REPELS FLIES and Gives 
You Increased Yield of Milk 
The fly pest is one of your groat 
problems. Every ounce of energy 
used by the cow'S in running across 
the pasture and switcliiug and kick¬ 
ing at fl- ;8 has its effect on the milk 
yield. Quiet, contented cows always 
give the most milk. 
FEY-SKAT repels the flies it 
touches and keeps other flies away at 
a cast of less than one-half cent a 
cow for each application. One herd 
tested by the Maryland Agricultural 
Exia-riment Station yielded on an av¬ 
erage of three pounds more milk after 
•spraying. 
FI.Y-SKAT is absolutely nou-poisonous 
and is guaranteed not to damage the hair, 
skin or delicate membranes of the eyes 
and nostrils.

It Positively Will Not Taint the Milk 
It positively will not taint the milk. Coal tar pro¬ 
ducts do. One application (applied in a jiffy) will 
last from 24 to 48 hours. FLY-SKAT is also used in 
barns and out-houses with great succe.ss. 
FLY-SKAT should be used regularly on every farm 
to keep the cows in good condition. Demonstrate its 
value on your farm. It will add greatly to the con¬ 
tentment of your co\ s, increase the milk yield and 
permit the stock to be handled much easier. Write 
for our folder containing a report of the tests made 
by the Entomological I)eg)artment of the Maryland 
Agricultural Experiment Station and facts about 
FLY-SKAT.

Article on FLY-SKAT

“The best indica¬ 
tion of the effect of 
the spray was In the 
cessation of t li e 
switching of tails, 
which, previous to 
the spraying, were 
in constant motion. 
“Throughout the 
duration of the ex¬ 
periments, very care¬ 
ful dally examina¬ 
tions failed to re¬ 
veal the slightest 
damage to hair or 
skin or to the ex¬ 
posed raucous mem¬ 
branes of the eyes 
or nostrils.”

SPRAY YOUR COWS WITH 
SO-BOS-SO KILFLY 
And increase their milk production. Make 
life easy for the cow and she will make 
milkine easy for you. SO-BOS-SO KILFLY is guaran¬ 
teed to keep flies away from cattle and borses. Will not

Flics arc unhealrby — get rid of 
them. Spray twice a day with SO- 
BOS-SO KILFLY and note the dif¬ 
ference in tbe milk yield. 
A gallon of SO-BOS-SO KILFLY 
will spray 200 cows — or one cow 
200 times. Used twice a day on 
cattle and horses, it works a trans¬ 
formation that you will wonder at. 
You should not be without SO-

Those Donkeys from Arizona 
Jlow is ihe donkey cUih gelling on? 
A number of our renders ask that 
question, and we have some further in¬ 
formation for them now. A few weeks 
ago we suggested that perhaps it would 
be possible to bring on a carload of bur¬ 
ros from Arizona and liave them dis¬ 
tributed from .some central point. Since 
tlien, some .‘k") iieojtle have written tliat 
they would like to he considered in case 
we organize tliis donkey club. There arc 
not enough of them yet to fill a carload, 
and new facts have now come to light 
which ought to he given before we go 
any further. We have been looking up 
the matter of transportation cost from 
Tucson, Arizona. Dy cxin-c.ss to New 
Bones .50 lbs. at Ic.50 
Lean meat, tankage, etc.1.00 
That means than an average animal 
brings .$14.50 locally as a by-product, 
and througli this increase of value the 
little fellows are likely to be extermiu- 
ated. We find nobody iu Arizona who 
regards the burro with any sentiment 
whatever. They all admit that F.astern 
children may want this creature as a 
companion, but on the plains he has be¬ 
come a nui.sanco—to be exterminated like 
jack rabbits. 
Florida Live Stock 
Florida is coming to be a live .stock 
country—as we see from the following: 
I have about 200 acres in corn, the 
Sheep on the Farm of Wm. Lehman, Monroe County, N. Y. 
Fngland iioints the cost of a small bur¬ 
ro, weighing oOO pounds would be as 
follows: 
Cost price . $1.00 
(’ost to crate . 5-O0 
Express on .“^OO lbs. (small bur¬ 
ro) at $8.00 per hundred. 25.80 
Feed ea route . 2.00 
$24.80 
For a young weaned burrow sent by 
express the cost is given, as below: 
Tost .

Feed eu route . 
,$2.00 
2.00

1.00 
Total 
$14.00 
As for a full carload of burros to 
points in New England, the following 
figures are iiresented: 
Freight Arizon.a to Deming, New 
Mexico. $41.00 
Deming to St. Louis . 1.5;).25 
St. Louis to New England points 140.00 
(lost price of 50 burros nt .$2.. 100.00 
Feed en route, 5 stops at $7. 25.00 
Expense of attendant . 20.00 
Total 
$o00.8a 
I'here would have to bo transportation 
for an attendant from New York back 
to St. Louis, which would be $20 more. 
This would mean an average cost of $12 
to $15 per head if shipped iu carload 
cost. If the very young burros were 
sent, perhaps 70 of them could he crowd¬ 
ed into the car, although it would prob¬ 
ably be difficult to secure a full carload 
of desirable young animals. It would 
probably be possible to ari-ange for such 
a .shipment, but it is doubtful when all 
expenses were jiaid, and all risks as¬ 
sumed. if the donkeys would cost less 
than $18 or $20 apiece when finally 
delivered. The requests for them al¬ 
ready .sent to us. run all the way from 
Ohio to Maine, and the shipment from 
some Central Eastern point to these 
distant places would add to the co.st. 
IVe are told that these prices arc subject 
to change without notice. The advertis¬ 
ing which has already been given has 
boomed the price of burros 200% during 
the past month. Here is another evi¬ 
dence of what ballpens when real value 
is discovered for a waste product. 
When we first hoard of these little crea¬ 
tures they were described as a nuisance, 
and the great desire of most peoiile of 
Arizona was to get them out of the 
.State as (piickly as possible. I’rof. 
Williams of the Experiment vStatlon 
writes tis showing how this value is in¬ 
creasing, as he has already found a 
butcher in Arizona who is shooting the 
burros and using them for tankage and 
other offal. The following figures show 
what a fair-sized burro will bring: 
Hide .salted 20 lbs. at 20c.$0.00 
Fat extracted from carcass 50 lbs. 
at 14c . 7.00 
oldest field, 50 acres, is beginning to 
tassel, and looks good. I have about 
200 cattle, high grade and purebred 
Shorthorns, and a fine hunch of calves. 
When I tell you that I have sold this 
Spring 22 hull calves, yearlings, 1010 
calves, at $00 j>er head, and that I was 
offered $100 per bend for 40 cows, the 
dams of the.se bull calves, you can begin 
to realize that my cows arc not of the 
kind that you bought in Florida, and 
yoii would also realize that there is a 
very different land in this section—to 
what you saw—iu Florida. Thc.se hull 
calves were bought to put on the range, 
with the native cows. Could you see 
my bunch of Duroc hogs, about 50 head 
of 100-lh. hogs and 00 pigs about three 
weeks old, and know what it costs me 
to produce these pigs and calves, you 
would think Florida could not he all 
sand. s. ir. GAiT.siaLL.

Renovating Butter 
Could you tell me what to do to re¬ 
turn butter to its natural taste that h.is 
become a little tainted? ii. u. k. 
I’oughkccjisic, N. Y. 
It is imimssible to restore a good clean 
flavor to butter that has become tainted. 
If one has a separator it will help some 
to melt the butter, then add an equal 
amount of hot water to it and run 
through the seiiarator. ’Phe bntterfat 
will come out of the cream spout and 
may then he hardened and used for cook¬ 
ing purpo.ses. The same thing might he 
accomplished to some extent at least by 
melting the butter on the stove, adding 
the water as d(>scril)ed above and then 
when partially cooled skim off the fat and 
use for cooking. H. i'. .i. 
Churning Trouble; Flies 
We have not been able to make butter 
from the cream at recent churning. We 
take good care of cow. What is the rem¬ 
edy against flies? J. S- 
New York. 
1. An intelligent answer to your in¬ 
quiry can hardly he given since I do not 
know enough about he conditions caus¬ 
ing the diflicult churning. At this season 
of the year there is not usually any diffi¬ 
culty in getting the butter to come. If 
ripening the . cream until it just tastes 
sour and cliuriiing at a temperature of 
55 to (!0 degrees does not bring the but¬ 
ter it would seem that your cow had heca 
milking for some time and that her milk 
is abnormal. 
2. A remedy for flies in addition to the 
use of tanglefoot is the u.se of formalin 
and skim or whole milk. Place about a 
tablesiioonfiil of formalin in a quart of 
milk and then put this around in shallow 
dishes. It is a good plan to put a little 
sugar ill the milk also. The flies are at¬ 
tracted by the milk and tbe formalin kills 
them. F- J.
