Canadian Farmers 
Profit From Wheat 
The war’s devastation of European 
crops has caused an unusual demand 
for grain from the American Con¬ 
tinent. The people of the world must be 
fed and wheat near $2 a bsshel offers great 
profitstothe farmer. Canada’s invitation 
is therefore especially attractive. She 
wants settlers tom ake money andhappy, 
prosperous homes for themselves by 
helping her raise immense wheat crops. 
Yon can get a Homestead of 160 acres FREE 
and other lands at remarkably low prices. During many 
years (Canadian wheat fields have averaged 20 bushels to 
the acre—many yields as high as 45 bushels to acre. 
Wonderful crops also of Oats, Barley and Flax. 
Mixed farming as profitable an industry as grain rais¬ 
ing. The excellent grasses full of nutrition are the only 
food required for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools, 
churches, markets convenient, climate excellent. 
Iililitary service is not compulsory in Canada, but there 
la an extra demand for farm labor to replace the many young 
men who have volunteered for the. war. The Government ia 
urging farmers to putextra acreage into grain. Write for litera¬

AILING ANIMALS 
Indigestion 
I have a mare about 15 years old, 1,050 
lb.s., kept for driving. I have owned her 
about five years, at times have little for 
her to do. She makes water often while 
in stable, and in driving a mile her bowels 
become very loose. AVhat is the cause 
and what can I do for her? I feed 
mostly oats for grain. E. A. c. 
Work or actively exercise the mare 
every day, and when there is no w’ork for 
her to do withhold grain. She is getting 
too much to eat. Also see that all feed 
offered is sound. Moldy hay often causes 
diabetes. Do not let her drink just be¬ 
fore working. Have her teeth put in 
order by a veterinarian. A. s. A. 
Bitter Milk 
What is the cause of bitter milk? My 
f^w is nine or 10 years old, has been 
farrow the past season. She has been 
milked a year and a half, and is due to 
calve about March first. She is fed 
three quarts of middlings both morning 
and night, also hay. The milk has been 
hitter about two weeks, and when it is 
brought iu fresh from the cow it has 
the odor of milk in cold weather when 
it has stood for several days. E. E. w. 
New York. 
Milk often is bitter when a cow has 
been giving it for a long time. She 
should be dried off now, but if you do 
not care to do so give the cow a physic 
of epsom salts and then mix in the feed 
night and morning a heaping tablespoon¬ 
ful of powdered charcoal and bicarbon¬ 
ate of soda, increase tlie dose if found 
necessary. A. S. A. 
Rickets 
We have throe pigs and one young 
hoar, weigh about 70 lbs. each, which we 
bought in September. They have seemed 
healthy and vigorous until lately, when 
the boar and one of the others got a 
lameness in one of their legs, the one 
seemed to get better while the hoar got 
worse and now both left legs are very 
lame, so that he has trouble getting up 
for his feed, but has a good appetite. lie 
always sweats hack of his ears. lie has 
range part of tlie time and small house 
for sleeping in which ilntil recently did 
not have any floor, his bedding of hay 
being just thrown in on the ground. I 
now have a board floor. Feed is a mixed 
ration much as your paper advises, with 
chicken heads, feet and entrails boiled up 
mixed in. Will you advise me if this is 
serious and what to do? F. ii. c. 
New York. 
Allow free range and stop feeding the 
boiled stuff. I^et the hogs have free ac¬ 
cess to a self-feeder containing digester 
tankage and also feed corn and gi’ound 
barley or rye. Hoots would be beneficial. 
If worms are seen in the manure give the 
treatment often suggested here. A. S. A. 
Founder 
I have a 10-year-old horse weighing 
about l.GOO, thiit has always worked 
hard and was heavily loaded. He has 
be(‘n foundered and his feet are poor in 
front. I have bar shoes on him now 
and he walks all right. Just as soon 
as you go to put him iu the barn or ask 
liim to hack up he will stretch his front 
feet out forward and seem to strain 
every muscle in his body till he partly 
groans. Is there any reutedy, * jr. s. 
New York, 
Clip the hair from the hoof-heads of 
both fort'feet and blister them, one at a 
time with a mixture of two drams each 
of biniodide of mercury and powdered 
oantliarides and three ounces of lard. 
Repeat the blister two or three times at 
intervals of two or three weeks. 
A. S. A. 
Worms 
Can you tell, me a remedy for long, 
white intestinal worms in a hoi’se? The 
horse appears well, but is growing very 
thin. I- D. S. 
New York. 
Mix together equal quantities of salt, 
sulphur and dried sulphate of iron (cop¬ 
peras) and of this mix one tablespoonful 
in the feed night and morning for a week; 
then skip 10 days and repeat. Omit iron 
for a mare in foal, and increase salt and 
sulphur. A. s. A. 
Itching Skin 
I have a young horse that keeps on 
biting himself. Ilis skin is rou^h in 
spots, having small pimples which come 
out with hair aud all. What is good for 
dandruff on horse? E. E. 
New Jersey, 
Have the horse clipped and then w'ash 
the affected parts with a 1-100 solution of 
coal tar dip thickened with flowers of 
sulphur. Repeat the application as often 
as found necessary. Do not feed heavily 
of grain. Keep the bowels active and 
have the horse work or take outdoor exer¬ 
cise every day. Chicken lice often 
cause such irritation, so make that im¬ 
possible. A. S. A.
