Four divided by .40 equals 10 pounds 
of 40% cream possible. 
The more fat cream contains the less 
a quart of it will weigh, hence : 
One quart of 20% cream equals 2.1 
pound. 
1 quart of 30% cream equals 2.07 
pounds. 
One quart of 40% cream equals 2.01 
pounds. 
20 divided by 2.1 equals 0.5 quarts 
20% cream from 100 pounds 4% milk. 
13.3 divided by 2.07 equals 6.4 quarts 
30% cream from 100 pounds 4% milk. 
10 divided by 2.01 equals 4.9 quarts 
40% cream from 100 pounds 4% milk. 
II. F. J. 
Dairying on Long Island 
I have a small farm here on Eastern 
Long Island which has been in my family 
for years, and has always been my home. 
I would like to improve this farm, but 
am not willing to engage in truck farm¬ 
ing. Is there any way that a man could 
take land worth .$200 an acre and keep 
purebred Jersey cows and hogs, and make 
a profit? Milk is worth 10 cents a quart 
but there is demand only three months in 
the year. It does not seem possible that 
butter can be made here in competition 
with “real” dairy sections. In fact it 
has been tried and found a failure. There 
seems only one chance, and that is to con¬ 
tract with a first-class restaurant or club 
in New York City for cream to be shipped 
by express to arrive in city about 11 
a! -m. Is this feasible and if so how 
could the idea be started in a small way 
or in other words how small could one 
start? c- 
Long Island. 
The trouble in a small farm in that 
section would be to find cheap feed. You 
can build a silo and grow corn and also 
mangels, but unless you can grow Alfalfa 
the hay question on a high-priced farm 
would be a hard one. A trade could no 
doubt be secured for cream—with the 
skim-milk fed to pigs—but on the whole 
such a plan is not very promising. The 
dairy business, ordinarily, belongs to 
cheaper land. 
Dishorning Wound 
I have a fine Jersey cow about nine 
years old ; two weeks ago I had her horns 
removed by a veterinarian. She was all 
right for a week, but recently a thick 
jelly-like substance began coming from 
the* right side with a froth. I went im¬ 
mediately to the doctor who took off the 
horns. He gave me a wash to inject into 
the opening. One day she will be much 
better, then it will come on again. Can 
you suggest anything for such a case? 
New York. w. s. A. 
If a horn stub is present it should be 
sawed off close down to the skull; then 
cleanse the wound and cavity perfectly, 
inject a two per cent, solution of per¬ 
manganate of potash and soak oakum or 
absorbent cotton in a like solution and 
bind on the wound. Repeat the cleansing 
and dressing once daily. If no stub is 
there, foreign bodies, such as dirt, hair 
or horn Scraps or dust have fallen into 
the cavity and should bo removed ; then 
give the treatment here prescribed. 
Scours 
I have a horse 15 years old used for 
a driving horse, but lately it driven far 
scours badly. He is fat and feels good. 
I am feeding six quarts of provender per 
day and the best Timothy hay; average 
to drive five or six miles a day. I have 
let him feed in yard some, but not over 
15 minutes in a day. C. w. II. 
Massachusetts. 
Feed a mixture of whole oats and one- 
ninth part of wheat bran by weight, al¬ 
lowing one and one-fifth pounds of this 
for each hundred pounds of body weight 
as a day’s ration. In the same way feed 
one pound of hay per hundred pounds of 
body weight. Increase hay and decrease 
the grain mixture when the horse is idle. 
Let him run out in the yard daily, when 
not at work and when the weather is fine. 
Muzzle him between meals if he eats his 
bedding. Allow free access to rock salt. 
Give the drinking water before meals, 
unless lie has access to pure water at all 
times. Have his teeth attended to by a 
veterinarian and if he bolts his feed mix 
some hard peas with it or put it in a 
very large box, or have some cobble 
stones in the feed box. A. S. A. 
Thrush 
Will you* advise me how to treat a 
horse with thrush in its hind feet? I 
have been advised to use two ounces blue 
vitriol dissolved in pint of water poured 
into the foot, but am not satisfied with 
the results from it. ii. G. s. 
Massachusetts. 
Thrush is due to wet and filth in the 
stall. Do away with such a condition 
and bed with sawdust or planing mill 
shavings. See that the horse is well ex¬ 
ercised every day, thoroughly groomed, 
properly fed and that the stable is light 
and well ventilated. Cleanse the cleft 
of the frog and then pack in calomel, to 
be kept in place by pledgets of oakum or 
cotton and 'renewed once daily. It is not 
wise to use sulphate of copper (blue- 
stone) in powder or solution, as it can¬ 
not be controlled, and is liable to pene¬ 
trate deeply and do more harm than good. 
Calomel, on the contrary is drying and 
healing without being caustic. If calomel 
proves to be too expensive use a mixture 
of one part of chloride of lime and two 
parts each of finfiely powdered slaked 
lime and boric acid. A. s. A. 
Hair Falling Out 
I have a colt, is in the best of health, 
works well, but the hair is coming out 
of his mane and tail. I had him treated 
for mange, but it did no good, and the 
veterinarian does not seem to know what 
it is. J. R. 
New York. 
Bathe the tail and mane with cold 
water once or twice daily and then brush 
vigorously. Groom the colt once daily. 
Do not feed corn in Summer and see that 
the colt runs out daily and has a clean, 
light, well-ventilated stable. If this treat¬ 
ment does not suffice pour on and rub in 
twice a week a mixture of one part of 
kerosene and two parts of machine oil. 
A. s. A. 
Worms 
A horse eight years old is infested with 
worms. I have given iron filings pretty 
regularly with no apparent effect. He 
keeps in poor flesh. His condition has 
continued for some time; shall be glad of 
advice. T. h. 
Virginia. 
Have the teeth attended to by a veter¬ 
inarian. After starving the horse for 18 
hours give two ounces of turpentine 
shaken up in a pint of raw linseed oil or 
a quart of new milk. Give it slowly and 
carefully to prevent choking. In 24 hours 
give in the feed night and morning for a 
week one tablespoonful of a mixture of 
equal parts of salt, sulphur and dried sul¬ 
phate of iron (copperas), then skip ten 
days and repeat the treatment. Omit iron 
for a mare in foal and increase the salt 
and sulphur. A. >s. A. 
Paralysis 
Will you advise what to do for a brood 
sow with litter of pigs, which is affected 
in the following manner: Seems to have 
no use of two hind legs, eats well and 
roots while lying down ; feeds little, will 
move around by crawling with front 
feet, seems to be in pain when moving 
about. b. k. 
New Jersey. 
f 
Wean the pigs at once. As often ex¬ 
plained here this form of paralysis at¬ 
tacks pampered sows, from pampered 
stock, when they are weakened and made 
nervous by the drain and strain of nurs¬ 
ing pigs. Stuffing sows in pig on corn, 
or other rich feed and keeping them con¬ 
fined to a pen or small lot, induces the 
trouble. It does not attack sows that 
are fed mixed rations and made to take 
abundance of exercise every day. Physic 
the sow and then feed milk, middlings 
and a little flaxseed meal. Add an ounce 
of lime water to each quart of slop fed. 
Rub the loins with liniment once daily. 
As chances of recovery are somewhat 
poor you may prefer to kill the sow for 
meat, provided she is in good flesh, and if 
so the liniment should not be used.
