MILKER 
Pulso-Relay 
(The Pulso- Relay is not 
shown in the part of the Milker 
installation pictured here. 
It is placed at regular inter¬ 
vals on the vacuum pipe) 
Absolute regularity of action 
throughout a large Milker in¬ 
stallation is very important and 
necessary. 
The De Laval Milker is suc¬ 
cessfully used in large barns, and 
in several separate barns, only one power unit (the De Laval 
Pulso-Pump) being used. This is made possible by the 
invention of the Pulso-Relay; a small, simple device which 
is installed at regular intervals on the vacuum pipe. 
The De Laval Milker »s positive, uniform in addon, 
and requires no adjusting of any kind. It is faster, more 
reliable and more sanitary than any other method of milking.

Cattle at the Springfield Show 
The Eastern States Exposition, as 
staged at Springfield, Mass., is an insti¬ 
tution in itself. It is clearly the only 
show in the East that attracts and in¬ 
terests those who believe in agricultural 
pursuits and are concerned about our 
live stock problems. Six years ago the 
National Dairy Show was held at Spring- 
field. It was the first attempt to take a 
really Western show into Eastern terri¬ 
tory, and it met. with such a cordial wel¬ 
come that an organization was framed, 
designed to make permanent arrange¬ 
ments for sin Eastern show. The expo¬ 
sition as now controlled is only three 
years old, and few of us realize the tre¬ 
mendous growth and expansion that it 
has made. Permanent buildings house 
practically till of the exhibits, and the 
whole exhibition is administered in such 
an efficient manner that all of the depart¬ 
ments know exactly what is expected of 
them, and are not content unless the de¬ 
sired results are achieved. 
Live stock farming in the East is gain¬ 
ing a tremendous following. Up to this 
time dairying has sallied forth in a prac¬ 
tically unmolested field. Discourage¬ 
ments one after another have overtaken 
many dairy farmers, and many of them 
are scanning the horizon wondering if 
there is any other phase of live stock 
farming that would be less confining and 
offering a livelihood, even though the net 
returns might not be as attractive. It 
was observed that when the dual-purpose 
or beef brands of cattle were being shown 
there was a very great interest mani¬ 
fested. The milking Shorhorns have al¬ 
ways been popular in New England; in 
fact, it is their native heath so far as 
this country is concerned, and when we 
realize that there were more milking 
Shorthorns exhibited at Springfield than 
any other breed of cattle we are prompted 
to’ recognize their popularity in New 
England. . . , ^ 
A foreign judge was invited to make 
the awards, yet earnest comment prompts 
the .suggestion that lie was not as con¬ 
sistent in bis plaeings. nor did he cling 
to a definite type as persistently as did 
Sir. Hobbs, who performed the same task 
last year. Mr. Atwater’s method was to 
select a Shorthorn first of all, and then 
look for milk-making machinery. Conse¬ 
quently the types that were invariably 
selected as bis tops were large and 
smooth, and of necessity carried a gen¬ 
erous amount of flesh. He could not ex¬ 
cuse the bareness on the back of a bull de¬ 
signed to head a herd of milking Short¬ 
horns. , 
Perhaps the outstanding feature of the 
milking Shorthorn slmw was the win¬ 
nings made by the Flintstone Farm, of 
Dalton. Mass. It will be remembered 
that three years ago Flintstone Farm 
bought Knowsley’s (lift at the Pierre 
auction at Cranford, N. J., paying in the 
neighborhood of $4,000 for this animal. 
There were critics who contended that the 
bull lacked somewhat in scale and size, 
who gave him credit for carrying a wealth 
of natural flesh, and credited him with 
breeding, character and masculinity that 
suggested prepotency. Mr. Crane, took 
this animal to Dalton and used him as 
his herd sire. The results have been truly 
gratifying. With a single exception all 
of the animals exhibited by. Flintstone 
Farm were sired by Knowsley’s (lift, and 
invariably representatives from this farm 
headed their classes in one, two, three 
order. In commenting on the achieve¬ 
ment of this breeder after the show the 
foreign judge complimented Mr. Crane on 
the splendid type that he was tying to, 
and stated that, in his judgment, it was 
not dissimilar to the most popular type m 
England. Mr. Atwater felt that the con¬ 
ditions as affecting milking Shorthorns in 
this country were not dissimilar to those 
presented to the English farmer -l\ or 
‘24 years ago, and lie was of the opinion 
that the American breeder would make 
more rapid progress than the British 
farmer, especially if he would cling to the 
popular Shorthorn type, and not empha¬ 
size too drastically the quality of milk 
production. 
Unfortunately there were more tail- 
enders in the milking Shorthorn classes 
than ought to be encountered at a show 
of this character, and just why some 
breeders insist upon exhibiting animals 
that ought to be left at home we wero 
never able to explain. 
J. E. and C. B. Wade, of Orangeville, 
Ohio, won first and grand champion on 
their aged hull Queenstou Duke. This 
white bull is always jit home in the show 
ring. Unfortunately his owners have not 
exhibited very many of his get. The 
value of the Dull is based upon wlmt he 
dues as well as upon what lie is. Knows* 
ley’s Gift was second, lacking the size, 
scale and symmetry that the old hull pre¬ 
sented. In the two-year-old class Flint- 
stone Model, owned by the Connecticut 
Agricultural College, headed his class, 
lie is a bull of large promise, and was 
exhibited in splendid condition. Flintstone 
Farm won first, second and third in the 
next class on hulls sired by Knowsley’s 
(lift. They likewise won first on Flint¬ 
stone Jewel in the under one year class. 
What is believed to be the record class 
of milking Shorthorns was paraded when 
the class for cows five years old and over 
was called. The regulations provided 
that cows competing in this class must 
he in milk, and the foreign judge went a 
step further and insisted that the cows 
be milked out in the ring, pointing out that 
while it might lie possible for some 
judges to tell whether it was milk or 
flesh that made an udder shapely, he

Early to Market—Full Weight 
51 per cent of all hogs mar¬ 
keted in the United States in 
1918 were Duroc-Jerseys. 
Duroc-Jersey hogs have 
proved themselves in cham¬ 
pionship shows as well as on 
the market. 
Du roc-Jersey liogs raise large families and put on weight quickly. They are hardy, easy feeding 
animals that mature at an early age, and are uniformly red in color.
