Calf Scours 
This Treatment is Saving 
Many Calves 
Scouring calves indicate a germ in¬ 
fection that is likely to run through your 
entire herd with serious losses. 
The loss of one calf is bad enough, but 
nothing compared to your loss when the 
infection spreads, as it will unless 
checked. Then your year’s work in 
building up your herd is wasted and your 
profits lost. 
Our method of handling calves will 
promptly stop scours and flnallv banish it 
from the premises. One good calf saved will 
repay the expense of protecting your stock 
for a long time against the disease. This 
plan is simple and practical. 
Our germicide and disinfectant is especi¬ 
ally adapted to this work. It is called 
Bacili-Kil (B-K for short). The remark¬ 
able germ-killing strength of B-K is plainly 
marked and guaranteed on every package. 
B-K contains no poison, acid or oil. When 
used internally it destroys germs, heals 
inflamed membranes, relieves irritation, 
restores helathy action. B-K may be given 
freely in the milk and drinking'water. 
B-K is convenient. Just add water as 
direx^ted, and you have your treatment for 
calves, bulls and cows and also your dis¬ 
infectant for general use. 
B-K is used so successfully by leading 
breeders that it is now sold over the entire 
world and the demand for it has increased 
five hundred per cent in three years. well 
known breeder of registered stock says: 
Clean and 
Clear as water

The Future of Dairying 
Part II. 
Mii.r-: pROPircTS.—It will not be sur¬ 
prising if the varieties of milk products 
are greatly extended aud in such attrac¬ 
tive form that they will be greatly aug¬ 
mented in sale, which now seems,confined 
to condensed milk and many varieties of 
the soft cheeses, .and this only needs the 
active interests of chemists and promoters 
to inaugurate. A great betterment will 
be made in the great butter-producing 
sections west of the Mississippi River 
and order and quality brought out of a 
wasteful chaos. I’lie millions of pounds 
of butter now made of such low quality 
of cream will be redeemed. 
KurcATiAG TiiK Farmkk.— In marked 
degree tlic farmer dairyman h.a.s become 
educated along the lines of his business. 
He has come to know about the kind 
of Cows that go to make up a good dairy, 
of milk for the city markets. This may 
be something like interstate markets, 
making combinations, corners and dis¬ 
crimination against localities impossible, 
seeing that the market is “open," aud no 
man barred, or a community either, from 
wide-open markets, or a fair field in 
competition. In this, (he dairyman will 
not ask to he patronized, but simply given 
careful, commercial protection.

Variation in Cream 
I milked two cow.s one evening and 
had the milk tested at once. Tliey tested 
the same, 4 3-5 per cent. I set the milk 
away in a cool place overnight an equal 
quantity from each cow, each in a fruit 
jar of the same size. Next morning there 
showed on one of the jars of milk a 
much thicker layer of cream. What is 
the explanation? Was the test faulty? 
Or does cream vary like milk in the 
amount of butter fat a given quantity 
contains? Or does the cream rise more

Record of 16,457 Pounds Milk and 1,168 Pounds Butter 
and what breeds are best adaiited to his 
wants. lie has a convincing idea about 
the laws of breeding, and the influences of 
heredity, and more and more disc-ards (lie 
idea that a cow is a cow, and one is as 
good as another if fed the same. He 
realizes that dairy develoiiinent in breed¬ 
ing is never mueli aflvaiiccd where there 
is too much reacliing out after fresh 
blood. 
I’RACTICAI. SCIK.XCK. —In food.s for the 
dairy another great and yet continuing 
advance has Ix'en made iii the rations for 
cows. I’roteins and carbohydrates are 
now common terms, and what lines and 
selections of foods to feed cows to make 
milk is fairly well understood. This is 
greatly promoted and advaneed by the 
dairy schools, expenment .stations aud 
8tate institutions, aud the greatest 
triumph of this education is tlie fast dis¬ 
appearing critieism and objection to it 
as “book farming," of no value to a 
“practical" dairyman. No one. a third of 
a century ago. ever caught the “gleam” 
that by lfil.5 practically one-third of the 
milk of the dairies east of the Mississippi 
would be demanded for city consumption, 
and the whole scheme of dairying 
specialized. The problems of collection, 
transportation, and distribution are being 
worked out, and the idea of clean aud 
germ-free milk put upon a higher plane 
than ever before, aud dairies so cared for 
that disea.se in any form, should, and 
could be quarantined and exterminated. 
Both the general government aud the 
State are co-operating, and we shall 
actually prevent, instead of checking the 
contagious diseases, that now so often 
sorely perplex us. 
Fkdkral Education'.— Dairy educa¬ 
tion is to be made more general ,and 
brought to the very doors of the dairy¬ 
man. not lessening the aim.s and purposes 
of our stations, and dairy .schools, but 
working as a more elfective whole in 
which the dairyman will willingly assent 
to a more active participation. In this 
the great department at Washington 
has an active duty to perform in relation 
to the marketing and handling of the 
Iiroduce O’f the dairies, whether as manu¬ 
factured produce or the great vglumes 
slowly on some cows’ milk than in others? 
Holliday, Mo. vv. s, j. 
It is quite possible that the milk of 
your two cows might test exactly the 
siime, aud yet show a difi’erent amount 
of cream after .stauding the same lengtii 
of lime at the same temperature. This 
is due to the variation in the individual¬ 
ity of the cows iu tliis respect. This 
point is particularly notice.ible iu case of 
different breeds. T'he milk of some cows 
creams faster, and more distinctly than 
that of othei-s. n. F. j. 
Mixing a Balanced Ration 
I would like a balanced ration made 
from mixed hay. silage, dried brewers' 
grains, linseed oil me.il, cottonseed meal, 
wheat bran aud beet pulp. c. II. 
New York. 
If you wish to u.se all the feeds you 
mention, feed about 30 lbs. of silage per 
head per day. together with what hay the 
cows will clean up. Make the grain ra¬ 
tion two parts dried brewers’ grains, one- 
half part oilmeal. two parts cottonsee<l 
meal, one part bran aud 1 part dried beet 
pulp. Add one per cent, s-alt to the mix¬ 
ture when making it up. If the silage Ls 
good I should leave the beet pulp out of 
the ration, unless it can be or has been 
secured very reasonably. ii. i--. j. 
Rations for Swine 
1. I hiive read that ground oats and 
barley make a good feed for shotes; if so, 
in what proportion? 2. I have a lot of 
sunflower seeds ; if ground, would they do 
to feed to pigs with the ground oats ami 
barley, and iu what proportion? Is the 
following a good rule: To every hundred 
pounds of grain add 25 pounds of tank¬ 
age (for pigs). 3. In fattening a hog, is 
there any advantage in cooking or soaking 
the corn, or will the dry corn make more 
.solid meat? A. L. T. 
Ohio. 
1. If feeding ground oats and barley 
alone to pigs, make the ration one-third 
oats and two-thirds barley. 
2. No data is at hand on the feeding 
of ground sunflower seeds to swine. There 
certainly would be no harm iu mixing 
some with the barley and oats. These 
would supply considerable protein, and it 
would not be wise to use more than 10 to 
15 parts tankage to each 100 pounds of 
feed. 
3. There is nothing to be g.nined by 
cooking or soaking corn for a fattening 
hog^ ^ . n. F. .1.
