Ailing Animals 
Cough 
I have a pair of three and four-year 
old colts that during late Spring this 
season both contracted what is generally 
called horse distemper. Both ran at 
nose considerably for sometime and now 
neither discharge much at nostrils. They 
did not run down in flesh much, but both 
have been left with hard deep coughs. 
These coughing spells seem to cotne on 
while standing in stall and while driving, 
also cough some in pasture. Glands side 
of neck next to head are swollen some. 
We have blistered these with kerosene, 
have given them kerosene on meal, also 
have given them canned tar on tongues, 
and fastened tar in cloth and wound 
on bit leaving same in their mouths for 
half day at a time. We are unable to 
observe that all this is assisting them in 
getting rid of that cough. What do you 
advise us to do? 
Cough often persists after an atack 
of influenza, but should gradually pass 
away. The treatment given would he 
likely to aggravate the irritation. If 
the cough persists give half an ounce of 
glyco-heroin or equine cough syrup three 
times daily and increase the dose if found 
necessary. Rub the throat from ear to 
ear once daily with a liniment composed 
of one ounce each of turpentine and aqua 
ammonia shaken up in 14 ounces of 
cottonseed oil. Wet all feed. A. s. A. 
Cows, .$50 to $75; butter, 40c; eggs, 
63 white, 48c colored. Potatoes, $1.50.

My milk goes to a cheese factory, and 
the returns for our last sale were from 
July 23 to Aug. 3, both days included. 
Price sold for was 22^Ac per lb, of 
cheese, and that nets the patrons $1.76 
per 100 lbs. of milk. I think for month 
of August the condensery paid .$2.66 per 
100 lbs. Milch cows from $75 to $100 per 
head. Pork 16c per lb. live wight. Pota¬ 
toes $1 per bu.; chickens 22c; fowls, 20c; 
Jive weight. Eggs, 42c per doz. E. s.

hen: chicken, 25c. Eggs, 45c. Corn, 
$2.50 per bu. Good cows $70 to .$90. 
Wool today 67c. Most of this year clip 
sold from 50 to 60c. I am managing a 
creamery in my spare time and our but¬ 
ter sold last week at 42c; New York 
City; at creamery retail 43 to 44c. f am 
interested in farm bureaus and wish you 
would encourage the farmer to^ become 
active members, as' I really believe the 
Parra Bureau is to the farmer what a 
life buoy would be to a drowning man. 
Greene Co,, N. Y. A. J. s. 
Cattle are very high. A good young 
dairy cow costs $100. Horses, workers, 
young and sound, .$150 to .$20O. Hogs, 
live weight, 16 to 20e; cheese, 18 to 21e; 
butter, 35 to 40c. Potatoes now $1.35 per 
60 lbs. Eggs, 40 to 45c. Poultry, live, 
about 18e. h. m. 
Cortland Co. 
Following are prices of some of the 
produce we sell from our own farm as 
we sell them from our auto truck run¬ 
ning once a week to a city market about 
15 miles away: Butter, 48c lb.; butter¬ 
milk, 4c qt.; cottage cheese 10c pint; po¬ 
tatoes, $1.50 bu.; eggs, 45 to 50c per 
doz. sweet corn, 20c doz. ears; Summer 
apples, 80e basket (% bu.) ; snap beans, 
80c; fowl, 27 lb.; cabbage, 60c basket; 
vinegar, 25e gallon. These are retail 
prices, of course, and vary somewhat. 
For broilers. White Deghorns which we 
begin to sell about Easter and still have 
enough to supply our market until some 
time in November, we are now getting 
$1.,50 to .$2 per pair, weighing about five 
pounds per pair. Dairy cattle are scarce 
here and not much dealing, but those 
that are sold bring from ,$125 to $175 
for anything that looks like milk. Part 
of our milk is sold to a dealer, delivered 
to him about two miles away and at pres¬ 
ent we get seven cents per qt. wholesale. 
During last Winter we received only 5%c. 
I do not think the price will be reduced 
for some time, owing to the doubling in 
the price, of feed and the demand for 
milk. Peaches are very variable in our 
local market, ranging from $1 per % 
bu. basket. M, B. B.

Long Island Hook Worms 
My small dog, age 21^ years, weight 
27 lbs., occasionally passes, with his 
bowel movements, a small white worm. 
This w’orm is white, about half an inch 
long. Vs wide, and is evidently liv¬ 
ing. A local veternarlan, to whom I de¬ 
scribed these worms, said they 'were 
Long Island hookworms. He advised me 
to give the dog daily a pill containing 
among other things a small dose of 
calouiel and santonin, for six or seven 
days and then follow with a dose of 
castor oil. The treatment was care¬ 
fully carried out, but without complete 
success, as the worms continue to ap¬ 
pear, occasionally in his passages. The 
dog’s health and .spirits do not seem 
to have been affected, thus far, but I am 
naturally anxious to get rid of the trou¬ 
ble. I would appreciate the advice of 
your dog expert as to the best kind of 
treatment to follow. I am familiar, of 
course, with the parasites found in the 
intestines of human Beings, but know 
nothing of those in a dog, R. 
The “Ivong Island hookworm” is a new 
one to this veterinarian and he would 
much like to have a specimen for mici-o- 
scopio examination wheih will be made 
free of charge. Meanwhile, like many 
another Scot, we “hoa oor doots.” Is the 
object seen not a segment of a tape¬ 
worm? Such segments commonly are 
passed by dogs. Meanwhile starve the 
dog for 24 hours and then give it a 
drain of freshly powdered Kamala in 
oream or .soup. Santonin and calomel 
is an effective combination for round 
worms.
