Calf Work in New Jersey 
One big essential feature in calf club 
work is that the boys and girls secure the 
very best possible calves. Through Mr. 
Wm. Nulton, Field Secretary New Jersey 
Guernsey Breeders’ Association, our boys 
and girls in New Jersey are assured that 
they get nothing but the best. 
Last year 125 calf club calves were 
raised in New Jersey. Most of them were 
Holsteins and a few were Guernseys. This 
year finds a big increase in Guernseys. 
We now have a Guernsey field man. Last 
year it was well nigh impossible to get 
really good Guernsey heifers at a price 
the boys and girls could afford to pay. 
This year, through the efforts of Mr. Nul¬ 
ton, nearly every good breeder in New 
Jersey is offering from one to half a 
dozen of their best heifers to be used in 
calf clubs. 
This is just one of the many good pro- 
Trouble With Goat's Milk 
My goat’s milk gets very thick, so it is 
not fit to be used. I give her oats, bran, 
bread, hay and grass. When the weather 
is dry I put her out for the grass. She 
looks well. m. t. K. 
Long Island. 
If your goat is perfectly healthy, I be¬ 
lieve your trouble is due to bacteria. In 
milking goate, as well as cows, only clean 
methods and clean, sterile uteusils will 
insure against a high number of bacteria 
getting into the milk. Immediate cool¬ 
ing of the milk to a temperature below 
50 degrees F. is also imperative to delay 
souring. I should recommend the fol¬ 
lowing methods in milking: 
1. See that the goat’s bo'dy is clean at 
milking time. Especially make sure that 
the teats and udder are clean. This may 
necessitate using a damp cloth or even 
washing the udder before milking. 
2. Milk with clean, dry hands, into 
Charles Putney Mitchell, New Brunswick, N. J., and his purebred Guernsey 
heifer, “Meadowbrook Phyllis,” the first Guernsey calf club heifer in Middlesex 
County. She is sired by Langwater Raider 39137 and was purchased from It. V. 
Lindabury, Meadowbrook Farm. 
jects that a field man can accomplish. 
The accompanying photograph shows 
Charles Putney Mitchell with the first 
Guernsey calf club in Middlesex Co., N. 
J. The boy and the calf are both 
typical New Jersey products. The calf 
is sired by Langwater Raider 39137, 
and out of Leda’s Favorite, giving the 
calf a combination of May Rose and 
Glen wood breeding which is hard to beat. 
She was purchased from R. V. Linda¬ 
bury, Bernardsville, N. J., one of the old¬ 
est aud best Guernsey herds in New Jer¬ 
sey. 
Mr. Lindabury has also enabled us to 
start Miss Virginia Fawcett, Trenton, N. 
J., and Mies Georgia Louise Hadley, New 
Brunswick, N. J.. on the road to success 
through the purchase of a fine Guernsey 
heifer calf by each girl from the Meadow¬ 
brook herd. M. h. keeney. 
Cleaning Separator 
Is there any satisfactory sanitary way 
to clean a cream eeparator, without tak- 
it down and apart? Ours is rinsed in 
cold water, washed in hot suds and scald¬ 
ed in boiling water. Is there a simpler 
process ? a. n. k. 
Texas. 
You are handling your separator in the 
best possible way to keep it clean without 
taking it apart. The best way, of course, 
to make sure all the parts are clean and 
sterilized is to take the separator apart 
aud thoroughly wash and steam each 
part. The steps you take are in logical 
order, and I can give you no simpler pro¬ 
cedure. We do not recommend this meth¬ 
od as being the best. We prefer the wash¬ 
ing of each part separately. Even in 
your case, I should take the machine 
apart two or three times each week. 
Otherwise you may find that your cream 
will “go off flavor,” especially in hot 
weather, J. w. b. 
clean and well-sterilized utensils. This 
will require the boiling of all pails, etc., 
in water for 10 minutes after washing. 
3. Cool the milk with ice, if possible, 
to as cold a temperature as you can get. 
Cool immediately after milking and keep 
the milk cold. J. w. b. 
Sprays for Killing Flies 
Every day we have calls for some sort 
of spray which will keep flies away from 
cattle. The following is suggested by 
the New Jersey Experiment Station: 
The common cattle flies wdiich gather 
on the backs of cows and annoy them so 
that milk production is decreased, can be 
eliminated by a homemade spray mixture 
that costs only one cent a day for each ’ 
cow. 
A spray mixture recommended by J. 
W. Bartlett, professor of dairy husbandry 
at the College of Agriculture at New 
Brunswick, consists of the following in¬ 
gredients : 4^4 qts. coal tar dip, 4% qts. 
fish oil, 3 qts. coaloil, 3 qts. whale oil, 
114 qts. oil of tar, 3 lbs. laundry soap. 
Dissolve the soap in water and add the 
other ingredients. Mix the combination 
thoroughly and bring the whole up to 30 
gallons by adding lukewarm water. 
This spray will not injure the coats of 
the animals. It is well to spray twice 
daily; once in the morning after milk¬ 
ing, and again in the afternoon. Thirty 
gallons will spray 40 cows for 10 days at 
a cost of lc per cow per day. 
A Busy Hen 
I note the excellent record made by Guy 
R. Young’s Wyandotte pullet as reported 
in your issue of May 31, but I have one 
that I believe surpasses it. Pullet No. 3, 
S. C. Rhode Island White, in my pen in 
the Eleventh International Contest con¬ 
ducted by the Philadelphia North Amer¬ 
ican for the year 1921-22, laid 72 eggs in 
72 consecutive days. She then missed 
one day and laid 20 more, or 92 eggs in 
93 days. She then missed another day 
and then laid six eggs, for a record of 98 
eggs in 100 days. o. G. l. lewis.
