Net Profit! 
Every man who milks cows for a living 
knows that net profit -- income over lab¬ 
or and feed costs — determines the value 
of a dairy herd. 
Holstein Herds Assure Net Profit -- 
through large, economical production 
of milk arid butter-fat, regular crop 
of healthy calves, greater salvage val¬ 
ue from animals after milking days 
are ended.

able in N. y. State, black and white and 
red and white and in the best of condition, 
and I will be pleased to show them to the 
critical buyer that cannot find what he 
wants elsewhere. If you want the best, I 
want your business. Don’t write for 
prices, but wire when you will come.

bed-pieces, which made it impossible to 
use rollers to any advantage. 
The next most important considera¬ 
tion is to have the crate boarded closely 
for some eighteen to twenty inches up 
from the floor. When a crate is being 
handled an animal is apt to lose its 
lalance, and in its struggles to right 
itself will often stick its leg through 
the slats unless these are close enough 
ogether to prevent such an accident. 
As Comfortable as the Stable 
Other valuable features In crate con- 
stiTiction are brought out in the illus- 
■;ration, which shows an animal crated 
or shipment to Bermuda. This crate 
is so constructed that an animal can 
ive comfortably in it almost indefi¬ 
nitely. It stands in a stanchion, just 
as though it were in its own stable. 
There is a manger in which a pail of 
water can be set and in which hay and 
grain can be fed. The back door is so 
linged as to open outwards and permit 
easy cleaning of the crate, and rebed¬ 
ding of the animal. 
The crate in the illustration looks a 
ittle heavy in construction, but our ex¬ 
perience has been that it is much better 
;o pay express on 100 pounds of lumber 
and have a crate which will withstand 
strain, than to economize on weight 
and have a crate go to pieces during 
shipment. A crate such as is shown in 
the illustration can be used indefinitely, 
and an animal can be safely shipped in 
it almost any distance over any sort 
of route.

highest grades of beef shipped in from

That man has one job ahead of him, 
which, if it were mine, I would look 
forward to as something pretty dread¬ 
ful. He is hopeful that by spring his 
great strawstack will be undermined 
and leveled down and trodden into the 
barnyard. It will also be mixed with 
liberal quantities of cow droppings and 
well-laced, with long cornstalks from 
which the cattle have husked the nub¬ 
bins. Also it will be weighted with 
plenty of snow water and with the 
weepings of the April showers and 
somehow it must be gotten out onto 
the fields. 
Undisputed Championship 
N OW, according to the most cele¬ 
brated of the Greek myths, the 
fifth of the twelve Labors of Hercules, 
consisted of the job of cleaning the 
stables of King Augeas, where 3,000 
oxen had been fed for 30 years, and 
neither the King nor his hired man had 
ever drawn out a single load of manure 
during all that time. Well, Hercules 
was a youth, large for his years, husky 
and ful of pep, and a sort of a demi¬ 
god, anyway. So when he was taken 
around and shown the job, he promptly 
drew on his rubber hip-boots, peeled off 
his coat and vest, spat on his hands and 
waded into it and cleaned up the whole 
mess by sundown, thus winning the 
undisputed title as the champion long¬ 
distance manure-thrower of all time 
and making for himself an imperish¬ 
able name that can never pass away. 
I am assured, however, that Hercules 
will have very little on this Cayuga 
County farmer after the manure spread¬ 
er goes into action in the front-line 
trenches next spring. 
This man is surely dealing with his 
problems in a way that is very unusual 
in our State, and I have no word of 
criticism, but only of commendation, 
because he is blazing a new trail. In a 
general way, however, I have little 
confidence in any sweeping or revolu¬ 
tionary change in our agricultural sys¬ 
tems or methods. Most of us are dairy¬ 
men, and dairymen we had best re¬ 
main. This man was led to his present 
methods as a protest against labor 
conditions and a revolt against the 
eternal routine of the dairy farm. I do 
not think he expects to handle as much 
money as if he were to join the morn¬ 
ing procession of milk rigs. But at 
least he can make his farm self-sup¬ 
porting from within his own fence¬ 
lines. He need not feel that he has 
committed the unpardonable agricul¬ 
tural sin if he should sleep some morn- 
. ing until, say, six A. M. 
In any case, it is most interesting 
to find Corn Belt Agriculture trans¬ 
planted to a big, generous, old New 
, York State farm. 
THE McCORHlCK-HEERINfi 
PRIMROSE 
Gives You All of the Cream 
It skims clean, and the cream brings the 
highest market price—the globules of butter 
fat are smooth and unbroken, and the cream 
is in the best condition for butter making. 
Such a separator brings you the greatest re¬ 
turn from your cows. Because experienced 
farmers and dairymen insist upon receiving 
positive profits from their investm.ent in dairy 
cattle, buildings, and 
equipment, they de¬ 
mand and use a clean- 
skimming cream sepa¬ 
rator—the McCormick- 
Deering Primrose.

Saved Big Veterinary Bills — Cows 
Gave More Milk the Year Through 
Mr. C. E. Dodge of Dewittville, N. Y., is 
one of the many cow owners who have dis¬ 
covered that it pays best to PREVENT cow 
diseases. He knows that it is a fine thing 
to have on hand such a valuable medicine 
as Kow-Kare in the event of actual diseases, 
Buch as Abortion, Retained Afterbirth, Bar¬ 
renness, Milk Fever, Scours, Bunches, etc. 
But he also knows that a moderate use of 
Kow-Kare in the feed not only PREVENTS 
these diseases, but greatly increases the 
winter milk flow. He writes us his expe¬ 
rience, as follows: 
“Since I have been on the County Farm, 
I have been using Kow-Kare in the dairy 
for the last ten years. I have 62 cows. My 
experience is that a few dollars’ worth of 
Kow-Kare saves us a great many dollars' 
worth of veterinary bills, and also every cow 
in the dairy that I feed it to produces more 
all the year thru because of the Kow-Kare. I 
have no sick cows or trouble, when I begin 
feeding Kow-Kare, from the first of January 
until I turn them out in the Spring.’’ 
■Winter feeds are so much harder on the 
digestive and milk making organs pf the 
cow that the vitality of these functions is 
sure to become impaired unless nature is 
assisted. Kow-Kare is designed primarily 
to strengthen these very organs so that they 
may throw off disease and keep up the nor¬ 
mal milk production. 
The best of it is, this valuable Kow-Eara 
treatment costs so little. Just a tablespoon¬ 
ful of the remedy morning and evening 
about one week in each month will keep a 
cow in best of health and heaviest milking. 
Your troubles from sick and backward cows 
are over when you have learned to depend 
on Kow-Kare. 
Feed stores, general stores and 
druggists sell Kow-Kare; large size 
$1.25, medium, 6Bc. We will send 
postpaid if your dealer is not sup¬ 
plied. Write now for our valuable
