A GOOD BROOD SOW. 
The brood sow shown in the picture, 
below is of the type so much desired 
by experienced hog men, as having good 
bone and size, the ability to produce 
and nourish large litters, and though 
they possess considerable scale, yet they 
are not so to the extent of being coarse 
and rough. The long experienced hog 
man will select such sows, even if a 
little rough, because they are good 
mothers and have large litters, and to 
get fineness of bone and early maturity 
in the pigs will depend upon such traits 
being inherited from the boar, which it 
is desirable should be as neat and com¬ 
pactly built as possible. The sow shown 
in the picture has produced several large 
■litters, and has saved all the pigs, being 
•careful and gentle. Though not purebred 
A FA KM MONEY MAKER. 
she is well bred, with Poland China 
blood predominating. The importance 
of the brood sow may be realized when 
we consider that it is not the steer, but 
the hog, that is the great American 
meat animal. w. e. d.

LIVE STOCK IN A SPRAYED ORCHARD. 
I am always fearful of giving advice, 
that may get anyone into trouble, hence 
1 give my experience with such or- 
•chards, and, if you follow my advice, 
and lose an animal, for I have heard of 
their being poisoned by spray material, 
do not lay the blame at my door. Bor¬ 
deaux Mixture alone could do little 
harm. Poison with it might, if one 
was careless in spilling it around. As 
a matter of fact, we are using a solu¬ 
tion strong enough to kill an insect as 
large as the point of a lead pencil. A 
hog or sheep, naturally would have to 
get a lot of the material to do them 
any harm, if it was applied only to the 
trees with the normal drip on the grass 
underneath and about them. I have 
for years sprayed with different forms 
of arsenical poisons—last year using 
wholly arsenate of lead, three pounds 
to GO gallons, and have sheep, swine and 
calves in the orchards, at the same 
time, and never a case of injury. If we, 
through an accident spilled .some of the 
spray, we have thrown some earth over 
it. Really the danger is slight, but it is 
always wise to exercise care in handling 
poison anywhere. Most accidents come 
from carelessness. This Spring we 
cleaned out the dry stuff from the bot¬ 
tom of our tank before soaking it up 
for this year’s campaign. There was 
about a half pailful of lime and other 
sediment, left from the last spraying of 
the potatoes a year ago. It was put 
in a pail, and later I found thrown on 
the ground in a cultivated orchard, I 
presume with the thought that it would 
soon be plowed under. Later, my wife 
missed a fine hen turkey, for which she 
had paid a high price, and from which 
she was expecting many eggs, to hatch 
in due season into turkeys for Thanks¬ 
giving. She found her in that orchard 
dead, not far from where she also found 
the lime refuse referred to. In picking 
rr h tc rural, 
up the lime saturated with the settlings 
from several tanks, the turkey got 
enough poison to destroy her future 
usefulness, except for fertilizer, and 
that more expensive than nitrogen in 
old leather scraps. I doubt not, that 
turkey might have taken a drink out of 
a tank of the mixture as applied with¬ 
out serious injury, but this was differ¬ 
ent. It was like most “bad luck,” sim¬ 
ply bad management, or carelessness.

R. N.-Y.—In the last report of the 
Massachusetts Experiment Station, some 
elaborate experiments to test the effect 
of arsenate of lead on hay grown in a 
sprayed orchard are recorded. These 
show the possible danger of continued 
feeding of hay from such orchards. 
Garget. 
We have a cow, an Alderney, hitherto 
always giving milk of excellent quality, hut 
recently, though much as usual while 
fresh, after standing a little, it acquires a 
hitter taste. It was previously discovered 
that the milk from one teat was some¬ 
what thick, and this condition seemed to 
exist by turns in different teats. Can you 
explain the reason of this and suggest a 
remedy? The straining cloth has been 
changed repeatedly, sometimes using only 
the tine wire sieve or strainer of the ket¬ 
tle, which has been scrubbed with little 
brush. J. h. 
New Jersey. 
Treat the cow for garget, as the utensils 
do not seem to he to blame for the con¬ 
dition of the milk, and you say that the 
milk came thick from one teat, indicating 
mammitis (garget). We take it for granted 
that you have had her tested with tuber¬ 
culin. as that is a necessary procedure in 
dairying. (Jive her half an ounce of fluid 
extract of poke root and two drams of 
saltpeter twice daily In water. Lessen the 
rations. If the udder shows any sign of 
hardness or swelling foment with hot water 
twice daily and then rub thoroughly with 
fluid extracts of poke root and belladonna 
leaves. a. s. a. 
Imperfect Udder. 
What can T do for a two-year-old Hoi- 
stein-Friesian heifer that has an imperfect 
udder. She freshened April 26 with three- 
quarters of her udder very much swollen 
and the left front quarter of her udder 
not swollen much. The quarters that were 
swollen are all right now, but the one 
that did not swell up very much is about 
one-third the size it ought to be, and has 
little lumps in it about the size of a 
hulled walnut. There seems to be no sore¬ 
ness and not much milk. Would it be a 
good idea to Inflate the small quarter with 
air? H. h. u. 
Ohio. 
Inflating with air may do some good 
if there has been an attack of garget, which 
does not seem to be the case so far as we 
can judge from your statement. Better sim¬ 
ply hand massage the quarter three times 
daily and feed to stimulate milk flow.

Because Sharpies Dairy 
Tubulars have suspend¬ 
ed, self-balancing bowls 
containing neither disks nor other contraptions, 
and produce twice the skimming force, skim 
twice as clean, skim faster and wash several 
times easier than common separators. That is 
why fanners all over the world call Tubulars 
“The World’s Best.” 
World’s biggest separator works. Branch 
factories in Canada and Germany. Sales easily 
exceed most, if not all, others combined. Prob¬ 
ably replace more common separators than any 
one maker 
of such ma¬ 
chines sells.
