Biggest Labor Saver on the Farm 
Every day there is some barn cleaning to do—and even if it takes 
only the average of an hour a day you are spending over a month 
every year—. just cleaningyour barn. You can actually save fully 
two thirds of this time by using a Louden Manure Carrier to do 
this job. Figure it out—the Louden Carrier will pay for itself the 
first year in the saving of time alone, and the saving goes on year 
after year as long as the barn stands. 
In addition the Louden Carrier takes all that drudgery out of 
this hard disagreeable chore. It takes the equal of five wheel¬ 
barrow loads of manure at a single trip—takes it clean without 
dripping or scattering—dumps it directly into the spreader. 
Operates so easily on roller bearing trolleys that a 12-year-old 
boy finds the job a pleasure. You can install a Louden Manure 
Carrier in your barn just as it stands, at small cost. It is one of 
the most profitable investments any farmer can make.

A 
Better Way 
of Milking 
The 
Thumb 
Test 
Stick your thumbs in the teat-cups of a 
De Laval Milker, and then have the full 
vacuum turned on. 
This is the easiest and best way to get 
an idea of the uniform, gentle and pleasing 
action of the De Laval Milker on a cow’s teats. 
Try it with any milker. (See that full 
vacuum is turned on.) If such action hurts 
your thumbs, then you will know that it 
must hurt the cow’s teats, and a cow in 
discomfort will not produce to her fullest 
extent. 
The uniform and gentle action of the 
De Laval is an exclusive feature and one of 
the reasons the De Laval Milker is gaining 
so rapidly in popularity.

ot honor, Dean Skinner while located 
m the corn belt has had numerous oppor¬ 
tunities to study New England agricul¬ 
tural conditions especially as regards beef 
production and expressed "himself as firmly 
convinced that there was a great field 
tor Aberdeen-Angus cattle or in fact all 
breeds of beef cattle in the Eastern States 
and that before many years the great 
areas of grass now going to waste in this 
section would be producing beef. He 
stated that he was greatly pleased bv the 
showing of Angus at the Eastern States 
Exposition and with the interest shown 
by breeders and spectators alike in the 
judging of the breed. Len. Lamar of the 
American Aberdeen-Angus Association

Grand Champion 
Ropy Milk 
We have a Holstein cow that onlv 
lacks an eighth of being purebred. She 
had her second calf last Now Year’s Day 
Since that time, about once a month, the 
milk, after it stands a while, becomes 
stringy and slimy. This lasts for about 
a week, then becomes normal again. We 
have tried all kinds of dairy feed, but 
seems to have no effect. Is the milk unfit 
for baby’s use? mrs. p. t. g. 
Two sets of conditions are responsible 
for ropy or slimy milk. The most com¬ 
mon is where the milk is clotted or 
stringy when drawn, as in some forms of 
garget. This is generally due to the pres¬ 
ence of viscid pus, and is often accom¬ 
panied by a bloody discharge, such a con¬ 
dition representing an inflamed state of 
the udder. Ropiness of this character is 
usually present in the milk as it comes 
from the udder,, and will tend to decrease 
with time. This is an important consid¬ 
eration to bear in mind in distinguishing 
between the two kinds of ropiness. The 
second kind does not appear in fresh milk, 
■but develops after the milk has been 
drawn for a few hours or days, and in¬ 
creases rather than diminishes, as in the 
case of the other form. 
This latter form of ropy milk is caused 
by a germ that gets into the milk from the 
outside after the milk is drawn. Their 
defects are liable to occur at any season 
of the year. Their presence in a" dairy is 
a source of much trouble, as the unsight¬ 
ly appearance of the milk precludes its 
use as a food, although there is no evi¬ 
dence that these ropy fermentations are 
dangerous to health. This organism pos¬ 
sesses the property of developing at low 
temperature (45° to 50°F.) and conse¬ 
quently is often able to crowd out the 
more common milk-souring bacteria. It 
is a very resistant organism and hard to 
destroy once it gets into the water sup¬ 
ply. utensils or strainer cloths. Thorough 
sterilizing of all such pieces of equipment 
is required. Their organisms often occur 
in marshy places and get onto the cow’s 
udder while the cow is at pasture. It 
then becomes localized in the barn dust, 
or iu the water tanks where milk is 
cooled, or even in the utensils and strain¬ 
er cloths. or. w. B. 
Eastern Angus Banquet 
The annual banquet of the Eastern 
Aberdeen-Angus Breeders’ Association 
was held at Hotel Kimball. Springfield. 
Mass. About 45 breeders, their wives 
and friends of the breed were present. 
This banquet is the annual get together of 
eastern breeders and has been the means 
of bringing eastern breeders into closer 
contact with each other, in establishing 
the Eastern Aberdeen-Angus Breeders 
Association and in many ways bringing 
The Newlyweds have a home in the 
suburbs and Mrs. N. was relating her dis¬ 
appointment with her garden to a sympa¬ 
thetic caller. “We did hope to have luck 
with out tomatoes.” she said, “but even 
those failed us.” “What was the trouble?” 
“You know there are several kinds of to¬ 
matoes, and we thought we had planted 
the red kind, and now those horrid old 
tomato bushes are just covered with the 
green ones, which we don’t want at all. as 
we never eat pickles.”—Boston Trans¬ 
cript.
