Dysentery 
I have a five-year-old cow that I have 
owned since she was one year old. She 
has always had diarrhoea, A. D. 
New York. 
Chronic dysentery, such as you de¬ 
scribe. suggests Johue's disease, with the 
exception that that malady usuallj proves 
fatal in a few mouths. It is also infec¬ 
tious. so that other cows would he likely 
to contract the trouble. A pathologist 
might be able to determine the presence 
of the disease by microscopic examina¬ 
tion of scrapings of mucous membrane 
from the rectum. Your veterinarian 
could arrange for that if he suspects the 
presence of Johue’s disease. There is no 
remedy for that ailment. Meanwhile iso¬ 
late the cow. and twice daily give her 20 
drops of beeehwnod creosote, oue-lmlf an 
ounce of oil of eajepnt, and two ounces 
of cottonseed oil, Iuerease to three doses 
a day. if found necessary. Fluid extract 
of eucalyptus does fairly well, and may 
be used instead of eajeput. if that drug is 
not readily obtained or too dear. In 
similar diarrhoea wc give an adult cow 
a mixture of two parts of prepared chalk, 
and one part each of powdered alum, sub- 
nitrate of bismuth and powdered catechu 
in her feed two or three times daily, until 
scouring subsides. Better stop feeding 
bra and buckwheat.

Blood in Milk 
Can you tell us what to do for our 
cow? She is ~V '2 years old; had her first 
calf last May; appears perfectly healthy. 
Twice during the Summer she gave bloody 
milk from one teat; quite bloody at first, 
then it gradually wore away. There was 
no swelling. Lately it occurs frequently, 
with little, stringy lumps, and the strings 
mav be plainly felt in the teat. 
Maryland. MRS. R. H. B. 
Blood is most commonly found in milk 
just after a heifer calves for the first 
time. The cause is rupture of tiny blood 
vessels in the udder from excessive pres¬ 
sure of blood. Sueli congestion soon 
passes off and the mbk clears up. In the 
case described, the bleeding either comes 
from growths in the teats or is caused 
by chronic mammitis (garget), which is 
practically incurable. If the growths 
are at or quite close to the opening of the 
teat, they may perhaps be removed hv use 
of a cone-shaped scraping instrument 
which is kept by veterinarians for the 
purpose. If they are high up, it would be 
best to let a calf nurse or to dry off the 
milk secretion in the affected quarter. 
The latter would also be the proper course 
to take if chronic mammitis is the cause. 
That may he suspected, seeing that the 
milk is stringy and the udder lumpy 
when handled.

No Cash—No Interest—No Deposit 
Our prices are opening the eyes of the farmers everywhere—manufacturers are amazed 
—they wonder how we can do u—perhaps you want to know. 
First we took for a basis the present low cost of material and labor—we installed mod¬ 
em machinery to cut manufacturing cost—we reduced our overhead—we cut all possible 
expense of selling by shortening tho mute between Factory and Farm. All this together 
with the loss we took on inventory, made these rock bottom money-saving prices possible. 
Then we inaugurated a plan of extending farm credit—which means you can buy 
now on our early order special “Discount Flan''—pay later—no cash—no deposit—no 
interest and terms that any fanner can meet. 
Three Wonderful Silo Bargains

Dog Fleas 
My collie pup has fleas. The pup 
scratches and seems to be worried all the 
time. I notice when rubbing my hand 
over his body that bis skin has a lot of 
small, hard lumps underneath it. What 
is the proper food to give this pup? 
New York. R. o. s. 
Tub rhe dog in a solution of coal-tar 
dip made according to instructions given 
by the maker; or dust freshly powdered 
pyrethrum into the infested parts of the 
coat, working it into the skin, and then 
blanket The dog. Next day thoroughly 
brush the dog after a good combing. Do 
this outdoors. Then repeat the treatment 
if some fleas are left. The irritation 
caused by rhe fleas has induced the little 
lumps in the skin. Dust some flowers 
of sulphur in the dog - bed. and keep it 
as clean as possible. The treatment for 
fleas has to he repented occasionally to

Garget 
I would like to know what is good for 
the garget iu cows. I have given them 
formaldehyde and saltpeter, hut it does 
not help. The cows do not eat for two 
or three days at a time. G. s. 
New York. 
Germ infection is the cause of garget 
or mammitis so severe that the.cow when 
attacked stops eating and chewing the 
cud. Isolate affected cows. Perfect re¬ 
covery i« rare. Hypodermic treatment 
with mastitis bacteria may help, and is 
worth while having it applied by your 
veterinarian if the cows are valuable. 
Also have him inflate affected udders with 
vaporized ether. This is readily done by 
means of a special apparatus now for sale 
by makers of veterinary instruments. Ir¬ 
rigation of the udder with a Mood-warm 
three per cent solution of boric acid may 
also help in the worst eases. Strip the 
milk away every two hours, catching it 
in a vessel containing a disinfecting solu¬ 
tion. and then destroying the milk, which 
is unfit for any purpose. Twice daily 
rub into the affected quarters a mixture 
of equal quantities of earbolized oil. cam¬ 
phorated oil. and compound soap liniment-
