principle and fact. BECAUSE:"— 
1—It has a unique, simple, real ladder formed by 
door fasteners—a practical convenience that 
saves dollars. 
r—The door opening is continuousrnd unobstructed. 
3—I.iglit, non-warpable doors fasten at any point 
and open at ensilage level to save back-break¬ 
ing pitching labor. 
.\di«stable door-frame insures permanent air¬ 
tightness. 
5— Hoops can be taken up 12 inches at 
door-frame lugs where the Unadilla 
ladder is always safe and handy. 
6— Cypress roof, Conical or Gambrel, 
fitted witli folding doors and metal 
ventilator. 
7 Steel Cable Anchors iiold silo

Lice on Cattle 
I note G. II. M. asks on page 92 how¬ 
to get rid of lice on cattle. I want to 
tell this man how I treated a hor.se that 
was .so completel.v covered with them 
that the hair came off in big patches be¬ 
fore we knew what was wrong. We took 
two quarts of gasoline out of the auto 
tank and added about two-thirds of a 
qinii't of warm water, and kept shaking 
it to keep it well mi.xed, took a hand 
spra.v pump and thoroughly soaked the 
horse all over, from hoof to ears. This 
I apparently made the skin itch or smart, 
1 as the horse was very uneasy for nearly 
an hour, so much so that we kept leading 
it around the door yard until the itching 
Ijasscfl away. One application was suf¬ 
ficient, as from that day to this we have 
never had a louse. After we had the 
horse thoroughly treated we cleaned the 
Stalls (all of them) thoroughly from top 
to bottom, sweeping clean and then took 
about two gallons of clear gasoline and 
sprayed Avell, making sure to hit any 
place that might possibly hold these lice. 
Some people have told me since that they 
would be afraid this would take the hair 
off, but such was not the case w’ith us. 
In two days after this horse acted like a 
colU although 14 years old. 
New York. w’. u. irwtv. 
Gasoline sonietimes is used for the de¬ 
struction of vermin on animals, but is 
best used on floors, rugs, etc., for the 
destruction of fleas in houses, and in- 
teruall.v to kill stomach worms in lambs. 
Kerosene, in emulsion with soap and 
water, has been found profitable for use 
on stock, aud also is effective for use on 
j roosts, walls, etc. If W. H. Irwin has 
! to use gasoline again on animals we 
should suggest using a much weaker mix¬ 
ture with w-ater. A .serious objection to 
the use of gasoline about the stable is its 
extreme inflamniabilit.v. A. s.

1. I own a valuable mare. IS years old, 
big, strong, handsome, a willing worker, 
before her lameness a sharp trotter, and 
a famil.v pet. She began about February, 
191<!. with a very slight lameness that was 
rarely noticeable. It grew more pro- 
nouneed until in early Spring I had a vet¬ 
erinary look ;it her. He said the bones 
on top of her feet were growing, aud blis¬ 
tered them. Through the Summer she 
grew worse. She curled up when walk- \ 
ing, lifting her hind feet high and setting 
them down far under her laxly. In the 
Fall they Avere blistered again. As in¬ 
ter came on she got enough better so 
that she walked better after going a while. 
T.ast Spring we had her shoes taken off. 
She worked off and on all Summer, 
and was kept in pasture day and night 
except when actually working. Is there 
anything I could rub on her front feet to 
take the soreness out that would not 
soften the hoofs and start those bones 
growing again? Would it help to have 
her sliod with high calks behind and low 
ill front? Would it be better to have her 
shod or not this Winter? 2. What can I 
do for a big cat to rid him of fleas? 
Massachusetts. C. E. b. 
1. An examination would be necessary 
to determine whether the lameness is due 
to riugbone. sidebone. or chronic lamiuitis 
(founder). If ringbone is present un¬ 
nerving would be the best treatment; if it 
is sidebone. firing and blistering may help, 
while repeated blistering should help in 
founder. Put on flat bar shoes over a 
dressing of pine tar aud oakum and thick 
leather pads. 2. Put some Dalmatian in¬ 
sect powder in a gunny sack, then “in¬ 
sert” the cat. hold the mouth of the sack 
close about the auimal’s neck aud shake 
to get the powder into the fur. Repeat 
the treatment as found necessary.
