opinion that it would pay to grow a 
larger area of corn and omit the other

for the entire year, with the exception of 
two or three months while the pasture is

Mercurial Oinment for Cattle 
T.ast Winter or Spring there was 
printed a method of ridding cattle of 
lice by the application of a small quan¬ 
tity of mercurial ointment to each an¬ 
imal. I remember that it seemed to me 
on the same order as killing scale by 
applying chemicals in an anger hole. 
Is there anything in it? Will you give 
exjilicit directions, and explain how the 
lice all ovor the body of the animal are 
destroyi'd by such a limited quantity of 
the remedy applied in one or two small 
spots. F. w. P. 
Norwich, N. Y. 
The use of mercnrial ointment for 
killing lice on cattle has ‘been a com¬ 
mon practice in the dairy sections of the 
country for many years, and there is no 
question as to its efficiency when prop¬ 
erly used, but yon must realize that it Is 
a deadly poison and will kill a cow as 
quick as a louse itrovided you place it 
within b('r reach. Personally I have 
used it for years witlnnit any ill effects 
by rubbing a small piece, about the size 
of a hickory nut. well down through the 
hair onto the skin around the tail and 
in the -hollow back of the horn.s. 
Whatever you do don't smear it onto 
the hair and then l(>t your cows out to 
liek it off each other. Keei) them in the i 
stanchions a cou|ile of days after an iip- I 
plicatinii. until all danger of their lick¬ 
ing it off each otlu'r is jmssed. Uy mix¬ 
ing the .■’.I'X' mercurial ointment with 
one half vaseline, the mixture will be 
just as ('ff»'cli\(> as when used jiure. I 
am unable to .t<dl ('xactly how the lice 
are killed, but 1 know’ it do<'s the work. 
Iltunember. however, that it is ))oison 
and handle it accordingly.

White on a Pure-bred Aridale 
1 have a pill) about eight months old. I 
siqiposed to be a purebred Airedale. lie 
has. 'however, a white strip down his 
chest, a white spot on t' e end of 'his 
lower jaw. an'd the tips of his toes* are 
white, some more than others. -Is this 
consistent with a i)nrebred dog of thi.s 
breed. I bought him for a i)nrebre(l 
dog. T/. 1 {. K. 
New York. 
I have .seen absolutely i)urebred Aire¬ 
dale i)ui)s with white toes, white on 
breast, and even to a whole white foot, 
and came to the conclusion that they 
have bred .back. Those marking.s would 
aiii»ear more readily in a litter where the 
sire or dam was so marked. Palnier'.s 
All about the Airedale says. “Di.sfpialify 
ing jtiunts: AVdiiie marks or p;ttches on 
body, but many of the leading shoAV W'iu- 
ners of the day have a slight white 
marking on the che.st, not enough to be 
a patch or prominent as such. This 
.slight tendency of white appearing in a 
.small .spot on the chest seems to be noth¬ 
ing unusual in real good specimens and 
is not I'egarded as of sufficient import¬ 
ance to di.scpialify.” 
Personally speaking I would not 
breed from a female that was poorly 
marked, with notlcable white marks, 
otherwi.se than the breast mark, nor use 
a dog at stud with white foot, etc., but 
ns 1 say. it will occur now’ and again, 
where you know the blood is pure, yet 
1 would avoid it iu my breed«'i’.s.

Price of Butter Fat 
How much buttei’ fat is there in 100 
lbs. of milk testing from .‘>% up to 6%? 
Ilow’ imich would 100 lbs. of milk net 
me of the different (pialities mentioned if 
I got for‘butter fat four cents above the j 
highest (piotations in New York ('ity i 
for butter, which, I believe, was 42c last 
week ? ,j -v e 
Dexter. N. Y. 
In 100 lbs. of .2% milk there are 
■I lbs. of butter fat. This amount in¬ 
creases 'by .1 of a pound for each 1% 
above 3%. For example, 100 lbs. of 
3-1% milk contains 2.1 lbs. of fat and 
so on up to G%, 100 lbs. of 0% milk con¬ 
taining 0 lbs. of fat. At 40e per lb. for 
fat. 100 lbs. of .3% milk wnold bring 
•$1.>3S. This amount would increase by 
4.0c for each .1 of a percent, increase in 
fat. so that 6% milk w’ould bring ,$2.70

Gasoline and Hogs 
I have been considerably interested in 
the various comments in The I{. N.-Y. on 
the substitution of gasoline for hot water 
in cleaning bogs. In Holland, and here, 
many Hollanders burn the bail’ off with 
straw; and I presume the gasoline idea 
is simply a Holland custom with a “Yan¬ 
kee" fringe to it. I raise the Chester 
IVhite hog, and when I get ready to 
butcher I usually take those for my ow’ii 
use thi’ongh by the gasoline route while 
the water is heating. I find that if the 
bog is perfectly dry, and am careful when 
sticking the hog to allow no blood to get 
on the carcass, and if the wind is not 
blowing, the job is quite successful, but 
can scarcely say that they look as <’lean 
and bright as the ones I scald for market. 
With a black hog there W’ould probably be 
no difference in their general apix'arance. 
One of my neighbors a short time ago 
tried the gasoline system and had a whole 
lot of grief. It was wet weather and the 
hog got wet lie butchered in the open, 
and the ■wind was blowing a pretty 
healthy gale. As a result the xvind would 
blow all the fire around on one side, and 
where it was wet and bloody it scarcely 
singed the hair. He says never again. 
I’nt the .Terseyman with a plumber's torch 
.seems about the most sensible idea for 
(deaning the head and the little nooks and 
corners. w. u.
