i Cows Retain 
After-Births 
Can Be Made to Clean Easily and 
Promptly Without Manual Aid 
When cows do not clean after calv¬ 
ing, you think of two things, and you 
should suspect another—more serious. 
'You will think first of the dirty job 
on your hands, then that you may lose 
your cow. It also indicates a germ 
j infection that is likely to run through 
I your entire herd with serious losses. 
Our Government and other authori¬ 
ties agree that retention of after-birth, 
premature calving, sterility, contag¬ 
ious garget, calf scours and calf pneu¬ 
monia, are symptoms indicating pres¬ 
ence of germs which cause abortion. 
They agree, also, that the infection 
can be controlled—the loss of calves 
and damage to cows stopped. 
This can only be done by the use of 
a safe, powerful, non-poisonous, pow¬ 
erful germicide, Bacili-Kil, (B-K for 
short). It dissolves the slimy, album¬ 
inous matter in the uterus, brings the 
after-birth, destroys the germs and 
bad odors, heals the tissues, leaves 
everything clean. 
B-K is scientifically correct for this 
work. It does not irritate, but is 
soothing and healing to the torn 
membranes, and does not cause strain¬ 
ing. Other things such as carbolic 
acid, cresol, and other coal-tar pro¬ 
ducts, iodine, etc., tend to irritate, do 
not dissolve the slimy albumins, but 
tend to coagulate or thicken them, 
thereby preventing destruction of the 
germs and cleansing of the infected 
tissues. B-K may also be used freely 
in the drinking water. It helps to de¬ 
stroy accumulating germs in tank, 
also disinfects mouths, throats and di¬ 
gestive tracts. 
The remarkable germ-killing 
strength of B-K is printed and guar¬ 
anteed on every package. B-K con¬ 
tains no poison, acid, nor oil. B-K is 
handy. "You have in one jug, always 
ready by just mixing with water, your 
treatment for cows, bulls, and calves; 
also, the cleanest, safest and best dis¬ 
infectant for general use. No mixing 
of various ingredients—saves trouble 
j and mistakes, insures promptness, ac- 
I curacy, convenience, successful re- 
I suits. 
Leading breeders bear ample testi¬ 
mony of the valuable aid received 
from B-K in treating retained after¬ 
births and similar ailments of cows. 
One breeder says, “I have found B-K 
the greatest thing ever for cows that 
do not clean readily. This is a job I 
have always had to do by hand, but 
now by injecting B-K dilution, never 
knew it to fail to bring all things 
right before the fourth day. 
B-K is sold by dairy and farm sup¬ 
ply houses, druggists, general stores, 
etc., everywhere. If your dealer 
doesn’t carry it, send us his name.

Milk Producers to Compare Notes, 
About a year ago we organized the 
Eastern Ohio Milk and Cream Pro¬ 
ducers’ Association, one of the first of 
its kind in the United States and per¬ 
haps the first to write into its contracts 
the I’ight to do its own sampling and 
testing. Now we keep a man at the 
creamery all the time, who does all sam¬ 
pling and testing for the association. 
The creamery tested for awhile, but soon 
dropped it, and now does no testing at 
all. We sell on a butterfat basis. Pre¬ 
vious to this there was continual trouble 
about the testing, and we lost thousands 
of dollars on account of manipulation of 
the test, but since the first of last .\pril 
we have saved to the members of the 
association more than .$.3.()()() on the test 
alone. 
We want to rewrite our constitution 
and by-laws and as president of the a.s- 
sociation I wish to get in touch with the 
most up-to-date organizations in the 
country and would like to get copies of 
the_ constitution and by-laws of such as¬ 
sociations. As a subscriber and' I'eacler 
of The R. X.-Y. I thought perhaps you 
might be in a position to furnish what I 
want, or at least refer me to persons 
who could. w. ir. vAX Scyse. 
Barnesville, O. 
R. N.-Y.—The best way we know of 
to get such information is get such peo¬ 
ple together There ought to be a chance 
for all farmers who are interested in 
such organizations to compare notes. So 
we print Mr. Van Scyse’s address and 
hope milk producers’ associations will 
.write him. This will give a fine chance 
to compare methods, and perhaps lead to 
a good organization. 
Skinning Hogs 
I think it safe to say that through, 
this section, 75 per cent, of the hogs are 
skinned, and why? Becau.se it saves 
half your time in butchering, half in 
rendering out the lard, and then too the 
bacon, hams and shoulders are much,more 
pleasant to cut up for home use. ’ Any 
butcher in this section will come and 
kill them for their hides. It takes them 
about 25 minutes to skin one, and I be¬ 
lieve they get about 75 cents each for 
the hide. We have had our hogs killed 
in this way for two years, and would 
not think of having it done in any other 
way. The method is fast growing in 
favor through this section. Of course 
there are a few who will always want 
the rind on their pork. 
The .skin when tanned makes very val¬ 
uable leather for gloves, purses, etc. 
Save what leather you can, for by the 
present price of leather goods we may 
judge the country is short on this com¬ 
modity. s. w.

A “ Hearing’”on the Dog Law 
More than one hundred people attended 
the joint legislative hearing on the 
Wicks-Grant bill to encourage the rheep 
industry of the State, held in the Senate 
chamber, Albany, February 27th. Ap¬ 
pearances in opposition to the bill were 
by representatives of humane societie.s, 
sportsmen’s clubs, kennels and as.socia- 
tions interested in certain breeds of dogs. 
The “arguments” against the bill con¬ 
sisted chiefly in narratives of dog.s’ fidel¬ 
ity to man; of their service to humans in 
the European war now in progress; of the 
suffering which would ensue to the dogs 
if the bill became law by rea.son of the 
I)ermitted shooting of canines by persons 
anxious to receive the bounty for killing 
dogs at large and not under restraint; 
pretty general denials that losses were 
caused^ to farmers by depredations of 
dog.s—indeed, the farmers were alone to 
blame for letting the number of sheep in 
the State decline; and the whole canine 
rjice was exalted, by a lady in attendance, 
to a degree seldom reached by a mere 
man. For two hours the friends of the 
dog extolled him; the humane societies 
asked that the law be left as it is now for 
fear their occupations would be gone, or, 
at least, a goodly portion of their revenue 
would be lost if they were denied the priv¬ 
ilege of attending to the enforcing of the 
law in the cities where they operate, and 
general antagonism was expressed to the 
size of the license fees and to the penal¬ 
ties in the bill for non-compliance with 
its terms. 
But when the proponents came to make 
their arguments in favor of the bill it re¬ 
quired but a few statements from men 
like Clark Allis of Medina, and Edward 
Van Alstyne of Kinderhook, to riddle the 
stories of the_non-injurious habits of the 
dog. Mr. Allis told of the destruction in 
a single night of S2 of his flock; Mr. Van 
Alstyne told of 62 of his sheep found dead 
one morning from foraging dogs. Dr. V. 
A. Moore, of Cdrnell, told of the danger 
from rabies in dogs and of germ diseases 
which can alone be distributed by canines. 
Chas. W. Larmon, of the Depai-Rnent of 
Agriculture, gave interesting figures of 
the sheep industry now and as it was 40 
years ago, and R. W. Eggleston, of Es.sex 
County, in an earnest manner, but with a 
humorous turn of speech, that pleased his 
hearers, urged the enactment of the bill 
into law. Dei.u Mann and I’rof. Wing of 
Cornell spoke for the bill; and others 
from various parts of the State. It is 
understood that the bill will be reported 
out of committee with but a few trifling 
amendments, and doubtless will pass the 
Legislature and be sent to the Governor.

Grain is too valuable to feed. At present prices protein

In middlings 13c, and in bran 15c. But cotton seed 
meal supplies digestible protein for 6c per lb.—less 
than half the cost of other feeds. 
$1,172 More Profit From 40 Cows 
Experiments at the Georgia School of Agriculture showed 
$1,172.80 more profit per year on butter from 40 cows by using 
cotton seed meal and silage, instead of silage, hay and mixed 
concentrates. I)r. A. M. Soule, President of the College, says: 
The owner would almost double liis profit by using cotton seed 
meal and silage, as compared with using a minimized ration of 
silage with h.ay ad libitum and a generous ration of mixed 
concentrates.” 
Saves $88 Worth of Corn and Hay 
“In Indiana it was found that theadditionof one pound of cotton 
seed meal to a ration of corn and clover hay resulted in the saving 
of 1.37 lbs. of corn and 1.41 l))s. of clover hay. This means that 
(at the average price) on each ton of cotton seed meal fed, the 
farmer saved $.'55.44 worth of other feed.” At present prices each 
ton saves $88.64.
