THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

A Good Bull Was Worth $450 in
One Season.
The average farmer and stock
raiser will say, that he cannot afford
to buy high-priced bulls. I know a
man who bought a pure bred bull
a good one and in the first crop of
calves there were fifty steers. These
steers were out of native cows that
cost the owner from seven to ten
dollars per head. The steers at an
average age of 18 months were sold
to a feeder for $19.50 per head. In
the same lot the feeder had several
scrub steers of about the same age
and size that had been bought for
$10.50 per head. I asked the feeder
if ; he considered the better-bred
steers worth $9 pec head more than
the scrubs, and he replied that he
did. If that be true, the good blood
in the bull was worth $450 in his
first crop of calves.

Ropy Milk.
i, I have two cows in field where
they get peas, cottonseed and
fodder. I notice in bottom of
milk vessel after the milk stands
until it goes to change to clab
ber, there is about a half cupful ;
of the milk that Is ropy or
stringy. The milk is not this
way till just before it begins to
turn, and after it turns to clab
ber it looks all right Please tell
me what ails the milk and
greatly oblige, W. D. H.

Editorial Answer: Ropiness in
milk is a condition due to faulty
handling after it comes from the cow
rather than to any abnormal condi
tion of the cow or to the feed she Is
receiving. It Is due to bacteriological
action. First, see that the cow is clean
and that milker does his work in
such a manner as to prevent contami-

nation as nearly as it is practicable.
Thoroughly wash vessels in tepid wa
ter, then in hot water with soap and
scald with boiling water and: expose
to sunshine. See that the place
where the milk is kept is fresh and
sweet. This condition probably does
not render the milk unfit for use, but
its use would be more satisfactory
and agreeable if the. germs which
cause the trouble were kept out.
The Johnston County Alliance.
The Johnston County Alliance met
in regular session at Smithfleld April
10, 1909. The regular business of
the Alliance was transacted, after
which subjects of importance were
discussed by the brethren. Reports
show that the Alliance is in good
shape in the county and the indica
tions are that the Order will be much
stronger in the near future. We
hope at our meeting in July to have
a large crowd present as there will
be business of great Importance to
attend to.

Gentlemen: 'I
I must confess, I did not expect very many orders from my adver
tisement on account of its small space and the fact that it only appeared
one time, but I want to tell you that it has wonderfully surpassed my ex
pectations. Upt to the present date I could easily have sold $500.00 worth
of pigs when tlie advertisement; only cost me sixty-three (63) cents. But,
to my profund regret, the demand has proved greater than, the supply.
Orders came in so rapidly that I sold out in one week. I heartily recom
mend your paper, not only to Farmers, but to all who care to be 'pro
gressive, " ior l consider it tne Dest advertising medium i nave
known. Thanking you for past courtesies, I am,
Very respectfully, Mrs. G W. Hardy, Jeffress, Va.
