BABY COVERED WITH SORES. 
Wonl<t Scratch and Tear the Flesh Unless 
Hands Were Tied—“Would Have 
Hied Hut For Cuticura.” 
“My little son, when about a year and 
a half old, began to have sores come out 
on his face. 1 had a physician treat him, 
but the sores grew worse. Then they be¬ 
gan to come on his arms, then on other 
parts of his body, and then one came on 
his chest, worse than the others. Then I 
called another physician. Still lie grew 
worse. At the end of about a year and i 
half of suffering he grew so bad I had to 
tie his hands in cloths at night to keep 
him from scratching the sores and tearing 
the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton 
and was hardly able to walk. My aunt 
advised me to try Cuticura Soap and 
Ointment. I sent to the drug store and 
got a cake of the Soap and a box of the 
Ointment, and at the end of about two 
months the sores were all well. He has 
never had any sores of any kind since. 
He is now strong and healthy, and I can 
sincerely say that only for your most 
wonderful remedies my precious child 
would have died from those terrible sores.

What causes them? Ilotv prevent? w. s. c. 
Janesville, Wis. 
These “knots” are grubs or warble 
I he gadfly lays its eggs on the skin of 
cattle, mostly on the leg. The cattle 
lick the eggs into their months where they 
hatch. The young insect works its way 
back from the throat and finally settles be¬ 
neath the skin on the hack. There it grows 
often to considerable size. In Spring 
these “grubs” work their way out through 
the skin, fall to the ground, burrow and 
finally produce the flies which lay the 
eggs. In some cases these insects are 
very numerous, so much so as greatly to 
damage the hide. In one case reported 
to us over 230 were taken from one ani¬ 
mal. They can be destroyed by putting 
turpentine over the small opening which 
is formed over each insect. We squeeze 
them out whenever we find them. This 
is easily done, and we are sure of them.

SOUTHERN DAIRYMAN’S BUSINESS 
I have been operating a dairy farm for 
the last five years. Last year I built a 
new dairy barn 3G by 70 feet, cows lined 
up on each side facing wall; driveway 
through between rows of cows; cement 
gutters and mangers, swinging stanchions 
for fastening cows. All hay and forage 
is raised on the place, practically all grain 
and concentrated feed is purchased. My 
dairy ration for this time of year is about 
30 pounds silage and from four to 12 
pounds grain daily fed according to the 
amount of milk each cow gives, which is 
determined by the use of scales at the 
milk shelf where the milk is weighed 
often enough to know what each cow is 
doing. The hay fed is almost exclusively 
pea hay; cow peas are the great hay 
crop of the South. The concentrated ra¬ 
tion varies with the prices of different 
feeds; at present we are feeding bran, 
200 pounds; corn chop, 300 pounds; 
cotton-seed meal, 100 pounds; feeding 4 
to 12 pounds grain, 30 pounds silage, and 
what bay the cows will eat up clean. 
T really do not know whether this is a 
well balanced ration or not, but I do 
get very good results from feeding it. 
L lie cows are in excellent condition, 
and I am shipping at present 20 gallons 
of milk and five gallons of 20 per cent 
cream daily, My stuff all goes to a 
restaurant and ice cream dealer in the 
city of Memphis, a town of 100,000 popu¬ 
lation, situated 00 miles distant from my 
farm. 
At four o’clock in the afternoon cows 
are fed and milked; 10 gallons of milk 
is set aside in a cooling tank, the re¬ 
mainder is separated, the cream placed 
in tank and the warm separator milk 
fed at once to the calves. Next morning 
at three o’clock milking commences, milk- 
cooled and remainder separated and sent 
to station at five o’clock, arriving at 
destination at 8 o’clock. For the year 
1900 I shipped from my herd of 24 
cows 1,712 gallons cream, 0020 gallons 
milk, for which I received $2,202.30. As 
near as I can figure it must have .cost 
$40 per cow for feed and pasture. The 
herd is composed of Jerseys and grades 
A purebred bull is kept, and all heifers 
of promise are kept to keep up the herd. 
Every cow that does not pay is promptly 
sold to butcher. 
In regard to putting peas in silo will 
say that I tried it the past season in a 
small way. I had several acres of peas 
and corn planted together for the silo, 
to experiment; when the silo was about 
half full I started the mower in this 
mass of stuff, rake and wagons hauling 
to cutter, but I found it so heavy and 
inconvenient to handle that after putting 
about six loads in silo I concluded that 
it was too expensive to handle, so cut 
the remainder for hay. I have just fin¬ 
ished feeding this pea silage, but find it 
no improvement on the corn; in fact it 
is dark; does not smell as corn silage, 
and the cows do not relish it quite as well. 
There are only, a few dairies in this sec¬ 
tion, as cotton is grown almost exclusively 
as a staple crop. We have natural 
pastures six or seven months of the year.

LOW TEMPERATURE 
CREAM SEPAR ATORS 
Ability to SKIM CLEAN at LOW TEMPERATURE is 
another important consideration in the purchase of a cream 
separator and one of the chief differences between the 
I)L LAVAL and other makes of separators. 
I he ordinary cream separator is capable of doing’ reasonably 
good work only with milk at a temperature of over 80 degrees, 
mien the temperature is lower the skimming is so poor that 
the loss of butter-fat is great, while only a very thin cream 
can he run, and with most machines the bowl soon clogs and 
will not skim at all. 
Farm separation is usually made above 80 degrees but every 
ttser knows that there are frequently times when the milk must 
be separated cooler, unless a lot of trouble is gone to in heating 
it which must injure the quality of the cream and butter. 
The superiority of the patent-protected “ALPHA-DISC” 
type of bowl construction used in the DE LAVAL machines is 
such that temperature makes little difference in results. 
. . Th is is something so important in factory operation that 
it is one of the reasons why the creamery use of DE LAVAL 
machines is almost universal. Surely the buyer of a farm 
separator makes a mistake to overlook it.
