THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
1 Hi 
WHY “PAPERS” SHOULD FIT. 
Last year a man wrote me about some 
registered Yorkshire swine. I wrote 
him, giving description, age, etc. Among 
others I had I told him of a litter out 
of Marshview Ora 2d, No. 3607, and 
Brothertown Major, No. 6780, farrowed 
August 15. He wrote me if I would 
“hit him up to about September 15” he 
would take a boar pig, as he wanted it 
to show at fairs as “under one year 
old.” He wanted it registered as being 
farrowed September 15 instead of 
August 15. I wrote him that I had 
been selling my products here for over 
25 years and could get above the market 
price for all I had to sell, because 
what T sold was as represented. The 
meat I sold was from healthy animals; 
eggs warranted “every one good;” but¬ 
ter, A No. 1. I told him of a heifer 
] killed for beef. It was the fattest and 
nicest beef I ever saw, but when opened, 
the kidneys were bad (fatty degenera- 
eion of the kidneys, I suppose). The 
men who helped dress the beef said it 
could not be bad, it looked so good. 
One man said he would take one-half 
of it. I did not want to use any 
of it myself, and would not sell it. I | 
gave away some for poultry, but lost 
about $35 on my beef. I wrote the 
man and told him I would not misrep¬ 
resent the age of the pig, or “hit him 
up” one day, if he would take my whole 
herd. He afterwards ordered the pig 
but wrote me that “such principles might 
do for the backwoods, but would not 
answer in business.” Now the person 
I speak of was a man who follows up 
the Fall fairs, and the impression I 
got from what he wrote me was, that 
false registration is common. Is your 
cattle case an exceptional case, or is it a 
common thing to “hit them up” and 
send out false and fraudulent registra¬ 
tion papers, as this person wanted me 
to do? Without going into the merits 
of your case, the simple fact that they 
have avoided an investigation instead of 
courting it, is enough to convince me 
that something was wrong, something 
to be covered up; that some one was 
making such haste to be rich that they 
care not be “blameless.” 
If a man comes here to buy a pig, 1 
show him the pedigree of sire and dam 
and turn to my books and show him 
just what date the pig was farrowed, 
and when the certificate comes on from 
the secretary my customer has papers 
that fit the pig, and a pig that fits the 
papers. Does it pay to “hit them up?” 
I do not think so. 
I give it as my judgment that one 
false registration is an injury to every 
breeder. The fact some of those in 
authority try to cover it up, rather than 
to expose it, makes the one false regis¬ 
tration still more damaging, for people 
lose confidence in the powers that be 
and in the stock they would buy. If a 
court will discharge a man who steals 
$150,000 because there is no “criminal 
intent shown” and will send a man “up” 
for 30 days who steals a ham for his 
family, is it any wonder that people 
still consider the first man a colossal 
thief and lose confidence in the court?

A Spraying Question. 
J. S. F., Plainfield, F J .—I have just 
finished spraying some apple trees (10 
years old) with the sulphur-lime-salt mixture. 
They were badly infested with scale two 
years ago. I cut them back and sprayed 
them early last Spring with Scalecide. 
They made a good growth and appear to 
be free from scale now. Would it be ad¬ 
visable to spray these trees later on with 
Kc'alecide? They are cpilte well coated now 
with the lime and sulphur spray. 
Ans.—W e doubt if those trees need 
another spraying. The only sure way 
to tell is to examine them carefully in 
March for live scales. If you find any 
give them another dose—otherwise we 
would let them go. 
What Horses 
Need 
Conditioning horses for market requires skill 
in feeding. The stomach of the horse is not 
suited to the consumption of as much rough 
fodder as is that of the ox. The ration for the 
horse then, must be more concentrated— 
largely grains. But food itself is not more 
important than is a proper distribution of food 
after it’s eaten. Thus digestion becomes the 
function to which we look for all satisfactory 
growth and fattening. Now long-continued 
heavy feeding may bring stomach derangement, 
dropsical swellings or even colic. Hence t

MoraJ—Buy a Simple Machine. 
No cream separators made are more 
easily cleaned than the two simple, 
close-skimming I. H. C. cream har¬ 
vesters. Dairymaid and Bluebell. 
The two brushes which go with the 
machines, and a pan of hot water, will 
enable you to thoroughly clean your 
separator in short order. 
You can get at every part of the 
bowl and tinware with the brush. 
You can’t make too much of the 
matter of cleanliness in using a cream 
separator. It avoids odors and taints. 
It enables you to make high-grade 
products. 
It is the worst kind of a mistake not 
to buy a separator anybody can clean 
easily and quickly. 
The Dairymaid and Bluebell cream 
harvesters are not distinguished 
merely for their easy cleaning. They 
have every requisite to make them 
right working and valuable to their 
owners. 
They skim to a trace; that is, they 
get all the butter fat down to the 
thousandth part. 
Their wonderful simplicity makes 
them most durable. One of the prin¬ 
cipal reasons why they are so popular 
with users is that it is almost impos¬ 
sible for them to get out of order. 
The Dairymaid is a chain driven 
machine. The Bluebell is driven by 
simple gearing. 
If you need a cream harvester, call 
on any International local agent and 
talk the matter over with him. He 
will supply you with catalogs and full 
particulars. Or, if you prefer, write 
direct to the Home Office. You will 
be interested in securing a copy of 
“Development of the Cream Sepa¬ 
rator” or colored hanger which will 
be mailed on request.
