to 5*4 cents per quart. Two or three 
large milk concerns in New York are 
working up new restaurant trade on the 
basis of $1.85 per 40-quart can. 
BUTTER. 
An advance of one-fourth cent has 
been made on the better grades of fresh 
creamery, though trade is light at this 
figure and buyers very critical as to 
quality. The proportion of high scoring 
creamery is smaller than usual. Packing 
stock is rather scarce, and there is a 
fairly active market for factory and pro¬ 
cess.

About 3,000 carloads of Bermuda 
onions will be shipped from Texas this 
year. The cabbage and lettuce marketed 
thus far amounts to 2,000 cars, and there 
will be at least 4,000 cars of new pota¬ 
toes.

Two interesting definitions were recently 
given by eminent authorities. The N. Y. 
health board describes sausage as. “a com¬ 
minuted meat from cattle or swine, or a 
mixture of such meats, either fresh, salt¬ 
ed, pickled or smoked, with or without 
added salt and spices, and with or with¬ 
out the addition of edible animal fats, 
blood and sugar.” 
The other definition concerns the 
stringless bean canned, which, according 
to the Government agricultural authori¬ 
ties, is “auy young bean processed so 
young as to have escaped having its 
strings get tough.”

In a New York restaurant of the type 
where the customer gives his order at a 
counter, the counter man shouting it 
through a window to the chef and his 
assistants, is a man of all work called 
Tony. Counter men, assistant man¬ 
agers, etc., are frequently changed, for 
reasons satisfactory to them or the boss, 
but through all these various dispensa¬ 
tions Tony stays on the job. lie can 
scrub the floor, wash dishes, clear the 
tables, dress the window and wait on cus¬ 
tomers, and he is an artist at making 
two-story shortcake, with the strawber¬ 
ries set like little steeples ou the ground 
work of beaten egg and sugar. In addi¬ 
tion to all of thin adaptability he has the 
rare accomplishment of not talking much, 
which adds materially to his value in a 
job where deeds, rather than words, are 
needed. _ w. w. H. 
Fistula of the Milk Duct. 
1. We have a young cow four years 
old which had one of her teats scratched 
in the pasture fence last Fall, when she 
had her calf by her side, and we never 
paid any attention to it. It healed up 
and now the milk leaks out of that one 
teat steadily. Is there any way that we 
could cure it? 2. We bought a city mare 
which had been driven without any shoes 
on and now she has the points of her 
hoofs from her hind feet all worn off. 
We had her shod and now she goes lame, 
but the hind ones worst Could you 
give us any advice about this case? 
New Jersey. j. l. 
1. When the cow is dry have the fistu¬ 
lous opening closed by operation, or by 
cauterizing with a red hot knitting nee¬ 
dle or other instrument. Better have a 
qualified veterinarian do the work. Mean¬ 
while bind a strip of surgeons’ tape 
around the part. 2. As soon as the 
ground is soft remove the shoes and turn 
the mare to pasture for the Summer. 
Once a mouth blister the hoof-heads with 
cerate of cantharides, after removal of 
the hair. This will stimulate growth of 
new Bound horn. a, s. a.

I AY after day

the milk that goes 
to the hogs — be¬ 
cause you are not

ly and saves ail 
this cream. (Yom

The cream you ary

you don't think so, 
listen to this: 
Actual tests at Purdue Experiment Station 
proved that one dairyman with 20 cows lost 
$524.10 in one year by “guessing” at the 
speed he turned the crank.

$18.50 tn on* month because he guessed. ” The 
Stewart Speed Indicator 
for Cream Separators 
goes on the crankshaft of your separator and 
shows the exact speed you are cranking. Just 
tell us the name of your separator, its num¬ 
ber, and what year it was made. We 
furnish the Stewart Speed Indicator on a 
new crankshaft that will fit. (If yours is a 
De Laval, then no extra crankshaft is neces¬ 
sary.)

International cream separators. 
They separate the milk at milking time when 
it separates best. Once or twice a week they 
have only the cream to take to the creamery and the 
fresh, warm skim milk builds up fat, healthy pigs 
and calves. They save slow and wasteful skimming 
by hand and save many creamery trips. 
Buy an International cream separator — Lily, 
Bluebell, or Dairymaid, and get longest wear and 
best service. Experts design and build Interna¬ 
tional separators. They build them strong, per¬ 
fectly adjusted, and easy to operate. Note for 
example the low supply can, the high skim milk 
spout, the strong sanitary open-base frame, and such 
interior perfections as the tool steel spindles, the 
bronze bushings, the spiral gears, etc. 
If you will write us we will send you illustrated 
catalogues telling all about International cream 
separators. If you do not know who sells them we 
will tell you where they may be seen.
