AILING ANIMALS 
Pining Cow 
I have a cow that has slowly grown 
very thin in spite of the fact that she 
eats well and gives milk, though we have 
tried to dry her up. She appears to be 
very lame and stiff in legs. For the past 
two weeks she seems to have stopped 
failing, and is now about holding her 
own, though during the past two or 
three weeks a large lump has formed on 
her side just behind the fore leg joint. 
This now covers about seven inches di¬ 
ameter and is raised probably three 
inches above the surface, very hard. I 
thought it might soften and break, but 
it shows no indication of doing this. 
Can you advise the probable trouble? 
The cow does not cough or indicate 
tuberculosis. B- M. 
Washington. 
Tuberculosis always .should be sus¬ 
pected in such a case, cough or no cough, 
and so we should advise you to have the 
cow tested with tuberculin. The disease 
often affects the hones or tissues other 
than the lungs or glands of the throat. 
If tuberculosis does not prove present, 
we should suspect that a foreign body 
has penetrated* the stomach or heart 
wall, or that a fistula of the paunch is 
about to form just behind the sternum 
or breast bone. Foreign bodies gravitat¬ 
ing to the lower part, of the stomach and 
causing gangrene and sloughing of the 
tissues and an external orifice which dis- 
i charges feed is the result. There is no 
I remedy. P.nint the lump with tincture 
I of iodine once daily and await develop¬ 
ments. A. s. A.

Injured Knees 
I have a six-year-old mare that fell 
down and hurt her knee about two months 
ago, and left a hunch that covers her 
whole knee. She limps when I drive her. 
What can I do for it? w. F. B. 
Minnesota. 
If the swelling is soft it contains 
scrum and blood clots, if not pus, and 
should 'be opimed and treated by a vet¬ 
erinarian. If not soft, rubbing twdee 
daily with 10 per cent iodine, vasogen 
or petrogen should help, "or use a pro¬ 
prietary absorbent to be bought at the 
drug store. a. s. A.

I have a hor.se that has a sore near 
saddle. It is a little hole that discharges 
pus and blood. What could I do for 
him? I think it is a fistula. B,B. 
New Jersey. 
A patch of dead horny skin is present 
and will have to be dissected out by a 
surgeon before healing can take place. 
After the operation wet the wound two 
or three times daily with “white 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 before use.

Sharp Teeth in Pigs 
I have road and re-read advice to cut 
off sharp teeth of young pigs. I have a 
litter of 13 pigs four days old, and all 
their front teeth appear to-be sharp; if 
these were out off how could the pigs 
chew properly later on? I find one dead 
one every morning; and while numng it 
worries the sow, as if some had sharp 
teeth. How can a sharp tooth be told 
from the average? They all seem sharp. 
‘ Massachusetts. ir. n. R. 
Where sows in pig are richly fed their 
pigs at birth commonly have well-devel¬ 
oped. sliarp teeth, and these tend to lacer¬ 
ate the teats, or the noses of other pigs 
during frequent fights. We do not be¬ 
lieve in nip))ing off such teeth with 
pinchers, as the operation usually causes 
bruising or laceration of the gums, and 
infection and troublesome canker of the 
mouth is liable to result. Careful filing 
is safer treatment, and certainly advisable 
when the teeth are found to be lacerating 
the teats. The teeth in question are tem¬ 
porary or “milk” teeth, and are replaced 
bv permanent teeth as the pig grows. The 
molars (back teeth) do the grinding. The 
sow probably kills the pigs. A. S. A. 
Blind Teat 
We have a valuable cow whicli had 
milk fever, and one teat lias not given 
milk for the last throe or four mouths. 
AVill she come out all right after fresh¬ 
ening? A- tt- 
New .Tersey. 
The blind teat no doubt is permanently 
ruined for milk jiroduotiou. but the other 
quarters may yield a profitable amount of 
milk when the cow calves again. As the 
cow is in calf she should not be sold to 
the butcher. A. s. a. 
After 
a Hard, Long Winter 
of forced feeding on roughage and 
grain, many a cow breaks down 
under the strain. Avoid the sudden 
sickness and slow decline of produc¬ 
ing power. Keep your cows paying 
big. Make the 60-dollar a ton grain 
earn full value. Feed a pinch of
