Live Stock and Dairy 
The “ Long-distance” Dairy Champion 
Sometimes when the great individual 
cow records for short periods are given, 
farmers say: “That is all right for one 
month or one year, but we want a cow 
that will go on milking for life. Can 
these big record makers ‘come back’ and 
keep up their good work?” 
It is a natural question and it looks 
as if the Jersey cow Sophie 19th of Hood 
Farm had answered it. The American 
Jersey Cattle Club claims that “Sophie” 
is the greatest dairy cow in the world— 
of any breed. The following evidence is 
presented to prove the claim : 
In 1914 “Sophie” broke the Jersey 
breed record with a production of 
Horse Refuses Carrots 
I have about 20 bushels of long car¬ 
rots. How can I use these to the best 
advantage? I have one horse, two cows, 
two pigs and 100 chickens. I should like 
to feed them to the horse, but he will not 
eat them even when they are cut up small 
and feed put on them. The horse is an 
old one. Can I grind the carrots up and 
mix it with horse feed? If so how much 
carrots can be fed a day. h. d. 
New Jersey. 
We never heard of a horse before that 
would not eat carrots. Our own horses 
are crazy for them, and cannot get enough 
of them. There is something wrong with 
this horse, or with his teeth, if he will 
not eat these carrots, and it is doubt¬ 
ful if you can make him eat them. It 
Champion Cow, Sophie 19th, of Hood Farm 
17,557.8 pounds milk, 999.1 pounds of 
butterfat. She calved on August 21, 
1914. and was started on September 20th 
on the test which she has just com¬ 
pleted. Milked but twice a day, and 
carrying a calf 175 days of the test, 
“Sophie” completed her sixth lactation 
and sixth year’s record with a produc¬ 
tion of 11.915.4 pounds of milk, contain¬ 
ing 680.5 pounds of fat, or S 00.6 pounds 
of 85% butter .

A total of 75.920.8 pounds of milk, 
5,217 pounds of 85% butter, for six con¬ 
secutive lactations earns “Sophie” the 
title of World’s Champion Long Distance 
Dairy Cow. _ 
Cow With Udder Trouble 
I have a cow whose udder is caked 
just one half of it. Thick yellow milk 
in clots comes out. What can I do for 
it? c. R. 
This cow may have tuberculosis, which 
shows itself in such gargety symptoms. 
It would be well to have her tested with 
tuberculin. Chronic garget seldom yields 
satisfactorily to treatment, even though 
not tuberculous. Such cows are likely to 
be troublesome every time they freshen, 
and between times when exposed to chilly 
rain. They are better fattened and sent 
to the block if possible. A simple case 
of caked udder may come from inflamma¬ 
tion at calving time or lying on cold or 
wet ground or floors. Bathing the udder 
with hot water, wiping dry and then rub¬ 
bing with a mixture of lard and salt or 
an ointment made by combining one 
ounce each of fluid extract poke root and 
belladonna leaves with six parts of lard 
may help. 
Poorly Ripened Cream 
On page 1443 I note your diagnosis of 
G. Q.’s “Butter-making Troubles.” I 
had the identical result that G. Q. has 
when I first began making butter. The 
source of the trouble was the fact that I 
knew nothing about the meaning of the 
term “ripened cream.” I churned my 
cream when it was practically sweet, 
with the result that the butter was good 
when churned, but in a few days would 
seem to ferment. If G. Q. will keep her j 
cream in a temperature of about 70 deg. 
until it sours and thickens, then when it 
has reached this stage churn, I'll wager 
she will have sweet butter that will keep 
indefinitely. MRS. H. g. s. 
Penn Yan, N. Y. 
would not pay to grind the carrots. It 
might pay to put them in a box or bar¬ 
rel and then with a heavy stick or maul 
smash them into a pulp. Then you can 
feed this pulp with the grain scattered 
over it. If the horse does not care for 
them, however, we should feed the carrots 
to the cows, as these roots are excellent 
for cow feed.

thority on the breed—the beauti¬ 
ful, ever-paying Jersey. 
This book,“ About Jersey Cattle,’’goes 
•way back to the beginning of the breed, 
shows how it was line bred and protected 
from mixture by law, and shows why it 
has developed into the most economic 
andmostpersistent-milkingofall breeds. 
It gives tests, yields, etc., proving that 
the Jersey is the money cow—the“Giant 
of The Dairy.”
