AILING ANIMALS. 
Pining Cow. 
1 HAVE a cow about eight years old 
that does not eat very much, drinks 
little. She is due to come in in 
March and she gives very little milk 
now ; she usually milks right to the last 
day. I would like advice what to do. 
New Jersey. a. t. 
It would he impossible for anyone to 
give a confident opinion in such a case 
without making a personal examination, 
but it may be that the cow has tubercu¬ 
losis. It therefore would he well to have 
her tested with tuberculin. The dis¬ 
ease is incurable and if found present 
the cow should be destroyed. If she 
proves to be free from the disease and 
her teeth and tongue are not affected 
she may do better if you give her twice 
daily in a pint of thin oatmeal gruel a 
tablespoonful of a mixture of one part 
of fluid extract of nux vomica, two parts 
of fluid extract of gentian root and five 
parts of pure alcohol, as a tonic. Tempt 
her appetite with various feeds. 
Wart on Mule. 
I HAVE a mule that has a wart on his 
ear. I have pulled it off several 
times and burned the place with sul¬ 
phuric acid but it comes back as bad as 
ever. How can I remove it? 2. I 
would like to know of a good mixture of 
healing powder for sores and galls. 
E. M. 
1. After removing the wart cauterize 
the base with lunar caustic pencil and 
repeat the application if the. wart is 
seen to be growing again. Nitric acid 
should be used in place of sulphuric acid 
for burning a wart. 2. A good cheap 
dressing powder for such sores is made 
by mixing together equal parts of sul¬ 
phur, powdered wood charcoal and slaked 
lime. A more expensive one is made by 
mixing together one part each of iodo¬ 
form, tannic acid and calomel and five 
parts of boric acid. a. s. a. 
Dog With Eczema. 
A N Airedale pup has been suffering 
from mange, which is now improved. 
About three weeks ago I noticed 
pimples filled with matter on belly which 
afterward turned to small sores and 
spread to different parts of the body and 
head, also the eyes watered and there 
was a disagreeable odor. In the morn¬ 
ings she seems much worse, lazy and 
swollen and stiff in the hind quarters. 
I have given her two pills of gunpowder 
which has put some spirit into her. but 
some days she goes back again. What 
should be done? F. C. 
New York. 
Make the pup live an outdoor life 
and stop all rich feeding. Make it take 
abundant exercise every day. Feed one 
small meal each night. If you feed milk 
or porridge and milk mix limewater in 
each feed. Keep the bowels active, if 
necessary giving a little epsom salts in 
water or soup to bring that about. Once 
a week tub the pup iu a 1-100 solution of 
coal tar dip and then apply sulphur oint¬ 
ment to the sores as often as found ne¬ 
cessary. Use benzoated oxide of zinc 
ointment twice a week on any obstinate 
sores. A. s. A. 
Bloat. 
W HAT was the matter with my heifer 
calf born last March? One morn¬ 
ing when I fed the calf milk she 
was in her usual health. I had her tied 
with a long rope near my house. At 
night when I was about to feed her 
which was twice per day, I noticed she 
was breathing hard and was bloated; 
the next morning the calf was dead. 
Could anything have been done to save 
this calf? E. A. A. 
New York. 
Indigestion was the cause of bloat, 
possibly induced by drinking too much 
milk quickly. It is best to feed milk 
three times a day and make the calf 
suck it from a rubber teat, or at least 
drink slowly. “Tapping” the paunch 
with a trocar and canula, for removal of 
gas. might have saved the life of the 
calf, or possibly the operation might 
have been obviated by giving a table- 
spoonful of turpentine in four ounces of 
raw linseed oil, or half a pint of new 
milk. a. s. A. 
Injured Eye. 
M Y four-year-old colt showed one eye 
partially closed, and on examina¬ 
tion I found a slight cut on lid, 
which was somewhat swollen, also a 
light-colored spot over about half the 
eyeball; eyeball is not broken, only 
watery discharge from it. I washed fre¬ 
quently with salt and water; swelling is 
better, but would like advice. Appar¬ 
ently injury was done by whiplash. 
J. H. B. 
In such a case a compress of absorb¬ 
ent cotton or soft cloth saturated with a 
soothing lotion should he tied over the 
eye and kept wet with the lotion. A 
suitable lotion should contain half a 
dram of sulphate of zinc. 10 drops of 
carbolic acid, 18 grains of sulphate of 
morphia and one quart of water. If the 
eye is opaque or cloudy after the inflam¬ 
mation subsides wet the eyeball once 
daily for 10 days with a solution of two 
grains of nitrate of silver in an ounce of 
distilled water to be kept in a blue glass 
bottle. A. s. A. 
The Prosperous Farmer 
Is the Wise Feeder 
And wise feeding now-a-days means constant crowding. You 
must keep your stock in condition with keen appetites for every 
meal. Make Xtra-Vim Feed a part of the daily ration and it will 
turn the trick for you and will keep the stock free from digestive 
and intestinal troubles. 
Xtra-Vim Feed is a concentrated pure Porto Rican Cane Molasses

Moss, which is a fine digestive agent and improves the effect 
of the total ration. 
XTRA-VIM FEED 
is a 1004 value food. Contains no cheap non-nutrient fillers, is not only 
highly palatable and nutritious itself, but renders other foods more palat¬ 
able and more easily digested. It replaces pound for pound of more ex¬ 
pensive grains selling at war prices and causes a general improvement in 
the health of the animal. 
Xtra-Vim is dry to the touch and is put up in 100-pound bags. No freight 
on barrels, no leakage, no loss from sticking. ■ *---*
