COMFORT for COWS 
and MILKMEN 
When cows are continually tortured 
with flies they cannot be expected to 
produce the maximum amount of milk. 
When your cows are not producing 
their maximum amount of milkj;o« are 
losing money. 
SO-BOS-SO KILFLY is made for just such a 
purpose—to keep the cows free from flies while 
grazing in the pasture and while being milked in 
the barn. They will then produce their maximum 
amount of milk and besides man will milk in comfort. 
You will also find SO-BOS-SO KILb'LY equally 
as effective when used on horses, hens and hogs. It 
is a sure bane to lice and vermin. 
Your dealer will sell you SO-BOS-SO KILFLY".

uses for SO-BOS-SO KILFLY.

A Herd Record 
With a Message for 
Every Dairy Farmer 
The Cloverdale Farm Herd owned by 
A. J. Daugherity, Streator, Illinois, 
averaged for 50 cows, all ages, 15,325.5 
lbs. milk, averaging 592.3 lbs. butter. 
The fifty (year) records were made while 
feeding Unicorn Dairy Ration as the 
entire grain ration summer and winter, 
Mr. Daugherity has fed Unicorn Dairy 
Ration for eight years. He writes that 
he hat found it more economical, from 
the standpoint of milk production, than 
any home ration he could combine. It 
makes more milk, takes less grain to do 
it, and keeps the cows healthy. Write

and pxjilixlos tho theory tluit corn silage 
slionld he fed sparely and only as part 
of a ration for diiiry cows. ‘What a 
wonderful saving it would he for this 
country,’ says Director Wilson, ‘if all 
yearling steers had made an average gain 
last Winter of two pounds jfor hoiid. or a 
little more than the same aged steer 
usually makes on grass.’ 
“The corn plant when cured in its own 
juices seems to bo iin excellent feed to 
produce giiin—nothing better when we 
consider cost—and when we consider the 
hundreds of acres in this State where 
only part of the crop harvested—the ears 
—and the stalks and leaves and husks 
were allowed to wiiste we are not very 
near the maximum stage of production.” 
Feeding a Calf 
Will yon give me directions for feed¬ 
ing five-months-old calf? c. T. 
Missouri. 
At this season of the year it is well to 
keep calf as old as yours out on grass. ' 
Give it all the water it will drink. ^lake ; 
up a ration of e(inal parts cornmeal, j 
ground oats, and bran. Add 1 per cent, 
salt to the grain in mixing it. Food a 
half pound of this dry grain daily, in¬ 
creasing it as the calf gets older. In the 
Pall replace the grass with some good 
clover, Alfalfa or mixed hay, and grain 
and water as usual. ji. f. j. 
Shrink in Milk 
My cow has come down considerably 
in milk, ever since I let her out on pas¬ 
ture. M’hat can I do for her? L. s. 
New York. 
A grain ration may bring back the 
milk flow' to some extent. Make grain 
ration 100 pounds hominy or cornmeal, 
100 pounds bran, 10<) pounds middlings 
and fiO pounds of cottonseed, linseed oil 
or iiearnu meal. ??ee that cow has all 
the salt she desires. ir. F. j. 
Thin Cream 
Can yon tell me why it i.s my Jersey 
cow does not give the rich thick cream 
on her milk this year that she did this 
time last year? After the milk has been 
setting in pans for 4.S hours in a cool 
place, th(' cream shows a good, rich yid- 
Jow, hilt it is no thicker than milk. 
New York. c. w. N. 
The principal factors which would 
affect the thickness of the cream on a 
pan of cow’s milk would be the temper¬ 
ature and time to which the milk was ex¬ 
posed and the stage of lactation of the 
cow. If you are sure that the milk is 
held at as low a temi>erature as last year 
at this time is it not possible that the cow 
may now be nearer the first stage of her 
lactation pcriml at which time her milk 
would contain less butter fat than at a 
later period? A low temperature is, 
however, essential for a thick cream if it 
is raised by the gravity process, il. F. J. 
Butter With Bitter Flavor 
I am making butter from a young cow 
fresh just a month, and find the butter 
tastes bitter. What can be the cause of 
this? She has good jiasture and good 
feed. Can I make butter out of sweet 
milk or rather cream, as well as from 
sour cream? I have lieen using sour 
cream so far. My butter tastes hitter 
and I’ancid at times; liave tried every¬ 
thing I can think of with no improve¬ 
ment. T. c. C. 
Now York. 
Mobile the cause of the bitter taste in 
your butter may he due to- bacterial 
gi-owtli. it is more likely due to some weed 
the cow is getting in pasture. If it is 
due to bacteria, careful sterilization of 
all utensils should overcome difficulty. 
Fxcollent butter can he made out of 
sweet cream. Of course, it has the mild 
flavor of the cream itsidf. Many prefer 
it to a ripened cream butter. li. F. J. 
Diseased Udder 
A neighbor of mine has a two-year- 
ol(l_ heifer that has recently freshened, 
which seems to be losing the use of one 
quarter. There seem.s to he no obstruc¬ 
tion in the ndder and it is normal ap¬ 
parently, not caked or sore, but the teat 
gives little milk, although the calf has 
been sucking the cow right along. The 
tesit seems to feel fleshy, as if it were 
thickening inside with flesh instead of 
being responsive to the milker’s hand, as 
in a normal udder. Can you give me 
any light as to what may be the mutter 
or what to do? The heifer’s dam lost a 
quarter, I am told, in the same way. 
Does that fact offer an explanation? 
New York. f. m. l. 
Tnbcrenlosis of the udder should be 
suspectixl, but the condition may have re¬ 
sulted from an attack of ordinary gar¬ 
get. Dry off the milk secretion in ttie 
affected quarter. Have the cow tested 
with tuberculin. It would be best to 
wean the calf. If the cow proves to 
have tuberculosis she should be destroyed, 
otherwise she should be fed for slaughtei’.

958,200 Paid for Holstein Bull Calf. The great¬ 
est tribute to the superiority of Holstein-Friesian Cat¬ 
tle was paid in the auction sale at Worcester, Mass., 
June 7 and 8, where a Holstein Bull Calf iFrought 
453.200, a Holstein Cow 418,300, and a Holstein Heifer 
418,000. 143 animals were sold for 4290.470, or an aver¬ 
age of about 42,073 per head. In 1916 at Detroit, Mich., 
140 animals were sold for an average of 41,173 per 
head. This great increase in selling values is proof 
conclusive of Holstein popularity, partly duo to Hol¬ 
stein raising in the past year all world’s 7-day records 
for milk and butter. The world’s record for butter 
in 7 days is now over 60 lbs.
