T HIS wonderful new milker is 
ready to use when unboxed. No 
pipe lines nor engine necessary. It 
milks 2 cows at a time. One man 
alone can milk a 15-cow herd in 
about 45 minutes. Let one man do 
all your milking. You will save over 
$300 a year in wages. 
Uses compressed air to squeeze 
the teats and suction to suck out the 
milk. Gentle and comfortable to the 
cows and in most cases increases 
their milk yield. Has the patented 
Sharpies teat cups that are in daily 
use on over 1,000,000 cows. 
Our Famous 
Pipe-Line Milker 
For 8 years our pipe-line miflcer 
with the patented compressed air 
squeeze has stood unquestioned at 
the head of the milker industry. 
Mr. Sharpies’ invention of com¬ 
pressed air to squeeze and massage 
the teats first made milking ma¬ 
chines possible. This use of com¬ 
pressed air is broadly patented, and 
can be used by no other manufac¬ 
turer. For this reason, the Sharpies 
Portable and Needs 
No Installation 
milks much faster than any other 
machine, and as every farmer knows, 
fast milking increases the milk yield. 
Prices Positively 
Will Not Decrease 
Sharpies prices will not decrease. 
We will give anyone a written guar¬ 
antee of this on request. Our prices 
have increased only 9 °/o during the 
war and a price decrease is therefore 
out of the question.

Blood in Milk 
A cow 214 years old lmd a calf about 
3 1/2 months ago. Before calving the ud¬ 
der became very hard and caked, and it 
became necessary to milk her about three 
weeks before she calved, at which time 
she gave three or four quarts of milk 
After the calf was born she gave about 
1(5 quarts, and in due time the milk 
cleared up and the lumps in the udder 
disappeared. After three months the 
milk ’became bloody gradually from one 
teat only; this particular teat gives about 
three-quarters of the milk. It is getting 
so bad that it is impossible to use that 
portion of it, and while the cow’s general 
health appears to be good, I feel that 
something ought to be done at once. The 
blood occurs in a teat that was on the 
side of the udder that was the least caked. 
New York. w. n. f. 
A careful handling or feeling of the 
teat of the affected quarter of the udder 
may locate a growth in the duet as the 
cause of the bleeding. When such a 
growth is close to the opening of the teat 
it may be removed by an operation to be 
performed by a qualified veterinarian, 
but if it is close to the udder the better 
course would he to dry off milk secretion 
in that quarter, or allow a calf to nurse. 
Another possible cause is chronic mani- 
mitis, following an attack of acute mam- 
mitis or garget. If neither cause is 
found present the bleeding simply is due 
to rupture of tiny blood vessels from pres¬ 
sure in the. quarter which gives the most 
milk. For that condition we should ad¬ 
vise bathing of the quarter twice daily 
with cold water and vinegar, equal quan¬ 
tities. and mixing a level teaspoonful of 
dried sulphate of iron and three of salt 
in the feed each evening. Increase to 
two such doses daily, if fouud necessary. 
It may be added that it always is well to 
have a family cow tested with tuberculin, 
as tuberculosis sometimes causes such a 
condition in the udder, or may show no 
apparent effect. 
Catarrh 
I have a young cow which began to 
breathe very hard, and finally to dis¬ 
charge from the nose; also the eyes be¬ 
came watery. She did not have any 
fever, no loss of appetite, drank well, has 
lost but little flesh. At present the eyes 
are better, but she still has a discharge. 
We have no veterinary in this part of the 
country. g. m. c. 
Maine. 
Such a cow should, as soon as possible, 
be tested with tuberculin and in hot 
weather the intradermal or ophthalmic 
method of testing should be preferred. 
Perhaps you can arrange to have some 
expert apply the test. Meanwhile have 
the stable kept clean and well ventilated 
to prevent formation of irritating gases, 
and have it perfectly ventilated. Also 
keep the cow out of dust and from any 
pasture where ragweed is prevalent. Keep 
her nostrils clean. Sprinkle a little 
chloride of lime upon the floor at the 
front of her stall, and twice daily give in 
feed a level teaspoon fill of dried sulphate 
of iron, one each of powdered hydrastis 
and gentian root and half a teaspoonful 
of powdered mix vomica. Increase doses 
of iron and nux if seen to be necessary. 
Dropsical Swelling 
1. I have a cow between nine aud 10 
years old. She has a swelling under her 
throat; it seems as if it were full of pus. 
’The skin hangs loose. Can you advise 
me what to do to cure it? I have rubbed 
it with liniment. It seems to go down 
at times and then swells up again, but is 
always soft. 2. Is there any cure for 
horse disease, and is there anything that 
will prevent it? .m.a. m. 
New Jersey. 
1. The swelling is dropsical, or edema¬ 
tous. and is the indication of bloodlessness 
(anemia), usually due to tuberculosis or 
some other debilitating disease. In a few 
cases a cyst (ramula) is found under the 
tongue, and after its fluid contents have 
been liberated by cutting tlie external 
swelling subsides. Have the cow tested 
with tuberculin. Any trained veter¬ 
inarian can apply the test. 2. If you 
care to send a description and full par¬ 
ticulars regarding what you term “horse 
disease,” we shall be glad to give advice. 
Lump on Jaw 
Would you advise what to do for a 
bunch on a cow’s face? I have a cow 
that has a bunch perhaps 3 in. below tbe 
eye and a little back of a line from, tbe 
eye to the nostril, not back on the jaw. 
It is about the size of a hickorynut, 
hard, almost like bone. It seemed to 
appear all at once, and has been there 
several months since I noticed it. I don t 
see that it grows any. G. s - c - • 
New York. 
If nothing is found wrong with a tooth 
in the upper jaw near the seat of the 
lump, we suspect that the tumor has re¬ 
sulted from a bruise or puncture. A dis¬ 
eased or split molar tooth should be re¬ 
moved. If the teeth are sound, have the 
tumor dissected out, or paint it with 
tincture of iodine every other day, if you 
cannot conveniently employ a veter¬ 
inarian.
