W HEN the new-design International 
Manure Spreader came on the market in 
large numbers about two years ago, it 
immediately met with such an enthusiastic 
demand that dealers could not begin to fill 
orders. This machine marked a great advance 
in good spreader building and the farm public 
was quick to realize it. 
Stop at the McCormick-Deering dealer’s 
store and find out the reason for this pronounced 
success. Study in detail these great features: 
1. Roller bearings at seven points. 
2. Power delivered from both wheels. 
3. Double ratchet drive with six feed speeds. 
4. Short turn front axle; no pole whipping. 
5. Rear wheels track with front wheels. 
6. Tight bottom. 
7. Two beaters and wide-spread spiral. 
8. All-steel main frame. 
The International Manure Spreader is a 
wealth producer; it will return extra bushels 
from the same land; it will return its price over 
and over and add to your bank account. 
And its price has been cut down to an 
attractive low figure. That is another detail 
you will find to be true in connection with the 
International at the store of your McCormick- 
Deering dealer.

lodging between the toes and scratching 
and wounding the skin. In many in¬ 
stances we ha ir e found that cows having 
to wade through filth, manure and mud 
to get into the stable have been the ones 
most affected with this disease. Treat¬ 
ment necessitates confining the cows to 
the stable until practically well. Each 
affected foot must he perfectly cleansed, 
after restraining the cow in stocks or 
casting her, unless she is well advanced 
in pregnancy. Every particle of rotten, 
loose or under-run hflrn of wall or sole 
must he out away with a clean, sharp 
horseshoer's knife. When this has been 
done exposed diseased parts should be 
scraped clean and the foot then immersed 
for two or three minutes in hot water 
containing two ounces of sulphate of cop¬ 
per (biuestone) pep pint. On removal 
from the solution the affected parts of the 
foot should lie covered with sterilized cot¬ 
ton to be kept in place by criss-crossing 
a narrow bandage between the toes and 
then tying it around the pastern. After¬ 
ward I his dressing or pack is to be kept 
constantly wet with a lotion composed 
of five parts of carbolic acid, three parts 
of formaldehyde and 100 parts of water. 
As soon as it is found that the foot is 
healing nicely the pack may he removed 
and pine tar applied two or three times 
a week, but this should not be done until 
pus has ceased to form. In some cases 
the paring of the foot may have to he re¬ 
peated and in very severe conditions the 
veterinarian may have to amputate a toe. 
That has been done with good success, 
and the cow gets abort well afterward.

Chronic Indigestion 
I have a mare eight or 10 years of age. 
weighing about 1.100 1 Vis., which is greatly 
bothered with intestinal gas. She was 
in poor shape when 1 bought her last 
February, having been let out as a driv¬ 
ing horse to anybody and everybody. Sbo 
is an exceptionally good roadster and 
was used for bay-rack parties, which kept 
her out late nights, and she was used to 
work in daytime. Consequently, although 
well fed, she was worked to death. Now 
she is in good llesh. and working every 
day, but. of course, her fat is soft, having 
been put on so rapidly, I feed 12 qts. 
oats, sometimes a little wheat bran, and 
all the hay she wants. Hay is sweet and 
clean, hut not best quality. Some days 
she seems to be all right and wants to 
work, as she is a willing animal. 
Maine. J. l. w. 
The mare is affected with chronic indi¬ 
gestion, indicated by formation of gas in 
the stomach and intestines and weakness 
for work is the natural consequence. It 
will take some time to correct the trouble, 
but it should prove curable if you follow 
these directions: First, have the mare 
clipped. That alone often greatly benefits 
indigestion. Next, have her teeth put in 
order by a veterinarian, so that she will 
he able perfectly to masticate her feed. 
Then let. her occupy a box stall when in 
the stable: bed it with shavings or saw¬ 
dust and feed the bay from the floor level. 
That induces a free flow of saliva, and 
that always helps in a case of indigestion. 
If she holts her feed, which we suspect is 
the case, feed it from a large, shallow box. 
Reduce the hay ration to not over 1 lb 
for every 100 lbs. of her body weight, 
(live most of this hay at night, and none 
of it at noon when she has to work hard, 
and do not work her soon after a meal. 
Feed a similar allowance nf oats. So far 
as possible, allow the drinking water be¬ 
fore meals, unless water is accessible at 
all times. Have her work or take outdoor 
exercise every day. Carrots would be 
bciiclicinl, Wet all feed with limewater. 
which you can make by slaking u lump 
of shell lime as large as a walnut in each 
quart of water. I.et the lime settle; then 
use the clear liquid that collects on top. 
Whou these matters have been attended 
to and carried out for two weeks, should 
Hie mare still show an abnormal forma¬ 
tion of gas, mix in each feed of oats u 
lablespooufiil of a mixture of two parts 
of powdered wood charcoal and one part 
each, by weight, of bicarbonate of soda 
anil powdered nux vomica, hydrastis and 
fenugreke. Continue this medicine for 
two weeks; then stop for two weeks, 
when the powders may be given again if 
found necessary.
