THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
February 8, 
A FINE HOLSTEIN COW. 
Genie Clothilde 48097, pictured at 
I r ig. 50, is owned by W. VV. uneney, of 
Manlius, N. Y. Mr. Cheney claims for 
her the best world’s official record of 
any cow of all breeds for one day’s but¬ 
ter production. The official record is as 
follows: Thirty days, 2002.15 pound of 
milk, 110.797 pounds of butter; seven 
days, 639.4 pounds of milk, 30.421 
pounds of butter; one day, 95.1 pounds 
of milk, 6.179 pounds of butter. 
’PROTECTION FOR CATTLE BUYERS. 
The matter of legislation to provide 
adequate protection to purchasers of 
registered stock against the dishonesty 
of vendors, has not had thought or con¬ 
sideration on my part sufficient to war¬ 
rant me in offering more than an off¬ 
hand suggestion, made on the spur of 
the moment. The provisions of the law 
in reference to fraud in general afford 
purchasers of registered stock protec¬ 
tion against imposition on the part of 
formance, to issue the same if false in 
any particular or issued in violation of 
any of the provisions of the act.

MANGELS FOR EWES IN LAMB. 
I was surprised to read in the pro¬ 
ceedings of the State Breeders’ meeting, 
page 43, that so good authority as my 
esteemed friend, John Campbell, of 
Woodville, Ontario, Canada, should ad¬ 
vise not to feed mangels to ewes in 
lamb. In our experience in Winter 
lamb raising we have never found any¬ 
thing in the way of green food superior 
to mangels, from the very beginning of 
Winter feeding until the lamb goes to 
market, both for the ewe and the lamb. 
Of course other things are cheaper than 
mangels, as for instance, corn silage or 
English turnips (certainly not carrots 
or potatoes, as he recommends), but for 
healthfulness of ewes, plenty of milk 
when lamb is born and of the best qual¬ 
ity, mangels will produce the best re-

vendors co-extensive with that accorded 
to purchasers of other commodities, 
namely, an action to recover damages 
for the injury sustained, rescission of 
the contract, or defense to an action 
brought to enforce the fraudulent obli¬ 
gation. I believe that, in justice, fur¬ 
ther protection to the purchaser is 
needed in the case of registered stock, 
where so much depends on the heredity 
of the animal purchased, its perform¬ 
ance and prepotency, matters which can 
be usually proved or ascertained only 
by record evidence. I would suggest 
that much of this additional protection 
could be secured by legislation requir¬ 
ing all applications for certificates of 
breeding or performance to be made 
under the oath of the breeder, owner or 
some other person alleging actual per¬ 
sonal knowledge of the facts stated in 
the application, and by making it a 
statutory offense, punishable by fine, for 
any association, corporation, or officer 
or agent of the same, or other person, 
issuing certificates of registration or per- 
sults. The newer improved varieties of 
mangels are very different from and 
very much superior to the old mangel, 
and are almost as good for human food 
as the table beets, and the sheep keeper, 
and especially the lamb raiser, cannot 
afford to try to get along without hav¬ 
ing plenty for feeding all his ewes ex¬ 
pected to raise lambs. They are succu¬ 
lent, easily digested, rich in food ele¬ 
ments and they are greatly relished by 
the sheep. They are very cooling to the 
system. They prevent constipation, the 
great danger to the breeding ewe. They 
are one of the best, if not the best, milk 
producing foods, and no lamb dropped 
by a ewe that has had an abundance 
of mangels to eat will need help to find 
its source of food when first born. 
Whatever else I had to feed I would 
never think of trying to raise lambs 
without plenty of mangels.

IMPROVED 
IN EVERY 
FEATURE 
Have you seen and examined the New and Improved 1908 
DE LAVAL Cream Separators? If not, and you own one or 
more cows don’t further hinder your best interests by delaying 
longer but let us give you a free demonstration in your own 
home at once. You will marvel at the mechanical perfection, 
the wonderful simplicity and convenience of these new 
machines. These new machines show improvements in every 
feature, from the supply can to the base of the machine, and 
mark the greatest move forward in separator construction 
since the invention of the first practical separator by Dr. 
De Laval in 1878. If you have milk cows you cannot afford 
to be without one. The new De Laval skims closer, has greater 
capacity, operates easier and is more ideal in every way than 
De Laval machines have been even in the past. The improved 
De Laval is actually ten years in advance of any other 
separator made to-day. There are ten new styles, ten new 
capacities and ten new prices. There is a machine for every 
dairy, from the smallest to the largest and at a price that will 
fit every pocket. Don’t regret later that you didn’t see the 
De Laval before you bought a machine but write us to-day for 
our handsome new catalogue describing the machines in detail 
and a free demonstration in your own home. You will be 
surprised. Don’t delay._

I Will Give You a Real 30 Day Free Trial With the Money In YOUR Pocket 
OU don’t have to pay me or any one else a single cent on the price of 
my spreader before you try it or after you try it, if it doesn’t prove 
itself to be the best made. I am not beginning in the spreader busi¬ 
ness. I have built spreaders for years. So I know what beginners don’t 
know. I know how to and do build the Galloway Spreader so it can’t break 
and wear out where experimental spreaders are sure to break and wear out. 
I challenge any other manure spreader seller or manufacturer to put 
his spreader alongside of the Galloway in the hardest kind of a test. 
I don’t care what other spreader you try—it won’t cost you a cent to try 
the Galloway at the same time. So it’s certainly to your advantage to 
try the Galloway at no cost to you even if you do put up your money to try 
any other spreader. If the Galloway doesn’t beat any other that you try, 
all you have to do is return it at my expense and you’re not out a penny 
and you haven’t risked a penny.
