20,000 De Laval Milkers 
Now used in the U. S. A., Hawaiian Islands, Canada, 
Cuba, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Holland, 
France, England, South Africa, India, New Zealand, 
Australia and Japan. 
The progress which the De Laval 
Milker has made during the last 
three years is truly remarkable. 
In the face of extremely adverse 
conditions, financial and otherwise, 
it has gone ahead, winning thou¬ 
sands of new users and friends, 
not only in the United States and 
Canada but throughout the world. 
These facts prove two very impor¬ 
tant points: 
(1) That the De Laval Milker 
is the only milking machine sold 
and used on a world-wide basis 
proves that it is recognized by 
the leading dairymen of the 
world as “The Better Way of 
Milking.” 
(2) That most of these milkers 
were sold during the worst fi¬ 
nancial depression of recent 
years, when only such equipment 
as would actually pay for itself 
in a short time was purchased, 
proves that it is a paying invest¬ 
ment. 
The De Laval Has Made Good 
milk cows better than can be done 
by any other method, as proved 
by the fact that cows almost in¬ 
variably increase their milk pro¬ 
duction when milked with a De 
Laval. A number of world’s rec¬ 
ords have been made by De Laval- 
milked cows. The De Laval is 
simple in construction, durable, and 
easy to operate. And finally, 
cleaner milk of higher quality can 
be produced with it, as it is easy 
to keep in a clean and sanitary 
condition. 
The Best Investment You Can Make 
Thousands of users claim the 
purchase of their De Laval Milker 
was the best investment they ever 
made. You will say the same af¬ 
ter you have used one. Even 
though you haven’t enough cash to 
pay for a De Laval outright, a 
small payment will put one to 
work for you; and the saving in 
hired help and the extra milk pro¬ 
duced will more than pay the rest. 
There is no longer any question 
but what the De Laval Milker is 
“The Better Way of Milking.” It 
eliminates a great deal of hard, 
disagreeable labor. It enables one 
man to milk at least twice as many 
cows as he can by hand. It will

Use Carbola, the Disinfecting White 
Paint, in dairy barns, horse stables, 
poultry houses, hog pens — in every 
building where live stock is kept. Put 
it on the interiors of creameries, cel¬ 
lars and garages. Use it on garden 
plants. Apply it to trees. 
Carbola is a white paint and a pow¬ 
erful disinfectant combined in powder 
form. Just mix it with water and it’s 
ready to be applied to wood, brick, 
stone, cement or over whitewash. It 
dries white and will not flake or peel 
off. Does not spoil if left standing— 
once mixed, always ready to use. 
Carbola will increase the light in 
your buildings, improve their appear¬ 
ance and make them more sanitary. It 
will help to prevent the start and 
spread of contagious diseases among 
your animals, and to keep your stock 
free from lice, mites and other para¬ 
sites. The dry Carbola makes an ex¬ 
cellent louse powder—and an equally 
effective dusting powder for fighting 
insects and worms on garden plants. 
Get Carbola from your hardware, 
feed, seed, poultry supply or drug 
dealer. He has it or can get it. If 
not, order direct. Satisfaction — 
or money back.

Experience with Cheviot Sheep 
In regard to my experience with the 
Cheviot sheep, I have been in the sheep 
industry less than four years, yet I have 
had very good luck with mine. I have 
eight breeding ewes this season. One of 
them was a late lamb and did not breed. 
The other seven had 13 lambs, and I lost 
only one, as another sheep laid down 
on it. 
The Cheviot is a very hardy sheep and 
walls or floor of the farrowing pen. As 
each pig is delivered it should be placed 
in a blanket or quilt-lined box behind the 
stove, or under bedding in the box should 
be placed some hot bricks or a hot water 
bottle or two. The temperature of the 
pig should be kept up to normal until all 
of the pigs are born ; then they may be 
put back with the sow, one by one, and 
each of them allowed to nurse. Also have 
a creep around the wall of the pen, made

an easy keeper. I put mine on pasture 
without any grain, and the lambs will 
weigh nearly 100 lbs. on an average by 
Fall. As our local price is 10 to 12c, 
live weight, these bring me in a tidy sum. 
I have poor hay, so I feed a little oats 
in Winter. Mine are always in the best 
of shape. I sheared SO lbs. wool from 
one ram and eight ewes, three of which 
were late lambs. I sold this wool at 40c 
per lb. Not so bad for sheep which are 
by putting a scantling or board around 
the wall, at a height of about 10 in. or a 
little more from the ground and well 
away from the wall so that pigs may 
shelter there and escape being laid upon 
by the sow. Cleanse the sow’s udder 
and teats before the pigs are allowed to 
nurse for the first time. When hand¬ 
feeding becomes necessary, the sow hav¬ 
ing died or having no milk, or for other 
cause such as the one you mention, it

Handfeeding a Newborn Pig 
We have a little pig that is now nearly 
four weeks old. When if was first born 
it got badly chilled and was small, and 
the others ran over it so much we had to 
keep it in the house. We tried to take it 
out so it could nurse from the mother, 
but this did not work out satisfactorily, 
so we fed it cow’s milk ; warmed it first. 
We started to feed it with a bottle until 
it was nearly a week old, then taught it 
to eat from an old cup, and it seemed to 
do all right. We were told to put sugai 
in the milk, not give it full cream or 
whole milk; then it got physiced, and 
that laxative condition still stays with 
it, so it does not grow and thrive as the 
others do. a. b.

Chilling of new-born pigs causes tre¬ 
mendous losses throughout the country, 
and these, to a large degree, might be 
avoided by better management. In the 
first place, when it is known that a sow 
is to farrow so early that the weather 
will be cold, she should be placed in a 
clean, disinfected pen in a warm place 
When pigs are to be born extra early it is 
even well to have artificial heat in (he 
stable, or at least in a room near by. 
There should be no frost seen on the 
may be done with cow’s milk. Cow’s 
milk lacks butterfat and sugar, as com¬ 
pared with sow’s milk. Cow’s milk con¬ 
tains an average of 3.7 of butterfat, 
sow’s milk 6.7 per cent. The figures for 
sugar are: Cow’s milk, 4.9, and sow’s 
milk, 5.4 per cent. It is therefore neces¬ 
sary to add fat and also a little sugar. 
A good old-fashioned plan is to put some 
bacon grease in the first milk fed to little 
pigs. Give the milk blood warm (100° 
F.) from a bottle, and sterilized rubber- 
nipple. Feed a little once an hour at 
first, and then gradually increase the 
amount and intervals between feedings. 
Sterilize all milk utensils. If a pig scours 
give it subnitrate of bismuth in raw egg. 
Start with 10-grain doses of the drug, 
and increase as required until scouring 
abates, but do not lock the bowels tightly 
by large doses at first. Give the pig in 
question a small dose of castor oil in 
milk and follow with subnitrate of bis¬ 
muth if scouring persists after the oil has 
acted. Add an ounce of limewater to 
each pint of milk fed, if it continues to 
disagree. It is right to expose the pig 
to direct sunlight.
