Retained 
After-births 
Cows can be made to clean 
easily without using force 
When cows do not clean properly 
after calving, it indicates a germ infec¬ 
tion which is likely to run through the 
entire herd and result in abortion and 
harrenness. 
Our Government and other authorities 
assert that retained after-birth, premature 
calving, sterility and calf scours are all the 
result of Infection by the abortion germ, 
and retained after birth is one of the first 
symptoms. 
The after-birth should be removed at once 
without force and the cow treated with a 
powerful antiseptic to prevent her becoming 
an aborter or sterile. Authorities state that 
while there is no absolute cure for abortion 
and sterility, nevertheless the Infection can 
be controlled by prompt treatment and the 
animal saved for successful breeding, 
B-K is scientifically correct for this work. 
Used as a douche for the uterus, it quickly 
brings the after-birth, dissolves the slimy 
albuminous matter, kills the germs, stops 
discharges and controls the infection. B-K 
does not cause straining, but is soothing 
and heals the tissues. 
Other germicides such as carbolic acid, 
cresol, I.ugol’s solution. Iodine, etc., tend to 
Irritate, do not dissolve the slimy albumins, 
but tend to coagulate or thicken them, 
thereby preventing destruction of the 
germs and cleansing of tlie tissues. 
B-K is convenient. Just add water as di¬ 
rected, and you have your treatment for 
calves, l)ulls and cows and also your disln-, 
fectant for general use. 
Clean and 
Clear as water 
B-K is used so successfully by leading 
breeders tliat it is now sold over the entire 
world and the demand for It has increased 
five hundred per cent, in three years. A well 
known breeder of registered stock says : 
in of great value 
in douching cows which 
do not clean readily after 
calving. Have never 
Inown it to fail to bring 
all things right before 
the fourth day." 
B-K is sold by dairy 
and farm supply houses, 
druggists, general stores, 
etc., everywhere. Deal¬ 
ers wanted everywhere.

place. I am sure I could have found men 
on the ground who would have cham¬ 
pioned each breed and proved their case. 
This being so, it seems evident that in 
like manner each of these tractors has 
special merits which fit it for some par¬ 
ticular woi’k. I can imagine a man going 
bankrupt from feeding big Shorthorn cat¬ 
tle, but paying the mortgage with Jer¬ 
seys! There is a place for each breed, 
and a little study will show that each 
type of tractor is fitted to do certain 
kinds of work well. When you come 
down ‘to the root of it, each farmer seem.s 
to keep the hen or cow or hog which is 
most like himself in general character or 
adaptability, and I think it will finally 
turn out about that way with these trac¬ 
tors. At any rate, they have “come” to 
the Atlantic slope, and every man with a 
fairly level farm should begin to study 
their merits. h. w. c.

Straight Answers to 
Jirnehr Questions 
What is Pratts Poultry Regulator? 
A positive tonic and conditioner for poultry of all 
kinds and ages. A health-builder and health-pre- 
. server. Not a food. 
What does it contain ? 
Roots, herbs, spices, mineral substances, etc. Each 
ingredient performs a certain duty. The combina- 
. tion spells “health insurance.” 
What does it do ? 
Pratts Poultry Regulator makes and keeps poultry 
healthy, vigorous and productive. It sharpens the 
appetite, improves digestion and circulation, hastens 
growth and increases egg-production. It saves feed 
by preventing waste due to poor digestion. It pre¬ 
vents disease by keeping the birds in condition to 
resist the common ailments. 
Has it been fully tested ? 
Yes! In general use for nearly fifty years. The origi¬ 
nal poultry conditioner. Imitated, but unequalled. 
Does it give general satisfaction ? 
Positively! Satisfaction guaranteed or money re¬ 
funded. Test it at our risk. Increased egg-produc¬ 
tion will prove that “Pratts makes hens lay.” 
How is it best used? 
Daily, in small quantities. For adults, a tablespoon¬ 
ful daily for 10 birds. Younger stock in proportion. 
Mix with dry or moist mash. 
What does it cost? 
Nothing, because it pays big profits. One cent a 
month per hen is the investment required. 
Where can I get it? 
From 60,000 Pratt dealers. There is one near you. 
Direct from the manufacturer, prepaid, if your 
dealer can’t supply you. 
How can I learn more about it?
