Live Stock and Dairy 
A MISFIT CATTLE GRAVE. 
“Have you seen the New York Even¬ 
ing World?" At least a dozen friends 
asked that question about three weeks 
ago, and several more sent us a copy 
of the paper. The leading editorial for 
the day was headed “Forging Five 
Cows,” and the article in part, ran as 
follows: 
To dwellers in cities who do not know 
on which side of a cow to put the milk 
stool the idea that a cow can he forged 
is novel. 
Most cows cannot be forged, because 
they have no pedigrees. Many pedigreed 
cows in the United States are descended 
from the Island of Jersey, hence the name 
Jersey cow. Jersey lies in the English 
Channel and is part of Great Britain. Its 
dairymen have bred for hundreds of years 
until the blood of their cows is of purer 
and more certain strains than that of the 
English House of Lords. 
Frank E. Dawley, an official of the State 
Board of Agriculture, a director of the 
State Agricultural Institutes and one of 
the managers of the State Fair, w r as also 
in the cow business and sold to different 
parties cows which he represented to be 
pure blooded Jerseys, of which he fur¬ 
nished certificates of birth, registration and 
age. 
Some of the purchasers became suspic¬ 
ious about the age and breeding of these 
“AT MY ANGEL MOTHER'S GRAVE.” Fig. 467. 
Fumigation will get them. You may use 
powdered Jimson weed (Datura stra¬ 
monium). Eight ounces of the powdered 
woed when burned in a close room will 
fumigate 1,000 cubic feet. A material 
known as Culicide will do the same. This 
is made as follows : 
Mims’ “Culicide” is made of equal parts, 
by weight, of carbolic acid crystals and gum 
camphor. The directions are: take one 
pound of carbolic acid crystals and liquefy 
by placing the bottle in hot water; take 
one pound of gum camphor, break into small 
pieces, place in a one-quart jar, and as 
the acid liquefies pour it over the gum cam¬ 
phor, which will be gradually dissolved. 
When all the acid has been poured over 
the camphor and the latter has dissolved, 
there will be one full quart of a slightly 
reddish, heavy liquid. This is the Culicide, 
which will remain in this condition in¬ 
definitely, if kept covered. Three ounces 
evaporated in a closed room will suffice to 
kill all flies, mosquitoes and other insects 
in 1,000 cubic feet of space. These three 
ounces of Culicide will do the work of 
eight ounces of Datura stramonium. This 
can be burned in a metal pan over an 
alcohol stove. 
Heating Questions. 
II. E. G.j Fort Edward, N. T. —I was 
very much interested in the article by W. 
II. Miller on “Heating a Farm House,” as 
I hope in the near future to heat my house 
which will take about six radiators with 
coil for small conservatory. I have had 
some experience in cutting and threading 
pipe for gas, but had not thought I could 
cows and took the matter up with the 
American Jersey Club. Veterinaries were 
appointed to examine the cows and com¬ 
pare their real ages with the official reg¬ 
istry. Witnesses were heard and judgment 
was brought in finding Frank E. Dawley 
guilty of forging several cows. 
The age of the cows can be told by 
the rings on their horns and their teeth. 
It appeared from the testimony that two 
cows, called Dotsliome Czarlil and Dots- 
home Elizabeth W., represented to be the 
progeny of Dot’s Lily, were not born until 
some time after Dot’s Lily died. Also 
that Dotshome Matilda Naiad and Ma¬ 
tilda of Maple Row were not the daughters 
of Matilda of Side View. Instead of being 
of pure Jersey descent some of these were 
ordinary cows which Mr. Dawley had got 
in a trade. 
Following the finding of guilty, Mr. Daw¬ 
ley resigned his State office and was ex¬ 
pelled from the American Jersey Club. The 
readers of this paper who rarely see a 
cow, much less milk one, should know that 
tens of thousands of families in this State 
make a living through cows. To forge a 
cow affects more people than to forge a 
check. 
Accompanying the article were several 
pictures—the most striking of which is 
shown in Fig. 467. If in all the con¬ 
troversy over this celebrated case a bet¬ 
ter hit has been made we have failed 
to see it. “Forging Cows” is a new one, 
but it is none too strong as a brand for 
the crime of falsifying pedigrees. 
KILLING MOSQUITOES IN DECEMBER. 
Now is a good time to kill mosquitoes! 
What—the middle of December? 
Yes—there are no doubt a number of 
“breeders” hanging around your cellar wait¬ 
ing for Spring. With every one you kill 
you will get rid of about 300 “possibilities” 
next Spring. The house mosquito, Culex 
pipiens, winters in the adult or true mos¬ 
quito form. In the Fall they hunt for 
some sheltered spot—usually a barn or 
house cellar, where they curl up until 
Spring, when they come out, hunt for stag¬ 
nant water and lay their eggs. We have no 
doubt there are a dozen or more of them 
in your cellar right now—which really 
means nearly 4,000 eggs next Spring. 
install a heating plant. What size and 
price of boiler was used? What was cost 
of pipes and fittings, or total cost of plant, 
not including tools? Cost of each size of 
pipe per foot? What amount of coal is 
required per month in average Winter 
weather? What amount of evaporation of 
water? 
Ans. —The total cost of boiler, piping 
and radiators in my heating plant was 
about an even hundred dollars. I used 
a good grade of second-hand pipe 
largely, that cost me three cents per 
foot. New black inch pipe can be had 
for about five cents per foot; lJ4-inch, 
seven cents; lj^-inch, eight cents; two- 
inch, 11 cents. Good new radiators cost 
about 22 cents per square foot surface. 
My boiler of 250 feet capacity cost $36. 
Through the cold weather it took an 
average of one ton of coal per month 
to keep the house really warm and com¬ 
fortable. Evaporation of water cuts no 
figure. Perhaps four gallons for the 
year. These are Chicago prices, and 
are the quotations of five firms.

NEW-YORKER 
John Fritch, of Clarno,Wis., increased! 
his milk production 25 per cent—by I 
feeding Badger Dairy Feed to his cows. 
He feeds Badger Dairy Feed because he 
has proven —as have many thousands of 
others—that it makes more milk— 
and better cows —at less cost than 
any other feed. And the reason why 
^er Dairy Feed | 
does this, is because it is the right combin> 
ation of grains mixed with a certain 
amount of pure molasses to make it pala< 
table and succulent, which are ideally 
adapted to the cow’s needs. If you’ll 
feed it 15 days, you’ll never feed any¬ 
thing else because no other feed will 
bring you as good results.
