More milk-less cost 
Silage means more milk because 
it’s moist and green and healthful. 
Silage means less cost because it 
saves on grain, hay and high- 
priced mill feeds. 
A Harder Silo means the best 
silage because the smooth round 
wooden walls keep out the air, 
keep in the heat and allow perfect 
fermentation.

Ailing Animals 
By Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Mange; Fly Repellant 
1. Can you tell us something that will 
cure mange on a dog? 2. Give something 
economical to spray the cows with in fly 
time. j. e. M. 
1. Fairly effective mange remedies may 
be bought at tile drug store ready for use 
and with full instructions as to tjle proper 
method of application. In many instances, 
however, true parasitic mange is not: pres¬ 
ent. the suspected disease being eczema, 
a constitutional disease usually induced 
by overfeeding, constipation and lack of 
exercise, or by the feeding of potatoes or 
corn meal, which are unsuitable feeds for 
the dog. True mange is permanent, and 
also is communicable to other dogs. Ec¬ 
zema. on tiie contrary, tends to subside 
in Winter, or if present in Winter, may 
subside in Spring, and it is not. con¬ 
tagious. As you do not give a description 
of the symptoms or condition present, in 
the ease to be treated, and do not tell us 
how you feed and manage the dog, we can 
only give advice on general principles. 
Clip off the hair and tub the dog in a 
hath of coal-tar dip made according to 
directions given by the manufacturer, or 
lather him with tincture of green soap 
when in the bath of hot water, after clip¬ 
ping. and' scrub with a hard brush to re¬ 
move all scales and scabs or crusts. When 
dry, rub some of the follow! r ointment 
upon the affected spots of the body: Pre¬ 
cipitated calcium carbonate, 10 parts; 
sublimed sulphur. 15 parts; oil of cade. 
15 parts; green soap, .*JO parts, and un¬ 
salted lard, 50 parts. .Mix the last three 
ingredients first; then thoroughly rub in 
the first two. Repeat the application 
once daily for three days; then repeat 
the washing of the jlog, and afterward 
apply the ointment as" often as seen to be 
necessary, ijet the clog live an outdoor 
life, and tuke active exercise daily. Feed 
one small meal each evening. 
2, Commercial or proprietary prepara¬ 
tions are advertised iu many farm and 
stock papers, and are, as a rule, effective 
and comparatively cheap. If it is desired 
to prepare a fly repellant at home, the 
following is recommended : Goal tar and 
fish oil. of each, 4% qts.; kerosene and 
whale oil, of each, 3 qts.; oil of tar. 
1 V -2 qts.; laundry soap, 3 lbs. Dissolve 
the soap in hot. soft water, add the other 
ingredients, and then dilute with 30 gals, 
of soft water. Apply twice daily with 
spray pump. Another formula is: Kero¬ 
sene. 1 gal.; powdered naphtbalin, 3 oz. ; 
laundry soap, I lb. Dissolve the soap in 
hot. soft water. Dilute to 1 gals. Both 
mixtures should be well shaken each time 
before use. 
Lame Cow 
I have a valuable Guernsey cow that 
has become lame in hind foot; cannot see 
anything the matter. It was slightly lame 
in the morning ,und very lame at night; 
keeps taking foot up. Gould you suggest 
: anything? What are symptoms of foot 
rot. and what is a remedy? I)n C s foot 
swell with that? This foot is not- swollen 
any yet. We cannot see anything that 
may have been stuck into foot. S. II. 
In a mysterious case of lumeuess, such 
tis you describe, the lirst step always 
should he to examine the foot. To do this 
the cow must he cast or restrained ; then 
the foot should bo cleansed and ail for¬ 
eign matters removed from between the 
toes. If nothing is then found, the next 
step should lie to piiieli the foot lightly 
with large pincers, sc as to bring pressure 
in succession upon each part, of the sole. 
The veterinarian has special pincers for 
this sort of work, and the effect of pinch¬ 
ing is to make the animal flinch when the 
sore spot is reached. If a sore spot is 
thus found, the born of the s«de should 
he pared thin until tilt punctured wound 
is exposed. When litis is done Mood, pus 
"i* serum may escape from (lie wound, 
which should next be well swabbed with 
tincture of iodin after opening it suf¬ 
ficiently to insure drainage Afterwards 
the wound should be covered with a mix¬ 
ture of one port. *»f iodoform and seven 
parts of powdered boric acid, or with ab¬ 
sorbent cotton, to be kept saturated with 
a solution of live parts of carbolic acid, 
three parts of formaldehyde, and 100 
parts of water. The cotton is kept in 
place by means of a narrow bandage 
passed between the toes, criss-crossed and 
then tied around the pastern. When 
powder is applied, it is kept in place by 
covering with a layer of sterilized cotton 
secured by bandaging. This dressing lias 
to be changed daily. Foot ror, or “fouls,” 
is indicated bv lameness, swelling of the 
hoof-head and pastern, heat, pain and 
formation of pits, which burrows under 
the wall and sole. In some cases ulcerated 
Sores are seen on the fine skin between 
the toes and on the coronet (hoof-head). 
Treatment consists in scraping sores 
clean, cutting away all loose, rotten or 
under-run horn of sole or wall, swabbing 
the exposed purls, ami then wrapping the 
foot in absorbent cotton and bandages to 
be kept constantly wet with the carbolic 
acid-formaldehyde solution. If no punc¬ 
ture of the sole or evidence of fouls is 
found, and you think the foot is the seat 
of the injury, hot. poltiees of autiphlocis- 
tiue kept upon the part may give relief.
