Live Stock and Dairy 
Waiting Her Milk Turn. 
The picture at Fig. 300, is sent us by 
Mr. F. C. Douglass, of Washington 
County, N. Y. This seems to have been 
taken from an actual scene in the barn¬ 
yard. and is entitled “Waiting for Iler 
Turn.” It seems that the board of health, 
in order to be dead sure that milk is san¬ 
itary. insists that the first few streams 
shall be milked out and not be put into 
the pail. That is probably because these 
first few streams run freely with bacteria. 
Here we see is an economical young man 
who is milking that cow. lie has proba¬ 
bly listened to a professor at some dairy 
institute, who has told him of the high 
feeding value of milk. lie doesn’t in¬ 
tend that those first few streams shall be 
wasted on the ground when there is a 
healthy dog unafraid of bacteria, and al¬ 
ways ready for breakfast, so what is more 
natural than to milk those first few

West Virginia.—Those portions of 
Berkely County within a radius of five 
miles of infected premises are made modi¬ 
fied area and the remainder of the county 
restricted area. 
\\ isconsin.—Racine and Rock counties 
are made free area. 
The quarantine status in the other 
States is not changed. 
A Good Old Cow, 
The Guernsey cow Lily Bell of Can¬ 
terbury, 11352, now 22 years old, was 
raised by J. Arthur Jones, of Hopkinton, 
N. H., and purchased as a young calf for 
$15 by the Canterbury Shakers, Canter¬ 
bury, N. II. She has proven the founda¬ 
tion of their present Guernsey herd. She 
has never had more than one calf at a 
time, but has produced 18 calves, seven 
of which have been females, and has 53

streams right into the dog’s mouth? 
That’s a good bacteria trap, and the pro¬ 
duction of honest dog meat is very much 
more economical than milking into the 
dust of the barnyard. That is especially 
true when the dog is a friend of your 
youth, and you know what it is to have 
his shaggy coat rub up against you in 
time of trouble, so that you know that 
old Rover will stand by you through thick 
and thin. Here is an economical use, 
therefore, of these first streams of milk, 
and here is a bright boy who falls in with 
the board of health regulation without 
waste. And then there is the young 
woman with a cup, her turn will come 
next, after Rover has consumed all the 
thin milk and the bacteria, she will come 
forward with her cup and have it filled 
with the pure, unadulterated lacteal 
fluid. This seems to be an ideal milk 
arrangement all through. 
Live Stock Quarantine Changes. 
In effect June 7 the following changes 
in foot-and-mouth quarantine will be 
made: 
Illinois.—Lee and Ogle counties are 
made exposed area. The counties of Car- 
roll, DeKalb, LaSalle, Logan, Stephen¬ 
son and Whiteside are made restricted 
area. The following counties are made 
free area: Cass, Champaign. Coles. De¬ 
witt. Douglas. Edgar. Henderson, Iro¬ 
quois, Hancock, Kankakee. Knox, Liv¬ 
ingston. Macon. Mason, Manard, Moul¬ 
trie, Morgan, McBonaugh. Piatt, Put¬ 
nam, Rock Island, Stark, Tazewell, 
Woodford and Warren. 
Indiana.—All of the State is now- 
made free area except the Belt Railroad 
Stock Yards at Indianapolis. 
Kansas.—Those portions of Butler 
County within a radius of three miles of 
infected premises are made exposed area, 
and the remainder of the county restrict¬ 
ed area. 
New York.—Nassau County is made 
free area. 
Ohio.—All of the State is made free 
area, except the counties of Ashland, 
Auglaize, Clinton, Darke, Defiance, Erie, 
Greene. Hamilton, Hancock, Huron. 
Knox, Licking. Lorain, Montgomery, Ot¬ 
tawa. Paulding, Preble, Richland, San¬ 
dusky. Seneca, Summit, Wayne, Wood, 
Wyandot and the Union Stock Yards at 
Cleveland, Cuyahoga County. Montgom¬ 
ery and Paulding counties are made re¬ 
stricted area. All of Hamilton County 
is made modified area, except the Union 
Stock Y'ards at Cincinnati. 
Pennsylvania.—Butler and Fayette 
counties are made restricted area. The 
following counties are made free area: 
granddaughters among whom was the 
show cow, Glencoe’s Bopeep. She has 82 
great granddaughters, 30 grandsons and 
70 great grandsons. One of her daugh¬ 
ters. Lily Bell of Canterbury 3d, has had 
14 calves. She has never been sick a day 
in her life, has never lost a calf or had 
any udder trouble, and is due to calve 
soon. She has always been a persistent 
milker. When 12 years old she was given 
a churn test and produced an average of 
45 pounds of milk per day for seven days 
from which was made a trifle over 24 
pounds of butter. Her present physical 
condition is remarkable and would do 
credit to a much younger cow. When in 
the yard she runs and frolics like a young 
heifer, but at all times maintains her 
place as “mistress” of the herd against all 
comers. Her later calves have shown no 
diminution of vigor or strength on ac¬ 
count of her advanced age. 
Ration for Work Horses. 
1. I would like to have the proportions 
of a balanced ration for horses, com¬ 
posed of cracked corn, whole oats, with 
Alfalfa meal or bran, or both, and mo¬ 
lasses. These seem to be the prevailing 
feeds in this neighborhood, but if any 
other combination would be advisable, in¬ 
cluding molasses, I would like to know 
of it. This is for ordinary farm work 
horses. 2. Can you recommend to me 
a plain matter-of-fact work on the care 
and cure of ordinary ailments of horses. 
New Jersey. w. n. t. 
1. What is called a molasses feed for 
horses is made of about 50% cut Alfalfa, 
25% cracked corn, 15 to 20% whole oats 
and five to 10% molasses, depending upon 
its consistency. This makes a very good 
feed for farm horses but its continued 
use is not advisable as it may cause 
worms. A better plan would be to feed 
this molasses feed at noon only, and for 
the other two feeds give whole oats with 
about 10% wheat bran mixed with them. 
With a little good hay this will make 
a first-class ration which will keep horses 
in fine condition. A cheaper ration could 
be made by grinding corn, oats and rye 
together, equal parts for the night and 
morning feeds. This makes a very heavy 
feed, and horses should be worked every 
day when on full rations. 
2. One of the best horse books for 
farmers is “Diseases of the Horse, Re¬ 
vised Edition,” published by the Bepart- 
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
This is a large cloth-bound volume writ¬ 
ten by the best, experts in the country 
and covers the subject well. It has been 
for sale by the Superintendent of Docu¬ 
ments for 65 cents. c. s. G.
