iVart on Cow. 
I have a cow that has a wart growing on 
one of her teats. The roots grow into the 
end of teat and stop the flow of milk. I 
have tried almost everything. What would 
you advise me to do for it? The wart has 
been on about a week. a. w. 
I.udlowville, N. Y. 
Apply night and morning, after milk¬ 
ing, a lotion of carbolic acid one part, 
and castor oil three parts, well shaken 
up together. 
Horse Out of Condition. 
I have a mare 11 years old; she has been 
out of condition since last November with 
some kidney or bladder disease. Her coat 
is smooth but her body Is thin; eyes dull; 
has not much life In her; seems to be stiff 
through the body and down the hind legs; 
is not weak in the back; passes urine 
often but little at a time. Has not a very 
good appetite; lies down during the night 
as usual; goes on the road as if tired. I 
do not work her much at present. I have 
been feeding various kinds of condition 
powders, but all failed. I feed her three 
quarts of wheat bran and corn and oats 
daily, and all the upland hay she will eat. 
Is there any medicine that will cure her? 
Libertyville, Ill. a. s. 
Give one of the following powders in 
feed twice daily: Powdered nux vomica 
and nitrate of potash, of each four 
ounces; gentian and ginger, of each 
eight ounces; mix and divide into 1^4 
powders. 
Horses Fait to Shed Coat. 
My horses do not shed their hair well 
every Spring. One is a gelding, nine years 
old; he does not digest well, but is in good 
flesh and stands work. Another is a mare 
with foal; she has a spot that is a little 
scabby on udder and neck She is eight 
years old. The third is a colt that will be 
one year old In May that looks rough and 
drowsy; it seems to have worms. The last 
is a mare; she is otherwise all right except 
in shedding. I feed corn for grain and 
corn fodder and cut sheaf oats. Give cause 
and treatment. reader. 
Give one of following powders in feed 
once daily (the colt should receive only 
one-fourth of a powder): Arsenic, two 
drams; powdered nux vomica, four 
ounces; gentian, 16 ounces; mix and di¬ 
vide into 40 powders. The animals 
should receive a thorough grooming 
daily. Replace one-naif of your corn 
with oats or bran, or a mixture of 
both. A handful of oil meal added to 
the grain ration twice daily will ma¬ 
terially improve the appearance of the 
coat. 
Indigestion in Cows. 
Several of my cows, one after another, 
lose their appetites; eat hay well, but not 
silage or grain, especially grain. Feed 
three quarts twice per day when they will 
eat it; gluten, oat feed, bran, corn meal and 
linseed. Feed seems to do them no good; 
they grow poor and shrink in milk. They 
grate their teeth, frequently; sometimes 
are troubled with a good deal of gas. 
Voidlngs for the most part are natural. 
Bright and active, but coats rough. They 
have roomy, light, sunny and well-venti¬ 
lated stable. Some of them when turned 
out eat dry leaves and such rubbish. What 
Is the trouble, and what the remedy? Are 
cows ever afflicted with stomach and in¬ 
testinal worms? If so, what is the remedy? 
Holden, Mass. h. a. r. 
The cows are suffering from indiges¬ 
tion. There would appear to be some 
fault in the care or feeding of the cows, 
possibly in the feed itself, but what I am 
unable to say from your description. 
Call in a competent veterinarian person¬ 
ally to examine the herd, and the condi¬ 
tions under which they are being fed 
and cared for. 
SILAGE AGAINST STONE WALL. 
B. W., on page 213, asks what to do 
about silo with a stone wall at the bot¬ 
tom. Prof. Clinton thinks that possibly 
air gains entrance at the junction be¬ 
tween wood and stone. This is probably 
the source of the trouble, rather than 
the stone wall itself. In our silo at my 
old home we had a clay bottom, a clay 
wall plastered with cement on one side 
for about seven feet in height, stone 
walls on two sides 10 feet high, and the 
remainder of the 25 feet was two thick- 
iiesses of lumber with tarred paper be" 
tween. The joint between the stone wall 
and the wood was made as shown in 
Fig. 120. A represents the stone wall, B 
double plank for sills, C studding, D and 
F the two courses of boards, with the 
tar paper, E between them. G repre¬ 
sents patent dovetailed lathing, which 
is simply good stock boards with dove¬ 
tailed grooves to hold the clinches of 
the plaster. This lathing was put on 
in place of the inside boards for about 
1^2 foot above the wall, and lapped over 
the joint between stone wall and sills— 
a jog being left in the stone wall for the 
purpose, as shown in Fig. 120. Then the 
inside of the wall was plastered with a 
coat of cement, which was run up as 
high as the patent lathing, as shown. 
This made a perfect joint, and we never 
could see any difference between the 
silage which was against the wood or 
stone or clay. About two feet of silage 
was once left in the silo three years, and 
was in perfect condition against the clay 
bottom. J. M. DKEW.

Soiling and Pasturing.— An acre of 
ground is in grass or some cultivated 
forage crop. You cut this green fodder, 
carry it to the stock and let them eat it. 
That is soiling. You turn the stock Into 
the field and let them eat the crop at will 
—that is pasturing. Which is more profit¬ 
able? The Nebraska Experiment Station, 
after testing it carefully, says: "A com¬ 
parison of the relative amounts of feed 
produced by several forage crops when 
pastured and when soiled indicated that 
the latter practice secures two to three 
limes as much feed from the same area of 
land The same tests indicated that the 
average daily production of milk and but¬ 
ter fat was greater for the same feed when 
the cow was pastured than when soiled. 
This on an average amounted to 1.17 times 
greater butter-fat production from the 
pastured than from the soiled crop."

South Dakota Adds Another Stone to 
the United States Triumphal Arch 
A separator contest was held at Oneota Hall, Aberdeen, S. D., 
March i 8 , 1901 , to determine the comparative merits of the United 
States, Sharpies and DeUaval Separators. Mr. A. W. Burnham, 
a prominent and well-known citizen, was appointed by the farmers 
and separator men present to act as “Dairy Expert” and take 
charoje of the contest and give official results of the same. As 
will be seen by the report given below,

( GEO. W. Mantor, C. a. McArthur, 
The United States run over its highest advertised capacity 
and skimmed the cleanest while the others run under their 
advertised capacity. 
Notice how much larger capacity the U. S. gives for the 
money, in addition to its cleaner .skimming, than the others. To 
have equalled the United States it would have been necessary for 
The DeLaval to have skimmed at the rate of 610 lbs. instead of 448 lbs.

When a dealer charges you from 
35 to 50 per cent more for a car¬ 
riage or harness than we would 
charge you direct for the same, 
or better, you are certainly being 
held up. This however, is not 
the dealers fault. He must live,
