Live Stock Matters. 
FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
Feeding Rye. —I have fed rye one- 
third, oats one-third, corn and cob one- 
third, ground, to my milch cows, from 
early in November to the present time. 
They have done better every way, than 
ever before, are better flesh, give more 
milk and more butter. I feed three 
quarts twice a day, with dry corn fodder. 
I tried the rye as an experiment, be¬ 
cause I could not sell it, and had too 
much for horse feed. h. j. s. 
A Rat Cube. —To keep our buildings 
clear of rats and mice, we get three male 
kittens whose dam is noted for her hunt¬ 
ing. Feed from the table three times 
daily, and with milk twice. When about 
half grown, we castrate them, and con¬ 
tinue to feed liberally, and give them 
liberty to run wherever rats or mice con¬ 
gregate. Cats so treated, if like the 
Ohio cats, will be the admired ones on 
account of their size and habit of being 
at home ready for business. f. p. 
Ohio. 
To Kill Lice. — Tell that farmer that 
is ti'oubled with lice on his stock, to get 
one-half pound of quassia chips, steep 
two hours in four quarts of water, wash 
the stock thoroughly, and it will fix the 
lice the first time ; it has for me. m. k. 
Athens, Mich. 
I think that Persian Insect Powder, 
sprinkled along the backs of cattle from 
head to tail, once a week, for three 
weeks, will clear the lice out with little 
trouble. It is quickly and easily done. 
V. L. G. 
If M. W. S. will use Pyrethrum or in¬ 
sect powder for cattle lice, he will find it 
a sure cure. I take a little of the powder 
in my hand and rub it into the hair of 
the animal on the neck, shoulders and 
other places where the lice are to be 
seen. It is equally effective on colts and 
chickens. I have never tried it on hogs. 
A second application of the powder is 
sometimes necessary to kill the nits not 
hatched at the time of the first applica¬ 
tion. The advantage over an emulsion 
is the convenience in applying it, and it 
may be applied in the coldest weather 
without danger or trouble. g. w. b. 
Wolverton, Minn. 
A Calf Without Milk. —We have a 
half-blood Holstein calf about 10 weeks 
old. She was started on eight quarts of 
new milk, shading of into Blatchford’s 
Calf Meal. The milk was soon taken 
away, and as the meal ran out, she was 
taught to drink hay tea and eat a dry 
mixture of bran, ground oats and corn 
meal. At present, she has five ounces 
of oil meal in two feeds, scalded and 
thinned, followed by what warm water 
she will take ; then nine ounces of bran 
in two feeds after the water. She eats 
hay freely, and has never had a sick day 
—hardly an off day. She grows fairly, 
is lively, but of course, no one need mis¬ 
take her for a milk calf. Rones and 
belly are quite pronounced. Would it 
be judicious and profitable to give the 
little calf all the bran she will eat ? Can 
the oil meal be increased? Would you 
advise any corn meal ? k. l. s. 
Massachusetts. 
Ans. —We never have used Blatch¬ 
ford’s Calf Meal, hence cannot speak re¬ 
garding it. E. L. S. seems to have had 
very good success in raising the calf 
without milk. We have known of similar 
methods being adopted before, with 
reasonably good results, but not under 
our own charge. The linseed meal is 
excellent, but we think that a small 
amount of it, cooked and mixed with 
the clover tea—clover being better than 
Timothy — would be desirable. The 
amount to be used will depend upon the 
digestive organs of the calf, the attend¬ 
ant being the judge in this respect. The 
bran ration, we think, could be increased, 
as the calf increases in age and size. If 
this should be continued after the calf 
gets on grass, we think that it would 
grow rapidly, and gain in flesh.

Bluepoint, L. I., N. Y., Jan. 15, 1894. 
Dr. B. J. Kbndaw, Co.—I bought a splendid bay 
horse some time ago with a Spavin. I got him 
for $30. I used Kendall’s Spavin Cure. The 
Spn vin is gone now and I have been offered $150 
for the same horse. I only had him nine weeks, 
so I got $120 for using $2 worth of Kendall’sSpavin 
Cure. W. S. Marsden.
