several  times,  but  lately  they  are  so  sore

They  are  covered  inside  with  small  scabs. 
What  should  I  do  to  cure  this?  w.  B.

Restrain  the  horse  and  perfectly 
cleanse  the  cars,  removing  all  of  the 
scabs.  Wood  alcohol  and  a  swab  of  cot¬

Melanotic  Tumor 
What  can  be  done  for  a  cancer  on  a 
horse’s  tail?  It  is  about  the  size  of  a 
small  egg,  and  lias  been  there  for  nearly 
two  years.  At  times  it  discharges  mat¬ 
ter  and  then  heals  for  a  while.  B. 
New  York. 
If  the  tumor  is  far  from  the  root  of  the 
tail  have  the  tail  amputated  above  the 
growth.  Tf  this  cannot  be  done  have  tiie 
tumor  dissected  out  by  a.  veterinarian, 
and  the  wound  well  cauterized.  The  ten¬ 
dency  is  for  such  melanotic  or  pigment 
tumors  to  return  when  cut  out..  They 
occur  upon  the  black  skin  under  the  tail 
of  an  old  gray  or  white  horse.  A.  s.  A.

I  have  a  licifcr  just,  a  little  over  two 
years  old  and  when  her  milk  is  run 
through  the  separator  it  leaves  blood  and 
some  thick  stringy-looking  stuff  sticking 
to  the  machine.  Could  you  give  me  a 
remedy  for  it?  Do  you  think  the  milk 
fit  for  use?  She  seems  to  be  in  good 
health.  She  has  been  this  way  for  a 
month  or  two.  What  can  he  done  for

Keep  a  separate  sample  of  milk  from 
each  quarter  of  tl  •  udder  to  determine 
which  is  giving  abnormal  rnilk.  The  milk 
from  that  quarter  is  unfit  for  use  aud 
should  be  discarded.  If  all  quarters  give 
abnormal  milk  do  not  use  any  of  jf,  but 
dry  off  Hie  secretion  and  fit  the  cow  for 
the  butcher.  If  ouly  one  quarter  is  af¬ 
fected  it  would  be  well  to  dry  off  the 
secretion  and  beef  the  cow  as  soon  as  her 
flow  of  milk  proves  unprofitable,  1 11

Essentials  For  Success. — The  needs 
of  a  buying  club  of  any  size  are  in  the 
;  two  main  essentials  the  same  as  in  all  co¬ 
operation:  first,  good  management;  sec¬ 
ond,  loyalty  of  the  members.  Both  these 
qualities  develop  by  training.  lienee  the 
advantage  of  beginning  in  a  small  way 
and  expanding  as  conditions  may  war¬ 
rant.  Dismal  failures  have  occurred  by 
trying  to  do  too  much  and  too  many 
things  at  the  start  and  by  trying  to  han¬ 
dle  a  large  group  which  had  not  grasped 
the  main  ideas.  But  any  club,  however  had  a  discharge  from  tiie  nose  for  three  or

is  carried  on  with  non-members,  A  me¬

of  10  cents  per  ton  a  mile  and  no  charge 
is  made  for  10  bags  of  grain  or  similar 
large  purchases.  At  the  time  of  the 
writer’s  visit,  coal  was  being  sold  for 
$7.10  per  ton,  but  not  delivered,  a  car¬ 
load  at  a  time  being  taken  to  the  most 
central  point  and  carted  home  by  the 
members.  The  very  important  feature 
for  cash  payment  is  secured  by  requir¬ 
ing  those  who  do  not  wish  to  pay  for 
every  trade  separately  to  maintain  a  suf¬ 
ficient  cash  balance  to  cover  purchases  in 
advance.  What  money  is  left  at  the  end 
of  the  month  is  returned.  Some  of  the 
business  is  done  on  a  xuargiil  of  2%  per
