JERSEY PEDIGREES. 
Upon request of C. D. Smead (page 307) 
I submit the rules for “Registration and 
Qualification” on the Island of Jersey. 
For the records he requires, I will refer 
him to Mr. John A. Perree, secretary, 
Oaklands, St. Saviour, Island of Jersey, 
and as to the pedigree of an Island-bred 
heifer that gives the names and numbers 
of the dams for at least five generations, I 
will inclose pedigree of Whitel’s Heroine, 
bred by William Whitel, Jr., St. Martin, 
Island of Jersey, shown herewith. I think 
sold her, and the buyer told me he took it 
off after a time, and he kept her till she 
was an old cow. c. hui.burt.

Ailing Shotes.— Regarding ailing shotes, 
page 263, a plank or board floor, with wind 
and accompanying frost (in this northern 
clime) will generate rheumatism; especially 
in shotes of 100 pounds. Ten shotes nestling 
together create a quantity of heat, and if 
floor is frosty they heat a part of their 
anatomy, while other parts are cold. Bedding 
will not overcome this fault as they burrow 
down to bottom and to frost. If possible 
turn them outdoors every day to run wild. 
Remove them to a pen with a dirt floor.

this will more than meet the requirements 
of five generations of recorded female 
animals through the dam, i. e.—first dam 
Oxford Lad’s Heroine 197672; second 
dam, Heroine P. 5703-C; third dam, Abi- 
gal P. 2075-C; fourth dam, Lady Roseline 
P. 1335-C; fifth dam, Golden Drop F. 
3335-H. C. I think this fully covers the 
ground as far as the Jersey business is 
concerned. I do not pretend to be an 
authority on these matters. I just know 
some simple facts about Jersey breeding 
that any breeder ought to know, and which 
Dr. Smead could easily have found out if 
he had tried. j. grant morse. 
A Sucking Cow. —On page 284 J. B. S. 
asks for Information about his sucking cow. I 
would suggest he go to the store and get a 
basket muzzle that is made of wire and 
drops down over the nose when her head is 
raised: the muzzle is fastened to a leather 
halter, and is buckled to her head. It will 
cost 50 or 60 cents. Here is a plan for 
preventing a cow sucking herself, but it will 
not prevent her from sucking another cow. 
It will require 12 round smooth pieces of 
wood, a rectangle loosely fitting her neck 
just back of her head, and another at her 
shoulder: then two on each side to hold 
them rigidly in place. I would nail it to¬ 
gether in part and use a bit and 
brace for the pieces running lengthwise of 
her neck. When you get it on it will look 
as if the cow had butted her head in at 
the lower end of a' chair and pushed the 
bottom and back off, only both ends of the 
legs would have to be sawed off. You will 
see that it is impossible for the cow to get 
her head around to her side. I am not 
recommending this, for it is pretty hard on 
the cow in flytime unless you put some fly- 
disperser on her every day, and you cannot 
put her in stanchions. It was over 30 years 
ago when I put such a “contraption” on 
a cow that was addicted to sucking herself— 
that was before the day of hornflies, and 
stanchions weren’t so common as now: but 
it cured her. I kept it on for a year, then 
Charcoal, sulphur and salt are all prime 
requisites for shotes. If lousy procure a 
woolen cloth, saturate with coal oil (kerosene 
or petroleum) and rub the shotes all over. 
As the lice are in the bedding as well as on 
the shotes remove all bedding and replace 
with fresh. Oat or wheat straw if possible. 
Buckwheat straw is about the poorest bed¬ 
ding of all, a harbor of disease.

How the 
U C. CREAM 
• d • SEPARATOR 
Starts Itself 
At the right is an exact copy of a photograph of a 
_ ^number 7 U. S. Cream Separator. Someone raised the 
[crank to the height shown and had just let go as the 
E hotograph was taken. Now if another photograph had ir 
een taken about a minute later the crank would have 
been in the position shown by the dotted lines. In 0--'“ * 
other words, the slight weight of the crank is enough to start 
the gears and bowl of the U. S. Separator turning. If the 
I crank was raised enough times and allowed to lower itself each 
1 time it would get the gears and bowl going very fast. This 
, would take sometime so it is not practical, but it gives 
you an idea of how lightly and easily the U. S. 
Separator runs. 
Other separators are advert.sed as “ easy run¬ 
ning ” but the U. S. Is easy running. When the weight of its 
j crank will run a U. S. it certainly can’t take much 
power on the part of the operator to do it. 
We haven’t room here to tell you more about the U. S. _ —^ 
Separator, but if you want we’ll be glad to mail you free a copy of our big, in¬ 
teresting, new separator catalogue. It tells all about the U. S. Just say, “Send 
catalogue number C 159 ”. Write it on a postal if it’s handiest, and address
