AILING  ANIMALS 
Helps  To  Increase  Stock  Profits 
THESE  animals  were  fed  on  silage  cut 
by  Silver’s  “Ohio.”  Note  their  records. 
“Ohio”  cut  silage  makes  better  feed  than 
ordinary  silage.  Better  because  it’s  cut  more  uni¬ 
form-packs  air-tight  in  the  silo — free  from  air 
pockets— mold-proof — ferments  properly— gives 
the  animal  all  of  the  good  food  value  of  the  corn 
or  silage  material.

Laying  Trouble;  Care  of  Cow 
1.  I  have  rather  recently  lost  one  after 
another,  some  15  hens  from  my  flock  of 
300,  with  what  I  think  is  known  as 
eversion  of  the  oviduct.  Feed,  dry  mash, 
equal  parts  bran,  middlings,  dairy  feed, 
gluten,  with  a  half  part  meat  scraps  and 
a  small  amount  of  salt.  Charcoal,  grit 
and  shell  before  hens  all  the  time.  Grain 
fed  very  lightly  in  the  morning  and  a 
half  bushel  of  mixed  cracked  corn  and 
oats  in  the  evening  for  the  300.  Not 
over-fed.  Leghorns,  hens  not  over-fat. 
Green  food  all  Winter  was  cabbage. 
Now  fresh  clover.  Once  a  week,  as  have 
been  advised  since  this  trouble  came  on. 
give  Epsom  salts  in  water.  Can  you  ad¬ 
vise  me  what  best  to  do?  2.  Have  pure¬ 
bred  Jersey  cow.  duo  to  calve  in  July; 
just  bought.  She  is  giving  but  six 
quarts,  as  feed  was  cut  down  some 
months  ago.  when  dairyman  stopped  sell¬ 
ing  milk.  Have  ample  pasture  of  a  sort, 
with  all  fresh  green  rye  I  care  to  feed  in 
addition.  Wluit  would  I  best  feed  in 
addition?  Just  now  am  giving  four 
pounds  per  day  of  equal  parts  bran,  corn- 
meal,  gluten,  with  two  parts  dairy  feed.

1.  Tlmre  is  little  that  ran  be  done  for 
cases  of  protrusion  of  the  oviduct.  Dur¬ 
ing  the  heavy  laying  of  Spring  and  early 
Summer,  there  will  be  found  hens  and 
pullets  that  are  not  able  to  stand  up 
under  the  strain  of  heavy  production  and 
display  their  physical  weakness  by  dis¬ 
orders  of  the  reproductive  organs.  Tight¬ 
er  feeding,  less  stimulating  food,  greater 
liberty  and  less  forcing  for  Winter  eggs 
will  all  contribute  toward  a  lessening  of 
this  trouble  but  will,  of  course,  also  les¬ 
sen  the  yearly  egg  production.  The 
trouble  is  seldom  found  in  form  flocks  or 
those  kept  under  more  nearly  natural 
conditions  than  are  those  of  the  poultry- 
man.  _  The  conclusion  seems  inevitable 
that  highly  artificial  conditions  of  Winter 
living  are  as  inimical  to  the  physical 
stamina  of  fowls  as  those  of  fashionable 
society  are  popularly  supposed  to  he  to 
humans. 
2.  Most  cows  should  have  from  four  to 
six  weeks  of  rest  between  periods  of 
milking;  yours,  therefore,  should  now  be 
dried  up.  Do  this  hv  removing  all  grain 
from  the  ration  and  feeding  upon  lmv 
alone  for  a  short  time.  Milk  hut  once 
daily  for  a  few  days,  then  irregularly  un¬ 
til  the  cow  gets  down  to  two  or  three 
quarts  of  milk  daily;  then  stop  milking 
entirely  and  leave  the  udder  alone.  Don't 
be  frightened  by  it  full  udder  after  ceas¬ 
ing  to  milk,  unless  so  excessively  dis¬ 
tended  as  evidently  to  need  relief.  An 
occasional  cow  is  found  that  cannot  safe¬ 
ly  be  dried  up.  but  they  are  rare.  As 
your  cow  has  been  heavily  grained,  she 
will  probably  need  no  grain  while  dry 
but  a  very  moderate  grain  ration  of 
wheat  bran  and  middlings  may  he  fed 
after  she  ceases  to  give  milk,  if  desired. 
Do  not  give  cornmeal.  gluten  feed  or  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal  just  previous  to  calving. 
The  secret  of  ci-.tM’-sr  Silverized  silage  ts  all  In  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  the  “Ohio'  —  the  pioneer  silo  tiller.  The  strength  of 
the  machine,  the  plant  grip  feed  rollers,  and  double-bearing, 
non-springing  knife  cylinder  ell  combine  to  give  you  a  fine, 
evenly-cut  silage  no  matter  how  hard  you  crowd  the  ma¬ 
chine.  You  can  r-et  the  knives  at  half  inch  cut  and  you  get 
half  inch.  With  heavy  hearing*  at  both  ends,  they  cannot 
spring  n  way  from  tlio  cutter  bur.  Silage  is  all  mold-proot— 
no  shreds  nor  leaves  can  work  through. 
But  there  are  many  other  big  features  in  the  “OHIO.”  The 
beater  feed,  friction  reverse,  direct  drive,  single  lever  con¬ 
trol,  non-explosive  blower,  etc.  Write  and  Ictus  tell  you  ^ 
about  them— and  why  more  “Ohiog”  are  u  oibv  Ex-  TY 
periment  Stations  and  Colleges  than  a'l  other  fillers.  M

Preventing  Collar  Sores 
Seeing  so  many  “gall  cures”  advertised 
I  thought  I  would  write  you  of  one  I 
have  never  known  to  fail,  although  T 
have  seen  it  tried  time  after  time,  and  is 
the  only  thing  I  have  ever  found  it  need¬ 
ful  to  use.  Just  cold  salt  water  will  keep 
the  horses’  neck  and  shoulders  in  perfect 
Condition,  if  used  in  time.  When  you  take 
off  the  collar  and  find  the  neek  nil  sweaty 
and  perhaps  with  small  pimples  show¬ 
ing,  just  get  a  basin  of  cold  water,  add 
plenty  of  salt  and  bathe  the  neck  and 
shoulders  thoroughly,  also  wipe  the  col¬ 
lar  dry  and  don’t  let  a  lot  of  sweat  and 
dirt  aeeutmilale  On  it;  keep  it  clean. 
Bathe  the  horses  this  way  at.  least  once  a 
day  when  first  putting  them  into  hard 
work,  whether  they  show  any  signs  of 
galling  or  not.  Often  a  span  of  young 
colts  will  he  nearly  ruined  by  their  shoul¬ 
ders  getting  so  sore  when  first  put  into 
heavy  work,  while  if  bathed  with  the 
cold  salt  water  and  dried  before  using 
and  again  on  coming  in  the  barn  the  hide 
would  soon  become  tough  and  hard. 
Binghamton,  N.  Y.  F.  ir. 
Tour  advice  is  excellent.  We  have 
used  and  prescribed  cold  salt  water  many 
times  as  a  preventive  of  sore  shoulders 
and  necks  and  also  the  advice  to  keep 
the  harness  clean  and  dry.  Filth,  accu¬ 
mulated  sweat,  hair  and  dandruff  com¬ 
monly  start  the  sores  nr  “galls”  and  pre¬ 
vention  is  far  more  important  than  cure.
