WITTE Log-Saw Does the Work of 
10 Men at 1/20 the Cost—Saws 
25 Cords a Day. 
A log-saw that will burn any fuel 
and deliver the surplus power so neces¬ 
sary 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 WICO Magneto equipped Witte is 
known as the standard of power saws— 
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. 
Wm. Middlestadt reports that the Witte has 
replaced forty men using buck-saws. Hundreds 
of users saw as much as twenty-five 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 confident is he that 
he offers to send the complete combination log 
and tree saw on ninety days’ free trial to any¬ 
one who will write to him. The prices are lowest 
in history and under the fnethod of easy pay¬ 
ments spread over a year, only a few dollars 
down puts the Witte to work for you. 
If you are interested in making more money 
sawing wood and clearing your place at small 
cost, write Mr. Witte today at the Witte Engine 
Works, 6803 Witte Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., or 
6803 Empire Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa., for full 
details of this remarkable offer. You are under 
no obligation by writing.

The Cow’s Udder— 
How Much Do You Really Know About It? 
327 
I HAVE found the udder to be a very 
delicate organ, which is about. as 
sensitive to abuse, ill-treatment and im¬ 
proper care — or the reverse of good treat- 
nent and care—as a good timepiece. I 
ind that nothing adds more to the value 
of a dairy cow than a capacious, well¬ 
shaped and placed udder. Either at the 
sale or in a show ring the udder is one of 
the main points on which the final deci¬ 
sion is based. Really, it is the one thing 
above everything else that indicates 
whether or not a cow will be a non-sup¬ 
porter or a revenue producer. Therefore 
we should strive to learn about and under¬ 
stand the udder. 1 
It is composed of four parts, which are 
separated by fibrous tissues. 
There is no connection between these 
parts, so it is impossible to draw milk 
from one to the other. The milk glands 
proper are located near the abdomen and 
extend downward to the udder, the re¬ 
mainder of which is occupied by blood 
vessels, nerves, muscles, ducts and tissues 
which make it rather open and spongy 
like. The muscle at the lower end of the 
teat keeps the milk from escaping. The 
upper end of the canal in the teat is con¬ 
nected with the milk reservoir, the size 
of which varies in different cows. The 
opening from this reservoir into the teat 
is also guarded by a muscle over which 
the cow has little control. In dealing with 
the udder of a cow we are therefore work¬ 
ing with a very complex mechanism. 
Length and Width of Greatest Import 
Length and width of the udder are of 
greater importance than depth. We get 
the length desired in an udder that is 
attached high behind and runs well for¬ 
ward on the belly. Width is determined 
by the conformation of the thighs. The 
inside of the thighs should curve outward, 
forming a well-defined arch that begins 
high, has its widest part at the top and 
inside of which the udder hangs free and 
easy. An udder that is long toward the 
ground is a pendulous udder and very 
objectionable in many ways. It swings 
as the cow walks or runs, hitting her legs, 
often becoming bruised, causing bloody 
milk and other troubles. It comes in 
contact with the dirt, manure, etc., in the 
barn. With this kind of an udder the 
secretory glands are farther removed 
from the blood supply than in the case 
with the long udder that is closely at¬ 
tached to the body. A cow with such an 
udder as this is most disagreeable to milk 
and is a sure indication of a poor producer.

When writing to advertisers, be sure to 
mention the American Agriculturist 
Another shape of udder to guard against 
is the “tilted udder,” one that is fully 
developed in the hind quarters but greatly 
lacking in the fore quarters. Two-thirds 
or more of the milk is given from the 
hind quarters. 
Sometimes the teats are very close to¬ 
gether and cause great inconvenience 
when milking. It is natural to suppose 
that were the fore quarters developed 
like the hind ones a much larger produc¬ 
tion of milk would be obtained from the 
increased capacity. 
/Another objectionable form of udder 
is what is termed the “pointed udder.” 
Such an udder is lacking in all of the quar¬ 
ters and comes to a point like a funnel, 
the teats being very close together. It is 
not only disagreeable to milk cows with 
such udders but they seldom yield very 
much milk. 
It is really not safe to buy a cow with a 
large udder without seeing her milked 
out. The practice of “bagging up the 
udder” is followed by many and is very 
harmful and dangerous. Many a good 
cow has been ruined by it in preparation 
for public auction sales, for showing at 
various fairs and other contests. The 
better the cow the more dangerous is 
the practice. It is also very difficult to 
detect a bad quarter when the cow’s 
udder is very large and tight from the 
need of milking out. The size, however, 
may be due to a “fleshy udder” as well as 
to be not milked out. It is not unusual 
to milk a cow with a very large udder, 
getting perhaps a little over a gallon of 
milk with no more to be had even though 
from appearances of the udder there 
should still be one to two or more gallons. 
Such an udder has a large number of fatty 
cells incapable of secreting milk and the 
udder remains large and hard to the touch 
even after the cow is milked, whereas it 
should collapse, being soft and spongy 
to the touch. Since a good udder should 
be attached high behind there should be 
loose folds of soft and oily skin hanging 
from the attachment after the udder is 
milked out. Such an udder denotes 
quality and efficiency, just what we are 
looking for to be profitable milkers.— 
R. B. Rushing. 
One Cow or Thirty-one 
T HAT comparisons are not odious but 
on the contrary enlightening and valu¬ 
able is the deduction to be obtained from 
a little pamphlet “Annual Report of 
McGregor, Iowa, Cow Testing Associa¬ 
tion,” published by the tester of the 
Association, Oliver Constable. 
Of the 243 cows in the association 
which were on test nine months or longer, 
the report shows that the twelve highest 
fat-producing cows earned their owners 
thirty-one times as much on an average 
as the twelve lowest fat producers. 
Here are the figures:

From these figures it w r ill be seen that 
the twelve high cows produced on an 
average three times as much milk as the 
twelve low cow’s and about four times as 
much butter-fat. The value of the fat of 
the twelve highest was on an average five 
times as much as that of the twelve 
lowest. The cost of feeding for the high 
production was less than twice the cost 
of feed for the low producers. The high

An Old-Fashioned Virginia Churning Apparatus 
T HE labors of hand churning w'ere 
evidently appreciated years ago. The 
accompanying illustration was taken from 
the 1843 volume of American Agricul- ' 
turist and shows a contrivance described 
in that issue by John Lewis of Kentucky, 
which he saw on one of his 
travels through Virginia. In 
his description of it he said: 
“Its merits are its cheap¬ 
ness and its simplicity. 
A boy or girl of twelve 
years of age can with great 
ease work three or four 
churns. The principle, you 
will perceive, may be ap¬ 
plied to any number of 
churns.” 
here’s one sign 
that thousands of 
dairymen believe in 
"E'XPERIENCE la a great teacher. If y 
■*-' doubt your ability to materially add 
If you 
to 
your cows"’ milk production, why not prove 
! * for yourself by an actual trial? 
The winter months, with the long period of 
dry feeding, are a severe strain on the cow’s 
digestion and assimilation. To get from the 
feed ALL the milk-value these organs must be 
even more vigorous than when green pastur¬ 
age is available. 
Kow-Kare is a medicinal Invigorator that 
acts directly on the milk-making organs. Even 
if your cows are, apparently, healthy, a table¬ 
spoonful of Kow-Kare twice a day, one week 
out of each month will surprisingly increase 
the milk-flow. 
For the actual treatment of such cow dis¬ 
eases as Barrenness, Abortion, Retained After¬ 
birth, Scours, Garget, Milk Fever, Lost Appe¬ 
tite, etc., the value of Kow-Kare is undisputed. 
Its success lies in its invigorating action on 
the digestive and genital organa—Ihe seat of 
nearly all cow disorders 
Prove the value of 
Kow-Kare this winter.
