“ STRINGY” MILK. 
In November, 1908, I commenced to 
stable my cow in a different barn; I did 
not know what stock had been in it be¬ 
fore. rilie began to give bitter milk and 
the first of January, 1909, her milk got 
stringy, or curds in it. She had been fed 
on good clean hay and grain. What is the 
trouble? f. h. m. 
Sharon, Pa. 
We do not believe the cow is respon¬ 
sible for the trouble. Most likely it is 
a germ which turns the milk “stringy.” 
We have heard of many such cases. 
This germ usually lives in the pans, 
pails and other utensils in which the 
milk is kept. Boiling water will kill 
the germ—ordinary washing with warm 
water will not do so. We should clean 
the stable and the cow thoroughly, and 
boil all pans and pails at least half an 
hour after they have held milk. This 
usually ends the trouble. 
BUFF ROCKS AND R. I. REDS. 
Tell how to distinguish between Buff 
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, also their 
qualities as layers. e. c. c. 
Norfolk, Va. 
Buff Rocks that are the proper buff 
color are much lighter in color than 
the R. I. Reds, the latter, as their name 
implies, being a dark red in most speci¬ 
mens, especially the males. Occasion¬ 
ally a R. I. Red pullet will come so light 
in color as to be almost indistinguish¬ 
able from a Buff Rock except by size 
and shape. The Reds are generally 
from one to two or three pounds 
smaller than the Rocks and quite dif¬ 
ferent in shape, being fuller in the 
breast and usually shorter legged. As 
to their qualities as layers, so much 
depends upon the particular family or 
“strain,” and whether they have been 
bred for eggs or feathers, that it would 
he hard to say. Probably there is no 
breed before the public to-day hut what 
has been discarded by some because 
they were such poor layers, and kept 
by others for exactly the opposite rea¬ 
son. I know of people who have sold 
their R. I. Reds just because they were 
such poor layers, and I know others 
who keep them solely because they are 
such excellent layers.

Poisoning English Sparrows. 
C. I/., Neio York .—How can I poison 
English sparrows? 
Ans. —It is not very safe to poison 
the English sparrow, as cats and other 
animals are sometimes injured by eat¬ 
ing the dead bodies. In some localities 
the use of poison in this way is forbid¬ 
den by law. Probably the most effec¬ 
tive way of checking them is by the 
free use of a shotgun. However, if 
there is no other available method they 
may be poisoned by the following 
methods: Procure one-eighth ounce 
sulphate of strychnine, dissolve it in 
about one-half a pint of hot water. It 
will require some time to effect the 
solution. The water should be kept 
warm, but not boiling, until the strych¬ 
nine is -completely dissolved. Then put 
in enough wheat and cracked corn to, 
take up all the liquid. This poisoned 
grain may be slowly dried and may be 
preserved in a tin or glass container for 
several weeks in cool weather. Some 
portions of it shall be placed where the 
sparrows can find them, but out of the 
reach of domestic fowls or animals. A 
very few pieces of the poisoned grain 
will quickly kill a sparrow. They may 
be also poisoned with less danger by 
working up arsenic with two or three 
ounces of beef suet and in turn mixing 
this with a small quantity of small 
grain or cracked corn. It should be 
used in the same manner as the strych¬ 
nine poisoned grain, but is slower.

The 1909 Model U. S. Cream Separators 
B 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 
SEPARATOR 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 
Sales agents in nearly every dairy section. If no agent in your town, write
