The creamory statement seems to be

‘‘butter withdrawn, 10.75 lbs.,” it means

of your skim-milk to you depends on 
wliat use you make of it. It ought to be 
worth at least 0,()c per cwt. This being 
the case, your skim-milk for the month

Gasoline on a Hog

about using ga.soline to burn the bristles 
off a bog, in butchering, instead of 
scalding. We successfully use that meth¬

time. fuel. lalKu-. etc. This method has 
many advantages yet no disadvantages, 
and tlie disagreeable part of butchering 
becomes a pleasure. Tliere is no dis-

the meat and no bristles to contend with

out the tendons and bang on regular

surplus in a bucket or ash pan and re¬ 
move to a safe distance before igniting, 
if ni'cessary use a wind-break to prevent 
the wind blowing the flame aside. If 
after burning some out of the way spots 
should not be reached (as is also the 
case in scalding) use a cloth saturated

Remedy for Cattle Lice 
I will here say it so baiipens that only 
recently I found some of my cattle lousy. 
I do not know where they come from, as 
I have not seen any in my stable for 
some time. No doubt the lice crawl about 
the woodwork and when the weather is 
v .-irm tbe.v come out and increase rapidly. 
'I'be first thing I do is to mix some cattle 
dip with the proiier quantity of soft 
water and also about half the quantity 
of eommon kerosene Avith it. Take a 
goo<l-sized paint bru.sh aud rub it along 
the baekbone and around the horns and 
tail. In about five days I repeat, and 
again, if lU'cessary. I have been told 
that the lice have to go to the coav’s nose 
to get a drink. ^Vbetber that is so or 
not. I do not knoAV. However, to stop 
their doing that I take some ordinary coal 
tar, Avarm it and paint a continuous ring 
around the neck of the cow. If they do 
travel as stated, they will not cross that 
tar ring. I also jiaint a liberal amount 
of the tar about the staiiebioirs.

1 always use crude oil. just as is comes 
from the w('!l. Take a Avarm, sunshiny 
da.v. Avarm the oil about blood lieat. rub 
it along tlie b.ack. between the legs, 
around the neck aud bead. Don't be 
afraid of using lots of oil. as it makes the 
hair groA\’. I never bad it take the hair 
off, as other remedies I IniA'e tried. I 
get the oil here for $1.50 for a 5()-gal. 
barrel. DOUU tkowbridge. 
l’cnn.sylvania. 
The surest, infallible remedy is mix 
machine oil and coal oil, equal parts. 
Avarm it as hot as you can bear your 
finger in, and witli Hat brush go over 
the animal, touching every hair Avitb the 
oil. This might not be pleasant for the 
milkcr.s if coavs bad to be milked, but for 
colts : nd dry cattle is sure. For milch 
COAVS 1 would use some of the prepared 
coal tar mixtures, or diluted crude car¬ 
bolic acid, sprayed or brushed on thor¬ 
oughly just after milking in morning. 
Skim-milk and Green Veal 
I baA’e read the communication of O. 
W. Mapes on skim-milk and green veal 
on page 20. His idea of selling skim-inilk 
in New York city is good, but it is just 
as neeessar.v that the law should say 
the bottle is ‘‘skim-milk." and a large 
placard on the can in tbe_ retail shop 
should tell the .same thing, ju.st as it is 
necessary to mark "storage eggs” so that 
he Avbo runs may read. 
As to green A'eal, if be likes it let him 
cat it. He has a dairy. I'll take mine 
a little older. The law is just aud 
should stand. Every farmer in Noav 
Y ork State has seen the peddler traffic 
in green veal, and it is sickening. A 
tb'onsaml pounds of milk turned into A'cal 
is used in a .iust cause and Avill uoA’cr 
bother the milk market. 
Better back up ('ommissioner Dillon in 
ills ernsade for more money to the pro¬ 
ducer; cheaper milk to the consumer; 
raise the heifer calves from a purebred 
bull at the bead of your herd; and let 
the bob A'oal law alone. It keejis ^iiir 
local calf peddler from going to the Fed¬ 
eral jirison in Atlanta, (la., more tbc/i

Avashing or soaking kills both lice and 
nits, Avhich is not the case with other 
treatments. If possible, the animals 
should bo clipped and then washed thor¬ 
oughly with a sheep dipping powder

of big help to Avhitewash the stable and 
give animals a little extra grain or a little

Cost of Milk Production 
I have read Avith interest the ar;l<-'>‘ 
on jiage 1000. Dec. .lOth i.ssue. by AN. 11. 
IL. and certainly agree Avith him regard¬ 
ing the cost items that should be lignri'd 
in. but bis iiguri's nui.><t be Avrong or bis 
cows poor because he figures a feed 
cost of .$05.01, and a milk receipt of 
only $100..")4. or a profit of only $4.0.‘t 
per cow above fi'cd cost. 
P.eloAv an* the figures of my dairy 
from Nla.v 1 to .lau. 1. as taken b.A' the 
cow tested of onr association, ainl the 
figures correspond quite closely^ with 
veeeiiits from milk station. Nuinbci

the colts in the yard or used as bi'dding.
