^Here's one sign 
that thousands of 
dairymen believe in 
'C'XPERIENCE la a great teacher. If you 
doubt your* ability to materially add to 
your* cows’ milk production, why not prove 
it for* yourself by an actual trial? 
The winter months, with the long period of 
dry feeding, are a severe strain on the cow’s 
digestion and assimilation. To get from the 
feed ALL the milk-value these organs must be 
even more vigorous than when green pastur¬ 
age Is available. 
Kow-Kare is a medicinal invigorator that 
acts directly on the milk-making organs. Even 
if your cows are, apparently, healthy, a table¬ 
spoonful of Kow-Kare twice a day, one week 
out of each month will surprisingly increase 
the milk-flow. 
For the actual treatment of such cow dis¬ 
eases as Barrenness, Abortion, Retained After¬ 
birth, Scours, Garget, Milk Fever, Lost Appe¬ 
tite, etc., the value oi Kow-Kare is undisputed. 
Its success lies in its invigorating action on 
the digestive and genital organs — ihe seat of 
nearly all cow disorders 
Prove the value of 
Kow-Kare thiswinter.

eral store or druggist

packages. Order di¬

Cream Will Not Whip 
Why is it that cream from our Jersey 
cow will not whip? Even the same day’s 
cream will go to butter. Can it be made 
to whip? w. A. M. 
When cream turns readily into butter 
upon being whipped, it is a pretty sure 
sign that the temperature is too high. The 
colder the cream is the better for whip¬ 
ping. Butter churns at temperatures 
above 50 degrees Fahr., therefore, it is 
important that for whipping the tempera¬ 
ture should be below 50 degrees and bet¬ 
ter near 40 degrees Fahr. 
For whipping, cream must be fairly 
rich, from 25 to 38 per cent and it must 
be cold, 50 degrees Fahr. or lower. The 
cream dish and whipping appliance must 
be cooled long enough in advance to 
bring all to a temperature of 50 degrees 
Fahr. or lower. Fresh, sweet cream does 
not whip as readily as that which has 
been aged for 12 to 24 hours at 50 degrees 
Fahr. or lower. This matter of aging 
is very important, and if you can hold 
your cream in the refrigerator it shouid 
not sour. Some people add sugar and 
flavoring before starting to Avhip the 
cream. This is not a good practice, as 
it reduces the swell or whipping quality.

Destroying Lice on Hens 
I have 1,000 hens which have become 
very lousy, the insect being a long thin 
insect, slightly red, presumably from 
blood. My usual method of treating lice 
seems less effective than it has previously 
been ; that method being the smudging of 
the house and hens with smoke of tobac¬ 
co stems. I would like your advice as to 
any better method of ridding the flock of 
this pest, considering the large number of 
fowls, which practically eliminates the 
dipping and drying process. w. E. A. 
New York. 
I know of no simple, easy method of 
ridding a large flock of body lice; smudg¬ 
ing them with tobacco smoke is probably 
disagreeable to the more effeminate of 
them, but it is also irritating to the finer 
instincts of their hostesses, who are not 
protected from it by a heavy screen of 
feathers. Some of the gases used with 
such horrible effect in the late war would 
probably kill the lice, if the flock coukl 
be protected by gas masks; since that is 
wholly impracticable, however, I would 
That building artisans of many different kinds are buying more and more of a very 
important farm product is shown by the photograph. The empty milk bottles stand¬ 
ing on the ledge were picked up after a single noonday lunch of the workers on a 
masonry job. They were picked up at random, and show six quarts to three pints. 
Only a short time ago, builders say, the workers seldom bought more than a pint, and 
before that nothing but 'beer bottles were found lying on the grounds. Where once 
beer wagons followed the trail of working jobs throughout a city, only the milk 
wagons are now seen on the track, and now they are selling quarts where at first they 
sold pints. The day before this picture was made the milkman came along with a big 
truck gathering up* the empties. He had a half load from this same job. where 12 
new stores are being built. It was easy to make out that the quart size was greatly 
in the majority. This is a regular and much-looked-after feature of the milk dis¬ 
tributing business in cities, towns and villages. j.l. graff.

It is better to whip the raw cream first 
and add the sugar, etc., afterwards. It 
is also well known that raw cream whips 
better than pasteurized cream. There is 
nothing that can be added to whipping 
cream to make it whip well. Age, rich¬ 
ness and coolness are the all important 
factors. J. w. b. 
Feeding Mangels; Use of 
Lights 
1. How many pounds of mangel beets 
should be fed at noon to a flock of 1.000 
White Leghorns? This is for Winter 
use, to be ground in small pieces and 
enough mash added to take up the mois¬ 
ture. 2. How should electric lights be 
used in the Winter? At what time of 
the year should we commence using it, 
and what hours? These hens are not 
used for breeding. 3. Could you recom¬ 
mend me to someone who culls chickens 
somewhat nearby as I have about 1,000 
I would like culled, and do not trust my¬ 
self to that job. o. w. n. 
suggest individual treatment of the liens 
by applying a bit of blue ointment about 
the size of a grain of corn to the skin just 
beneath the vent, and also beneath each 
wing. If you prefer to use a powder, a 
few pinches of sodium fluoride may be 
worked down into the feathers over a few 
spots upon the fowl’s body. This is the 
active ingredient of various commercial 
lice powders. Either method is guaran¬ 
teed to rid the fowls of body lice for 
months. I don’t stand behind the guar¬ 
antee. but can assure you that there is 
ample authority for pronouncing these in¬ 
secticides the best and most practicable 
for the use to which you wish to put 
one. M. b. d.

1. Don’t feed beets in that way ; extra 
labor and no added value. Give at noon 
what the fowls will readily clean up be¬ 
fore night. A ton of beets ought to feed 
1,000 fowls for a year. 
2. Lights may be used in three ways, 
beginning when the days are becoming 
short in the late Fall, about November 
1. Feed the fowls as usual, but turn on 
lights at about eight o’clock in the eve¬ 
ning so that the hens may come from 
their perches and eat an “evening lunch” 
of hard grain that has been placed in 
troughs or otherwise made quickly avail¬ 
able to them. The “evening lunch sys¬ 
tem,” or turn on the lights just before 
the fowls go to roost and keep them up, 
feeding at about eight o’clock, as before, 
then gradually turning out the lights so 
that the birds can find their perches. Or, 
put the grain into the litter after dark 
and turn on the lights at about four 
o’clock in the morning, leaving them on 
until daylight. The idea of using lights 
is simply to make the Fall and Winter 
days of about the same length as the 
nights, or to give a 13-hour day. It does 
not matter so much which end of the day 
is artificially lighted, if the long morning 
fast, with empty crops, is done away 
with. I think, however, that the morn¬ 
ing lighting is coming to be the preferred 
plan.

Eggs! 
You can get them—from any

Pratts poultry regulator is a

It supplies rare elements that 
hens do not get in even the best 
feeds. Rare seeds, herbs, roots 
—foreign grown — that make 
yolks, whites, shells. Some re¬ 
port double the number of eggs 
this way; fifty per cent increase 
is common !
