Worms in Mare 
I have a mare, and she has worms. I 
got some tablets from the veterinary, but 
she will not eat them. (They arc given 
pulverized in a handful of grain.) Would 
like to know if you can suggest anything 
that you think would rid her of them. 
New York. L. s. 
If the mare is not iu foal, withhold 
drinking water until she is quite thirsty 
and then allow no other water until she 
has drank 15 quarts containing 15 grams 
of tartar emetic. That is the dose for a 
heavy draft horse. If the mare is light 
in weight, give her 10 grams of tartar 
emetic, or less, if she is quite small. Re¬ 
peat- the dose in two weeks. If she is 
with foal, she may safely take two drams 
of (lowers of sulphur and four of salt in 
her feed each evening for a week, and 
again for a week after an interval of 
10 days. As she may also be harboring 
pin worms in the rectum, it might be well 
to inject two-thirds of a pailful of luke¬ 
warm water containing two ounces of 
dried sulphate of iron. Pin worms cause 
tail-rubbing and stamping or kicking in 
the stable.

and drags her hind feet. She has a good 
appetite, and eats well, And at the pres¬ 
ent time I am feeding corn fodder and 
corn on the ear. Can you tell me the 
cause of this lameness, and what will pre¬ 
vent it? L. M.

1. If you are sure that the eye was 
scratched, the host treatment at the time 
would have been to have covered the eye 
with a soft cloth, to be kept constantly 
wet with a lotion composed of 30 grains 
of sulphate of zinc, 30 drops of fluid ex¬ 
tract of belladonna leaves, and 10 drops 
of carbolic acid in a quart of cold, soft 
water. 'Where there is great, pain, it is 
better to dissolve 10 grains of morphine 
in the water instead of belladonna ; but 
it has to be otbuined from a veterinarian 
who has a permit to buy narcotic drugs. 
We suspect, however, that the horse is 
really affected with periodic or recurrent 
opthalmia, commonly called “moon blind¬ 
ness.” Attacks recur once a mouth or 
thereabout, and eventually cause cataract 
and blindness of one or both eyes. The 
disease is incurable, but blindness may 
be retarded somewhat by putting a little 
bit of one per cent yellow oxide of mer¬ 
cury ointment in the corner of the eye 
once daily, and also smearing some of it 
on the eyelid. At the time of attack the 
ointment should be applied two or three 
times daily, and a veterinarian should 
give hypodermic treatment with the new 
biologic against the disease. 
2. It. is to be suspected that the mare 
has occasional attacks of lymphangitis, 
commonly called "Monday morning dis¬ 
ease.” It usually attacks a hind leg, 
but sometimes occurs in a front one. It 
is caused by letting the horse stand for 
a day or more without work or exercise 
during which time the usual ration of 
grain is fed. To prevent attacks, never 
let the mare stand idle for a single day, 
and when there is no work for her to do, 
stop all grain feed. If possible, substi¬ 
tute oats and bran for corn and bay for 
fodder, and also feed carrots. Tf an at¬ 
tack conics on. bandage the leg with soft 
straw or hay rope from foot to body, and 
keep it saturated with cold water in Sum¬ 
mer or hot water iu Winter. In the 
drinking water dissolve a tablespoon of 
saltpeter twice daily, and if the attack 
is very severe, have a veterinarian give 
such other treatment as he considers 
necessary.

That’s another advantage of the Harder Silo. 
It’s easy to take down and re-erect. It goes 
wherever you go. Imagine such a thing with 
a concrete, tile or brick silo. 
The Harder Silo makes the best silage because the 
staves are strong and tight. It will withstand a 
cyclone and last a lifetime because of its sturdy con¬ 
struction and firm anchor-
