the object of rendering this area free 
from tubercolosis. Is this the soundest 
plan under which to proceed? 
Obviously under it the accredited 
herd plan cannot be made available to 
all the cattle owners of the state. Are 
there not discriminating and careful 
cattle owners who possess both the 
desire and ability to eradicate tubercu¬ 
losis from their herds and keep them 
clean who, under the area system, do 
not get the cooperation that is their 
right ? And are there not a good many 
men in some of the areas cleaned up 
who will never keep a clean herd un¬ 
less they do so by accident? ‘ Does the 
creation of clean areas, provided they 
can be kept clean, counterbalance the 
maximum cooperation that might be 
extended to cattle owners who possess 
every qualification to give the state 
and federal governments the most de¬ 
sirable kind of cooperation in combating 
the disease. 
Where are We to Look for 
Replacements? 
The figures show that an immense 
number of cattle are being slaughtered. 
They show that in some areas a good 
third of the cattle react. Where these 
areas lie in dairy districts which derive 
their whole income from milk and its 
products, the owners obviously cannot 
get along without replacing their 
losses. Where are clean replacements 
to come from ? 
Is there not danger, particularly in 
some areas, of removing the tuberculous 
cattle before others are available to 
take their place ? 
Are Sanitary Measures Sufficiently 
Emphasized ? 
Most of the reports we read, speak of 
the great value of testing and the rapid¬ 
ity with which it has developed. Has 
the education of the cattle owner rela¬ 
tive to the nature of bovine tubercu¬ 
losis and its control preceded or even 
kept pace with the testing that has 
been done? 
When reactors^ are found on farms, 
are the premises in all cases thoroughly 
cleaned up and disinfected? Are suf¬ 
ficient precautions being taken to 
prevent the re-introduction of tuber¬ 
culosis animals into tested herds? Or 
is the work demanding so much of the 
men who are handling it that these real 
fundamentals are in danger of being 
slighted in favor of the more spectacu¬ 
lar testing and slaughtering of reactors? 
Is Testing on an Economic Basis 
In a previous article I have stated 
that I believe men test when it pays. 
The more I observe the tuberculin test¬ 
ing of cattle, the more I am convinced 
of the truth of this statement. I know 
men who have tested and thereby de¬ 
veloped clean herds of purebreds who 
are reaping a financial reward today. 
I know men who have tested grade 
herds and are selling their milk for 
more money. I also know men who 
have tested their herds and sold them 
to the state by the indemnity route. 
With them it paid also. 
If a proposition pays, a man ought 
to be willing to pay for it. Certainly he 
will not appreciate a free tuberculin 
test as much as one he pays for. The 
tendency, however, is more and more 
toward free testing. Is this a sound 
economic proposition? Until bovine 
tuberculosis eradication is put on a 
health basis, is it not fair to inquire 
what justification there is for free test¬ 
ing ? Will it not in the long run retard 
sound progress?

The Neck of the Bottle 
Last year almost two and a half 
billion dollars’ worth of mUk was 
produced in the United States by 
approximately 23,000,000 dairy 
cows. To milk these cows by hand 
requires the time of 2,300,000 peo¬ 
ple two hours a day, or 4,600,000 
hours of human labor each day 
(based on the supposition that a 
man can milk ten cows an hour, 
;which is fast hand milking). At 
the extremely low rate of 10 cents 
an hour it costs the farmers of the 
United States $460,000 a day—^just 
for milking. 
Just think of a two billion dol¬ 
lar industry, the largest and most 
profitable branch of agriculture, 
operating on such a slow and 
costly basis. No other industry 
or branch of farming at all com¬ 
parable is so handicapped. Hand 
milking is the limiting factor in 
dairy farming; it is “the neck of 
the bottle”—because when milk¬ 
ing can be done faster there is 
more time for other farm work. 
Of course cows are not milked 
for the love of it; on the contrary, 
dairymen have wanted and waited 
for a better way of milking for 
many years. “The Better Way of 
Milking” has arrived, and it is the 
De Laval Milker. There are now 
over 10,000 De Laval Milkers in 
use in all parts of the country, 
giving unqualified satisfaction and 
proving every day that they can 
milk at least twice as many cows 
with the same amount of help— 
thus cutting the cost of milking 
squarely in two, or enabling twice 
as many cows to be milked with 
the same help. 
But even if the De Laval Milker 
didn’t save a minute of time, its 
use would stiU pay because its 
uniform, gentle and stimulating 
action causes the cows to produce 
more milk than can be obtained by 
any other method of milking; and 
it produces cleaner milk. 
The De Laval has proved con¬ 
clusively that it cuts the cost of 
milking, produces more milk from 
the same cows, and produces 
cleaner milk. It pays for itself 
in a year’s time and is sold on 
such easy terms that you can use 
it while it is doing so. Why wait 
any longer? See your De Laval 
agent or write us for complete in¬ 
formation.

Herdsman Tells of Wide 
Elxperience with Kow-Kare 
Paul A. Chadwick of Corona, Cal., writeal 
us a typical letter on the results of his use 
of Kow-Kare in the dairy. He says: 
“I am a herdsman for the Jameson Es¬ 
tate and I am having diflSculty to convince 
the manager of the value of KOW-KARE. 
We are troubled with abortion, retained 
afterbirth, and barrenness, all of which I 
can prevent with KOW-KARE and I have 
had 100% results with barrenness, never 
in sixteen years with several thousand cows 
in several states failed to get cows with calf 
after three months' continuous use. I have 
used about a ton of your product and some 
Garget Remedy as well as Bag Balm. My 
fither used KOW-KARE when I was very 
young and never had a case of abortion, 
and only one case of retained afterbirth in 
over twenty years.” 
That KOW-KARE can and does accomplish 
such wonderful results is not strange. The 
medicinal properties of the remedy build up 
and put into healthy operation the digestive 
and genital organs. It is in these organs 
that most diseases of cows are centered—and 
it is these same organs that regulate the 
flow of milk. 
During the months of winter feeding the 
milk-making functions need outside support. 
KOW-KARE furnishes this help. Just a 
tablespoonful in the feed twice a day for 
one week in each month will show a big in¬ 
crease in the yield of milk. The use of 
KOW-KARE before and after calving as¬ 
sures more robust cows and healthier calves. 
We have a thirty-two page book that 
tells just what to do in case of cow illness. 
It is called “The Home Cow Doctor” and is 
yours for the asking. Thousands of cow 
owners ask for It each year. 
Feed dealers, general stores and druggists 
have KOW-KARE—$1.25 and 66c sizes. We 
will send postpaid if not to be had at your 
store.
