Win CASE 
Supremacy 
Since the very invention of the 
traction engine, the name of 
CASE has stood for unchallenged 
supremacy. In power plowing, as 
in every other field, CASE Steam, 
Gas and Oil Tractors have won 
through actual performance. 
Cost per acre plowed is one com¬ 
mon method of comparing tractors. 
Countless working tests and public 
contests have proven CA SE supe¬ 
riority here. 
Working speed is the second big 
consideration in a tractor for plow¬ 
ing. CASE holds records for the 
greatest average number of acres 
plowed per hour. 
Lasting quality is the third 
and greatest consideration in choos¬ 
ing a tractor. CA SE would win on 
its lasting quality alone, even if it 
did not lead in the other two big 
points. Durability is the one great¬ 
est CASE consideration. 
CASE 25 H. P. Gat Tractor 
20 Years 
In the Making 
CASE does its own experimenting— 
and at its own expense. 
Proof of this important fact lies in 
this 25 H. P. Gas Tractor. 
It was so thoroughly worked out and 
pro%'ed before its public introduction 
that it immediately outclassed all com¬ 
petitors. Small in weight, fuel consump¬ 
tion and repairs, but large in power and 
durability. The 'Tittle CASE, 25” is built 
like a big CASE. Greater value cannot 
be given. 
A CASE for Every Purpose 
CASE Gas and Oil Tractors are as 
superior in their class as CASE Steam 
Tractors always have been in the steam 
class. Made in 60 and 40 H. P. for Oil 
or Gas, 25 II. P. Gas, and from 30 to 110 
H. P. for Steam.

AILING ANIMALS 
Tumor. 
I HAVE a colt, two years old this 
Spring. About three months ago I 
noticed a small bunch on the outside 
of one thigh about half way between the 
stifle and hock. This has increased in 
size, is hard and seems to be grown fast 
to the thigh-bone. I have never known 
of any injury to the colt, which is run¬ 
ning loose in box stall. lie does not 
seem to be lame nor mind anyone’s nib¬ 
bing the bunch. I have tried liniments, 
but they seem to do no good. Could you 
tell me what to do? E. L. M. 
New York. 
This is an unusual growth and prob¬ 
ably resulted from a blow. If you think 
it best to give treatment clip off the hair 
and blister it with a mixture of one dram 
of biniodide of mercury and one ounce 
of lard. Rub the blister in for 10 min¬ 
utes or more: then tie the colt up short 
in stall so that he will not be able to 
rub or lick the part. Wash the blister 
off in three days and then apply a little 
lard daily. Repeat the blister several 
times if necessary, at intervals of three 
or four weeks. 
Worms. 
I HAVE four hogs, one year old last Oc¬ 
tober. I am trying to fatten them on 
corn; two of them do not eat corn 
enough to fatten. I also have a sow two 
or three years old I wish to fatten; she 
will not eat corn or drink slop enough 
to make her fat. Can you give me a 
remedy for the hogs? J. P. M. 
Virginia. 
Intestinal worms probably are present 
in those hogs. Starve them for 24 hours 
and then give in a little slop eight grains 
of santonine and five grains of calomel 
for each hundred pounds of body weight. 
Repeat in two weeks if thought neces¬ 
sary. Make them take lots of exercise 
every day. If snow is deep sprinkle 
whole oats and shelled corn on a big 
barn or shed floor, cover with litter and 
let the hogs root for the grain. Feed 
mixed meals in slop made up with hot 
water and add 10 per cent, of tankage. 
Feed the slop fresh. 
M Y Airedale terrier seems to go into 
convulsions occasionally. He got 
into a fight three or four weeks ago, 
and from the way he came home he must 
have been clubbed over the head, and 
ever since that he does not seem just 
right. He also seems to have an itch¬ 
ing skin, especially on his back, although 
on examination there are no external 
sores or any parasites. He is three years 
old. Is there any danger of a dog de¬ 
veloping rabies in one of those convul¬ 
sions? G. z. 
Ohio. 
Rabies is caused by the bite of a rabid 
animal, or inoculation. The fits can have 
no such effect. If the fits have been 
caused by an injury to the head the dog 
should be kept quiet and be very lightly 
fed, and may then recover in time with¬ 
out any treatment. More likely the fits 
are due to indigestion and worms. Feed 
one small meal each night and make the 
dog live an outdoor life. Starve him for 
24 hours and then give half a dram of i 
freshly powdered kainala in a little soup j 
and repeat the dose in 10 days. 
Lameness. 
I HAVE a Percheron brood mare eight 
years old which was lame when pur¬ 
chased. She has good feet, but is still 
lame, and apparently stiff, being worse 
at times, more in the right foreleg than 
in the others. There are no ridges in 
the hoof or sore places anywhere that I 
can discover. Both shoulders are shrunk¬ 
en but the skin seems to be loose. She 
does not point with either foot, will step 
over an object without hitting it, but 
generally will step with the left foot first 
over an object. She will stumble am 1 go 
very lame for a few stops and is much 
worse upon side-hill ground and in turn¬ 
ing around. She will appear to be gain¬ 
ing for a few days sometimes and then 
will be as bad as ever again. I have 
treated her according to direction of the 
veterinarian, bathing her shoulders with 
hot water and liniment. He gave me no 
encouragement of curing her, as he con¬ 
sidered it chronic, having been of so 
long standing. Another veterinarian 
said that lie could cure her with one treat¬ 
ment, and that if she was cured in the 
left shoulder she would he all right in 
the other. He said that he would use a 
hypodermic injection, and would cure her 
for $10. I fear that he would do her 
some injury that would make her more 
worthless than she now is. Is there any 
known remedy that could be used in the 
way he suggested without danger of in¬ 
jury, or are my fears unfounded? 
G. b. n. 
The proposed treatment is a hypoder¬ 
mic injection of turpentine to cause irri¬ 
tation with the hope of stimulating the 
wasted muscles. It is not indicated in 
this case, which appears to be one of 
chronic founder. Clip the hair from the 
hoof-heads of both fore feet and blister 
several times at intervals of 10 days to 
two weeks, using cantharidine blistering 
salve. Blister one foot at a time. In 
founder the stiffness is greatest at start¬ 
ing and the horse tends to walk on the 
heels. A. s. a.

P ICTURE to yourself the difference in the amount 
of actual work done, between setting milk in 
any of the old-time ways and skimming it with an I H C 
cream separator. What a job it is to wash the pans or 
crocks. How many handlings they need. What a lot of time it 
takes to fill them and set them away, to protect them from dirt, to 
do the actual skimming, to dispose of the cold skim milk, to purify 
the crocks or pans. 
Now note the difference. With an I H C separator the milk is 
skimmed while still warm from the cows, the separator is washed in 
a few minutes and everything is ready for the next milking. 
You want the separator that will help you most. There are other 
things than the saving of work to be considered. There is saving 
of cream, value of the machine, service in case of accident, and 
many other things to be thought of before you buy a separator. 
Take time enough to buy a cream separator. The more carefully 
you go about it, the more comparisons you make, the more clearly 
you will see that one of the International Harvester separators— a 
Dairymaid, Primrose, or Lily, will serve you best. See the 1 H C 
dealer. Get catalogues from him or write to us for them.
