Has A Cow 
Good-will"? 
I F IT’S a registered cow, it has! Breeders, Dairy¬ 
men, and Farmers recognize a registered cow as 
the last word in pure breeding. 
If you own Jerseys that are eligible to registration, 
write us for application blanks and have them regis¬ 
tered. The cost is small, and in many cases the value 
of the animal is doubled when it is registered.

New Idea in Breeding 
Mr. Charles T. Leach of Jefferson Co., 
Florida, sends a copy of the Monticello 
Xews; in which he prints the following: 
I am authorized by my company to offer 
the services of our young registered Hol¬ 
stein bull to the dairymen of Monticello 
|and vicinity, free of all charge. 
As he is only a yearling, he will be 
limited to two services a month for the 
next year, and appointments must be 
made one month in advance. 
J All cows must be absolutely tick free 
11 before they are brought to the farm. 
As this offer is made with the sole de- 
I sire to improve the milking qualities of 
the cows of this community, we reserve 
the right to pass upon the desirability of 
the cross on all cows served by this young 
bull. Registered Holstein cows will be 
icharged $25 per service. 
Mr. Leach says he thinks this a new 
‘stunt." and that the services of a high- 
class purebred bull never were offered 
Jersey blood is only pure when it is unmingled with the blood 
of other breeds, and your protection is in the Certificate of 
Registration issued by the American Jersey Cattle Club. 
Owing to the great demand now existing for Jersey Cattle, 
it is advisable for both seller and buyer to see that all registration 
papers on Jersey Cattle are kept up to 
date. Every animal and every sale should 
be promptly reported for registration and 
record to the American Jersey Cattle 
Club. Free application blanks for this 
purpose are always available.

If this is the case, give the cow three or 
four feeds a day: what she will clean up. 
Use a grain mixture three parts by weight 
of wheat bran, one part gluten feed, one 
part oil or cottonseed meal, with one

about lU quarts milk produced daily.

Figures About Holsteins 
The secretary of the Holstein Friesian 
Association of America has been conduct¬ 
ing a census to bring out interesting facts 
about the Holstein cattle. Blanks con¬ 
taining the questions were mailed to 50,- 
081 breeders and owners, and the returns 
are slowly coming in. Up to September 
15 the reports had been received from 
.10.040 owners. Including wrong ad¬ 
dresses and deaths. 11,758 were accounted 
for. and something like 50 of these blanks 
are coming in each day. As far as the 
blanks have been examined, the figures 
show that the average owner had nine 
registered animals, with an average of 
three unregistered animals per owner. 
As to the most profitable branch of the 
dairy business. 570 reported that the sale 
of stock was more profitable, while 2,688 
reported more profit in the sale <>f milk 
and its products. The average of those 
making reply to the question about total 
income from dairy products, was $2.4n9 
for each person, while the income from 
the sale of Ilolsteins ran to $1,041 per 
person; 516 dairymen said they were 
members of a cow-testing association, 
while 3,069 said they were not. A email 
minority only said they were members of 
their 8tute Breeders’ Association, with.a 
larger majority claiming membership in 
a local association. 
When the returns are all in the figures 
will prove very interesting, although as is 
usuallv the case in such an attempt to 
obtain figures, only a small proportion of 
those vdjo get the questions ever answer 
them.

free before. His object is to show the 
value of a single cross of pure blood on 
the ordinary stock of that country. It is 
easy enough to produce a good cow by 
mating two purebred animals, but the

always be si good grade and the best 
My cow was fresh last March. Gave 
considerable milk and got along all right 
until one night in Summer we put. her in 
a lot to keep her from running off in the 
morning, and next morning one of her 
teats was sore and she only gave a little 
milk out of it. which was bloody and 
continued lumpy for some time. There 
was some rye growing in the field, which 
the veterinarian here thought would ac¬ 
count for the trouble if she ate it. but I 
believe she hurt herself trying to get out.

service of the purebred will be in improv¬ 
ing grade cattle. This free service is a 
good thing and a fine advertisement. We 
have long tried to get the managers of 
the great farms to offer large prizes for 
exhibits of a bull and three or five of his 
daughters by common, unregistered cows. 
That would be more practical and busi¬ 
nesslike tluiu sliuwiug a herd of pure- 
breds. 
Buying Heifer 
I am about ready to buy a heifer weigh¬ 
ing about 900 pounds, to freshen in about 
three weeks. As I do not know anything 
about how and what to feed, T will appre¬ 
ciate any information. Is $90 too much 
to pay for the heifer? A. H. 
Central Park, L. I. 
There are two things to consider in 
pricing a heifer that has not come into 
milk, namely, her general appearance and 
the record of her ancestors; $90 should 
buy a reasonably good heifer. You do 
since, about a cupful or less, when out of 
another teat she gave a half gallon. Can 
you tell me what to do for her? Her 
milk becomes bitter in 24 hours, even 
though it is not sour. We do not use the 
milk from the diseased teat. She is a 
young cow ; has had three calves, out* was 
a mishap. She lives on grass, now and 
then we give her corn shucks or fresh 
corn. w. B. J. 
Virginia. 
We suspect that the tent was injured 
and caused inflammation of the udder. 
It is unlikely that the milk flow will re¬ 
turn to normal during the present period 
of lactation, but it may improve when 
she has another calf. Meanwhile milk 
and massage the affected quarter three 
times a day and at night rub in warm 
melted lard or sweet oil. If no improve¬ 
ment follows add a teaspoonful each of 
turpentine and fluid extract of poke root 
to half a cupful of melted lard or sweet 
oil and rub it in twice daily. Such a 
cow should be kept away from other cows 
in the stable and should be milked last, 
as the abnormal milk carries infection. 
Catch it in a separate vessel and keep it 
off the llooi's. a. S. A.
