De Laval Service 
covers the continent 
This map shows how completely the service of the 
De Laval organization reaches every community 
Every separator user realizes the importance of having his separator in 
use every day. Delays waiting for parts, with a separator out of use, 
mean great inconvenience and loss of product. 
Every dot on the map represents ten De Laval agents, and every 
De Laval agent is individually trained to assist his customers in setting up 
and operating their machines, to furnish and put in place repair parts, and 
to insure prompt service and satisfaction to De Laval users. 
Not only is the De Laval Cream Separator superior in all points of 
separator efficiency, but every user of a De Laval is assured of prompt 
and competent service for all the years to come. 
It is therefore not surprising that there are more De Laval Separators 
in use than all other makes combined. Now is a good time to begin 
saving time and product by securing a De Laval. 
The nearest De Laval agent will be glad to 
demonstrate a De Laval. If you do not know 
his name, write to nearest De Laval office

Live Stock Notes 
The Sheep and the Goats 
In regard to brushing land, brought 
out by the question from Ontario County, 
New York, before a man makes an in¬ 
vestment be should look tit (he cost, the 
expenses along the way and the returns 
at the end. Goats will cost loss than 
sheep; the keep will be more expensive 
with fences and care, and the returns not 
half so much as from sheep. Their util¬ 
ity as scavengers is about equal. Goats 
have had a clear field in America; are 
in the background with friends. Sheep 
have all the antagonism a misguided peo¬ 
ple could hand them with polities, dogs 
and business, and have numerous good 
friends. Considering this, from the Bible 
comparison of sheep and goats down to 
the present, it is possible to form an 
estimate of their comparative values to 
mankind. 
Again, for the first time in the history 
of the world, intelligent, powerful men 
have organized to put sheep in the place 
they merit, to educate on the value of 
their meat and the intrinsic value of the 
fiber they grow. The public is learning 
that these are the best and most neces¬ 
sary things for mankind. These men, 
with others constantly joining them, will 
not loiter by the wayside, nor fall down. 
Americans are going to wear virgin wool 
fibers, and discriminating, dissatisfied 
people are making trouble about what 
tliev must wear now. The trouble has 
only begun. Goats may have a future 
and we wish them luck, but it is the for¬ 
tunate man who owns sheep, and the wise 
man who connects with some before they 
advance in value. w. w. Reynolds. 
Laurel Poisoning 
In reference to your article on laurel 
poisoning, in the mountains here sheep 
laurel grows in abundance, but as a gen¬ 
eral rule cattle and horses do not touch 
it. But there is always the exception. 
I had a 10-months-old calf which ate 
some -sheep laurel when the ground was 
covered with snow a few years ago. It 
certainly poisoned her. The symptoms 
were just as if she had fits. Her eyes 
were glassy, she could not stand on her 
feet, frothed at the mouth and had a 
great pain in her stomach, by the way 
she threw herself around. I immediately 
milked a cow and forced, by means of a 
bottle, a good pint of the warm milk down 
her throat; half an hour after I forced 
some olive oil down her throat. In about 
one hour I gave her more warm milk and 
repeated the milk for about one day, and 
then I gave her a good physic. In about 
two days the calf was around all right 
again. I know this was sheep laurel 
poisoning, as it was a bush growing be¬ 
tween the barn and spring, and while 
going to drink she ate some of it. I saw 
her eat it, hut at the time thought noth¬ 
ing of it. The laurel bush, I might say, 
is no longer there. j. 31.

Repairing a Silo 
I have a silo 14*4x15 ft., square, which 
was built 10 years ago. The rats have 
made holes almost all around the silo, 
and lots of my silage spoils. I am plan¬ 
ning to fix the inside. What would you 
think of plaster-board, then mix cement 
and lime and plaster over that. w. o. D. 
As no description was given of the silo 
or the condition of the structure. I am 
inclined to think that the rats are the 
destructive element, rather than decay, 
and I would institute a campaign against 
them. Do not loth-and-plaster nor use 
wall board, but get some sound hemlock 
inch lumber and paint it thickly with roof 
paint. Ceil up your silo 5 or 6 ft. with 
it. as I imagine your silo frame is all 
sound. Dig down around the inside of the 
silo, close to the walls, 8 in. or so. that 
the new lining will come down well be¬ 
low the walls of the silo, and then fill 
in with Cement and well out into the silo, 
and let me know if any rats come through 
into the silage. If they should come in 
“over the top,” keep the doors shut and 
put a cover on top; besides, you will find 
out how little silage will freeze, j. g.
