Wifi Do the Work of a Dozen Men 
After using a Meeker Smoothing Harrow on his extensive seed 
farms at Marblehead, Mass., James J. Gregory writes: By actual 
test, I find that in the final work of preparing a bed for the planting 
of small seeds, such as onion, carrot and beet, it will do 
the work of over a dozen men.” 
Thousands of truck growers ^consider the Meeker Smoothing Harrow as neces¬ 
sary as the plow. It helps good seeds grow, assuring quick germination and an 
even stand of strong plants. Makes heaviest soil fine and smooth.

Right hand gangs are shifted independently of left hand gangs. This 
makes it possible to turn shorter corners and leave the land in better 
condition. Gangs are easily angled or straightened while tractor is in 
motion by levers which can be easily reached by the operator from the 
tractor seat.

Bitter Cream 
My cream tastes a little bitter. I 
never had this trouble before. Could you 
explain the reason for it? B. G. 
Bitter cream and butter may result 
from one of several causes.. (1) Feed 
which contains certain weeds and highly 
flavored plants will impart bad flavors 
and odors. (2) Some cows give bitter 
milk as they approach the end of their 
milking periods. (2) Bitter flavor more 
commonly results from holding cream too 
long a time at low temperatures before 
churning. It may develop in the starter 
used for ripening the cream. It also 
comes from the action of bacteria which 
are brushed from the cow’s udder at milk¬ 
ing time. The following remedies are 
recommended : 
1. Cream should not be held at well- 
water temperature more than two days. 
2. Set the starter with a small amount 
of mother starter at 70° F., rather than 
a large amount at 55°. 
3. Milk clean cows into clean pails; in 
clean stables; by clean hands. 
Angora Goats as Brush Killers 
My sole purpose in putting on goats 
was to clean up brush land, rough land 
and old stone hedge rows being adjacent 
to orchards, in order to dispose of the 
harboring place of rodents, insects and 
fungi. I have fenced both sides of the 
hedge rows, leaving an ample margin so 
there could be no question of the goats 
making a complete clean up of these old 
hedge rows, and it is astonishing what 
they have already accomplished in one 
year. It was difficult to locate these 
goats in the East. The flock now consists 
of fifteen. 
My next move was to secure fencing 
material. The posts I cut in the brush 
and woods, using principally young apple 
and elm. I realize these posts are but 
temporary, but the fencing I purchased 
is permanent, as thrs will be necessary 
about the orchard later. I sharpened and 
drove the posts in the early Spring, spac¬ 
ing them about 15 ft. The fencing I 
secured at 40^0 per rod. This fence con¬ 
tains graduated spacing of nine wires 47 
in. high with the cross wires spaced 12 in. 
I first made the error of having the cross 
wires spaced 24 in. The young goats 
quickly found their way through, but not 
so with the former. I find this fence per¬ 
fectly adequate and it is stronger than 
there is any necessity, I had in mind the 
future use of the fencing, therefore I 
selected the heaviest wire for durability. 
It is absolutely imperative that the fence 
be suitable, for as the proverbial small 
boy, the goats are quick to discover the 
advantages of the other side, but even 
then remain close to the band. 
The goats are brought to the barn De¬ 
cember 15 and kept until about April 1, 
and fed entirely on hay until about kid¬ 
ding time, when we add some bran. They 
are sheared before turning out and dipped 
once. I recommend dipping twice, a few 
days apart. In fact their care is very 
similar to sheep. 
The goats should be turned out as early 
in the Spring as weather permits, so they 
can feed on the brush and bark as the sap 
is circulating. They need this feed and 
will do great execution on the brush and 
young trees. They will browse the buds 
as fast as they develop. They consume 
weeds as fast as they appear in the Spring 
and throughout the Summer, and after 
the foliage is gone in the Fall they revert 
again to the bark and young shoots, strip¬ 
ping the bark far as they can reach on 
hind legs. 
They are exceedingly intelligent, quiet, 
almost devoid of any odor, need salt fre¬ 
quently, and much to my disappointment 
refuse tin cans, old sacks, garments, paper 
and such. This may be accepted as a 
further mark of their intelligence! 
They stand up full height on their hind 
legs and bear their weight on brush, and 
frequently break it with their month and 
horns so as to make the tops accessible. 
They are quick to learn and can dis¬ 
tinguish between friend or foe. I find 
they are not troubled by dogs as are sheep, 
as both males and females have horns. 
The adults take salt and feed from my 
hand. I recommend a small rough shack 
or lean-to in a corner of the fence or 
elsewhere in the field where the goats may 
find shelter during the early Spring and 
late fall, as well as Summer storms. 
Nou) is the time to look over 
your machinery and order re¬ 
pairs. When you buy repairs 
for Osborne Binders, Reapers, 
Mowers or Rakes insist on gen¬ 
uine parts made by the manu¬ 
facturer of Osborne machines. 
Genuine E-B Osborne repairs 
cost no more than bogus re¬ 
pairs but give you better re¬ 
sults. Every E-B Osborne 
repair is an exact duplicate of 
the original and will always fit. 
Look for theE-B trademark on 
every Osborne repair,then you 
know it is genuine. 
If your dealer cannot supply you, 
write us—do not accept any but 
genuine E-B Osborne repairs.
