T ile is the practical 
silo material and LAN¬ 
SING is the quality con¬ 
struction. Reinforced throuifhout 
with twisted steel. The steel rods get 
a tight grip in the cement—cannot 
slip. Blocks are set together with 
ends overlapping—brace tile against 
tile with less mortar exposed. Gives 
you a better looking silo—smoother 
wall inside ■— less chance for frost.

Lung Worms 
My hogs aro badly infested with lung 
worms, and have been so for years. I am 
unable to get rid of them. I keep from .".B 
to 50 brood sows, and this jiarasite levies 
a toll of about ,$500 a year on me. I have 
tried many ways to fight this worm, but 
am not having much success. c. s. c. 
Maryland. 
The only way to successfully combat 
the trouble will he to absolutely keep the 
hogs off old pa.sture and away from wal¬ 
lows and surface water. In addition try 
to ]irovi(le new green pasturage each 
Spring; have the pigs born there in single 
movable houses iind keep them out of old 
yards. Kee)) the feeding troughs, etc., 
sweet, clean and disinfected. Do not jias- 
ture pigs along with adult hogs. Give 
tiupentlne or copperas now and then in 
slop to destroy intestinal parasites. Iso¬ 
late any pig or hog that coughs. A. s. a. 
Occluded Tear Ducts 
I have a valuable mare thiit has in¬ 
flamed eyes. Water has been discliaiged 
from eyes for about two years, oiusing 
hair to come out where discharge runs 
down her face. I have to wash her eyes 
and face every morning. Eyes are clear 
and sight apparently perfect. Mare is old, 
hut in good fle.sh and indispensable as a 
nursery worker, as she knows more about 
cultivating nursery stock than the hired 
help. In the past two years have used 
all of the remedies we have heard suggest¬ 
ed without beneficial results, among them 
being calomel, carbolic acid, boracic acid, 
etc. M. c. 
Ohio. 
The lachrymal or tear ducts doubtles.q 
are closed and it is quite likelj’^ that they 
might he opened by a trained veterinarian. 
The orifices of the ducts will be seen upon 
the floor of the nostrils just within the 
opening and starting there the ducts will 
have to be opened by syringing or use of 
l»robes, etc. We .scarcely think it likely 
that eye disease is the cause of the weep¬ 
ing. A. s. A.

those on the body apply as often :is found

Blood in Milk 
A two-year-old heifer gives bloody milk 
from one front teat. She freshened Au¬ 
gust 81, right in every way, gave upward 
of .85 lbs. milk a day. Three or four weeks 
ago I noticed little clots of blood when 
first starting to milk. After 10 days la.st 
of milking would be bloody. Now, for 
several times. I could not save any milk 
from that cpiarter and hist streams will 
be red. I have given saltpetre in table¬ 
spoon doses once a day for a week. No 
soreness or swelling in quarter; milks 
down normally. I know of no injury to 
quarter. Can anything be done to save 
the quarter? B. 
New York. 
Growths in the milk duct of the teat 
probably bleed from irritation at milking 
time. It sometimes is possible to remove 
such growths hy operation. Wliere this 
cannot be done it is best to dry off the 
milk sveretion ia the affected quarter. 
You should, if possible, have an examin¬ 
ation inadfi by an experienced veterina¬ 
rian. It is not a case for which we can 
cunfidently pre.scribe without making an 
examination. a. s. a.

We cannot adA'ise confidentl.v unle.ss 
you give a description of the symptoms 
and also tell us how you feed and man¬ 
age the sheep. It seems apparent, how¬ 
ever. that an irritant in the feed is caus¬ 
ing the trouble, and a change of feed 
thci-efore is indictited. A. s. a. 
Proud Flesh 
Foul in Foot 
1. I have a cow three weeks fresh that 
calved in the best condition. Three days 
ago I let her out with the other cows for 
a short time, and when she was taken in 
again I noticed she was lame on the hind 
leg. Then I looked at it and found that 
the part between her hoof began to rot 
and it is getting worse daily. I was 
washing her with warm water and then 
put a warm oil meal mash over it. but I 
see no relief, 2. Another cow has the 
same trouble, only matter and other stuff 
keeps running from the hoof, and it is 
swollen; there are other parts that open 
iiround the hoof. I have been doctoidng 
her lor about six weeks hut see no relief. 
New Jer.sey. a. a. 
1. Perfectly cleanse the foot and be¬ 
tween toes; then saturate oakum or cot¬ 
ton with a five per cent, solution of coal 
tar disinfectant and bind it upon the 
parts. Renew the dressing every other 
day, 2. Cleanse the foot and cut away 
every particle of loose, rotten or under- 
run horn and at once immerse the foot for 
a few minutes in a hot Siituratod solution 
of sulphate of copper. Afterward put on 
the oakum or cotton dressings, once daily, 
as prescribed for the first case. a. .s. a. 
Is thei-e any remedy that would reduce 
proud flesh, caused by a wire cut on a 
horse about a year and a half ago? The 
animal is six years old. The cut is on 
the knee joint on the hind leg. I'he size 
of the leg increased about one-half.

It is too late to expect much ffood from 
treatment, but some improvement may 
take place if you dust the sore two or 
three times dail.v ivith a mixture of equal 
quantities of finely powdered sul))hate of 
c<ipper, burnt alum and tannic acid.

New York. 
Have a trained veterinaiuan attend to 
the teeth as the cause of quidding is there. 
If the teeth are not unsound or A’ery irreg¬ 
ular much benefit should come from ex¬ 
pert use of dentistry instruments. A. S. A. 
Infected Eyes 
We have two dogs that have some eye 
tmuhle; a white matter comes out at 
the lower corner of the eyes. It does not 
show much during the day. being worst in 
the morning. I was directed to drop in 
morning a few drops of water having 
oxalic acid in solution, but it does not 
seem to remedy trouble. Dogs are other¬ 
wise healthy and in good condition. Can 
you give a remedy? p. B. 
Pennsylvania. 
Morning and night cleanse the eyes 
with .8 saturated solution of boric acid 
applied by means of a fresh swab of ab¬ 
sorbent cotton, and at noon put a few 
drops of a 15 per cent, solution of argerol 
between the eyelids by means of a medi¬ 
cine (Iroiiper or camel’s hair brush. A. s. A. 
Fistula; Lameness 
1. I have a 10-year-old mare with a 
fistula which was opened when about the 
size of a fist a year ago. We treated it 
all last Winter according to instructions 
of a A'eterinarian and have not done any¬ 
thing all Summer and Fall. There was 
more than one cut, but the original one 
is still running. We have been adA'ised to 
burn the proud flesh out Avith caustic, pot¬ 
ash by putting about half an inch of a 
stick into the opening, and then treat 
Avith some good healing compound. We 
have also been adA'ised to put some bi¬ 
chloride of mercury tablets in it. C’ould 
you tell me of anything else I could do? 
The mare is in pretty good flesh and does 
not get any gi-aiu. 2. We also have a 
mare which Avas lame Avhen Ave started out 
AA’ith her on a trip, but AAOuld not limp 
after having gone about a half-mile. 
We did not use her for about tAvo 
weeks, and a seemingly bony groAvth has 
come directly under her knee. Could you 
tell me Avhat this might be? The mare is 
about 32 years old. c. T. 
Ncav York. 
1. Clip off the hair and \Amsh the skin 
clean, then hiive si (lualitied veterinarian 
lay open each pipe and jiocket of the ab¬ 
scess to provide free drainage for pus and 
for i-emoval of dead and diseased cartilage 
or other tissue. Then swab the Avouud 
Avith tincture of iodine and once daily 
pack the cavity full of oakum saturated 
Avith a mixture of equal parts of raAV lin¬ 
seed oil and turpentine. The veterinarian 
should also give hypodermic treatment 
Avith a bacterin. If you cannot have this 
done use a commercial or advertised fis¬ 
tula remedy, but do not use the caustics 
you mention. _ It should be stsited that 
the veterinarian may prefer his own 
method of treatment, but the one Ave have 
prescribed is quite effective if properly 
carried out. 2. You do not say so. hut Ave 
suspect that you mean the hock joint of 
the hind leg and not the knee of the Lire- 
leg. If so a bone s-{)aA’in is present and 
you should have it and the joint fired and 
blistered by the veterinarian and then tie 
the mare up short in a stall for six weeks.
