SOME GOOD COWS. 
The man from Oregon wants to know 
if anyone can beat his cows. Here is 
what Otsego Co. N. Y. cows can do. Six 
Jersey cows in the year ending February 
1 have produced for me a tribe over 36,- 
000 pounds of milk; five A. J. C. C. cows, 
one grade. The grade cow was 10 years 
old, one five years, one four, one far¬ 
row, three years old, two heifers two 
years. I think this beats W. S. a trifle 
as to quantity; milk sold to shipping sta¬ 
tion, by can of 40 quarts. F. a. c. 
Portlandville, N. Y. 
We have a cow (registered Holstein 
that has given a little over 11,000 pounds 
of milk since Dec. 16, 1905, that has 
brought us about $160 at door. (We are 
in the ninth zone of the Boston milk 
business.) Besides, she had a heifer calf 
that we think we could have traded for 
a bull that the man who owned him 
would not sell for less than $50. There 
is a living yet in old Massachusetts, with 
enough for self and some to give to such 
poor souls as need it. shedd bros. 
Massachusetts. 
Our cow is about one quarter jersey 
grade, and 12 years old. She freshened 
the first of October, 1906. For the month 
of January she gave 937 pounds of milk. 
I sold 48 quarts of milk and three quarts 
of cream. I used one pint of cream for 
my own use each day and two quarts of 
milk, and churned 28 1-2 pounds of but¬ 
ter. I can give no test of the milk, as 
there is no creamery on the island; how¬ 
ever, we think our old Lily cow is all 
right. I keep a record of each month, 
and enjoy it very much. I am now not a 
farmer’s wife, but a member of the 
Farmers’ Club of Grosse lie, Mich. 
i. z. w. 
I have two cows, one a full blood Jer¬ 
sey, the other her calf, by a Durham bull. 
In the last week of October they made 
28 pounds of butter. Since that I have 
been making from 22 to 26 pounds every 
seven days, and furnished all the cream 
for family use, which means, from two 
to four pounds of butter. The young 
cow was fresh in June. The other fresh 
in October. I have but little hay, and 
only feed about half what they would 
eat at night. They run in the stock pas¬ 
ture during the day. I feed each one gal¬ 
lon of bran, one half gallon corn and 
oats, mixed equal parts by measure, and 
one quart of shorts with a little salt, 
night and morning. They get water at 
the tank in which there is always ice at 
this time of the year. With proper care 
as to feed and water, they could be made 
to do much better. We have a separator 
and would not keep cows without one. 
A cow that will not make 10 pounds of 
butter per week is disposed of as quickly 
as possible, as there is no money in such.

ABORTION IN COWS. 
Every year outbreaks of this terrible dis¬ 
ease cause serious loss to live stock inter¬ 
ests. The demand for a reliable remedy is 
so great that it seems wise to investigate any 
treatment sent out by a reliable concern. 
We wrote at random to several farmers who 
have used the abortion cure prepared by Dr. 
David Roberts, Waukesha, Wls., and give 
below the substance of their replies. 
Last year I had nine cows out of 12 
lose their calves, and this year had symp¬ 
toms of it, but began right from the start 
and have had no trouble so far, I am well 
satisfied with the remedy so far and think 
if it is used as directed that it will do what 
is guaranteed. One cow lost her calf in Ihe 
Rummer, and then right along after that 
there were sometimes two in one day. 
Canton, Pa. w - H - w> 
Five years ago I moved on a farm which 
was badly infected with contagious abortion. 
My herd soon contracted the disease. My 
cows had always been perfectly healthy, and 
I did not know it was a disease until it had 
gained a very strong footing. I used the rem¬ 
edy then as directed and in a short time my 
herd of 55 cows and heifers were cured. I 
have even used it when a cow showed every 
symptom of aborting, and it would prevent 
it, the cow going her full time and dropping 
a stroug. healthy calf. c. t. ii. 
Washington, Pa. 
We had contagious abortion in our herd 
of 40 cows and hardly raised one healthy 
calf for two years. We finally went to work 
with the Roberts remedy and now our herd is 
free from the disease. We have not had a 
case in over a year. Our cows are all ap¬ 
parently healthy and drop strong calves. I 
have no idea how the disease got in our h< rd. 
It is certainly a bad one. We have used 
some other remedies, such as the antiseptic 
and breeding tonic aud absorbent, with equal¬ 
ly good success. J. o. p. 
Devil’s Lake, N. D. 
Two years ago abortion broke out in our 
herd 13 cows losing their calves in about 
two 'months. I was just starting In the 
dairy business and of course it hurt. After 
using various treatments without success I 
got the remedy referred to. I commenced 
this treatment last .Tune according to direc¬ 
tions. One cow due to freshen September 
S aborted in August. Since then we have 
had 13 cows that were given the remedy 
carry their calves full time. lie says that 
a cow must be given a full bottle of the 
serum before it is cured. The cow that 
aborted in August had not been under treat¬ 
ment long enough to get a full bottle. When 
a cow aborts we always separate her from 
the herd and disinfect daily as long as there 
is any discharge. I honestly believe that the 
serum helps the cows, but I have not used 
it long enough to sav that it is a sure cure.

Scales on Face and Head—Threw Off Little 
Watery Substance-Complete Cure 
by Cuticura Remedies. 
“I will be glad to give anybody suffering 
from eczema any information regarding 
Cuticura Remedies. When my little girl 
was about a year and a half old there de¬ 
veloped small pimples on her face, which 
went into a scale which threw off a little 
watery substance. Her head was also af¬ 
fected with it. She used to scratch until 
it bled, making very bad sores. We tried 
two or three salves, including borax. 
They did not do any good, so I got some 
Cuticura Soap first, and then used the 
Cuticura Soap. Ointment and Pills. They 
completely cured her, and we have had no 
more bother with it. Wm. F. Knox, 1216
