ART BUTTBRBRODT 
A. Perfection Enthusiast! 
Art Butterbrodt Converted! 
'p'OUR years ago”, says Mr. Butterbrodt in tell- 
ing how he became an enthusiastic user of a 
Perfection Milker. “I bought the second Perfec¬ 
tion Milker sold in this vicinity. At that time 
this milker was generally unknown in this locality, 
while today it is generally recognized as the best 
machine on the market. I bought a Perfection 
when I was not wholly convinced of the practica¬ 
bility of any milker, but now I wouldn’t part 
with it.” 
Cows Teats and Udders In 
Perfect Condition 
“When my cow* went dry I even feared that 
some bad effects would be revealed after freshening. 
However, I was surprised to find that after freshen¬ 
ing my cows milked more evenly on all four quar¬ 
ters than they ever did when milked by hand. 
“A year ago I milked my cows three times a 
day with the machine for a period of six months. 
At the end of this period the cows’ teats and udders 
were in as perfect condition as ever.” 
The Best Hired Man 
"The milker was just as willing to work three times a‘day 
as twice. It never kicked and has never refused to work when 
I wanted to use it since the day it was installed in my barn. 
At the end of four years continuous use I am free to state that 
I find milking with the Perfection more satisfactory than 
hand milking. And the Perfection makes it easier to secure 
hired help and to keep the help in good humor.” 
It’s Time For You To Investigate 
Thousands of dairymen are putting in the Perfection 
Milker every year. It’s the answer to the labor problem. 
Investigate for yourself. We’ll gladly send you names and 
addresses of Perfection owners, together with a free copy of 
"What the Dairyman Wants to Know” the book that answers 
every question about milking machines. Today is the day 
to write.

SUPPORT 
’^*LOBE SILOS are substantially 
built to keep silage prime, allow 
the farmer to use the full capacity of 
his silo, and to stand with the least 
amount of hitching and tinkering. 
The Globe! extension roof insures a silo 
full to the top. 
Globe method of building up staves, provides a 
smooth, strong silo, supported in every direction at 
every given point. Stave sections are put together 
with double steel splines and sealed between joints 
with roofing cement. Thus with the tongue and 
groove there are 6 points of support and airtight¬ 
ness insured for every stave.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Skin Disease 
I have two cows and a heifer which 
have some kind of itch. They pull the 
hair out with their teeth. Can you tell 
me anything I can do to relieve them or 
cure it? j. j. o. 
New Jersey. 
Lice may he causing the irritation. 
Groom the animals with a brush dipped 
in raw linseed oil, if lice are found 
present, freely apply insect powder and 
flowers of sulphur if the weather is too 
cool to allow use of a liquid. Isolate 
the affected animals. Cleanse, disinfect 
and whitewash the stable fixtures and 
rubbing places. 
Ewes Dying 
What is the matter with my flock of 
sheep? I have lost, seven tine young ewes 
and have three or four more failing. The 
first I notice is that. I find them down 
in the lot and unable to get up on their 
feet. They are so weak in rear quarters 
they are not able to pick themselves up. 
When picked up, they stagger off, reeling, 
and fall again if you don't hang on to 
them until they get balanced. Their wool 
pulls out without any effort. They are 
terribly dirty at the nose, and when they 
fall they are hardly able to catch their 
breath for quite a few seconds. They 
are in good shape, having had all the good 
clover hay they would eat. silage and a 
little grain. They are lambing now, and 
the lambs live a few hours and die. A 
veterinarian called it pasture tuberculosis, 
Said there was nothing to do but prevent 
it, but did not know how to do that. He 
said to vaccinate against it. c. A. w. 
New York. 
Tuberculosis in sheep is such an ex¬ 
treme raritv that we may consider it neg¬ 
ligible and certainly not the cause of the 
death of your ewes. Such losses are quite 
common when during Winter bred ewes 
have been heavily fed and 'too much con¬ 
fined. They do not occur when ewes are 
made to walk three or four miles a day ro 
get. their clover or Alfalfa hay, and if 
their bowels at all times are kept active. 
Constipation and torpidity of the liver 
lead to absorption of poisonous matters 
or autointoxication and death. A post¬ 
mortem examination usually shows the 
liver to be light yellow and friable, or rot¬ 
ten. and other abnormal conditions often 
are present and help do cause fatal results. 
Some of these are gadfly, grubs in the 
sinuses of the head, nodular disease of 
the intestines or intestinal or lung para¬ 
sites. As the ewes have a profuse dis¬ 
charge from the nostrils, grubs may he 
the cause, or they may have chronic ca¬ 
tarrh. In the latter ease pneumonia 
sometimes occurs as a complication and 
proves fatal. It is possible that hemor¬ 
rhagic septicemia (that. Western disease) 
has caused your losses, but the other 
causes are more likely to have been pres¬ 
ent. 
Lice on Horse 
Will you advise me what to do to get 
rid of large gray horse lice? I have a 
Western horse that has lice. The horse 
has a good appetite, but does not gain any 
flesh. f. C. F. 
New York. 
It is best to clip a lousy horse and after 
singeing the coat with a special lamp 
wash with a 1-100 solution of coal tar dip. 
Blanket afterward if the stable is cold, 
and when the horse is standing outdoors. 
If you cannot do this, wash the infested 
parts with a tea of 4 ounces of stavesaore 
or larkspur seeds boiled for 30 minutes 
iind thou strained. If weather is too cold 
to allow of washing, dust the skin with it 
mixture of two parts of freshly powdered 
pyrethrum and one part each of flowers 
of sulphur and powdered tobacco leaves. 
Repeat as often as seems to he necessary. 
Cleanse, disinfect and whitewash the 
stable. Color the limewash a neutral tint 
by adding lamp black or yellow ochre. 
Pure white is too dazzling and hard on 
the eyes for use in a horse stable. 
Lump Jaw 
I have a three-year-old steer with » 
hunch ou his upper jaw directly above the 
first two teeth. It is hard as the hone 
itself. The steer eats all right and chews 
his cud. The two teeth under the bunch 
are black, and seem to be partly decayed. 
What can be done? w< P- 
Maine. 
The fact that the teeth are black indi- 
ates that they are diseased, as well as 
lie bones about their sockets. It m.i>, 
herefore, be concluded that this ts a true 
use of lump jaw (actinomycosis), due 11 
uvasion of the tissues by the ray inn- 
•us.” Treatment rarely pays when tne 
iones and teeth are seriously involves, 
nd we shall, therefore, advise you t 
laughter the steer for meat while m got 1 
lesh. Later it may become emnciateu 
rot.i inability properly to masticate tt .< • 
f preferred, the animal may be shU l»e« 
,, the stockyards and slaughtered under 
eterinarv inspection. If you do nor «‘ r ' 
O have the steer slaughtered, have a w 
rinariau extract the teeth and 1| 1
