Just the Right Suction 
New Separator 
—Lower Price 
A COW that gives down 
her milk easily requires 
less suction in the teat-cup 
than a hard milker. Also, a 
cowrequires less suction dur¬ 
ing the middle of the milking 
than toward the end of the 
milking. To give just the 
right suction to each cow at 
each period in the milking is 
the ideal attainment of 
the Burrell Milker. It is just 
such accomplishments as 
this that make the Burrell a 
practically perfect milking 
machine. 
Just the right suction in the 
Burrell Milker is the result 
of the Automatic Controller, 
illustrated above. It controls 
the exact degree to which air 
is exhausted from the teat- 
cup — the exact extent to 
which vacuum, or suction, 
is applied to the teat. When 
milk is flowing freely, suction 
is automatically decreased. 
When milk is flowing less 
freely, suction is automatic¬ 
ally increased. 
For correct milking, your 
cows need a Burrell Milker. 
For more profit, your busi¬ 
ness needs a Burrell Milker. 
For pleasanter work, you 
need a Burrell Milker. 
Tliis new Bur- 
rell Cream 
Separator is as 
good as the 
best Burrell 
ever built, and 
sells at a much 
lower price. 
Simplification 
of design and 
increase in 
production 
have lowered 
the cost. The quality is Burrell 
Quality —and that’s the most 
you can say of the quality of 
any piece of dairy equipment.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Meaning of Thoroughbred 
For the second time after a lapse of 
some years I am writing to you on the 
matter of using the word “thorough¬ 
bred.” The first time that I wrote, I ad¬ 
dressed my letter to the paper, but now 
I am addressing it to you, in the hope 
that you will do something about it. 
On" page 1275 there is an article in 
which the wrong use of the word appears, 
and this same article uses another word 
that is better and is more appropriate. 
Even if the other man (in the article) 
used the wrong word, it seems to me that 
you should not use it as a title. 
This is not the first offence after the 
first time that I wrote to you,, and I 
think is high time that you refrain from 
using the word “thoroughbred” unless it 
be in connection with the breed of horses. 
Your for fairness to the English race 
horse. w. v. del solas. 
We want to be as fair to the English 
race horse as we are to Englishmen—or 
any other men. But let us also be fair 
to the English language. The latest Web¬ 
ster’s Dictionary contains the following 
definition : 
Thorough-bred—(1) Bred from the 
best blood through a long line; pure- 
blooded ; said of animals. 
(2) Having the characteristics of such 
breeding; high-spirited; of elegant form, 
carriage, or the like; (Colloq.) having 
the characteristics of people of good 
birth and breeding. 
(3) Thorough-going; complete. 
Thorough-bred—(1) A thorough-bred 
animal, especially a horse. The English 
thoroughbred is of a race or breed of 
houses kept chiefly, for racing (running) 
with an old recorded ancestry of un¬ 
known origin, probably Oriental or from 
crosses of barb. Arabian, and Turkish 
blood. The American thoroughbred is 
from it and practically identical. 
(2) A thoroughbred person. (Colloq.) 
Thus we see that the word is permitted 
in speaking of well-bred animals of what¬ 
ever breed or race. It might even be 
used, we presume, in speaking of a mule ! 
We formerly followed the rule of using 
the word only when referring to the rac¬ 
ing horse. Language grows, however, 
and it would seem that the meaning of 
“thoroughbred” has broadened with use, 
and if one is to be a thoroughbred in the 
handling of words he must be as 1 broad 
as the dictionary. 
Wool Stocks 
In 1914, before the World War began, 
there was a world wool stock of over 
3,000,000,000 lbs. Considerable cotton 
and shoddy were used in woolens, and 
since they were worn principally in civil¬ 
ization, the wool of the world had accu¬ 
mulated to that amount. During the war 
manufacturing speeded up, while the 
English and American governments grab¬ 
bed all available stocks, and at the sign¬ 
ing of the armistice the first had over a 
billion pounds on hand, and we had about 
half that amount. Together they had it 
all, and the sheep of the world were re¬ 
duced one-fifth. 
Not to injure the hard-put wool grow¬ 
ers in its colonies, from which it had con¬ 
scripted the wool, England fed its stocks 
out slowly, and only cleaned up last 
•Spring, while America followed a similar 
plan, but got its holdings sold two years 
ago. Other nations that had enough to 
do without manufacturing, and that had 
a hard time getting wool those days, have 
since got rigged up, and are in the mar¬ 
ket for wool. Then Japan, with a long- 
seeing eye, that formerly cut no figure in 
the wool market, has become an active 
competitor for Australian fleeces, and is 
pushing a trade in woolens all over terri¬ 
tory that knew little or nothing about 
them. 
Low in price as wool was in the past, 
woolen rags and cotton were cheaper as 
substitutes, and the short sheep flocks of 
the world got ahead with that 3,000,000,- 
000 lbs., but the demands of a half-clad 
world and the new weavers not only 
caught up with the stocks, but have taken 
the rags also. All those worn and mu¬ 
tilated uniforms must be in cloth, clothes, 
or worn away before this. At any rate, 
a slow-going manufacturing and business 
world has a strenuou^demand for wool, 
and it is advancing until the price now is 
higher in proportion than any other pro¬ 
duct of the farms or plains. 
Wool is live property anywhere in the 
world now. It will not be ready to mar¬ 
ket for six months in our own great 
West, and buyers have been contracting
