Ailing Animals. 
Worms in Fowls , 
Will you give me a common easily-given 
remedy for worm in fowls? They are about 
the size of a large needle, and four to six 
inches long. I have noticed a few in the 
d.oppings, which have been too soft for the 
past year, and birds have not done well 
either, yet are fat. I keep only a few. 
Wilkesbarre, Pa. j. p. t. 
I should judge that your fowls have 
the round worms, Heterakis, and the 
chances are that they also have some of 
the tapeworms. It is said that chopped 
onions and potato peelings, cooked and 
fed to fowls occasionally, are of much 
value. I have had good results from the 
use of powdered santonin in seven and 
ei^ht grains for each bird, made into pills 
with flour, and given for the round worms. 
Powdered pomegranate root hark mixed, 
jn the feed at the rate of one teaspoonful 
to 50 hens, is of much value for tape¬ 
worms, and follow either treatment with 
Iwo or three teaspoonfuls of castor oil. 
I know very little attention is given to 
the internal parasites, and I think they 
cause as much trouble as the external. 
M. D. WILLIAMS, D. V. S. 
Warts on Cattle. 
Will you tell me what to do to remove seed 
warts from cattle? I have a two-year-old 
heifer which has a number of seed warts like 
one's thumb, and has a number right together 
on her left shoulder that cover a space larger 
than a man's hand, and one on right hind leg 
forward of gambrel joint like a hen's egg. I 
have a yearling that has some also. What 
remedy can you give? c. e. y. 
Cobleskill, N. Y. 
The best way to remove warts is with 
a pair of curved scissors, or with a com¬ 
mon pair of scissors, cutting out the 
hard parts in the skin when they are 
small. They can be removed by means of 
ligatures or by the application of caustic 
agents, but it is a slow process, and not 
always satisfactory. If a ligature is used 
it should be tightened every third day, and 
very close to the skin. In regard to the 
cluster on the two-year-old that you say 
is as large as one’s hand, the chances 
are that you will never get the hair to 
grow there, and it will always be an un¬ 
sightly looking spot. It might be well 
to remove the tops of the warts and re¬ 
place her with another animal.

BRzEDS OF SHEEP AND HOGS. 
What breed of sheep would be most satis¬ 
factory for one to raise*with the following 
results In view : Hardiness, largest size, pro¬ 
lificacy, for handling for the Increase and not 
for registered trade? Also same points on a 
breed of hogs. j. a. s. 
Cincinnati, O. 
In answering the first part of the ques¬ 
tion, I would refer the writer to page 
918 of The R. N.-Y., where in answer to 
the query of a New Hampshire reader, I 
have briefly described the characteristics 
of the most popular breeds of sheep. Un¬ 
less he wishes to raise early Iambs, I think 
the Cheviots would meet his requirements. 
They are hardy, good size and prolific. If 
he wishes any further details as to the 
breed or their management, I shall be 
glad to give such information as I can 
through the columns of The R. N.-Y. 
As to breed of hogs, there are three 
general types; the whites, represented by 
the Chesters, a good-sized, symmetrical 
hog, easily fattened, and I would place 
them at the head of the list of this color. 
The Cheshires are, however, a close sec¬ 
ond, not quite so compactly built, and re¬ 
quiring a little longer time to develop, 
but growing a very long carcass, particu¬ 
larly suited for bacon. With many the 
Yorkshires are very popular, and we have 
seen many fine specimens of this breed, 
but there are so many types, large, me¬ 
dium and small, that in many cases the 
only marked feature is their peculiar short 
face and turned-up snout. 
At the head of the blacks stand the 
Berkshires, a small-boned, yet good-sized 
hog; perhaps one that will lay on more 
flesh for the food consumed than any. 
They are short-legged, and give a par- j 
ticularly well-shaped and developed ham. 
For family use they are inclined to make 
rather too fat pork. Next come the Po¬ 
land Chinas, a larger and coarser hog, 
having in them much Berkshire blood, 
yet mixed with other breeds until a dis¬ 
tinct type has been formed. To-day they 
will usually breed true, and for those 
wanting a black hog larger than the Berk¬ 
shires, with many of their good charac¬ 
teristics, this hog will fill the bill. 
1 he Durocs, often called “Jersey Reds,” 
are the best representatives of the red 
hogs. W hile not quite as compact as the 
Chesters or Berkshires, they are a close- 
built hog, fatten very easily, do particu¬ 
larly well on grass, or as a grazing ani¬ 
mal. 1 hey have a very large proportion 
of lean meat, which makes ideal family 
pork. I he sows are very prolific, but 
inclined to lay on fat, so that great care 
must be exercised in the feeding before 
farrowing time. Of course “there are 
others, and while no breed is without some 
point of excellence, for practical utility 
we should not look beyond those above 
mentioned. edward van alstyne. 
A BALANCED RATION FOR MILK. 
We can sell our oats at 32 cents a bushel, 
and buy bran at $20 a ton; oil-cake meal at 
$32 a ton. We have cornstalks; about two- 
thirds of them have fair-sized ears ; also Tim¬ 
othy hay and oat straw. We run a dairy, 
and wish to get a balanced ration for milk. 
Ingersoll, Ont. a. w. h. 
I should sell the oats, and not buy 
wheat bran. With the coarse feeds on 
hand, having very little protein, we must 
put with them the very richest protein 
feeds obtainable. Buy cotton seed, gluten, 
linseed oil meal or oil cake meal, or dried 
distillers’ grains. The following would be 
approximately correct : 
5 lbs. Timothy _ 
In lbs. corn stover. 
5 lbs. straw . 
3 lbs. oil meal. ... 
3 lbs. gluten feed.. 
1 lb. cotton seed..

1 his ration will probably be short on 
dry matter. Give all the Timothy or 
stover they will eat up clean, and they 
will no doubt eat more than I have 
named, and so get dry matter enough. 
This will reduce the protein a trifle, but 
not to endanger the ration. Watch the 
cows, and change to suit them; weigh 
each cow’s milk, and note changes when 
feed is changed. If the hay, straw and 
stover are not in the best of condition no 
possible addition will make full flow.

Orange-Box Nests. —In “The Business 
Hen'' the orange-box nest is criticised. I use 
them almost entirely, but lay them on the 
side and have a board four or five inches wide 
nailed on the open part to make the nest. Then 
if I wish to use them for sitting hens I have 
a cleat put on each end outside this board, 
and a loose board put above will keep the 
hens in and other hens out. My hens have 
been laying more since the book was re¬ 
ceived ! b.

Gentlemen:—Having two fine and valuable horses which had 
been lame with Spavin for nine months, I sent to the druggist 
at Decatur for a bottle of 
Kendall’s Spavin Cure 
which in six weeks removed all lameness and soreness, and 
both horses are sound as colts. The one bottle was worth 
9 1 OO to me. You may use my name at any time you wish. 
Very truly yours, P. H. SEGLER.
