Boy Milks 
Holstein Herd 
Read Mr. Helmuth’s letter and 
see how an Empire Milking 
Machine helped him out of a 
desperate situation. It pre¬ 
vented the selling of his cows 
and enabled, him to build up his 
herd from grades to pure breds. 
His Empire proved to be so sim¬ 
ple and easy to use that even his 
10-year old boy “makes a good 
job of it.” 
That’s the bigpoint about the Empire 
Milking machine. Anybody can use it 
and make a good job of it You get 
uniform results and equally as much 
milk no matter who does the milking. 
It gives you greater freedom. You 
can delegate the milking to others and

Gentlemen: This was our situation when the 
Empire Agent happened along. I was disCour-

work had replaced a scrub herd with high grade 
Holsteins. Now H looked as though they must

production. Its action is gentle, soothing 
and regular, and always the same no 
matter who is operating the machine. 
Your herd becomes accustomed to the 
regularity of the milker, and even the 
hardest and most nervous animals give 
their best when an Empire Milker is used.

increase milk profits, to be independent 
of hired help and have more freedom,

.Tr., in killing lice on cattle. This matter 
is now printed iu Bulletin No. 97 of the 
Connecticut Experiment Station at S to its 
P. O. It is the most practical discussion 
of the matter we have ever read, and 
every stockman should study it. Many 
of our readers write telling how their 
cows suffer from the annoyance of lice, 
and how the owners are at their wits’ end 
to find a practical remedy. After testing 
liquids aud sprays and powders and dusts, 
Prof. Lamson advises raw linseed oil. A 
fat or oil is a natural enemy of the louse. 
Prof. Lamson finds that there is a marked 
difference in the season when lice abound. 
When the oily skin secretions are most 
abundant the lice are greatly reduced in 
numbers. When the skin dries, as in 
Winter, the lice abound. The breeds of 
cattle also differ in their liability to car-

MILKING MACHINES 
Retained After-birth 
Cows can be made to clean easily 
without using force. 
When cows do not clean properly after 
calving, it indicates a germ infection which 
is likely to run through the entire herd and 
result in Abortion and Barrenness. 
The after-birth should be removed at once 
without force by means of the B-K douche 
and the cow treated to prevent her becoming 
an aborter or sterile. Authorities state that 
while there is no absolute cure for abortion 
and sterility, nevertheless the infection can 
be controlled by prompt treatment and the 
animal saved for successful breeding. 
B-K is scientifically correct for this work. 
Used as a douche for the uterus, it quickly 
brings the after-birth, dissolves the slimy 
albuminous matter, kills the germs, stops 
discharges and controls the infection. B-lv 
docs not cause straining, but is soothing and 
heals the tissues. 
Send for “evidence” and free Bulletin No. 
52 “Contagious Abortion.” If your dealer 
docs not have B-K send us his name.

ry lice. For example, Jerseys and Guern¬ 
seys, which have naturally au oily skin, 
are not so badly infested as other breeds 
which have less skin secretion. Perhaps 
it was this fact which led to the experi¬ 
ments with linseed oil. It has been found 
that when this oil is brushed aud rubbed 
into the hair on certain parts of the body 
the lice are kept under control. The pic¬ 
ture given below shows where the oil is to 
be applied, the shaded parts indicating 
where the lice are mostly found. This 
means around the horns, along the neck 
and shoulders aud around the tail and 
rump. The brush shown in cut above is 
used for applying the oil; it is simply 
rubbed into the hair. It takes about five 
minutes to. oil a cow with this treatment, 
and costs about five cents a cow for each 
treatment. The few “don'ts” connected 
with the treatment are given as follows. 
It is a simple and sensible treatment:

Healthier Horses 
Leading veterinarians recommend spring dipping 
for keeping horses healthy. Undipped horses get 
overheated from spring work and their long hair 
takes hours to dry. While wet they are liable to 
catch cold and get sick. Long hair also at tracts

burning of the skin, observe the following 
directions: 
Do not rub the skin too vigorously 
when applying the oil. Do not allow the 
animals that have been treated to go out 
in the strong sunlight until at least 12 
hours after applying the oil. Do not ex¬ 
ercise the animal after the treatment. Do 
not use the boiled or refined linseed oil. 
Returns from Cheese Making 
The following is the report of the IIop- 
perville cheese factory for 1918: Re¬ 
ceived for 123 days. 585.052 lbs. of milk, 
from 304 cows, and made 54.737 lbs. of 
cheese, 1.845 cheeses, the daily average 
15. One day I made 21 cheeses from 
7,014 lbs. of milk. Cheese was very high 
and paid the milk patrons well. July 
cheese sold for 25c per lb. Price for mak¬ 
ing cheese was $2.25 per cwt. Cheese 
paid better than selling milk to conden- 
; series at $2.11. Patrons received about 
$15,325 for cheese, dividends made out 
every two weeks. The whey was worth 
20c per 100 lbs. The amount of good 
whe.v produced was 520,696 lbs. Cheese 
all paraffined and put into cold storage 
(uncolored). Soft cheese pays better 
than hard. Fall and Winter it pays bet¬ 
ter to sell the milk than to make cheese. 
In 1909 I made 1 lb. of soft cheese from 
6 lbs. Jersey milk m December. The 
milk was very rich in fat and casein. A 
good cheese ought to have 40 per cent of 
moisture. Cheese cured in a good cellar, 
Where it is cool, will not shrink much.
