Do You 
Know— 
How to get a horse from a 
burning bam? 
How to raise an orphan 
colt? 
How to pick a good brood 
sow? 
How to feed your cows to 
give the right color to

shipment to avoid heavy 
shrinkage? 
How^ to get rid of worms 
quickly? 
How to pick a good dairy 
cow? 
How to tell when pregnant

offspring? 
C. These and many other valu¬ 
able questions are answered in a 
new Live Stock Book we have 
just issued and which we will 
gladly mail, postpaid, to anyone 
who will write for a copy. 
c It also contains record forms 
for keeping track of service dates, 
due dates for mares, cows, ewes 
and sows. Gives causes, symp¬ 
toms and treatment of diseases 
of animals. In fact, is a very 
useful and valuable book for live 
stock owners. 
€LIt is a thorough treatise on 
worms in live stock. Illustrates 
the various kinds of worms—tells 
how they rob the animals of their 
food nutrition—how they cause 
fatal diseases—why they are the 
direct and indirect cause of over 
$200,000,000 live stock losses an¬ 
nually and 90% of all live stock 
diseases. 
C It tells why no farm or farm 
animal is free from these costly 
pests unless regular treatment is 
practiced. Tells how to get rid 
of them at very little cost and 
practically no labor. 
C.It tells about SAL-VET—that 
wonderful “Veterinary Salt”—a 
medicated salt which has saved 
thousands and thousands of dol¬ 
lars for American farmers. How 
quickly it gets rid of stomach and 
intestinal worms; how it tones 
the blood and aids the digestion; 
how it helps every animal to 
thrive better, look better, grow 
and fatten faster and costs so 
little that it really is not an ex¬ 
pense but a big profit maker for 
live stock owners. 
"When r received the SAL-VET 
last Fall, my hog:8 were very un¬ 
thrifty. However, they did not 
remain in that condition very long 
after I besan feeding: SAL-VET^ 
since which time. I never had hog^s 
do better. My horses also began 
to pick up when I fed it to them. 
It surely does get the worms." 
D. P. COPP, Carroll. Iowa. 
^Now, when feed prices are so 
high, you should get the most return 
from what you feed, but that is impos¬ 
sible when your stock have worms. 
They do not always show the worm 
symptoms plainly, so don’t fool yourself 
by thinking your animals not affected, 
C. SAL-VET will more than pay 
its cost as a tonic and conditioner, and 
in addition get rid of the worms. Ask 
your dealer about our money-back 
offer and learn why. That proves that 
SAL-VET is the cheapest and best live 
stock remedy to buy.

Live Stock Feeding Problems 
Cottonseed for Grain 
To what extent may cottonseed meal be 
used in feeding dairy cow.s? In addition 
to hay and corn fodder, I would like to 
feed cottonseed meal for grain exclusively. 
Ilay is poor quality Timothy and Red- 
top ; corn fodder from sown Eureka and 
stover from flint corn. One two-year-old 
fresh two months ago giving 20 lbs. milk, 
one six-year-old, large cow, freshens lat¬ 
ter part of November, and has given be¬ 
fore around 50 lbs. milk. I use so litth 
dairy grain and no storage for it that I 
do not want to mix large quantities, and 
as a source of protein cottonseed is very 
much cheaper than anything else in this 
market. I am now feeding heifer 5 lbs. 
grain daily; last Fall fed cow 9 lbs. grain 
at first. T. R. A. 
New York. 
Authorities differ as to the amount of 
cottonseed meal that should be fed to a 
Reproduced from N. Y. Evening Telegram 
cow. Ordinarily, where the roughage 
supplies considerable protein, not over 2 
lbs. per day is recommended in the ration. 
In your case, however, where the rough- 
age is low in protein, cottonseed meal is 
the one great source of protein. I should 
make the ration four parts cottonseed 
meal, oue part gluten and two parts bran, 
and feed a pound to three and one-half to 
four lbs. milk produced daily. ii. F. J. 
Brewers’ Grains for Cows and Hogs 
"Will you give me a balanced ration for 
cows and hogs, with brewers’ wet grains 
as the principal part of the feed? I have 
an unlimited supply of brewers’ grains at 
15c per bu. c. F. M. 
Shenandoah, Pa. 
Since you did not state what kind of 
hay you had on hand, I have assumed it 
to be mixed hay and have made a ration 
accordingly. Feed about 15 lbs. mixed 
hay aud 30 lbs. of wet brewers’ grains (a 
little over a half bushel) per head per 
day. In addition, feed a pound of the fol¬ 
lowing mixture for each 6 lbs. of milk 
produced daily: One part bran, two parts 
middlings and one part gluten fee'. 
There is little published data on the feed¬ 
ing of wet brewers’ grains to hogs. It is 
the general opinion that they may be fed 
as a part of the ration; should therefore 
mix with them for every five parts, by 
weight, one part of middlings and one 
part of cornmeal. Feed in a slop what the 
hogs will clean up. n. F. J. 
Ration for Milch Cows 
I would like some advice as to feeding 
milch cows, considering the present mrr- 
ket prices of feed, to get best results. I 
have plenty of good hay, corn, coimstalks, 
no silage, some mangels and turnips; 
also a good grinder and chopper. Bran 
would cost me $40 per ton, beets, $50, 
mixed feed about $58, red dog, $65. 
Connecticut. H. B. M. 
Presumably your hay is from mixed 
grasses, clover, Timothy and Red-top, etc. 
This hay is quite low in protein. T. e 
other feeds, namely, the cornstalks, 
and roots are all low in protein. This 
means that for you to feed a ration any¬ 
where near balanced you will need to pur¬ 
chase high protein feeds, such as cotton¬ 
seed meal, gluten aud brewers’ grains. I 
should give the cows two feeds of hay a 
day, and then feed what cornstalks they 
will clean up once a day. The roots 
should be made to go as far as they will, 
and a peck to half bushel per cow once or 
twice a day, depending on amount on 
hand, would work nicely. The grain ra¬ 
tion could well be oue part cornmeal, two 
parts cottonseed meal, one part gluten 
feed, one part dried brewers' grains and 
one part of bran. Add one per cent salt to 
the mixture when mixing it up. Feed 
grain at a rate of a pound to three or four 
pounds of milk pi-oduced daily, ir. f. j. 
Ration Including Cabbage 
I have late-cut mixed hay, not much 
clover in it, 40 tons of corn silage with 
no grain in it; about six or eight tons of 
cabbage fodder, and my grain ration yet 
to buy. Will you advise me as to what 
grains to buy and how to use it with the 
feeds I now have on hand? I have 17 
cows, 12 cows and heifers, now giving 
milk, and most of these 12 have freshened 
in the past four months; the re.st will 
freshen between now and Spring, t. s. a. 
New York. 
On basis of ISO days you have just 
about enough succulent feed to feed 17 
head 30 lbs. per day. Give them what 
hay they will clean up besides. Should 
work the cabbage, fodder and silage in to¬ 
gether. Either feed together or one feed 
of each daily until cabbage is gone. If 
you can get distillers’ or brewers’ grains, 
make ration two parts distillers’ or brew¬ 
ers’ grains, two parts cottonseed meal, 
one part gluten and one part bran. If 
you cannot get the distillers’ or brewers’ 
grains, put in one-half part oilmeal, one- 
half part more gluten and another part 
bran or ground oats. ii. F. j. 
AILING ANIMALS 
Cough 
I have a cow that gave eight quarts of 
milk per day. She commenced to cough 
and nearly dried up; gives but a quart 
per day and has lost a lot of flesh. When 
she runs she will stop and blow like a 
horse when he has the heaves. I thought 
at first she had eaten a lot of apples. So 
I gave her two or three boxes salts at 
different times that does not seem to do 
any good. Some one told me to give her 
sulphur, salt, soot and red clay. She 
didn’t lick much of that, but none seems 
to do much good. Could you tell me 
what is the trouble with her? A. li. c. 
It is greatly to be feared that the cow 
has tuberculosis and you, therefore, 
should have her tested with tuberculin 
as soon as the weather becomes cool. 
Meanwhile keep her isolated and do not 
use the milk. Tuberculosis is contagious 
and incurable and makes the milk dan¬ 
gerous for use by man or beast. Any 
trained veterinarian properly can apply 
the tuberculin test and it is perfectly 
harmless to an unaffected cov.

Sitfast 
1. I have a mare, eight years old, with 
a sore on her back where the back-pad 
comes. Sometimes it seems to be mostly 
healed up, then it will break out again. 
It has been like this about a year. What 
can be done for it? I have tried almost 
everything on it. 
2. A year ago the mare had a ten- 
penny nail in her left front foot. The 
nail wound healed all right. She will go 
lame in that foot when she is shod. Do 
you think she will be all right in time 
on that foot? 
3. She has got a wfind puff on same 
ankle where nail went into foot. 
4. Would it hurt her to breed her? 
New York. f. l. s. 
1. A thick patch of horny skin, known 
as a “sitfast,” no doubt is present in this 
chronic sore-and keeps it from healing. 
Have it dissected out by a surgeon and 
then wet the wound three times a day 
with a lotion composed of one ounce of 
sugar of lead, six drams of sulphate of 
zinc and one pint of soft water. Label 
the bottle “poison” and shake it well be¬ 
fore use. If flies are troublesome apply 
a little iodoform as often as found neces¬ 
sary. 2. Clip the hair from the hoof 
head and apply a blister, as soon as the 
weather becomes cool, as this may help 
to remove the soreness. 3. The “puff” is 
incurable. 4. No. a. s. o 
Grease-heel 
Is there any cure for grease-heel? I 
have a horse that has it, and it Is sore 
under his fetlock. Twice his leg has 
swollen way up to has hip He is a 
nice horse and also an expensive one, 
and so I would like to cure him if there 
is any possibility of it. f. j. d. b. 
Massachusetts. 
In true grease heel a most offen¬ 
sive discharge oozes from the affected 
skin, and we scarcely think such a con¬ 
dition is present in the case you de¬ 
scribe. If there is simply a sore, in¬ 
flamed cracked or chafed condition of the 
skin at the back of the leg, between the 
heels and fetlock, it is a chronic case 
of “scratches.” and Ave sliould first try the 
effects of iodine ointment applied once 
daily and if that did not prove remedial, 
we should apply a cantharidine blister 
which you can obtain from a veterinar¬ 
ian. In grease heel we have got good 
results from applying twice daily a weak 
solution of lye prepared as follows: 
Dissolve a can of concentrated lye in 
two quarts of water aud keep in a closely 
stoppered bottle. Twice daily mix two 
ounces of this solution in a small bucket 
of soft water and use to thoroughly bathe 
the affected parts. a. s. a.
