QUESTIONS ABOUT BUTTER MAKING. 
Can I get a churn that will make 75 
pounds butter at one churning, to be run 
with a gasoline engine? I want a churn 
that I can, if possible, work and salt the 
butter in before removing. Will it be prac¬ 
tical to run my skim-milk from my sepa¬ 
rator to the hog lot through a galvanized 
iron pipe, a distance of 150 feet? There is 
no fall, but I have an air pump and pro¬ 
pose to use pressure if practical. 
Perryman, Md. v. B. 
I would advise you to buy a round 
churn with as little iron on it as pos¬ 
sible. Get one on which the cover 
screws down, rather than where it is 
fastened with clamps. When worn, the 
latter sometimes come off, which means 
a loss of butter, and temper as well, as 
the writer can testify. A round churn 
is more easily kept clean than one with 
square corners. In it you can salt the 
butter and work it with little trouble 
on the worker afterward. A churn that 
will work the butter after churning is 
not made in that size, and they will cost 
you many times as much as a simple 
revolving one for the smallest make, if 
I am not mistaken, one that will handle 
150 pounds at a churning. I am sure 
with your small dairy and engine you do 
not want a combined churn and worker. 
I doubt if it will pay you to run a pipe 
to your hog lot, as you suggest, and go 
to the expense of forcing the milk 
through it. Theoretically it seems nice 
to think of having to carry no skim- 
milk out; just force it through a pipe. 
Practically I am sure it will be a source 
A Case of Sweeney. 
I have a fine three-year-old mare; just 
broke her to work this Spring. She is high- 
strung, and did more than her share, and 
went lame in her right shoulder. I took 
her io a young veterinarian, he told me 
to blister the shoulder three different 
times, but it does not seem to improve 
any. Iler shoulder has shrunk away some, 
and she is still lame. Can she be cured? 
Indiana. w. a. k. 
In the first place it should be under¬ 
stood that the muscles of the shoulder 
waste away in chronic cases of foot lame¬ 
ness, so that it is always important to 
make sure as to the exact location of the 
cause. In sweeney the muscles waste away, 
and lameness may be absent, and indeed 
seems to be absent in a majority of in¬ 
stances, the wasting being associated with 
injury to the trunk nerves of the affected 
part. If the shoulder is in this particular 
case known to be the real seat of the 
lameness blistering was indicated and 
should have been followed by beneficial re¬ 
sults. If the cause of lameness is else¬ 
where the blistering would of course prove 
useless. Blistering, however, also is in¬ 
dicated for stimulating wasted muscles to 
develop again, and where it fails to accom¬ 
plish this, more stringent measures have to 
be adopted, such as the injection of small 
quantities of turpentine under the skin of 
the wasted part or puncture-firing with a 
thermo-cautery and then the application of 
a blister. The attending graduate veterin¬ 
arian must be trusted to give the proper 
treatment, as that can only he decided up¬ 
on after a careful examination. a. s. a. 
Ringworm. 
I have a fine large heifer calf three 
weeks old, which I wish to grow to a 
cow. ns its mother is' a very fine cow, hut 
not pure blood. The sire had a large num¬ 
ber of scurfy spots on legs and body where 
the hair was either all out or coming out. 
looking like a dog with the mange, other¬ 
wise healthy. Now at three weeks, the 
hair is half off of the calf’s head, but no 
spots on body. Can it he cured? 'Would 
you raise the calf or sell it at six weeks 
for veal ? There is not a spot on its 
mother, and never has been. p. j. s.

of annoyance and contamination. The 
pipe and pump will mean one more 
thing to look after and keep in order. 
Unless it is 'scalded out every day, it 
will soon become foul, and be likely to 
poison your skim-milk with toxins, and 
perhaps give you a lot of germs in 
your dairy room, which may ruin your 
trade. Some one may tell you to run 
live steam through the pipe and it will 
be all right. I know better. Unless you 
run a good stiff brush through as short 
a connection as the faucet to a milk 
tank, you will •soon have bad milk, no 
matter how mucn steam you put 
through. • EDWARD VAN ALSTYNE.

By nil means raise the calf. The bull 
had nothing whatever to do wfth the 
present condition of the calf’s skin, as 
such troubles are not hereditary. It prob¬ 
ably is a simple case of ringworm, and 
may easily be cured by putting the calf 
into a clean, dry box stall, and after 
cleaning and scrubbing the affected parts 
of the skin for removal of scales and scabs 
rub in a little iodine ointment two or three 
times a week until well. True mange is 
due to a parasitic mite; ringworm to a 
vegetable parasite (Trieophyton tonsurans! 
which lives on damp walls and woodwork 
as well as on the skins of animals. If the 
calf has not ringworm, which is most com¬ 
mon during the Winter season, it may have 
some simple form of eczema which in 
time will disappear without treatment.

Wind Galls. 
I have a mare that got into a mire 
about two weeks ago and it seems she 
strained her hind ankles, as there are soft 
bunches on them, I think they are called 
wind puffs. Is there anything I can do 
to take them down ? The bunches are on 
the hack part of the kind legs, about four 
Inches above the ankle joint. Can any¬ 
thing be done to remove them entirely?

us how he seeds his crop? 
Axs.—We seed with oats. We pre¬ 
pare the ground just as we would for 
the oats alone, which usually follow 
corn or potatoes. We do not use lime 
or inoculate the soil, though I know 
that in some localities this is necessary. 
The oats are sown alone about the 
middle of May. After about a week, 
or just before the oats show, we go 
over the piece with a two-horse weeder 
with seeding attachment. This imple¬ 
ment sows the seed ahead of the weeder 
teeth, which break the crust and cover 
the seed just right. We sow about eight 
quarts of Alfalfa and two quarts of 
Timothy to the acre. That is the whole 
process. We use no commercial ferti¬ 
lizer at any time, and no stable manure 
at the time of seeding Alfalfa. We 
sometimes spread a little manure on 
Alfalfa fields when we have no other 
place to put it, but have never been 
able to see any effect from it. This is 
our method of seeding Alfalfa, and we 
can ask for no better results. We are 
When established there is no cure for 
such puffs which are distensions of the 
sheaths of the tendons of the parts' in¬ 
volved. Apply cold, wet compresses with 
pressure from bandages and flat corks, and 
when inflammation subsides blister the parts 
after removal of the hair. This may help 
in new, accidental cases, hut fails in those 
that have been established for any length 
of time. The puffs' are a blemish, but 
rarely cause lameness when chronic.

above method, we have never failed
