Recent  Guernsey  Records 
Brilliant  Lassie  86452;  senior  3-year- 
old  ;  owned  by  D.  G.  Fenny,  Salem,  N. 
II.;  13,870  lbs.  milk;  746.72  lbs.  butter- 
fat. 
Emmadine  Masherlette  109227 ;  owned 
by  V.  Everit  Maey,  Ossining,  N.  Y.; 
16,604  lbs.  milk ;  167.59  lbs.  butterfat ; 
breeder  was  Clarence  H.  Mackay.  She 
is  a  heifer  of  good  size,  weighing  1,090 
lbs.,  and  has  unusual  quality.  She  milks 
very  easily  and  persistently,  having 
milked  over  50  lbs.  daily  for  over  six 
months.  She  is  due  to  freshen  in  July, 
but  difficulty  is  being  experienced  in  dry¬ 
ing  her  off.  Her  owners  give  great 
credit  for  the  record  to  the  care  and  in¬ 
telligent  effort  of  Grant  Smith,  the  herds¬ 
man  at  Chilmark  Farm. 
Blanche  of  Sulphur  Springs,  82252, 
14,209.4  lbs.  of  milk  and  732.84  lbs.  of 
butterfat,  average  test  5.16  per  cent  for 
the  year.  Owned  by  Charles  Schmoldt, 
Sulphur  Springs  Farm,  Rosedale,  'Wis., 
who  wTas  also  her  breeder.  The  average 
of  all  records  to  date  in  this  hex’d  is 
635.85  lbs.  of  butter  fat  at  an  average 
age  of  three  years  and  10  months.  All 
mature  cows  in  this  herd,  w’ith  the  ex¬ 
ception  of  one,  have  made  Advanced  Reg¬ 
ister  records. 
Trouble  With  Cream 
Could  you  let  us  know  what  to  do 
about  our  cream?  It  will  not  separate. 
Have  tried  various  ways  and  different 
temperatures,  but  all  to  no  avail.  Cow 
had  calf  April  13.  After  saving  cream 
for  one  week  I  churned  and  got  butter, 
then  let  her  out  to  graze  in  open  and 
since  cannot  get  buttei-,  no  matter  what 
l  add,  sour  milk,  water  or  anything.  I 
just  get  more  of  a  thick,  greasy  substance, 
but  buttermilk  will  not  separate  from 
butter.  I  feed  her  mixed  feed.  H.  z. 
Add  15  per  cent  of  linseed  meal  to  the 
mixed  feed  that  you  are  now  feeding,  and 
15  per  cent  of  ground  oats.  Cool  the 
milk  more  promptly  after  it  is  drawn 
from  the  cow,  either  through  the  agency 
of  shallow  pans  or  a  small  separator.  Do 
not  carry  the  cream  more  than  two  or 
three  days  between  churnings  and  then 
bring  it  to  a  temperature  of  60  degrees. 
It  is  possible  that  the  cow  may  have  been 
milked  up  too  closely  to  calving  and  that 
it  will  take  some  time  for  her  to  produce 
milk  that  can  be  most  easily  handled.  Ii 
you  exercise  care  in  cooling  and  ripen¬ 
ing  the  cream  there  is  no  reason  why 
the  cream  cannot  be  churned  without  the 
difficulty  you  experience.  J.  w.  B. 
Cowpox 
My  cow  is  about  eight  years  old.  For 
the  past  month  I  notice  that  the  bottom 
part  of  her  udder  has  some  eruptions  simi¬ 
lar  to  pimples.  There  is  nothing  in  them, 
but  in  a  few  days  there  will  be  a  scab 
over  them.  In  some  places  they  are  so 
close  together  that  it  looks  like  a  large 
sore.  I  have  been  rubbing  lard  and  sul¬ 
phur  on  the  udder  daily  ;  this  don’t  seem 
to  help  any.  I  have  her  on  grass  for  the 
past  two  weeks  and  her  bowels  are  in 
good  condition,  feed  her  only  three  quarts 
dairy  feed  daily. 
New  York.  V- 
The  symptoms  described  are  those  of 
cowpox,  due  to  a  virus  which  cannot  be 
seen  with  the  strongest  microscope  and 
which  passes  through  a  filter  of  porcelain. 
There  is,  however,  a  false  form  of  cow-pox 
which  is  caused  by  filth  germs  carried  by 
the  milker’s  hands  or  contracted  from  a 
contaminated  floor,  ground,  muddy  or 
dirty  place  or  by  standing  in  stagnant 
water.  In  the  latter  disease  the  sores 
are  large  and  very  difficult  to  heal,  as  the 
centers  become  necrosed  and  slough  out, 
forming  obstinate  ulcers.  In  true  cowpox 
the  pustules  or  papules  have  concave  tops 
and  the  lymph  is  contained  in  several 
compartments  so  that  one  puncture  does 
not  liberate  all  of  the  fluid.  Cowpox 
breaks  out  at  the  base  of  a  teat  and 
spreads  downward.  Successive  crops  of 
pustules  appear  and  the  disease  therefore 
may  last  for  several  weeks.  As  a  rule, 
however,  a  well  treated  case  should  re¬ 
cover  in  20  days,  or  thereabout.  Isolate 
the  affected  cows  and  have  them  milked 
by  one  who  does  not  attend  to  the  other 
cows,  if  that  can  be  managed,  or  at  least 
milk  them  last.  Infection  is  readily  car¬ 
ried  from  cow  to  cow  by  the  milker’s 
hands.  Two  or  three  times  daily  be"' 
the  udder  with  hot  water  containing  all 
the  boric  acid  it  will  dissolve,  or  with  a 
hot  one-to-1,000  solution  of  chinosol.  It 
is  a  good  plan  to  immerse  the  teats  for 
five  minutes  night  and  morning  in  one 
or  other  of  the  solutions  mentioned.  Then 
dry  the  teats  gently  and  apply  a  soft  paste 
of  subnitrate  of  bismuth  and  castor  oil, 
or  a  mixture  of  one  part  of  compound 
tincture  of  benzoin  and  three  parts  of 
glycerine.  If  any  sore  proves  obstinate 
in  healing  apply  strong  iodine  ointment 
once  or  twice  daily.  If  milking  tubes 
have  to  be  used  to  draw  off  the  milk  while 
the  teats  are  inflamed  be  careful  to 
cleanse  them  perfectly  and  then  boil  them 
for  15  minutes  each  time  before  use  or 
they  will  be  about  sure  to  carry  germs 
into  the  teats  and  set  up  ruinous  mam- 
mitis  (garget).  When  the  false  form  of 
cowpox  is  present  scrape  each  sore  clean 
swab  it  with  tincture  of  iodine  once  or 
twice  and  then  paint  it  with  a  mixture 
of  one  part  of  balsam  of  Peru  and  three 
pai’ts  of  alcohol.  Camphor-phenique  is 
also  an  excellent  application  for  sores  on 
the  teats  that  are  difficult  to  heal.  Cleanse 
disinfect  and  whitewash  the  stable,  as  the 
disease  is  infectious. 
A  Woman  and  Her  Cows 
I  had  to  sell  my  cows,  as  my  tenant 
was  going  to  leave,  and  I  could  not  find 
another;  neither  could  I  find  a  buyer  for 
the  farm,  which  I  wished  to  sell  with  the 
stock  and  everything  on  it.  A  cattle 
buyer  came  here  and  offei-ed  me  $400  for 
11  new  milkers,  which  is  less  than  $37  a 
head.  I  knew  they  were  worth  more 
money,  but  was  excited  and  did  not  know 
what  to  do.  I  had  to  decide  some  way, 
and  I  said  “I  guess  I  will  have  to  let  you 
have  them.”  8o  he  took  them  and  I  hear 
he  sold  them  for  $100  a  head.  I  should 
have  had  at  least  $70  a  head.  Because  I 
was  a  woman  and  had  to  get  rid  of  my 
cows  he  saw  the  chance  to  beat  me,  and 
he  took  advantage  of  it.  Of  course  he 
pretended  to  me  that  the  cows  were  not 
much  good  and  he  did  not  want  them 
anyway.  We  have  always  had  good  cows, 
and  I  am  sure  they  were  better  than  he 
usually  gets.  Do  you  think  there  is  a 
chance  to  make  him  settle,  or  could  you 
do  anything  about  it?  MRS.  M. 
This  case  is  typical  of  many  others 
which  are  brought  to  us.  It  is,  no  doubt, 
true  that  in  some  cases  these  buyers  take 
advantage  of  a  woman’s  lack  of  experi¬ 
ence  or  nervousness,  and  drive  a  hard 
bargain.  In  a  case  like  this,  however, 
there  seems  to  be  no  chance  for  effecting 
a  diffei-ent  settlement.  An  agreement  was 
evidently  made  for  selling  the  cows  at  a 
certain  price,  and  the  sale  was  made. 
While  we  believe  that  it  was  a  “sacrifice” 
sale,  and  that  the  owner  did  not  obtain 
anything  like  a  fair  price  #for  the  cattle, 
it  would  be  considered  legally  a  full  sale, 
and  we  do  not  see  any  chance  for  making 
any  recovex-y  or  for  compelling  the  dealer 
to  pay  more  money.  In  case  he  will  not 
do  so,  as  a  matter  of  justice  and  l’ight, 
the  sale  will  hold  and  apparently  there  is 
no  way  of  going  back  of  it  now.  The 
only  thing  is  that  this  is  another  illus¬ 
tration  of  the  danger  of  trying  to  do 
business  of  this  kind  without  giving  full 
consideration  to  it,  and  consulting  with 
someone  who  would  help  give  a  fair  esti¬ 
mation  of  value.
