. Riga, N. Y. 
R. N.-Y.—This food is not worth any 
such price. The formula often printed 
in The R. N.-Y., can be made at much 
less expense, and is, probably, just as 
good. The “ claims ” made for it are 
unreasonable. We do not believe that 
they can be made good. One way of 
conducting this business is to send 
agents through a section to sell all they 
can, and then never go back for another 
sale. 
Caked Udder and Garget. —What is 
the cause of, and remedy for, caked 
udder and garget ? I have two cows 
afflicted, one has dropped a calf, the 
"BIG FOUR” to ST. LOUIS. 
“NO TUNNEL ROUTE.” 
The National Republican Convention 
will be held in St. Louis, June 10, 1896. 
There will be many thousand people in 
that city on that occasion. The “ Big 
Four ” offer to the public the most com¬ 
fortable and luxurious line to St. Louis 
with elegant Through Wagner Sleeping 
Car service and unexcelled Dining Car 
service from New York, Boston, Buffalo, 
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, In¬ 
dianapolis, Washington and all Eastern 
and Southeastern cities.— Adv. 
other is just running dry to calve in a 
few weeks. J. k. 
North Kingston, N. S. 
R. N.-Y.—Any one of several causes 
may cause garget—injury to the udder, 
neglect in milking, or leaving too much 
milk in the udder, or leaving it too long, 
especially when drying off the cow, 
overfeeding, etc. Give the cows a laxa¬ 
tive diet, avoiding anything heating like 
corn meal. Rub the udder thoroughly 
but gently with camphorated spirits. 
Unless the case is very bad, a hungry 
calf will do good work in kneading the 
udder. Keep the cow from cold storms 
or drafts, and milk as clean as possible. 
“Farm Poultry.” —A writer in The 
Iowa Homestead relates the following 
incident: 
Inquiring of a poultry dealer the other day as 
to whether he was getting as many chickens now 
as formerly, he replied : “ No, sir ; I do not get 
enough to supply the home demand.” “Why,” 
said I, “do the town people like chickens so well 
as that ?” He replied, “ I do not sell very many 
to the people here in town. My best customers 
are the farmers. I have sold as high as three 
dozen to one man, and chickens are engaged 
away ahead.” “ Choice breeds ?” I said. “Not 
much,” he l’eplied ; “ they take anything they 
can get. Why, I have actually sold chickens 
to men from whom I have bought them earlier in 
the season.” 
It must be pleasant to live in a country 
and be in a business that will permit such 
transactions as that! Surely, no busi¬ 
ness but farming would ever stand it! 
The Best Butter Package.—W hich 
is the best retail butter package for sum¬ 
mer use in a private dairy trade ? b. r. 
Ans.— I would put up butter in pound 
prints, using Carter’s butter print, wrap¬ 
ping each pound neatly in parchment 
paper, printed with the name of the 
farm, and my own name and address. I 
employ a good printer. I would deliver 
butter, and it may be kept in the cool 
room, from print carriers, which are sold 
by all dairy-supply houses, and made in 
different sizes with a capacity of 20 to 
144 pounds. A galvanized tank for use 
in summer, holding 5 to 15 pounds of 
ice, will keep butter hard and in fine 
condition several hours. This is the 
way all top-price butter is delivered in 
Connecticut. h. g. m.

Dr. B. J. Kendall Co.— I bought a splendid bay 
horse some time ago with a Spavin. I got him 
for $30. I used Kendall’s Spavin Cure. The 
Spavin is gone now and I have been offered $150 
for the same horse. I only had him nine weeks, 
so I got $120 for using $2 worth of Kendall’s Spavin 
Cure. W. S. Marsden.
