made in the above clipping, has no official 
record. It is our opinion that the animal 
whose production is given is Caroline 
I’anl Parthenea 77784, owned by Mr. R. 
F. 8chaefcr of Wisconsin. We find that 
('aroline Paul Parthenea has the follow¬ 
ing records to her credit: 
Rutter, 365 days at 0 yrs of age. 1.20S.1S 
Milk.25,072.60 
Rutter, 8 inos. after fre.shening. . 22.16 
Milk. 446.50 
These records have never been exceeded 
by any cow over nine years of age. IVe 
are pleased to state that the world’s record 
for yearly butter production is held by 
Duchess Skylark Ormsby 124514, who 
produces in a year 1.506.36 lbs. butter. 
This is the only cow of any age or breed 
that has produced in a year over 1..500 
lbs. butter. F. l. iiougiitox. 
Sheep in the South 
I have had several inquiries from men 
in these soil them seacoast States and 
now. while in South Carolina, “take my 
p('u in hand’’ to tell all I know on the 
subject. In the Secretary of Agricul¬ 
ture’s office they do not know of any 
i)unches of sheep near Columbia, but in 
the 1016 report I find a letter of II. C. 
Hahn of Aikiu. He has been breeding 
longwools for 12 years and thinks the 
clip, which he has raised from 3% pounds 
to over six pound.s, pays all expenses of 
keep, and he grows early lambs which 
he sells at from .$8 to .$12 each. He has 
had this amount for profit, besides the 
usual benefits of sheep on a farm, since 
he refers to soil enrichment, and weed 
destroying, and he makes the statement 
which every man who keeps sheep right 
knows is true, “Every farm, especially 
those with a lot of rolling waste land, 
should have a flock of sheep.” If there 
is any place in the world where sheep 
are more needed, I have not seen it. 
Diversification of crops, and live stock 
are the only things to improve much of 
it and make money. Single mules, of 
light weight, are pulling planters putting 
the cotton seed in the rows now. 
The boll weevil is coming dangerously 
near, and there is little but cotton. Sheep 
will not shear as much in these States 
a.s in the North, but they do not need 
te. Their cost of keep is not over half 
of ours in the North. 
In answ'er to inquiries I will say that 
no man who “carrie.s” sheep in the 
South, and cares for them, can lose 
iminey. Their environment next comes, 
and it might be impossible to keep them 
alive with the plethora of canines in 
evidence, but it would pay to put rp 
wire fences to keep them safe, or to 
corral them nights. 
This brings me to the most remark¬ 
able statement ever seen in print. I like 
dogs, that is some dogs, but had never 
known their value until reading Mr. 
.Tiihn Gorinley’s letter in a late issue. Only 
figuring on their watchman value, he 
gets .$6 per day and night, or .$1800 a 
year, not counting the Sunday vigilance. 
I counted 19 at a cabin yesterday, but 
do not know that I got them all, or that 
they all belonged there, hut they surely 
were ^t home. All I know is that it 
would bring a feeling of great pleasure 
to the colored harborer of these dogs to 
know the worth of his investment. Mr. 
Cormley should come here and organize 
a dog stock company. If he would only 
state his estimate on the worth of the 
ones on hands, he could get “jiners” and 
enlarge his circle of friend.s. He probably 
has given the subject “serious considera¬ 
tion,” and is posted on values, but Mr. 
Hahn, who has sheep and knows 
Northern dogs, might not agree with 
him. The writer will not. Rrowling 
dogs, that means fully one-half of the 
live dogs, are a menace and a curse, and 
the meanest things in the world that a 
man can tie his affections to.

Bloat; Udder Troubles 
1. I have a lot of second crop clover 
and mixed rowen, and while it had a 
shower on it, it was in good condition, 
not dried brittle. In feeding it this 
Winter it has given my cows the bloat. 
Fan I do anything to relieve them so I 
can feed the hay? 2. I bought a cow 
due to freshen in March. As she dried 
off. one rear quarter of udder shrank in 
milk faster than the others, and now she 
m dry, it looks like a “slack” quarter. 
<’au I do anything to improve this condi¬ 
tion before she freshens? 3. I have an¬ 
other cow that when the milk is first 
13he RURAL NEW-YORKER 
started from her teats at milking time 
.acts as if it put her in agony. She once 
had a touch of garget, but had got over 
it apparently. Can you suggest any 
remedy for this? F. S. C. 
Maine. 
1. Such hay if salted when stacked or 
mowed away would not have been so 
likely to cause bloat. Try effects of wet¬ 
ting it well with limewater before feed¬ 
ing and make it only a part of the rough- 
age ration along with other hay. 2. 
1 >aily hand rubbing and massage, using 
a little lanolin, or sweet oil on the hands 
may help by stimulating circulation of 
blood. .3. Massage gently for a few min¬ 
utes befoi'e starting to milk and then 
milk gently; each night, after milking, 
apply melted lard to the teats A. s. A. 
Periodic Ophthalmia 
I have a horse nine years old that has 
eye trouble. The veterinarian said he 
had iriti.s. One eye had a watery dis¬ 
charge and symptoms of ophthalmia. A 
neighbor was keeping him for the work 
he did. In August he first noticed his 
sight was affected. In October it seemed 
to be all right, but when the moon was 
new in November he could hardly see 
anything; could not see to get out ot 
the stable nor to the watering trough. 
The eyes look milky. A week ago when 
the moon was full he could see again. 
The man who is keeping him said there 
was no help; that he would get blind. 
< )ne eyes is worse than the other. Can 
you suggest anything to help him? 
Vermont. ,T. J. B. 
The horse is affected with periodic 
ophthalmia (moon blindness) which Is 
incurable. Rlindne.ss may be somewhat 
retarded by bathing the eyes twice daily 
with .a saturated solution of boric aci(7, 
and each other morning putting a few 
drops of a 15 per cent, solution of ar- 
gentol between the eyelids. Slightly dark¬ 
en the stable. Reflected sunlight from a 
whitewa.shed wall is irritating to the eyes 
and aggravates moon blindness. As the 
tendency to the disea.se is considei’ed 
hereditary do not breed from an affected 
s*^allion or mare A. s. A. 
“ Equal Parts” in Prescriptions 
In the worm remedy for horses appear¬ 
ing from time to time in your jmper, you 
advi.se equal parts of salt, sulphur and 
copperas. Ry equal parts does it mean 
equal parts by weight or by measure? 
Virginia. c. G. M. K. 
We mean by weight, out many people 
use a mixture of drugs by measure. As 
copperas is heavy and sulphur light weigh¬ 
ing is the better method in making the 
mixture. A. ». A. 
“Why do you refuse to make any more 
speeches? IVon't your people listen to 
you?” “The difficulty is,” replied Sen¬ 
ator Sorghum, “that they listen too 
closely. When I tell ’em something now 
they rush off to have it verified and hold 
me resi)onsiblo for the facts.”—Wash¬
