Every farmer should have a copy of 
the new Buckeye Cultivator Cata¬ 
logue, and get posted on the most 
complete line of cultivators on the 
market. After reading this cata¬ 
logue, he should go to his local 
dealer and insist on seeing the Buck¬ 
eye. 
It makes no difference what kind 
or style cultivator you want, you will 
find it in the Buckeye Line. 
Buckeye Cultivators have the ma¬ 
terials in them that insure years of 
hard service. 
Buckeye Cultivators do their 
work right, without killing man or 
team.

Depraved Appetite. 
1 HAVE a Jersey heifer eight months 
old, which began to gnaw boards last 
August and continued to do so all the 
Fall and up to the present time, in the 
meantime losing flesh and appetite. She 
was fen milk until six months old. was 
kept in the barn during the Summer. 
Can you tell me what is the trouble, also 
give cause and treatment? L. r,. T. 
New Hampshire. 
Feed wheat bran freely along with 
other nutritious meals and grains. Mixed 
rations tend to prevent depraved appe¬ 
tite. Also allow free access to slaked 
lime, salt and charcoal. Give her plenty 
of clover hay and if possible add roots to 
the ration. 
Fistula of Milk Duct. 
I HAVE a very good cow that has a 
hole in the side of one of her teats, 
from which milk flows continuously. 
Is there any cure or remedy for this? 
Cow is running dry. J. F. 
New York. 
When the cow is dry have the lining 
of the false opening or duct well cauter¬ 
ized with caustic potash, or a thermo¬ 
cautery, or operated upon by a skilled 
veterinarian. Meanwhile bind a strip of 
surgeons’ tape or plaster around the part. 
Sweeny. 
I HAVE a four-year-old geldiug badly 
sweenied. What is the best treat- I 
inent for speedy cure? n. L. 
New York. 
If you care to give us full particulars | 
including history of case and supposed 
cause we may be able to give you advice. | 
Sveeny often is due to chronic foot lame¬ 
ness. 
Spavin. 
I HAVE a driving man* due to foal in 
four months. She started a bone spavin 
last June. The veterinarian blistered 
it in June, and I left her in the pasture 
for three months, but it didn’t seem to 
help her any. I have been driving her 
a little every day since the first of Oc¬ 
tober. She goes a little lame all the 
time. She is the worst when she first 
starts out and steps on her toe for a 
little way. The enlargement is very small 
and is low down on the hock. It seems 
to have grown a little in the last few 
weeks. Is there anything I can do for 
it? M. F. 
Massachusetts. 
Have the spavin and the hock joint 
tired and blistered by the veterinarian, 
and then tie the mare up short in her 
stall for a six week’s rest. Absolute rest 
for that length of time or longer is ne- j 
eessary for the successful treatment of , 
lamesness due to bone spavin. 
Goitre. 
W E have a fine 3 Va months old calf 
that has a lump the size of a me¬ 
dium orange under her neck a little 
to the right in line with the ear. She 
has been fed by the light of lantern, 
morning and night and as her appetite 
was good and she was growing fast no 
special notice was taken of her. The 
lump appears the size of an egg from the 
outside, but on examination we find the 
greater part of it is inside. She eats 
well and acts well, and with another of 
same age is kept in a large pen, in a large 
airy stable; has clean soft bedding given 
every day; the best of Alfalfa hay kept 
before them all the time, and for the first 
three months skim-milk night and morn¬ 
ing. When weaning them we gave a 
little feed—oil meal, oats and bran; now 
we give each two generous quarts a day 
and turn them out at noon to help them¬ 
selves to water arid take exercise for 20 
minutes if the weather is mild. We have 
no competent veterinary near, but have 
been helped many times in various ways 
by your advice to others in The R. N.-Y. 
New York. J. M. R. 
We suspect that a thyroid gland is en¬ 
larged. constituting goitre, which in this 
case does not seem to be serious. Clip 
the hair from the part and swab it with 
tincture of iodine every other day. It 
should gradually reduce in size until nor¬ 
mal, especially if you can let the calf 
run outdoors for exercise. 
Bowel Trouble. 
I HAVE five yearlings that have bloody 
dysentery. All were in good flesh 
and hearty, have been fed on good 
quality of Timothy or Red-top hay. I 
disinfect stable with dry chloride of lime. 
The first one that came down nine or 10 
days ago does not show any more blood. 
They get very thin and I am now feeding 
grain mixture, wheat flour, corumeal, 
dairy middlings and wheat bran. a. j. s. 
The proper feeding of these yearlings 
should have been done right along. They 
should not be expected to thrive when fed 
only on Timothy or Red-top hay. That 
is poor stuff for young growing animals. 
Stop feeding the hay you have beeu using 
and substitute mixed clover hay or Alfal¬ 
fa hay, adding roots or silage, whole oats, 
wheat bran, cornmeal and oil meal. Med¬ 
icine will not then be necessary, but free 
access to rock salt should be allowed. 
Take the chill off the drinking water. 
Keep the calves off grass and out of corn¬ 
stalk fields. A. s. a. 
There’s a Big 
in Silage 
The succulence and palatability of perfect ensilage 
produces maximum results at a low feeding cost. 
No other feed contains as much "succulence value’ 
as well preserved ensilage. It is the most economical 
feed for summer as well as for fall and winter. But 
there’s as big a difference in silage as there is in silos. 
Build your silo of material that lasts for generations 
and keeps ensilage as fresh and succulent — all the 
year — as the day the corn was cut. Erect a 
Natco Imperishable Silo 
The silo that’s made of vitrified hollow 
clay tile, whose glazed surfaces do not
