Three Tests of a Dairy Feed 
The three tests of a dairy feed are: 
Will it keep the cow in condition? 
Will it make more milk? (. 
Will the milk cost less? 
These are the tests we invite for Tioga Dairy 
Feeds. Wherever made they have won out and 
brought real, true profit to the feeder because: 
The 3 Tioga Dairy Feeds, Red, White and Blue 
Brands, enable you always to maintain a prop¬ 
erly balanced ration, no matter what roughage 
you have to feed. You can always provide your 
cow with what she needs for producing milk, main¬ 
taining condition and health—at the lowest cost. 
In feeding Red, White or Blue Brand Tioga 
Dairy Feed, with the roughage as intended, you 
get more milk, keep cows in better condition and 
make more profit on the milk produced. 
The tag on every bag shows the feed to use 
with the roughage you have. 
Prove this to your own satisfaction. Write 
US if your dealer can’t supply you.

Abnormal Milk 
I have a cow’ that is three months 
fresh, gives a good quantity of milk, eats 
well and seems well. When straining 
milk there will be a formation on the 
strainer, looking something like cottage 
cheese or thick cream, so much so that 
the milk will not go through the strainer. 
What is the cause of it. and what can I 
give the cow to overcome it? n. T. s. 
New York. 
As germs (bacteria) in the milk uten¬ 
sils sometimes cause this or other changes 
in milk that has stood for some time, the 
first step should be to determine whether 
the cow is really to blame, or if the 
cause is bacterial action. To that end 
we should advise you to set a sample of 
milk from each quarter of the udder in 
separate bottles that have been steril¬ 
ized by boiling and labelled so that the 
source of the contents of each will be 
known. Let the milk stand for 12 hours 
in a rather cool place, and again for 24 
hours. Then note if the milk in any bot¬ 
tle has become abnormal in the way you 
mention, or if all of the milk has become 
similarly abnormal, or if all of it has re¬ 
mained practically unchanged in appear¬ 
ance and consistency. It may he that you 
will find one quarter of the udder affected 
with chronic garget (mammitis), and if 
that is the case the milk from that quar¬ 
ter is unfit and probably dangerous for 
use. The milk from the other quarters 
may also be unfit, although not appar¬ 
ently abnormal after standing for some 
time. To determine that, however, it 
would be necessary to have a sample of 
the milk examined by a bacterilologist. 
The danger is from pus germs often pres¬ 
ent in milk from a garget-affected quar¬ 
ter of the udder. Such milk may cause 
serious sickness, especially in children 
and young animals. Chronic garget is 
incurable. An affected cow should be 
isolated, dried off and fitted for the butch¬ 
er, unless she is very valuable on account 
of pedigree, when she may possibly be 
retained and used for breeding, provided 
she is kept isolated. Iler calf may be al¬ 
lowed to nurse if sound milk is yielded by 
the unaffected quarters. Such a cow al¬ 
ways is a menace in a dairy herd, how¬ 
ever, as infection possibly may spread 
from her to other cows. If the udder 
proves to be sound, more carefully 
cleanse, scald and sun-dry the milk uten¬ 
sils, and set the milk in a different sani¬ 
tary place. See that all water used for 
drinking or cooling or washing utensils 
is pure. Contaminated water is a com¬ 
mon source of the germs that cause ropi¬ 
ness or other changes in milk. Mix one 
ounce of chlorinated lime or hypochlorite 
of soda in each gallon of washing water 
at first, and half that quantity when the 
conditions improve. A. S. A. 
Never Trust a Bull 
It almost made me shudder to see the 
picture of that girl holding that four- 
year-old bull on page 8. A cousin’s fath¬ 
er-in-law, an old man in his seventies, 
well along in them, used to lead a favor¬ 
ite Jersey bull to water with a rope; 
said that he was as gentle as a kitten. 
But one day he gave a roar that was 
blood-curdling, and started to gore the 
old man, and had it not been for his son 
being near would have killed him quickly. 
An old farmer in my native town had a 
very quiet bull and he led it to water 
with a rope, when the bull suddenly 
turned on him and would have killed him 
but for the assistance of his son. 
A rich man in the neighboring town of 
Rutland had a fine purebred bull. The 
hired man went into the pen to unhitch 
him and the bull turned on him and killed 
him. 
A man had a pair of stags; the hired 
man went to the pasture to drive them 
up, with some other cattle. One of the 
stags followed along behind, then sud¬ 
denly pitched on the man. and the man 
held'him by the ring until help came, but 
died from his injuries. This last story 
was enacted at a neighbor’s, whose house 
and much of his land was in plain sight 
of my old farm home. Never trust a bull! 
Never! J. t. siiadd.

We have had a warm rainy winter 
except for January 6 aud_ 7. when the 
temperature dropped to 15 below zero, 
with the wind blowing a perfect gale. 
Today, January 10, it is warm enough 
to go without a coat. Roads that are 
not paved are in a terrible condition from 
so much rain. Even the cindered roads 
are washed out and watersoaked till they 
are almost impassable. Paved roads are 
wet and slippery, and accidents are an 
everyday occurrence among careless or 
drunken drivers. __ E *
