The Rambouillet Sheep. 
This breed, of the old Spanish Merino 
type, is named from the village of Ram¬ 
bouillet, in France, where for more than 
100 years the government has had a farm 
for the breeding and selection of these 
sheep. In 1810 a few were brought to 
this country as French Merino, which 
they were called for 40 years. This breed 
is the largest of the Merinos, a very 
heavy shearer and a fair mutton sheep. 
The two-year-old Rambouillet ram 
shown in the picture is Majestic 71350, 
health officer; a township is as much a 
municipality as an incorporated village or 
a city. According to the Sanitary Code 
of New York State, anyone who wishes 
to retail milk must first secure a permit 
from the health officer of the municipal¬ 
ity in which the milk is to be sold. This 
law does not apply to the owner of a 
“family cow’’ who merely disposes of the 
surplus above his family’s needs, but it 
does apply to anyone who keeps one or 
more cows for the purpose of retailing 
milk from them and in that way makes 
Majestic 71350, Two-year-old Rambouillet Ram Fig. 553. 
owned by F. S. King, of Wyoming. The 
ram is five feet two inches long and is 
said to have sheared 40 pounds of wool. 
A Quartette of Guernsey Cows, 
The four Guernsey cows shown in the 
picture on our first page are owned by 
the Anna Dean Farm, in Ohio. These 
cows are champions of the breed and to¬ 
gether they produced in one year 3,852.87 
pounds of fat and 76.458.50 pounds of 
milk. Some of our people who are fond 
of figures may interest themselves in 
showing how large a tank or vat would be 
required to hold this small flood of milk. 
These cows are surely good ones. As they 
stand in order we have first Murne Cowan 
19597. She has a record of 24,OSS 
pounds of milk and 1.098.18 pounds of 
fat in one year. Next comes Spotwood 
Daisy Pearl 17696. Her year’s record 
was 18,602.80 pounds of milk and 957.30 
pounds of fat. Beside her is Johanna 
Chene 30889. This young cow gave a 
year’s record of 16.186. <0 pounds of milk 
and 863.36 pounds of fat. At the left is 
Julia Chene 30460. She came forward 
with 17,661 pounds of milk and 9o3.53 
pounds of fat. This is surely a remark¬ 
able quartette of cows. They show the 
result of years of the most careful selec¬ 
tion. breeding and feeding. No one will 
pretend that you can go into an average 
herd and pick out such cattle as this, but 
taking the sons and daughters of such ani¬ 
mals coupled with the best of feeding and 
care we may greatly improve our working 
dairies and add to their capacity. 
Milk Law in New York State. 
I am a farmer owning my own farm iu 
Seneca Co., New York. I live in a cross¬ 
roads unincorporated village, where the 
town lines so run that half of the town is 
in one and half in another township. I 
have 10 head of cattle. Some of the town 
people want milk from me and I am in 
the habit of bringing to town daily about 
the product of one cow as milk iu bottles, 
which I deliver to people who have order¬ 
ed regular stated amounts. I do not carry 
extra milk or sell to anyone on the street 
who may chance to want milk. This is 
onlv a small part of my farm’s output. 
The health officers in both towns and the 
State district agent have been after me, 
wanting me to secure a permit to deal in 
milk, and an application is sent me which 
calls for a municipality permit, while I 
am not in and do not sell in any munici¬ 
pality. Although weeks ago I wrote to 
the department at Albany for information 
and although they wrote me that informa¬ 
tion covering the matter would be sent, 
they have up to the present time failed to 
do so. Must I take out a permit to sell 
part of the product of my farm? E. o. l. 
A municipality, within the meaning of 
the health law, is any portion of the com¬ 
munity coming under the jurisdiction of a 
the selling of milk a business. As you 
have stated the case, the law applies to 
you, even though the retailing of milk is 
but a small portion of your business. 
M. B. D. 
Cough. 
I have a hog which is about six months 
old, and which has a rattling sort of a 
cough. lie has had this cough since he 
was about two or three weeks old. I 
have doctored him. and haven’t had any 
success. The rattling in his throat can 
be heard a distance away. Would you 
let me know if there is anything that I 
could do for this hog to cure this cough? 
New York. w. \v. u. 
Cough indicates irritation and in treat¬ 
ing it the cause of irritation should, if 
possible, be determined. Lung worms 
may be the cause and if so treatment will 
not be likely to do much good, but a well- 
fed hog generally manages to withstand 
the ill-effects of the parasites. Tubercu¬ 
losis also is a possible cause of such a 
cough as you describe, and it is incura¬ 
ble. On general principles we should ad¬ 
vise you to feed slop of middlings, corn- 
meal. flaxseed meal and 10 per cent, of 
tankage. In the slop mix a teaspoonful 
of turpentine for each 80 pounds of body 
weight and repeat this for three days in 
succession and again the following week. 
This treatment is helpful for worms in 
the intestines and also is of some slight 
effect for lung worms. Do not feed salt. 
Hogs do not need much salt and are in¬ 
jured by salt liberally fed. A pound of 
salt to 100 pounds of meals used in mak¬ 
ing slop will suffice. A. s. a.

CATTLE 
f armers looking for the largest profit 
in dual purpose cattle should not overlook the 
fact that the Holstein-Friesian breed represents 
the ideal beef and milk form. The registered 
purebred Holstein has a higher percentage of 
weight in the hind quarters than any other 
breed. Holstein beef is of high quality. Holstein 
steers inherit from their dams a capacity for 
assimilating large quantities of feed, make fast 
weight gains, and are most economical pro¬ 
ducers of beef. Investigate the big "Black-and- 
Whites.”
