THAT CELEBRATED GUERNSEY CASE. 
Did Missy Give Nine Per Cent Milk? 
Part III. 
As we have pointed out, the case of 
this Guernsey cow hinges on that sam¬ 
ple of milk. We have shown that it 
had all the appearance of a sample of 
five per cent milk to which extra cream 
had been added. If we are correctly in¬ 
formed this cow, Missy, gave about a 
five per cent milk whenever she was 
watched and tested by outsiders for any 
length of time. The special committee 
which was appointed to investigate gives 
at some length a report by Prof. IT. C. 
Sherman. His argument is that milk 
high in fat also contains high percent¬ 
age of solids not fat, protein, ash, etc. 
He compiles analyses of normal milk 
which with two exceptions show that 
when the fat is high the other solids 
are also high. You will remember that 
the sample said to be Missy’s milk con¬ 
tained 8.98 per cent fat and 8.83 per 
cent solids not fat. The two exceptions 
noted by Prof. Sherman were as fol¬ 
lows : 
No. 1G. This sample was from a very 
old and feeble cow, which had not been 
milked regularly, and was killed the next 
day: Yield the day of test, six pounds. 
No. 17. This sample was taken im¬ 
mediately upon the arrival of the cow, after 
a railway journey. Yield for the day only 
about eight pounds. 
These cases do not explain the 
strange analysis of Missy’s milk. She 
was giving a large mess—not six or 
eight pounds as those cows were. She 
was vigorous and strong, while those 
other cows were old and feeble, or tired 
out from a long journey. They present 
no argument therefore to prove that it 
was probable that Missy gave nearly 
1200 pounds of milk containing more 
fat than other solids. In fact, as we 
read it, Prof. Sherman’s argument 
makes it clear that normal milk, upon 
which an important test should be made, 
ought to show a high per cent of solids 
not fat. 
We have no quarrel with this com¬ 
mittee. As Mr. Hammond says, they 
did a lot of hard and unpleasant work, 
but we think their conclusions are open 
to fair criticism. Their explanation of 
these remarkable tests is that Missy am} 
the other cow, Glenanaar, were suffer¬ 
ing from hoof rot. They both ate their 
full grain rations, “fully recovered” in 
two days, and gave from 27 to 30 
pounds of this high-tested milk each 
day. Does any dairyman who ever 
milked a cow think that an animal which 
can do that is sick enough to be respon¬ 
sible for that remarkable milk analysis? 
Prof. Sherman quotes the analysis of 
three cows suffering from foot rot, on 
which this committee laid great stress. 
Here they are: 
No. 1. Fat 8.76%. Solids not fat 9.01 
No. 2. Fat 9.18%. Solids not fat 10.63 
No. 3. Fat 10. %. Solids not fat 10.61 
These figures go to prove what has 
already been stated, that in cases of high 
per cent fat the solids not fat are still 
higher. And here are a few analyses 
of the milk given by cows that were 
actually sick. This list, which might be 
greatly extended, is taken from “Foods. 
Their Composition and Analysis” (page 
252): . .

In all these cases the per cent of 
solids not fat in the milk is higher* 
THK RURAh NEW-YORKER 
than the fat content and there is not a 
case in the list where the entire secre¬ 
tion of a sick cow contained nine per 
cent of fat. As a general rule, the milk 
of really sick cows will contain ab¬ 
normally low fat contents, and the 
solids not fat are just as apt to be 
above normal as below, but will also be 
higher than the fat. The milk flow of 
the above cows is only given in two 
cases, viz., No. 7, one gallon, and No. 
8, 70 cubic centimeters, or about W /2 
ounces. In other cases, the cows gave 
doubtless more milk than this, but we 
may safely assume that there was not a 
single cow in the bunch that gave nearly 
30 pounds of milk. In seems evident, 
therefore, that a cow that does give as 
much milk as that, cannot be very sick 
and that the fat in her milk could not 
jump from 4.89 to nearly nine per cent 
without there being a still greater 
change in the opposite direction in the 
flow of milk. 
Next week we can go still further 
into this question of “hoof rot” and 
this curious sample of milk. 
The Dairymen’s League. 
I would like to know full particulars 
about the Dairymen’s League, their rules 
and how they help the farmers. Do you 
think they will help us farmers In getting 
a better price for our milk? We are get¬ 
ting four cents a quart for milk delivered 
to Philadelphia market; freight was raised 
from 22% to 27% cents on a 40-quart can 
on account of new Pennsylvania milk law, 
and no raise in the price of milk. All feed 
stuff is high. M. F. c.

A Good Judge of Cows 
is likely to be a good judge of a cream separator.. The 
same quality of brains that enables a man to breed high- 
class dairy cattle, leads him to buy the best cream separator. 
It is worth noting that the man who produced the 
World's Record Holstein cow 
COLANTHA 4TH’S JOHANNA, 
has a United States Cream Separator. This man is 
W. J. Gillette, of Rosendale, Wis. 
And do you know that the owner of 
JACOBA IRENE, 
the great record-breaking Jersey cow, A. O. Auten, of 
Jerseyville, Ill., uses the United States Separator on his 
farm ? 
Also the owners of the wonderful $10,000 Guernsey cow 
YEKSA SUNBEAM, 
the Rietbrock estate, of Helendale Farms, at Athens, 
Wi»., use four United States Separators on their farms. 
TWILIGHT LONAN. 
Chas. L. Hill, of Rosendale, Wis., owner of the 
celebrated Guernsey cow Twilight Lonan, uses a United 
States Cream Separator on his farm. 
LORETTA D. 
F. H. Scribner, of Rosendale, Wis., who developed 
the celebrated Jersey cow Loretta D., and who is one of 
the great Jersey breeders of the country, uses a United 
States Cream Separator. 
If the United States Separator is the separator for 
these business men and thousands of others, leaders of the 
dairy world, why not for you? These experts—men who 
know, and do—require the use of a separator which skims 
closest, washes easiest, runs easiest, and wears longest. 
This is the reason they all choose the United States 
Separator. Send for Catalog No. 159 today. 
The United States Separator holds World’s Record, 
therefore is the World’s Standard Separator.
