The Perfect Teat Cup 
The Separator 
You’ve Wanted 
T HE perfect teat cup —that’s a pretty strong claim. 
But, practically, you cannot say less of the Burrell 
Air-Cushion Teat Cup. It was perfected in 1910, 
and, after 14 years, it still stands unequalled in satisfac¬ 
tory performance. Its perfection is generally recognized. 
First, it is almost universal in its adaptability to different 
sizes and shapes of teats. Second, it is free from danger¬ 
ous rubber linings. Third, it is made of nickel silver — 
simple, sanitary, light, strong. Fourth—and extremely 
important—it is comfortable to the teat. The sum of 
which means that the Burrell Air-Cushion Teat Cup is 
the perfect Teat Cup. Your own opinion will confirm this. 
Observe the illustration above. In the upper part of the 
cup you will see an air space, or reservoir. When the 
vacuum suck is applied, the air is pulled down and forms 
a pad, or cushion, between the teat and cup. Then 
between the periods of suction, air rushes back into the 
air space, or reservoir, and gives complete relief to the teat. 
The Burrell Air'Cushion Teat Cup is one of four features 
•which should determine your purchase of a Burrell Milker.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Sore on Teat; Shrink in 
Milk 
1. My cow was born with pimple on 
one of her teats, and not knowing about 
that, the skin was pulled off the teat 
while ^ milking. Could you recommend 
anything for that? 2. She is going to 
have a calf in January, and all of a sud¬ 
den she gives only five quarts of milk a 
day, and before she gave 16 quarts. We 
are feeding her silage, beet pulp and 
mixed feed ; no hay. I think it is too 
early to quit milking. She is three years 
old. Could you do something for me 
about that? M B 
Massachusetts. 
1. W e have found from long experience 
with cows that, whenever any .sort of sore 
starts on a teat the best possible treat¬ 
ment, at the outset, is to immerse the teat 
for five or 10 minutes, night and morning, 
in hot water, as hot as the hand can bear, 
containing all the boric acid it will dis¬ 
solve ; or use a l-to-100 solution of chino- 
sol. The hot water soothes the part, 
stimulates an increased flow of blood, 
which carries off morbid matters and 
brings in those which repair diseased or 
injured tissues. The boric acid and chino- 
sol kill germs and prevent the formation 
of germs, and therefore have a healing 
influence. Following the immersion, gen¬ 
tly dry the part, paint it once with tinc¬ 
ture of iodine and afterward apply twice 
daily a mixture of one part of balsam of 
Peru and three parts of glycerin. If that 
does not give the desired result, substi¬ 
tute a soft paste of bismuth subnitrate and 
castor oil. In old-standing or chronic 
cases, when the sore has become ulcerous 
and affects deep-lying tissues, it had bet¬ 
ter be lightly cauterized with a nitrate of 
silver (lunar caustic) pencil, instead of 
applying tincture of iodine, and after¬ 
ward may be treated with the balsam- 
glycerin mixture, already prescribed. If 
that does not soon prove remedial, substi¬ 
tute a mixture of one part of tinettire of 
iodine and three parts of compound tinc¬ 
ture of benzoin, to be applied two or 
three times daily. Keep the cow from 
soiling the udder and teats on dirty floors 
or in filth or mud in a yard or pasture. 
Cleanse the udder and teats before each 
milking, and milk with clean, dry hands. 
If a sore at the tip of a teat tends to 
close between milkings, insert a new, 
clean clove, smeared with carbolized vas¬ 
eline, after each milking, or put in a 
piece of thick carbolized catgut. 
2. It Is absolutely necessary to feed a 
cow generously with a good legume hay 
in addition to feeding silage or roots and 
a meal mixture. We should therefore ad¬ 
vise you to buy Alfalfa or clover hay for 
the cow, and of it allow 10 lbs. daily, 
along with 30 to 35 lbs. of silage and 1 lb. 
of concentrate for each 3 to 4 lbs. of milk 
yielded daily. Milk three times daily, 
and massage the udder gently each time. 
A suitable meal mixture would be 100 lbs. 
each of ground barley, ground oats and 
wheat bran. If you cannot feed a legume 
hay, then add 50 lbs. of flaxseed meal to 
the other meals. Allow access to salt, 
and provide plenty of pure drinking wa¬ 
ter. 
Hog Cholera 
I have lost five pigs and five more are 
sick. They get stiff, then struggle, cough 
and have diarrhoea. Then ears and nose 
turn purple. I opened one and the blood 
turned black. There' were ulcers on the 
intestines and the liver was not right. 
Their hind legs seem to be weak. c. C. 
New York. 
You seem to have furnished a correct 
description of the typical lesions of hog 
cholera, but hemorrhagic septicemia or 
swine plague, and necrotic enteritis pres¬ 
ent somewhat similar symptoms. That 
being the case you should have had a 
qualified veterinarian make the post¬ 
mortem examination and he might also 
have had to send tissues from the carcass 
to the veterinary department of the 
State Agricultural Experiment Station 
for laboratory examination and tests. If 
other pigs are sick at the present time 
one of them that is about to die should 
be slaughtered and so examined and the 
tissues forwarded to the experts. Mean¬ 
while unaffected hogs should be moved 
into new quarters, on grass not previous-
