THAT CELEBRATED GUERNSEY CASE. 
Did Missy Give Nine Per Cent Milk ? 
Part IV. 
Did I understand you to say that a 
“doctored” five per cent milk analyzed 
about the same as this sample of Missy’s 
milk? J. L. \v. 
You did. You have seen what Prof. 
Smith found in the sample said to be 
given by the cow Missy. You will re¬ 
member that this cow, when watched by 
outside parties, gave a milk containing 
about five per cent of fat. A sample of 
normal milk containing about five per 
cent fat was taken. To this was added 
sufficient cream to give just about the 
same analysis as Missy’s milk showed. 
See how close they come to it:

Milk with

No one has yet shown a sample of 
normal milk like that claimed for this 
cow. Yet we see that it is easily matched 
by adding cream to just about such milk 
as the inspectors found Missy giving. 
You will remember that this special 
committee engaged Prof. Sherman to 
hunt up abnormal samples of milk to 
demonstrate that this “liquid butter ’ 
from Missy* was possible. He found 
some odd samples, as we have shown, 
yet in summing up the case Prof. Sher¬ 
man says convincingly on page 67 of the 
report: “In none of these cases here 
given, whether normal or abnormal, do 
we find a distribution of constituents 
such as would result from the addition 
of cream to ordinary milk.” 
Yet as we show above cream actually 
added to normal milk almost exactly 
duplicated Missy’s “liquid butter.” In 
addition to this the leading dairy experts 
of the country agree that Missy’s milk 
plainly indicated that such addition of 
cream had been made. Yet in the face 
of all this that special committee actu¬ 
ally said in its report: 
“There is no evidence, however, to 
shozv that cream zvas added to the milk, 
or that it zvas, in any zvay, deliberately 
tampered zvith.” 
It is now up to the committee to stand 
up and say what they call evidence if 
this is not, or what proof they ask for 
that this milk is suspicious, if these 
opinions and this sample is not suen 
proof? We venture to say there is not 
one of them who if on a grand jury 
would not hold a man for trial when 
such evidence was offered. W hy then 
whitewash the cow or rather her hand¬ 
lers ? 
As we have stated, the great argument 
or excuse made to explain these re¬ 
markable tests is that the cow was suf¬ 
fering from foot rot. Grant, for the 
sake of argument, that the cow was ac¬ 
tually sick November 26 to 30, what sort 
of milk would be expected from her? 
We saw last week the sort of milk 
which sick cows give in three samples 
from the German chemist Timpe. There 
were three samples from cows sick with 
foot rot—all containing nearly twice as 
much fat as normal German milk, and 
all with more solids not fat than of 
actual fat. Now. if this is the effect of 
foot rot, how did it happen that Missy 
gave milk containing 4.89 per cent fat 
when sick and 8.98 per cent when she 
was considered well, two days later ? 
The poor cow ought to have known the 
rule laid down by that committee that 
sick cows ought to give milk higher in 
fat! Or perhaps some one thought that 
since “there is but one Missy of the 
Glen” it would be very hard on the cow 
and her owner to let that test drop from 
9.07 in October to 4.89 in November! 
You can see for yourself what great 
things may be accomplished by putting 
a little cream into a sample of five per 
cent milk! 
Look at it any way you like—can you 
get away from the suspicion that this 
sample of milk which was to form the 
basis for a great test was a fake sample? 
Do you believe after these figures and 
expert opinions that Missy produced 
milk containing 8.98 per cent of fat on 
that day or on any other day? She did 
not do it when carefully watched by the 
experts, and you can now readily see 
why we insist that the cow must “come 
back” with some of that nine per cent 
milk before the suspicion is wiped,out. 
We think this committee should have 
taken the bull, or the cow, by the horns 
and plainly stated that while these sus¬ 
picious circumstances surrounded the 
test, it must not become a part of offi¬ 
cial Guernsey history. That is the feel¬ 
ing of a large majority of the Guernsey 
breeders. When it becomes evident that 
breeding injunctions is more profitable 
than breeding cows the Guernsey Cattle 
Club would far better go out of busi¬ 
ness. Who do the Guernsey breeders 
think will have any respect for their 
tests or “advanced registry” if they are 
obliged to admit that their star perform¬ 
ance is a judge-made record by a cow 
tied to a grave suspicion? 
LIVE STOCK IN THE SOUTH. 
Not until a few years ago did the South¬ 
ern people give any attention to the live 
stock industry. We are now waking up 
to the opportunities of the South, and I 
am looking forward within the next few 
years to see a great improvement. We 
have improved our herd of dairy cows by 
keeping a record and weeding out the 
boarders. We are now trying to improve 
on their ancestors by introducing new 
blood and keeping the heifer calves from 
the best cows. w. d. byrd.

Pig Experience.—I am a mechanic em¬ 
ployed in a local factory; also am a would- 
be farmer. I have a place of about seven 
aeVes on outskirts of city. About two years 
ago I conceived the idea of raising pigs, 
so got one along in June. I had good suc¬ 
cess, butchered in late November, hog weigh¬ 
ing in neighborhood of 250 pounds, and nice 
pork. I thereupon bought a pair, sow and 
barrow (now keep an eye on the sow). This 
sow was smallest of litter, but as she grew 
and thrived and nearly caught up to the 
barrow in size I resolved to go the limit 
in a small way in the pig business, so at 
about eight months old I bred her with the 
idea, if I found anything in it, of selling 
the pigs, saving a couple of sows from the 
litter and fattening the old one in Fall. 
Right here is where the joke comes in. The 
?ow farrowed 11 nice healthy pigs, but not 
i female in litter. Did any reader ever 
Know of similar litter? Sow is due to pig 
again in two weeks. r. d. n.

DR. HESS Poultry PAN-A-CE-A 
Makes Poultry Keeping Pay 
No doubt of it! Thousands who began in a humble way, with a few hens and "The Dr. Hess Idea” 
of feeding, are to-day making good money from poultry. 
Why ? Because Dr. Hess Poultry Pan-a-ce-a has put the business on an economical basis. It has elim- 
. lnate d costly food waste and brought about trofitable food consumption. It has done this by strengthen¬ 
ing the hen s digestive process so that the greater part of the food she eats is actually converted into flesh and 
eggs instead of passing off as waste matter. 
Experience has abundantly proved that the use of 
DR. HESS Poultry PAN-A-CE-A 
in small daily doses in the soft feed (a penny’s worth feeds 30 fowls one day) does, and will, vastly increase the produc¬ 
tion of eggs. It makes young chicks grow fast. It helps hens through the moulting period. It fats old hens or young 
cockerels for market in a short time and it prevents many common poultry ailments —all because it gives strong digestion 
and a sound body. Sold on a written guarantee—if Dr. Hess Poultry Pan-a-ce-a doesn’t 
do what we claim, your dealer will refund your money. Remember—"a poor - 
ration, well digested, is better than the best ration poorly digested”—this 
"The Dr. Hess Idea” of feeding which is making poultry keeping 
a successful business.
