MOLASSES FOR FEED. 
A few weeks ago molasses was intro¬ 
duced in this locality as a stock food, 
since which many have been using it in 
feeding cattle, horses and hogs. It is 
claimed by those placing said product upon 
tiie market that a gallon of it contains as 
much nutriment as a bushel of corn. It 
costs us 20 cents per gallon when of a 
thick or heavy consistency. e. c. si. 
Marshall, Ill. 
.You will find a valuable study of 
molasses and molasses feeds in Bulletin 
118 of the Massachusetts Experiment 
Station, Amherst. The molasses varies 
somewhat in composition, that made 
from beets being quite rich. A rich 
sample of molasses is figured in feeding 
value at about 75 per cent of the value 
of cornmeal, pound for pound—the two 
feeds being much the same type of com¬ 
position. The Massachusetts chemists 
figured that when a ton of cornmeal is 
worth $25 a ton of molasses is worth 
$18.70—or about 75 per cent of the value 
of the corn. The average gallon there¬ 
fore would not be worth as much as a 
bushel of corn for feeding. It was 
found that the molasses acted as an 
“appetizer” and kept the cows in good 
condition while they were eating rough 
fodder. You can get the cattle to eat 
coarse stuff which they would other¬ 
wise^ nose over by sprinkling molasses 
over it. For horses also the molasses 
gave good results as an appetizer, kept 
them in good condition and prevented 
colic. 
THE MULE-FOOT HOG. 
Can you toll us anything in favor of the 
mule-foot hog over the others? Are they 
free from cholera, as frequently stated? If 
you were to start with a few hogs would 
you select this class? j. e. it. 
Ohio. 
The writer has known of this breed 
of hogs for many years, but has the 
first one to see. If superiority over 
others is claimed for them it is doubt¬ 
less some enthusiasts who would be 
equally as enthusiastic over any other 
breed that they might fancy for the time 
being. If they are free from cholera, 
it is because they have escaped the con¬ 
ditions and environments that produce 
cholera. Aside from the solid hoof, 
there is no reason to suppose that they 
are physically different from other 
breeds. When starting a herd on a 
farm it is best to select from one of the 
most numerous and best established 
breeds. Then breeding stock can be 
most easily secured, and often with less 
cost. If the mule-foot hog is selected, 
the opportunity for selection is limited, 
and more, there being so few in num¬ 
bers, it is hardly possible they have 
reached the state of perfection that be¬ 
longs to the other well established and 
numerous breeds. The writer has not 
known of its being the fact that their 
having solid hoofs makes them superior 
to breeds with the divided hoof.

AILING ANIMALS. 
Cowpox. 
I have two cows which are bothering me 
with pimple-like spots around the teats. 
Can you give me the cause and remedy? 
These pimples are about the size of small 
peas, filled with a yellow matter, and in 
a day or two scab over. Sometimes two or 
three coming together will come to a head 
and discharge like a boil. Cows eat and 
appear well and seldom bother about milk¬ 
ing! They are having one feed of hay, 
two of silage with grain, two parts bran, 
one •flax, one cotton seed and one corn¬ 
meal ; town water, which is considered very 
pure, F. D. c. 
New Hampshire. 
The pimples are characteristic of cow- 
pox > (variola). The disease sometimes 
proves troublesome, and always is spread 
by way of the milker’s hands, and he also 
may become affected. Young cows are the 
most susceptible, as one attack gives a 
degree of immunity from subsequent attacks. 
As a rule simple treatment will suffice. 
I’laoe the affecled cows by themselves and 
either have them milked by one who does 
not touch the other cows or milk them 
last, and wash the hands in a mild anti¬ 
septic solution after milking each cow. A 
suitable lotion for bathing the udder is 
made by dissolving an ounce of granual 
hyposulphite of soda in half a gallon of 
water. Use a similar solution in which to 
wash t lie hands. When the scabs form and 
rub off at milking time wet the sores with 
a two per cent solution of sulphate of 
zinc, and when dry paint with glycerite 
of tannin. If teats become very sore use 
a sterilized milking tube to extract the 
milk.

I t. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and

The 1909 Model U. S. Cream Separators 
retain all features that have given them their great reputation for dura¬ 
bility and efficiency, and have several improvements that make them even 
to a greater extent than ever before, the ideal machine for dairymen who 
are posted and who demand the best. 
And by intensifying the circuitous and tortu¬ 
ous currents of the milk in its passage through 
the separator bowl, we have been able to 
Greatly Reduce the Diameter 
of the Bowls 
which makes them operate easier than ever 
and still retain their great milk capacity. 
Notwithstanding most manufacturers 
were complaining all last year of dull times 
and small sales the UNITED STATES 
SEPARAI OR had one of the largest 
sales in its history and since this fall season 
began, sales are larger than last year. 
Do not forget that the United States has 
beaten every separator in endurance tests 
and holds the WORLD’S RECORD. 
No dairyman can afford to purchase a 
cream separator until he has first exam¬ 
ined the construction and operation of the 
1909 Model

Badger Dairy Feed, \6 Gluten. 
Bmgr Read his exact words in a letter to us: 
“In ten days my dairy gained one can of 
r milk. I then cut down on gluten and fed more 
Badger and my cows gained more milk.” 
The Reason Why 
is so much better than any other feed is because it 
gives so much better results. And it gives so much 
better results, because Badger Dairy Feed fur¬ 
nishes all the necessary Protein, Fat and Carbo¬ 
hydrates in exactly the correct proportion for 
milk-making and conditioning. That’s why cows 
fed on Badger gain in their milk flow so nicely, i
