NEW 
De Laval 
But it is Equal to — 
6% interest on 2^ 
A user of an old cream separator, which 
apparently working all right, tried a new De Laval. 
Much to his surprise the new De Laval gave him a cupful of cream 
more at each separation. He figured he h ad been losing 15c worth 
of butter-fat a day, amounting to $54.75 in a year—and equal to 
6% interest on $912.00. Needless to say the De Laval stayed. 
Noristhisan unusual case, as the same thing, and often greater 
loss, is occurring on thousands of farms. 
Improved De Laval— 
World’s Best Separator 
The new De Laval is the best cream separator ever 
made skims cleaner, runs easier and lasts longer. 
Among other new features and refinements it has a 
self-centering bowl which eliminates vibration, causing 
it to run smoother and easier. It gives you a rich, 
smooth, high-testing cream, and skims cleaner under 
all conditions of use. 
The De Laval Milker. If you milk ten or more cows 
Sr ^ va Milker will soon pay for itself. More than 
2u,000 in use, giving wonderful satisfaction.

Abortion Disease 
We have been looking for information 
about contagious abortion. I have read 
about the hypodermic treatment being 
very reliable. Can you tell me bow this 
is used, and if it can be done by anyone 
except a skilled veterinarian? I would 
appreciate it very much if you can give 
me any information to eradicate the dis¬ 
ease. a. R. 
It is quite true that hypodermic treat¬ 
ment of unaffected cows with a vaccine 
containing live germs of the contagious 
abortion disease confers a fair degree of 
immunity from that malady, but no agri¬ 
cultural experiment station as yet recom¬ 
mends the treatment for general adoption, 
nor is it so recommended by the United 
States Department of Agriculture, Wash¬ 
ington, D. C. The reason for this is that 
the vaccine causes the disease in the 
cows and heifers treated and that confers 
the immunity, so that abortion may not 
occur, but does not eliminate the infec¬ 
tion and, indeed, may perpetuate it in a 
herd and in the buildings 
Such vaccination is in vogue abroad, 
where herds are badly affected with the 
disease, and has been applied in this 
country, but mostly in an experimental 
way, or where the qualified veterinarian 
in attendance has deemed it advisable and 
has obtained the consent of the owner of 
the cows, after explaining the matter, as 
has been done here. We cannot, there¬ 
fore, advise you to have your heifers and 
clean cows vaccinated with abortion vac¬ 
cine containing live germs which cause 
the disease. Particulars on this subject 
may be studied in bulletins on abortion 
which may be obtained from the United 
States Department of Agriculture, Wash¬ 
ington. D. C., and some of the State agri¬ 
cultural experiment stations, notably 
those of Wisconsin, at Madison, and Mis¬ 
souri. at Columbia. 
These bulletins should be sent for and 
carefully read. In them you will find, 
also, that no plan of immunization with 
bacterins, containing dead germs, or se¬ 
rum free from germs, but containing their 
products, or any biologic, is recommended 
as effective or satisfactory. Such biolog¬ 
ies, however, do not cause or prepetnate 
the disease or infection, hut unfortunate¬ 
ly they do not cure or prevent the disease. 
It is a well-known fact that cows tend 
to become immune to the disease after 
aborting a few times, and then carry 
calves the full time. When a biologic is 
used in an affected herd itis given the 
credit of “curing” these cases, or pre¬ 
venting the cows from aborting, but the 
credit is not deserved. The recoveries 
are spontaneous or incidental and not 
caused by the biologic. The disease may, 
however, be got rid of in time by carry¬ 
ing into effect the plan of control advised 
in the bulletins we have mentioned and 
carried out under the direction of a qual¬ 
ified veterinarian. A. s. A. 
Future of Poultry Keeping 
Will your poultry experts advise me 
on following matter? I am thinking of 
starting a poultry farm devoted to White 
Rocks instead of the Leghorns. I think 
the lighter breeds are losing ground very 
quickly to the American breeds. I am 
an experienced poultryman, and think 
in time to come the West and South will 
produce a flood of Deghorns. The money 
will be in the larger bird on a large free 
range farm. You will have a good de¬ 
mand for hatching eggs, baby chicks and 
breeding stock, with no competition to 
sneak of. The egg-laying contests have 
proven the laying qualities of the heavy 
birds, and then again look what fine 
broilers, roasters, and capons you can 
raise. Lastly, the old hen fattened up 
would be very salable. What is your 
opinion of my plan? WM. dester. 
We shall be glad to have the opinion 
of poultrymen on this point. It would 
indeed be a wise and fortunate man who 
could look into the future and judge ac¬ 
curately what is to follow. It is not 
likely that the demand for white eggs in 
New York and other markets will change 
greatly. While the South may increase 
its stock of Leghorns as commercial 
poultry-keeping gains there we should 
think the West more likely to increase 
its stock of the heavier breeds. Then 
we must remember that the habits and 
temperament of the man will have much 
to do with the sort of stock he can suc¬ 
ceed with. It takes a natural Leghorn 
man to succeed with a nervous, active 
breed. A man of slower, more even tem¬ 
per will suit the heavier breeds. It is a 
good question, and we would like to have 
it discussed.
