Cows Fail to 
Get With Calf 
No Reason to Slaughter 
Hundreds of perfectly good cows go 
to the butcher’s block every year because 
of failure to get with calf. There the 
valuable full-blood brings just as few 
cents per pound on the hoof as the 
orneriest scrub. 
Most of this slaughter is unnecessary. 
The apparent barrenness can be pre¬ 
vented—the cows saved to continually 
produce good profits in healthy calves 
and milk. But the longer they are al¬ 
lowed to go without getting with calf, 
the less chance there is of successful 
breeding. 
Barrenness or Sterility, like Abortion, 
Retention of After-birth and Premature 
Birth, is nearly always caused by infec¬ 
tion of the reproductive organs by the 
germs of Contagious Abortion, etc. Un¬ 
less this infection is promptly overcome 
by the use of a powerful but safe anti¬ 
septic, it may permanently affect the re¬ 
productive organs so that the cow will 
continually fail to stick. 
Every time a cow drops a calf— 
whether alive or dead—by premature 
birth or aborting, whether the after¬ 
birth is retained or not, her reproduc¬ 
tive organs should be flushed out. At 
this time the disinfecting solution can be 
injected clear up into the uterus, infec¬ 
tion will be prevented and success at the 
next breeding made reasonably certain. 
Unbred heifers or cows that fail to get 
with calf, will usually “stick” after a 
short treatment of this kind. 
This treatment can only be successful 
through the use of a safe, non-irritating 
disinfectant with great germicidal and 
antiseptic qualities. Used as a douche, 
the powerful germicide Bacili-Kil (com¬ 
monly called B-K) dissolves the slimy 
albuminus matter in uterus, destroys the 
disease germs, brings the after-birth, 
kills the bad odors, heals the tissues, 
leaves everything in a clean, natural, 
healthy condition. 
B-K is scientifically correct for this 
work. It does not irritate, but is sooth¬ 
ing and healing to the torn membranes 
and does not cause straining. Other 
germicides such as carbolic acid, cresol, 
iodine, etc., tend to irritate, do not dis¬ 
solve the slimy ^bumins, but tend to 
coagulate or thicken them, thereby pre¬ 
venting destruction of the germs and 
cleansir^ of the tissues. 
The remarkable germ-killing strength 
of B-K is plainly marked and guaran¬ 
teed on every package. B-K contains 
no poison, acid nor oil. It is safe and 
clean and easy to use. B-K may be used 
freely in the drinking water, helping to 
destroy germs which accumulate in 
tanks, also helping to disinfect mouths, 
throats, and digestive tracts, 
B-K is handy. You have in one jug 
ready for use by just mixing with water, 
your treatment for cows, bulls and 
calves; also the cleanest, safest and best 
disinfectant you can possibly have for 
general use. No special mixing of various 
Ingredients—saves trouble and mistakes, In¬ 
sures promptness, accuracy, convenience 
and successful results. 
Leading breeders throughout the country 
bear ample testimony to the valuable aid 
they have received in using B-K In treating 
barrenness and similar ailments among their 
cows. One breeder says : “I want B-K for I 
know that it Is doing me good. Cows that 
have been barren for more than a year get¬ 
ting with calf; two good strong full-time 
calves and four cows that are due next 
month that have every appearance of going 
full time. Had already lost seventeen calves 
by Abortion and Calf Scours.” 
B-K is sold by dairy and farm supply 
houses, druggists, general stores, etc., every¬ 
where, If your dealer does not have It, send 
us his name. 
Write for additional testimony from 
users, and the reasons why B-K Is so uni¬ 
formly successful in this work. Send for

vention and Control.” Bulletin No. 136,

A Substitute for the Wicks Bill 
(Oontinued from page 465) 
bid to authorize a m< lopoly of big deal¬ 
ers to divide the territory of the city be¬ 
tween themselves to control the food dis¬ 
tribution in the different zones or dis¬ 
tricts of the city, and at the same time 
to restrain pi’oducers and consumers 
from any joint operation or cooperation 
whatever without a State license. Op¬ 
position to this cannot be compromised. 
Second, the Wicks bill was drafted 
under the contention that dealers, spec¬ 
ulators and gamblers in food products 
have a vested interest, and are entitled 
to all the profits they can get. They 
must not be disturbed. As opposed to 
this Mr. Dillon contends that food pro¬ 
ducts should be moved directly from the 
farms through a State regulated terminal 
market to the city retailer’s store, and 
that cold storage space should be pro¬ 
vided in the market and reserved for the 
producers. Here are conflicting sys¬ 
tems; one calculated to add all the ex¬ 
pense possible and make food dear. The 
dealer and speculator alone profit. The 
other distributes food at minimum of 
cost. The producer and consumer profit 
alike. 
The people must ultimately decide 
which system they want. The issue is 
clean cut, and there is little doubt about 
the final verdict.

Further declines have brought good to choice 
gathered eggs down to 30 cents or a little be¬

market is strong on large sizes of this quality. 
Hatching eggs are making a heavy drain on 
the supplies of both white and brown nearby. 
As the best In both size and shape are natur¬ 
al'.v selected' for batching, the receipts contain 
a larger average of both small sizes and culls. 
Some shipments are being held off the market 
on shippers’ price limits, as they evidently feel 
that the recent decline is not likely to be per¬
