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, Daiigherity has fed Unicorn Dairy 
Ration for eiglit years. He writes that 
he has 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, end keeps the cows healtiiy. Write

An Allegany Co. Veteran’s Creamery 
The picture shown was sent us by Mr. 
G. Adolph Vo.ssler, of Allegany County, 
N. y. He says this cow is owned by one 
of his neighbors, Mr. Milo Green, who is 
a Civil War veteran, and also a reader of 
The R. N.-Y. Mr, Green is an old-timer, 
and he thinks an appropriate name for 
this picture would be the following: 
“An Allegany County Veteran’s 
Creamery.’’ 
This “creamery” is a high-grade Jer¬ 
sey cow and her calf, and the two of 
them stand ready to help relieve the food 
situation. Mr. Green is SO years old, a 
veteran of the Civil War, and he sa.vs he 
has used care to practice the “selective 
draft” when he picks out his calves. He 
I’aises tlio heifers from his best cows, and 
the best sire he can find, and has now de¬ 
veloped a herd which stands high among 
the ranks of milk producers. Of cour.se, 
it is old-time advice to tell a farmer 
to select calves out of his best co\v.s, but 
it looks as if some farmor.s are not dead 
sure which their best cows are, and it 
will take some testing and weighing to 
make sure about it. At any rate Mr. 
Green has some good cows, and he al.so 
has some original ideas about the dairy 
in this way, the danger from fire from 
the heating .system would be eliminated. 
I know this is a hot-air .scheme, but won¬ 
der if it could be made practical? 
Maine. ii. v. p. 
In order fo get the value of the ven¬ 
tilating system in the stable, the foul 
air must be taken from near the stable 
floor. This might be made to pass into 
an airtight chamber over the root cellar, 
thence out through a ventilating flue 
placed opposite the intake. This would 
cause a circulation of warm air in the 
chamber above the root cellar. The 
cooling of the air in this chamber might 
interfere somewhat with the operation 
of the ventilating system. Special care 
•should be taken to makh everything air¬ 
tight, and the ventilating flues should be 
of good size. 
The object could be accomplished by 
passing the warm air from the stable 
directly into the root ccll.-ir near the 
ceiling on the stable side. Take it from 
near the .stable floor by flue into tlie air¬ 
tight collar, thence out by means of flue 
on the opposite side. P>y this .scheme 
tlie ventilating system would serve to 
ventilate both the stable and the root 
cellar, but is open to two possible ob- 
jection.s; first, that of taking the foul 
stable air into the root cellar, which

situation, for he is I’oported as saying 
tliat in his estimation the man whO' howls 
when he has to pay six cents for a quart 
of rich milk and willingly gives 10 cents 
for a small glass of vile whiskey is not 
to be compared in meanness with the 
man who used a wart on his neck for a 
collar button. 
A Profitable Sheep 
I desire to call your attention to the 
following clipping in reference to sheep. 
Mr. F’awley does not raise sheep, except 
the one referred to which was given to 
Harry Browning. Mr. Fawley's grand¬ 
son, in March, 1916, by L. T. Umbaugh, 
a ueighboi*. The lamb looked as if it 
would not live but careful attention 
brought the results referred to in the 
clipping enclosed, which I know to be 
correct. n. t. s. 
Loudoun Co., Ya. 
The note referred to follows: 
Mr. .John Fawley, who lives on the 
l*t. of Rocks Road, sold wool from one 
sheep to J. W. MeKimmey. Weight of 
wool 17% pounds, and at 6.3c per pound, 
brought the handsome’sum of $11.02. 
We have no doubt some of our read¬ 
ers can make a better showing than this. 
Farmers who have kept both kinds of 
stock consider that one cow represents 
about 10 sheep in food and care invest¬ 
ment. A good ewe will give a lamb in 
addition to this fleece. No question 
about the value of good sheep to farmers 
who will give them a chance. 
might or might not be serious, depending 
on the uses made of the cellar, and sec¬ 
ond, the condensation from the stable air 
on the walls of the cellar. I do not 
know of an instance where anything of 
this kind has been tried. A report of 
such a trial would certainly be interest¬ 
ing. The system should work, but it 
would be Avell to install it with care. 
Have everything tight and of ample size.

Catarrh 
We recently purchased a horse seven 
.voars old that came from the West, ami 
he has contracted a slight cold. Will 
you advise treatment for him? At pres¬ 
ent we are rubbing the glands with kero¬ 
sene and giving one teaspoonful of ginger 
twice daily. He coughs a little and 
sometimes there is a discharge from the 
nose. His eye is bright and he cats well. 
New York. a. d. 
As the horse is from the West and 
shows sucli suspicious symptoms, you 
should have him examined by a qualified 
veterinarian. Glanders may be present 
and it is contagious, incurable au(l also 
communicable and fatal to man. We 
should not feel justified in prescribing 
treatment. a. s. a. 
A “ Hot Air” Ventilating Scheme 
Our building spot faces the West. I 
have been thinking of putting a cellar 
under the barn,, equipping the west side 
for a dairy and using the oast side 
for a root cellar. On account of danger 
from fire in installing any kind of heat¬ 
ing plant, I have often wondered if it 
would be feasible to Imve the ventilation 
pass over the root cellar instead of go¬ 
ing directly -up through foul air out- 
takes. Would the basement ceiling and 
barn floor be so arranged that the warm 
air might pa.ss between them and thus 
prevent the roots in the basement from 
freezing? By utilizing the animal heat 
Quarter Crack 
What will cure a contracted lieel on 
.a horse? She has a quarter crack of the 
inside and is so lame she can hardly step 
on it. It is feverish and sore in the in¬ 
side of her foot, the crack seems to grow 
in instead of growing out. J. s. 
"N’ermont. 
Have the blacksmith cut away a semi¬ 
circular portion of horn of tlni wall at 
the ground '.’surface directly under the 
quarter crack; then jiiit on a flat bar 
shoe. Now clip the hair from the hoof- 
head (coronet) and burn a line across the 
top of the crack and almost completely 
through the wall. Upon this line as a 
base burn a large V in tlie skin of the 
hoof head with the ai)ex of the V rest¬ 
ing upon the lines at the top of the crack. 
Do not burn comi)letely through the skin. 
Apply a blister after firing and again at 
intervals of a month. I.et the mare run 
on low, wet pasture during the coming 
Summer, except when, the blister is 
acting. A. s. A.
