FARM AND DAIRY NOTES 
Cow Gives Bloody Milk. 
We have a cow that is giving bloody milk 
from one teat. She came in a month or two 
ago, and gave milk that after setting over 
night in a fruit can by the side of another 
can of perfectly natural milk showed a red¬ 
dish tinge. It improved, but now shows red¬ 
dish again. Cow is healthy and not old. We 
feed Buffalo and wheat middlings, give good 
care and kind handling. J. w. t. 
Andover, N. Y. 
Cows often give bloody milk when 
their udder has been injured, and this is 
the most frequent cause. If at calving 
time the udder is swollen and inflamed the 
milk will often be bloody for a few days, 
but usually ceases if the udder has proper 
attention. I have known cows to give 
bloody milk later, if overfed, and the 
milk glands stimulated beyond their ca¬ 
pacity. A lessening of feed and a change 
of feed will prevent this. I have heard of 
cows giving bloody milk when fed on, 
madder root and a few other plants, but 
have never had any trouble this way. I 
should bathe the infected quarter with 
hot water, give laxative food, such as 
bran and linseed meal, and think the 
trouble will cease. 
Bitter Milk. 
Why does the cream of our Jersey cow 
when standing in a milk pan for 36 hours 
have a bitter taste? After standing 24 hours 
it is sweet. The cow is grain fed, and now 
has grass also; feed is No. 2 flour and wheat 
bran, and fresh water; milk kept in cool cel¬ 
lar. A. G. 
St. James, L. I. 
Milk has frequently a bitter, bad taste 
for a few days after cows are turned into 
rank fresh grass, also milk and cream 
from strippers is sometimes bitter, but I 
am inclined to think that the trouble is 
caused by the growth of the wrong kind 
of bacteria in the cream. I do not like a 
cellar, no matter how clean, for the keep¬ 
ing of milk or cream. It is almost impos¬ 
sible to ventilate properly, and the air is 
such that it often kills the good flavor in 
milk or cream. Try keeping the cream 
in some other place, and above all see that 
the pans arc thoroughly cleaned and 
scalded well or steamed after washing. 
Bacteria often get into the unsoldered 
crevices in pans and pails, and ordinary 
cleaning does not kill and remove them,* 
and they are ready to grow at the first 
favorable opportunity. Whenever you get 
new tinware of any kind that is to receive 
milk see that all seams are run full of 
solder, and are smooth. They are much 
easier to clean, will last much longer, and 
are sweeter and cleaner in every way. 
Much tinware nowadays is thrown to¬ 
gether apparently, and when buying bet¬ 
ter have a tinner look it over and com¬ 
plete the soldering, h. g. Manchester. 
ALL SORTS 
Cure For Sucking Heifer. —R. D. G., 
Massachusetts, asks about sucking heifer. If 
he will take wire % or 3-16 x 14 inches, 
sharpen both ends, put il through the nose, 
twist it two turns, not loo tight, around tlie 
nose, and bend the ends like a two-tiued fork, 
he will have no more trouble. n. ,r. p. 
Swart wood, N. Y. 
A Cow Weaner. —I find the best cow wean- 
er to be this: Put a halter on the cow’s 
head, then put a surcingle around the body 
just back of the forelegs. Take a stick about 
three feet in length and fasten a snap to each 
end of it. When you let the cow out of the 
barn, fasten one snap to a ring in the halter 
and the other to a ring in the surcingle, mak¬ 
ing the stick pass between the cow's forelegs. 
Newman, N. Y. G. a. a. 
Milk Out of Order. —On page 380, under 
“Farm and Dairy Notes,” I observe W. M. H., 
Milton, N. .T., is having trouble churning his 
milk into butter. To quote his language, 
"milk will not churn into butter; it simply 
comes to a thick froth like whipped cream." 
We had exactly this difficulty last Winter 
with our family cow; stabled and well fed, 
and apples no part of her diet. I concluded, 
however, that the trouble arose from some 
irregularity of the stomach and intestines, 
and fed her for a few weeks on finely pow¬ 
dered charcoal mixed with an equal part (by 
bulk) of salt, feeding her a small handful of 
the mixture stirred in her bran feed, with 
the result that the trouble soon disappeared. 
Willow charcoal is the best, but I used such 
as most convenient. I should be glad to have 
\V. M. H. try It. and repovt his result. 
Yancey Mills, Va. J. W, A. 
Mrs. Hardpan: “Yes, Johnny, yeou 
kin hev an apple if they be any startin’ 
tew spile.” Johnny: “An’ ef they ain’t 
startin’ ter spile?” Mrs. Hardpan: “Then 
yeou’ll hev ter wait till they dew. Them 
apples cost too much ter eat ’em fresh.”

A PLEASED BUYER IS THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT 
The good will, confidence and esteem of one’s friends are among the choicest things in life. I think no 
one appreciates them more highly than I do, and for that reason it is more than gratifying to see at our sales 
the same faces and names among the buyers that have been patrons at our sales for the past 25 years. This 
alone speaks for itself. I shall he satisfied if, in the future, I retain the esteem of those who have had con¬ 
fidence in me in the past, as well as the class of cattle that we handle.—T. 8. C. 
Those who have seen our present importation are free to admit that they are the best of any that wo 
have ever imported. 
At the coming sale the “cream will he thick,” and the chances for buying as good as at any of our former 
sales. Many of the cows and heifers will be in calf to the famous GOLDEN FERN’S LAD and his blood 
predominates. 
it has always been our custom to sell no animal unless wo stated all faults, and to care for the comfort 
of the cattle, in such a manner so that when they left our stables buyers could expect reasonable 
improvement. 
Our most sanguine expectations have been more than realized, through letters we are receiving from 
buyers. Among tne number to ho sold are so many "Toppers” that we do not want to be partial, and will 
cheerfully mail the catalogue free of charge to anyone, that alone tells the tale, and from which, those that 
are interested, can make their own preference. iST’Catalogues ready May 1, 1905.
