The Perfect Teat Cup 
The Universal teat cup 
is simplicity itself. Easily 
and quickly assembled or 
taken apart without tools 
—and extremely easy to 
keep clean. Two main 
parts -- metal shell and 
rubber liner. 
The shell is of durable 
metal—no seams or pock¬ 
ets. At the top, a rubber 
ring—soft, like the calf’s 
mouth, leaving no cold 
metal to touch the cow. 
The conical liner is 
made of the best rubber 
- soft as the human hand. 
Gives a soothing massage 
from the end of the teat up. 
For simplicity, ease in cleaning and 
milking efficiency, the Universal teat 
cup stands without an equal. 
HE teat cup is, after all, the 
vital part of a milking machine. 
It is the part that really does 
the milking—the only part that 
comes in contact with the cow. 
Upon its action depends, in great measure, 
the success of the milker. 
That’s why the Universal excels. It has 
the perfect teat cup. Watch this cup in ac¬ 
tion. It milks just like the calf. First a gentle 
suction—just enough. That draws the milk. 
Then it stops sucking—just as a calf does when 
swallowing—while it massages the teat, from 
the end up— naturally, gently. 
No cold metal parts to touch the cow. The 
conical shaped rubber liner gives a perfect mas¬ 
sage. Cannot fold or pinch. And it fits any 
normal size teat perfectly without adjusting. The cup 
is most quickly and easily cleaned without taking it apart. 
Alternates—Like Milking With Hands 
Cows like to be milked with a Universal, for it milks 
the natural way— massages two teats and milks two, 
alternately. It milks cows cleaner, in less time--and 
with absolutely no strain- -by milking in this gentle, 
natural, alternating-action way. 
Your dealer will be glad to demonstrate this famous milker.

Garden Notes from New England 
Expensive Tools. — Garden - makers 
Who have a fair equipment of tools are 
advised to give them as good care as 
possible, so that it will not be necessary to 
replace them for some time. Prices of 
tools have gone skyward, like those of 
everything else, and some kinds are hard 
to get. Even wheelbarrows are now 
classed as luxuries, and some dealers can¬ 
not supply their customers at all. owing 
to delayed shipments. I heard of one 
man who had a big supply of bodies, but 
was unable to get the wheels necessary 
to make the barrows complete. I used to 
know a very successful gardener who 
boasted that he used up a hoe every sea¬ 
son by filing it. lie claimed that he was 
able to do a great deal more work with 
much less labor by keeping a sharp point 
on his implement. Perhaps he went to 
extremes, but many a man would get bet¬ 
ter results if he carried a file in his pocket 
whenever he went into the garden, and 
used it freely, no only on his hoe. but on 
other tools as well. Moreover, it pays to 
keep the blades clean and shiny, for other¬ 
wise more or less earth is certain to ad¬ 
here to them, and must be lifted as well 
as the tool itself. Sometimes it pays 
also to paint a bright-colored ring on the 
handles of all garden tools. Neighbors 
are less likely to borrow them and fail 
to bring them back when this is done, 
and with small tools, like trowels and 
hand weeders, painting the handles often 
prevents their being lost in the grass. 
New Winter Squash. —A new Win¬ 
ter squash which is receiving much at¬ 
tention in ’ the Middle West is called 
Table Queen. It is said to he superla¬ 
tively fine for the home garden, and I am 
planning to grow it this year, so that I 
can make a personal report in the Fall. 
Cucumbers. —Probably there are no 
better bush cucumbers than Davis Per¬ 
fect, but in sections where it is difficult 
to grow cucumbers on account of disease, 
the Japanese climbing cucumber is recom¬ 
mended. When trained up on chicken 
Cleaning Off the Hoe 
wire it is pretty sure to yield at least 
fairly well. It is worth remembering 
that the striped beetles are held to be 
guilty of conveying the spores of fungus 
diseases, and that it is important to keep 
these pests in bounds. The easiest way 
I have found to do this is to pour a mix¬ 
ture of Black Leaf 40 or some other to¬ 
bacco solution around the roots of the 
plants of squash, cucumbers and melons, 
and to use rough boxes with mosquito 
netting tacked across the top over tic 
hills until the plants outgrow them. 
Favorite Boses. —There is a big call 
for roses this year; apparently the Amer¬ 
ican people are determined to have beau¬ 
tiful as well as utilitarian gardens, and 
are planting flowers freely. Roses cost 
approximately a dollar a plant, and. un¬ 
fortunately, novices often make mistakes 
in choosing from the very long lists of 
varieties offered, with the result that they 
lose many of the plants when the first 
hard Winter comes along, or else find 
them unsatisfactory in other ways. If I 
were asked to name a list of roses for 
the farmer’s garden, I should put- Caro¬ 
line Testout first. Probably it is the 
best of all roses for home gardens. Then 
I would add an abbreviated list to include 
Bittliance. pink; Frau Karl Druschki, 
white; Mrs. John Laing. pink: General 
MacArthur. red ; Mrs. Wakefield Christie 
Miller, blush ; My Maryland, pink: Phar- 
isaer. white, and Willowmere, pink. 
Climbing Sorts. —If there is a porch 
on the house there ought to he climbing 
roses t<» beautify it. hut not the old-time 
Crimson Rambler, which is too untidy to 
meet the exactions of modern gardeners. 
If you live in a very exposed situation, 
confine yourself to the Climbing Ameri¬ 
can Beauty, probably the hardiest of all 
climbers, but for ordinary locations^ you 
can add Dorothy Perkins, Dr. Van Fleet, 
American Pillar. Excelsa and Silver 
Moon, all of which are wonderfully beau¬ 
tiful. One other rose which I would 
recommend is a hybrid of Rosa rugosa, 
which is called Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, 
and makes a bush six or seven feet high, 
which, when grown, will carry hundreds 
of wonderfully large, flesh-colored flowers 
at one time. By all weans have roses, 
but choose kinds which will not leave you 
with an empty garden after a year or two.
