ONE  DISAGREEABLE  MOTORING 
EXPERIENCE  after  dark  on  the  trip  to  or 
from  town  convinces  the  farmer  of  the 
necessity  of  an  EVEREADY  FLASHLIGHT. 
The  safe,  reliable,  portable  light.  Safe, 
because  it  has  no  fre  hazard.  Reliable, 
because  you  can  carry  it  in  driving  wind  and 
rain.  Feeding  the  stock — in  working  about 
the  barn — anywhere  after  dark  on  the  farm, 
the  EVEREADY  FLASHLIGHT  is  literally  a 
light  of  a  thousand  uses;  a  single  use  often 
proves  worth  a  thousand  times  the  small 
cost.  Complete  with  batteries  65c  to  $4.50.

Saws  40  Cords  a  Day 
A  log  saw  that  will  burn  any  fuel  and  de¬ 
liver  the  surplus  power  so  necessary  to  fast 
sawing  is  sure  to  show  every  owner  an 
extra  profit  of  over  $1,000.00  a  year. 
Such  an  outfit  is  the  Witte  Log-Saw 
which  has  met  such  sensational  success. 
The  W1CO  Magneto  equipped  Witte  is

fast  cutting,  with  a  natural  “arm-swing” 
and  free  from  the  usual  log-saw  troubles. 
It  burns  kerosene,  gasoline  or  distillate  so 
economically  that  a  full  day’s  work  costs 
only  twenty-two  cents. 
Win.  Middlestadt  reports  that  the  Witte 
has  replaced  forty  men  using  buck-saws. 
Hundreds  of  users  saw  as  much  as  forty 
cords  a  day. 
Mr.  Witte  says  that  the  average  user  of 
a  Witte  Log  and  Tree  saw  can  make  easily 
$50.00  a  day  with  the  outfit  and  so  confi¬

Live  Stock  and  Dairy 
Renting  a  Cow 
Will  you  inform  me  as  to  a  fair  price 
to  pay  for  rental  of  a  cow  giving  about 
10  quarts  of  milk  per  (lay?  The  person 
renting  the  cow  next  Spring  feeds  her 
and  pastures,  etc.  The  cow  is  to  be  rented 
until  about  middle  of  August.  b.  o. 
We  often  hear  of  counting  chickens 
before  they  are  hatched,  but  selling  milk 
before  it  is  “milked”  is  rather  a  novel 
feature  of  the  dairy  business.  However, 
there  is  always  a  way  to  solve  these  prob¬ 
lems  if  both  parties  are  agreeable.  I  un¬ 
derstand  from  your  letter  that  you  take 
the  cow  and  feed  her  and  milk  her  for 
two  months  paying  the  owner  for  the  use 
of  her.  A  cow  which  is  giving  10  quarts 
of  milk  a  day  on  the  start  would  shrink 
to  six  or  seven  quarts  during  the  two 
months  with  good  care,  so  she  would  not 
be  as  valuable  when  returned  as  she  is  at 
the  beginning.  As  July  and  August 
are  two  months  during  which  a  farmer 
can  make  a  profit  from  his  cows  the 
owner  should  receive  the  amount  which 
he  would  make,  over  the  cost  of  produc¬ 
tion,  on  the  milk  this  cow  gives  during 
the  two  months  plus  a  small  amount  for 
depreciation.  At  this  place  which  is  very 
near  your  home  this  would  amount  to 
$30  to  $35.  depending  upon  the  quality  of 
the  milk  and  the  price  for  which  it  sells. 
Figuring  the  average  production  at  S 
quarts  per  day,  the  cost  of  production  at 
10  cents  per  quart  and  the  selling  price 
at  16  cents  per  quart,  there  would  be  a 
profit  of  48  cents  a  day,  or  practically 
$30  for  the  two  months.  Adding  $5  for 
depreciation  would  bring  the  total 
amount  up  to  $35,  which  should  not  he 
very  far  out  of  the  way.  Of  course,  this 
amount  will  vary  under  different  condi¬ 
tions,  especially  when  a  person  lives 
back  in  the  country.  C.  s.  G. 
Garget 
We  have  a  small  dairy  of  25  cows  and 
we  have  been  having  a  lot  of  trouble  with 
their  udders  during  the  last  six  months. 
One  quarter  seems  to  give  stringy  and 
lumpy  milk  for  a  while,  then  it  seems  to 
get  well,  but  comes  back  in  a  couple  of 
weeks.  We  are  careful  always  to  milk 
these  bad  teats  last,  and  have  used  lini¬ 
ment,  hot  water,  etc.  We  are  at  a  loss 
as  to  what  causes  this  as  they  are  milked 
real  dry  and  no  blood  is  found  in  the  milk 
as  in  garget.  The  quarter  swells  some, 
hut  not  had.  The  last  cow  to  get  one  of 
these  bad  teats  dropped  from  9  qts.  of 
milk  to  1  y2  qts.  in  two  days.  They  get 
the  same  feed  as  in  all  past  years,  (viz.) 
corn,  gluten,  oilmeal,  bran  and  ground 
oats.  G.  ir.  T. 
It  is  evident  from  your  inquiry  that 
the  udders  of  the  cows  in  question  are 
afflicted  with  garget.  This  condition  can 
be  passed  on  from  one  cow  to  the  next  by 
the  milker,  and  this  is  perhaps  why  the 
annoyance  has  been  continued  on  through¬ 
out  the  Summer  season.  Often  the  ropy 
material  found  in  the  affected  quarters  is 
milked  out  on  the  floor  of  the  dairy  stable 
and  contamination  of  the  other  quarters 
is  made  in  this  way.  Sometimes  a  three- 
teated  cow  is  worth  more  than  another 
cow  with  four  teats.  However,  when  a 
cow  gets  a  genuine  case  of  garget,  one 
that  has  carried  through  a  prolonged 
period,  one  might  as  well  make  up  his 
mind  that  lie  has  a  three-teated  cow  on 
his  hands  and  that,  unless  she  is  a  per¬ 
sistent  milker,  she  would  best  be  sold  for 
beef  after  being  fattened.  Certainly  this 
decision  should  be  made  if  the  cow  is 
past  her  prime  in  age  and  not  especially 
popular  in  the  stable  as  a  profitable  pro¬ 
ducer  of  milk.  Bathing  of  the  udder  at 
the  outset  with  hot  salt  water  and  the  ap¬ 
plication  of  remedies  may  help,  but  the 
safest  way  is  to  dry  her  off  and  fatten 
her  for  the  butcher.  This  condition  is 
often  aggravated  by  feeding  the  rations 
that  are  too  highly  concentrated,  or  ra¬ 
tions  that  are  loaded  down  with  such  con¬ 
centrates  as  cottonseed  meal,  gluten  meal, 
or  products  of  this  character.  An  in¬ 
sufficient  amount  of  bran  or  linseed  meal 
is  a  contributing  cause. 
When  cows  are  afflicted  in  this  way 
they  will  drop  materially  in  their  daily 
flow  of  milk  and  it  is  almost  impossible 
to  get  them  back,  because  all  during  the 
treatment  of  garget  one  must  reduce  the 
grain  ration  to  the  minimum  in  order  to 
reduce  the  inflamation  and  get  rid  of  the 
congestion.  I  would  suggest  going  through 
the  herd,  sorting  out  those  that  have 
trouble  of  this  character,  and  get  a  price 
on  them  from  the  butcher.  F.  c.  M.

A  Wise  Old  Trapper 
IN  the  State  of  Ohio  there  lived  a  bunch  of  boys 
who  had  this  trapping  business  down  to  a  science. 
They  each  sent  for  separate  price  lists  every  year 
and  then  sent  all  their  furs  to  the  house  giving  the 
best  quotations.  After  five  years  they  decided  they 
weren’t  so  dreadfully  wise  because  they  didn't  have 
enough  profits  to  make  their  efforts  worth  while. 
One  day  they  met  Tom  McMillan  driving  a  new 
car  to  town.  Tom  said  he  made  the  price  of  his 
swell  outfit  shipping  pelts.  He  told  how  he  got 
wise  to  those  funny  prices  and  found  it  was  better 
to  deal  with  Chas.  Porter,  because  he  always  knew 
in  advance  just  what  he  was  sure  of  getting.  He 
said  that  Porter  never  offered  $5  for  a  $3  pelt,  but 
he  always  paid  the  $3  which  he  promised  and  some¬ 
times  just j a  little  better.  Chas.  Porter  now  has 
five  wise  trappers  in  that  section  instead  of  one.
