THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
499 
A GOOD JERSEY COW. 
The cow, shown at Fig. 199, is Duke 
Rowena's Lucy 166014, a representative 
of the Sisson Jersey Herd at Potsdam. 
N. Y. She is six year old, and was bred 
by Mr. Sisson. Her sire, Nancy's John 
Bull 18452, was a pure St. Lambert, car¬ 
rying 561-4 P er cen t of the blood of Stoke 
Pogis 3d; his dam, Nancy of St. Lambert, 
being the richest daughter of that famous 
sire. The dam of Duke Rowena’s Lucy 
is the famous cow Duke’s Rowena 7th 
118510, that milked over 50 pounds a day, 
made 22 pounds eight ounces churned 
butter in seven days, and sold in Mr. 
Sisson’s sale of 1901 for $1,000. Her 
blood breeds on, and this young cow in 
conformation and dairy type resembles 
her closely. The cow Emma's Rowena 
146S77, that has recently completed a 
year’s authenticated butter fat test of 638 
pounds four ounces, is sired by Rowena’s 
Duke 44054, a son of old Duke’s Rowena. 
They are several young things of this 
strain in the Sisson herd, and they are 
naturally much sought after. The best 
Island blood is also well represented in 
Imp. King of Hambie 65298, son of the 
$10,000 bull Eminent 2d, and there are 
beautiful cows of the Golden Fern’s Lad, 
Blue Belle and Rosette families. The 
home-bred cows and heifers, nearly 50 
in number, are mostly sired by Maud’s 
Rioter St. Lambert 51635, and Lucy of 
St. Lambert’s Heir 62661, both pure St. 
realize that radical measures cannot be 
executed, that tiie whole scheme is one 
of education. Both Dr. Parks and Dr. 
Freeman, of the New York Milk Com¬ 
mission, as I know from personal inter¬ 
view, understand this and are therefore 
cleaning up as fast as possible without 
shutting off the supply. If we do not 
appreciate the merits and necessity of 
clean cows, clean barns, and clean milk¬ 
ing, rules will be ignored no matter how 
stringent. 
If this inspector has suddenly taken a 
turn for the better, or he may be a new 
appointment, and things were bad before, 
I can understand how this rejection 
should come about. Under such circmn- j 
stances the inspector is probably more 
ambitious than circumspect. No doubt 
more problems and difficulties beset milk 
producers of the South than we find here 
in the dairy sections of the North. This 
extra care is, however, balanced by a 
higher price and a prolonged growing 
season. As to a general rule for reject¬ 
ing the milk of three-teated cows, I 
should say it was not in keeping with good 
judgment. Probably we shall never be 
so fortunate as to prevent loss of teats, 
and at the time of disturbance the milk 
of the whole udder is more or less dis¬ 
turbed. After the fever has subsided and 
the function of the udder become normal, 
I would as soon use the milk from such 
a cow as a four-teated cow. As a rule

TRY THE 
DE LAVAL 
BEFORE YOU BUY A SEPARATOR 
Surely there is no reasonable excuse why every one who 
thinks of buying a cream separator should not try a DE LAV A L 
machine before buying. By simply making the request you may 
have a DE LAVAL machine set up at your home without any 
trouble or expense whatever. If, after you have tried and tested 
the machine, you do not wish to keep it, you need not feel under 
obligations to us nor think that you have asked a favor. We 
won’t expect you to buy unless you choose. Furthermore, should 
you \ ish to buy a separator at once but do not feel able to spare 
the ready cash, you may buy a DE LAVaL machine upon such 
liberal terms that it will earn its cost whi.eyou are paying for it. 
In v ew of these facts, and considering that the DE LAVAL is 
today the standard by which all separator manufacturers gauge 
the value of their machines, it would seem that every intending 
buyer of a separator is doing himself an injustice if he does not 
at least ask for a free trial of a DE LAVAL before buying. By 
so doing he can lose nothing, and he may save a great deal. A 
DE LAVAL catalogue, sent free upon request, helps to make 
separator differences plain. Write for it today.

quicker than wringers squeeze water 
from clothes. It gets a quarter to 
a half more cream than by setting, 
because it uses centrifugal force—a 
force thousands of times stronger, 
quicker, more effective than the 
force that makes cream rise in pans.

COWS WITH DISEASED UDDER. 
Is the milk from a cow giving milk out of 
three teats perfectly wholesome, as the milk 
inspector in the city of Memphis will not 
allow such milk to he sold in Memphis, and 
all such cows must be cut out. I was in¬ 
clined to think that he was wrong on that 
point. What is the cause of pus in the milk? 
Is it dangerous to use such milk? Is there 
any cure for it? This milk inspector is 
making a great fuss about pus in the milk. 
I know of several dairies where he has con¬ 
demned 20 out of 25 cows. Do you think 
that it could he possible for him ’to find so 
many of such cows, or has he made a mis¬ 
take, as all cows found with pus are con¬ 
demned and ordered sold for beef. Is there 
an.v recourse if he should condemn my cows? 
Shelby Co., Tenn. h. m. a. 
There is not a doubt but a great deal 
of clotted milk, bloody milk or pus milk, 
as one may see fit to call it, cau be found 
almost any time in average market milk. 
I live in a section where the cow popula¬ 
tion is high, and where milk makes nearly 
the whole income of the farmers. Yet I 
know from having manufactured milk for 
30 years that a critical veterinarian or 
physician could easily reject much of our 
milk. Again, if Dr. Parks, of the New' 
York Milk Commission, should be given 
authority to bring all milk coming into 
New York up to his standard, or to the 
quality of our certified milk which is 
coming to be produced for city trade 
generally over the whole country, one 
would not need he a prophet to foretell 
that consumers would suddenly live with¬ 
out milk. Rational men who are leading 
in this great movement for pure milk, 
the loss of a teat comes suddenly and 
without warning, and it is just at this 
time the danger, if any, presents itself. 
Surely no inspector, however watchful, 
could keep tab on all of these unforeseen 
events, and by the time the case could 
come under his eye, the danger would be 
passed. Upon the second clause of the 
inquiry concerning pus in milk whether 
the inspector found it or not, I do not 
believe any third party not actually cog- \ 
nizant of all the facts in the case would ! 
care to pass an opinion. What is more 
to the point, unless the disturbance was 
so open and flagrant that a cloth strainer 
would collect the pus, no one but a bac- j 
teriologist would or could pass an opinion. 
I should say that this was a case where 
the milk producers should organize, not 
to reject or resent honest criticism of 
their methods, because increased con¬ 
sumption and higher prices follow im¬ 
provement in quality, but to see to it that 
they have a “square deal.” h. e. cook.

GREEN MOUNTAIN SILAGE 
IS ALL GOOD 
Grafton, Mass., April 27, IQ05. 
After one of the coldest and most trying winters known in this 
section for many years, we are feeding at this date from the Green 
Mountain Silo, the sweetest and best silage I ever saw. 
Not only did the silo stand the extreme cold weather perfectly, but 
the silage i s ail good right up to the staves; no waste around the sides 
or at the doors. This appeals strongly to me, as I have had a very un 
fortunate experience with two square silos.— George D. Leavens.
