FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
Kicking for Fun.— I have a Jersey 
heifer two years old, in milk, that seems 
to kick for fun. I have tried all the 
devices I know without success. How 
should she be treated ? A. j. walker. 
Portland, N. Y. 
Ans. —We manage to get rid of such 
cows as soon as we can. When a cow 
just kicks for the fun of it we conclude 
that she is built for sport rather than 
for business. We doubt if there is any 
way of permanently curing the heifer 
of this bad habit. 
J. C. Greene, South Randolph, Vt., 
kept 10 cows for the year commencing 
September 1, 1891. The cream was 
raised in a Cooley creamer, and the butter 
made at A. A. Storr’s creamery, East 
Bethel, Vt. The spaces of cream 
amounted to 15,791, and the butter to 
2,430% pounds, which brought $468.88 
net. Moreover, some was used in the 
family, and calves to the value of $60 
were fatted and sold, making a total of 
$528.88. c. M. 
Prof. W. W. Cooke, of the Vermont 
Experiment Station (Burlington), issues 
a bulletin on several waste products from 
corn that are being sold for cattle food. 
Three products tested were cream gluten 
meal, corn germ feed and Buffalo gluten 
feed. The latter is sold under the gen¬ 
eral name of “ sugar meal,” and is a by¬ 
product in the manufacture of glucose 
sugar from corn. It is a good feed, but 
is very concentrated, and, like cotton-seed 
meal, should be fed sparingly. Three 
pounds per day are enough. 
Tobacco for a Colt. —1. Is there a 
better cow, for butter purposes, than a 
cross between a Holstein and a Jersey ? 
2. Is tobacco good for man and beasts? 
If it wastes man’s life away, why not kill 
worms in colts with it ? How much 
must be given a colt two years old that 
has worms ? c. c. 
Livingston County, N. Y. 
Ans. —1. The best butter records have 
been made by thoroughbreds of these 
breeds. A good Jersey bull crossed on a 
Holstein cow ought to produce a fine 
dairy animal—larger and a heavier 
milker than the average Jersey. We 
doubt, however, if by crossing the two 
breeds you will improve the butter quali¬ 
ties. We should prefer a good Guernsey 
to such a cross. 2. The only good we 
have ever heard claimed for tobacco is 
that it is a germicide of considerable 
value in diseases of the nose and throat. 
Specialists in these diseases assure us 
that tobacco in moderate quantities is 
helpful. Most of the “worm medicines” 
contain small quantities of tobacco. 
Tobacco-water or dust is often used to 
kill insects on plants or on the skins of 
animals, but pure tobacco is too strong 
to give the colt. The proper way to use 
it for pin worms is to make it into a 
“ tea ” by steeping in water and inject it 
per rectum, say once daily for three 
days. Use it about blood warm and give 
the “ condition powder ” described on 
page 237. 
A “Hollow Horn” Talk. —What is 
an effective cure for hollow horn, or the 
disease of which it is a symptom ? I sup¬ 
pose practical dairymen, or even good 
farmers do not have any trouble with 
anything like hollow horn, but “ buck- 
wheaters” do sometimes. e. e. f. 
New Millport, Pa. 
R. N. Y.—A cow with the “ hollow 
horn” is usually thin, weak, “hide¬ 
bound,” constipated, and in a generally 
poor condition. Nine times out of 10 the 
cow never would have been found in this 
condition if she had been well fed and 
cared for. Cows kept through the cold 
weather on straw or other coarse food 
with little grain, and obliged to drink 
ice-cold water at irregular intervals, be¬ 
come weak and sick, and for want of a 
better name people say they have the 
“ hollow horn.” Feed such cows good 
hay and grain, with doses of the condi¬ 
tion powder described on page 237 Cat¬ 
tle sometimes suffer from frozen horns, 
which cause great suffering at times. 
Dishorning or cutting off the horns to 
let the pus or matter escape is the “cure” 
for this. 
Tape Worm in Sheep. —While looking 
over back numbers of The R. N.-Y., I 
notice in an October number an article 
taken from the Detroit Free Press, 
stating that Mr. James Bainborough 
had lost 100 sheep from over-eating salt, 
that had been put upon Canada thistles 
where the animals had pastured. I am 
acquainted with Mr. Bainborough and 
talked with him about his loss He said 
the causes t>f their death were tape 
worms and other worms with which the 
intestines were pa'cked. The remedy is 
one teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine 
to 16 of milk, and a dose is one table¬ 
spoonful of the mixture three times per 
day. c. A. smith.

Don’t YOU Need a 
“BABY” 
Cream Separator 
If you have five or more cows, a “ BABY ” cannot but 
prove a most profitable and pleasing investment. Its 
use means more and better butter, warm skim-milk for 
feeding purposes, saving of ice, time, labor, and plant, 
and better satisfaction with dairying generally. 
Send for new “ BABY ” catalogue, giving actual expe¬ 
riences of well-known users and endorsement of highest 
dairy authorities In every section, styles, capacities,
