SOME ANGUS ADVANTAGES. 
While an occasional Angus cow 
proves to be a heavy milker, this breed 
of cattle is preeminently a beef breed, 
and this fact is shown by the picture, 
Fig. 340, which is of an animal in ordi¬ 
nary flesh and not fleshed up for the 
show ring. This animal has good loins 
and good depth of body, and also the 
other characteristics of the breed, such 
as the lack of the prominent hook bones, 
giving a general well-rounded appear¬ 
ance to the animal, short legs and a 
polled head. Of all beef breeds the 
Angus has the roundest form which, to¬ 
gether with the fineness of bone, give the 
Angus cattle, when slaughtered, the 
highest percentage of dressed weight. 
Actual thickness of flesh is an important 
factor responsible in part for the above 
fact, as is also the fact that Angus cattle 
can stand heavy feeding without produc¬ 
ing an undue amount of tallow. In short, 
Angus cattle have a thick layer of flesh 
covering their bodies, and the ability 
when on a fattening ration, of depositing 
lots of fat in the layer of flesh, giving in 
a marked degree the “marbled” appear¬ 
ance so much sought for and so desir¬ 
able in prime beef. Augus cattle are 
usually very gentle, mature early and

bulls are treated properly they would not 
be sold for (bologna) sausage so soon, 
and when one proves a superior dairy 
sire he would be kept until old. I keep 
my herd bulls until they are past useful¬ 
ness, about 12 years old. While I can¬ 
not do fully as should be, my plan is, 
give as large a paddock as possible, with 
a good warm and large box having doors 
that can be closed to shut in or out. The 
paddock is fenced with two-inch oak put 
on inside of good posts, set four feet 
apart and five feet high. R. A. Sibley 
at Spencer, Mass., has such an arrange¬ 
ment, but more elaborate than mine. A 
cow is easily let in for service and safely 
taken out. 
Now, a few emphatic don’ts: Do not 
let him run with the cows, nor abuse 
him, nor underfeed because he does not 
give milk; remember an underfed animal 
lacks the power to produce vigorous 
progeny. If you let him run with the 
cows, there is likely to be a funeral from 
your home some day. If you abuse him 
he will remember you for it; if you both 
live he will pay you back with com¬ 
pound interest doubled up, if it is years 
afterward, for some day you will not be 
watching him, and his memory will be 
better than yours. And lastly, possibly 
most important, do not trust him. You 
and I get angry, often without cause 
perhaps, so does he; treat him decently 
Let Him Alone 
Perhaps some maker or agent of 
common cream separators is trying to 
sell you a disk-filled or 
other com- plicated machine 
by claiming it is simplest, 
52 disks from one common separator exchanged 
for Dairy Tubular. The maker calls it 
simple and easy to clean. 
most efficient, or most durable. Ask 
him why he makes such claims when 
everybody knows that 
Sharpies Dairy Tubular 
Cream Separators 
have neither disks nor other contraptions, yet 
produce twice the skimming force, skim faster, 
skim twice as clean, wash easier and wear longer 
than common machines. If he tries to dispute 
these facts, ask him to go with you to the nearest 
Tubular agent and disprove them. If he refuses 
to go, just let him alone—his machine is not the 
kind you want 
Tubulars are The World’s Best. Sales easily 
exceed most, if not all, others combined. Prob¬ 
ably replace more common separators than any 
one maker of such machines sells. World’s 
biggest separator works. Branch factories in 
Canada and 
Germany.

make desirable feeders. In some respects 
their black color is objectionable, and 
there seems to be a tendency in the breed 
toward a coarseness of shoulder and a 
narrowness of hindquarter. The fact 
that these cattle are polled is responsible 
for a lot of “butting” on the part of the 
young cattle during Winter or in cool 
weather, mostly in fun, but not at all de¬ 
sirable. However, this is a defect com¬ 
mon to all polled cattle, and to cattle 
dishorned when calves. Though exceed¬ 
ed in numbers by both Shorthorns and 
Ilerefords, Angus cattle are increasing 
very rapidly in numbers in America, and 
are usually in the lead at fat stock shows 
and on the market. w. E. d.

BRIEF TALK ON DAIRY BULLS. 
The sales of bulls seem to be when the 
farmer has his crop money in the Fall 
and early Winter. I have had 13 on 
hand at Thanksgiving and before Spring 
returned money sent, as they were all 
sold. Another season is as the Spring 
cows come in, they want a yearling “right 
away.” Some want calves at time they 
wean theirs for veal, because they seem 
to think a young bull should be cheap. 
It is dangerous to ship a young calf in 
cold weather. A man came and picked 
three calves December 23, took them in 
crates on a very cold day; train was two 
hours late, and they stood exposed on 
express truck. Every one had colds and 
eventually died. He blamed me, although 
I did not want to ship in extreme 
weather. They keep a bull usually until 
be gets cross, then sell him for beef. If 
(humanely), remember he is a very val¬ 
uable asset, and you will find it pays.

. Injured Udder 
I have a six-year-old Durham cow that 
got hooked in the udder on the right side 
in the space between the two teats. The 
hind quarter on that side is about twice as 
large as it should be and quite hard. She 
milks all right and gives a normal flow from 
that quarter, but it would hurt the sale of 
her badly. Can you advise treatment?

I have a horse six years old, in good 
order; his coat looks sleek, hut for a month 
past he has been biting himself; where he 
has not broken the skin there are lumps. 
What is the matter with him? w. j. w. 
New Jersey. 
Have the horse clipped. Stop feeding 
grain and especially avoid corn in warm 
weather. Grass sometimes causes the itchi¬ 
ness, which indicates indigestion. We are 
taking it for granted that chicken lice are 
not getting on to the horse and causing 
itchiness of the skin. After clipping sponge 
the affected parts as required with a solu¬ 
tion of half an ounce of hyposul-hite of 
soda to a quart of soft water, and give half 
an ounce of granular hyposulphite of soda 
in drinking water or feed every night until 
the irritation ceases. a. s. a.
