FOBKFTJIiS OF FACTS. 
SxorpiNQ EToi.es and Horns.— The best 
way to stop up a hole in the side of a 
cow’s teat is to wet the spot where the 
hole is and then rub thoroughly with a 
stick of caustic potash ; wait five or six 
hours and repeat the operation. If 
thoroughly done, when the scab comes 
off there will be no hole. I have closed 
two in that way. The best time is when 
the cow is dry. The same treatment 
will kill horns on calves if applied when 
they are two or three days old. 
Boonville, N. Y., G. L- p. 
Beets vs. Ensilage.— We are often 
asked how beets compare with ensilage 
as profitable food for cows. Bulletin 
No. ."iO of the Ohio Experiment Station 
at Wooster gives the results of some ex¬ 
periments which show that on the 
Station Farm, two pounds of dry matter 
in ensilage cost less than one pound in 
beets. For feeding purposes, the two are 
about equal, pound for pound. The cost 
of the silo must be added to the cost of 
cultivating the corn. 
To Heal a Sore.— On page 156, The R. 
N.-Y. says three parts of sweet oil to one 
of carbolic acid for healing sores on 
animals. As carbolic acid varies so in 
strength, I would like to know how to 
use it. 
Howe’s Cave, N. Y. 
R, N. -Y.—We use the standard carbolic 
acid as sold at the drug stores. On an 
ordinary sore we apply this lotion three 
or four times a day, using a feather or 
the tip of a finger. 
That Incubation Talk.— My article 
upon incubators was intended for “ the 
infant class.” Of course, where there 
is a large number of incubators con¬ 
taining many thousands of eggs, turn¬ 
ing the eggs by hand is impossible on 
account of expense. Turning devices 
must be used, and, while they effect a 
saving in one direction, they cause a 
loss, and a very serious one, in another. 
C. H. Latham, one of the prominent 
poultry breeders of this country, began 
to use turning devices for the eggs in 
his incubators, and found that their use 
caused such a loss that he went back to 
the old way of turning by hand. While 
the eggs are being turned, those at the 
ends of the tray should be placed at the 
center, and those at the centers should 
be changed to the ends so as to equalize 
the heat. Those who operate only one 
or two incubators should turn by hand. 
If the tray is not full, the eggs should be 
kept as near the center as possible.
