The 800.000 contented American

60 to 110 bushels oats and 46 to 60 
bushels barley, besides having splendid 
herds of cattle raised on the prairie grass. 
Dairying Is an Important Industry. 
The crop of 1908 still keeps Western Canada 
in the lead. The world will soon look to it as 
its food-producer.

AILING ANIMALS. 
Rickets in Hogs. 
I-ast October I purchased two pigs six 
weeks old, put them in a pen, with an out¬ 
side lot for exercise, fed them corn, 
middlings, milk and offal from the kitchen. 
They both did nicely until January 20, 
when oue of them became lame and in a 
few days lost the use of its hind legs 
altogether. I could see no reason for this 
condition that was apparent from the out¬ 
side. I removed the ailing one to a sepa¬ 
rate pen, where it could be altogether on 
the ground, kept if warm and dry, fed 
copperas and sulphur, and later, thinking 
it might have worms, gave it a small dose 
of arsenic as prescribed by a local drug¬ 
gist. Until this time, March 30, the pig 
had a healthy appetite and was steadily 
growing and taking on fat, although it 
had never walked since the beginning of 
the attack. After the arsenic the pig re¬ 
fused food and in three days died. I dis¬ 
sected it, found all the organs in healthy 
condition excepting on the hind legs just 
above the knee there was a small lump 
1 which on examining proved a spongy mass 
and the hones of the hind legs up to the 
backbone were decayed, being soft and 
| spongy. The other bones looked normal. 
. Can you tell me what caused the affliction 
and the name of the disease? Is there a 
! cure for it, and is the other pig liable to 
infection ? h. B. b. 
West Virginia. 
You describe a most interesting case of 
I rickets, such as we have many times come 
across in practice, and to which lard hogs 
I have an inherent tendency in many in¬ 
stances. It is brought out by lack of ex¬ 
ercise and malnutrition. Usually the hogs 
get too much corn, which is lacking in 
earthy, hone-making materials; or they are 
given sour slop aud buttermilk, or slop 
containing lactic acid, and the acid acts 
chemically upon the sparse amount of 
earthy matter so that the bones are starved 
of necessary strengthening material, or the 
animal actually may rob its bones of phos¬ 
phorus needed for nutrition. To offset the 
tendency to this disease the hogs should 
have free range or ample exercise every 
day, and instead of living on corn and in¬ 
complete rations should have a balanced 
ration containing such nitrogenous foods as 
middlings, tankage, bran, ground oats, flax¬ 
seed meal. Alfalfa and clover. Cornmeal 
may he added in small quantities to give 
the necessary amount of starchy food. 
Lime water should bp freely added to the 
slop daily and the slop should be fed in a 
fresh, sweet state. At once commence feed¬ 
ing new milk and lime water and gradu¬ 
ally add the meals. There is, however, 
little chance of saving a hog when at¬ 
tacked, hut the other pig may not go down 
if you feed it as suggested. a. s. a. 
Periodic Ophthalmia. 
I have a young mare five years old this 
Spring. I purchased her last .Tune. She 
had not been used much. When I com¬ 
menced working her and got her warm one 
of her eyes watered and of a morning 
would be full of matter. In a week or ten 
days the eye cleared up bright. A few 
times when I drove her a long distance 
when tlie weather was warm the eye wa¬ 
tered a little. She would look sleepy and 
when standing in the sun would keep her 
eyes shut. She showed no more signs of 
weakness until I commenced plowing this 
Spring. After getting her warm the other 
eye commenced to water and show signs 
of weakness. She holds it shut most of 
the time when standing. I had her wolf 
teeth taken out last June. She Is a little 
hard to keep in order, but has a good ap¬ 
petite. nickers for her feed when I go to 
the stable. She is a very high-spirited 
animal. What can I give her to clear up 
her eyes? She has small eyes, but good- 
looking eyes with the exception of this 
watering. a. l. s. 
Ohio. 
The mare is afflicted with “periodic oph¬ 
thalmia." and “wolf teeth" have nothing 
to do with it, nor do wolf teeth ever have 
any effect upon the eyes. The disease is 
commonly termed “moon blindness” and 
will result in loss of the sight of one or 
both eyes after repeated attacks. An af¬ 
fected mare or stallion should not be used 
for breeding purposes. Blindness may be 
retarded bv rubbing the eyelids once daily 
with a little of a mixture of one part of 
citrine ointment and two parts of lanolin. 
At time of _ attack give a dram of iodide 
of potash night and morning in water and 
keep the eyes covered will) a soft cloth to 
be kept saturated with a lotion composed 
of half a drain each of sulphate of zinc 
and fluid extract of belladonna leaves, 10 
drops of carbolic acid and one quart of 
cold water. When the Inflammation sub¬ 
sides paint the eye once daily for ten 
days with a solution of two grairis of ni¬ 
trate of silver in an ounce of distilled 
water to be kept in a blue glass bottle to 
prevent chemical changes. Darken the 
stable. Feed bay from floor to keep dust 
and chaff out of eyes. a. s. a. 
Chorea in Dog. 
Fan you tell me what to do for a dog 
that seems to have kidney trouble? He is 
now _fivp months old. About two months 
ago is Hie first I noticed anything wrong 
with him. TTe grits his teeth together 
continually and*cannot walk; bis bind legs 
get weak and he falls over. Sometimes be 
bowls as if in pain. I have been giving 
lnm turpentine, but it does not seem to do 
any good. He is continually getting worse. 
Pennsylvania. , T . w . 
The disease is not apparently kidney 
trouble, and if it were turpentine would 
he about the worst possible medicine to 
g’ve. It would be like pouring kerosene 
upon a fire to put it out. We take it as 
most likely that the disease is chorea (St. 
Vitus’ dance), and that is practically in¬ 
curable. It usually attacks susceptible 
dogs following a sickness from distemper, 
or when they are debilitated by reason of 
worms or some other irritating cause. 
Hive him a full dose of castor oil in milk 
and follow with 20 drops three times dailv 
of the elixir of calisnya bark, iron and 
strychnine in a thin soup or warm water. 
Feed him generously, but so as to keep 
the bowels active. TTe should be outdoors 
as much as possible, but be kept from wet 
aiul damp. The tendency to the disease is 
decidedly hereditary. a. s. a.

Economy Chief doesn’t outskim, outrun and 
completely outclass the other machine in daily 
use on your farm, send it back and keep the 
other machine. 
Ask any one of the igj^ooo Economy 
Separator users what he thinks about it.
