Questions About Abortion 
One of the leading topics for discussion 
among our readers who are interested in 
live stock is that of abortion in cattle. 
We probably receive more questions about 
this trouble than about any other single 
disease, or, in fact, any other point con¬ 
nected with the cattle industry. Appar¬ 
ently this disease or trouble is wide¬ 
spread. It is gaining, and causes great 
loss in many herds. Those who have 
large experience with it are interested 
to learn all they can of newer develop¬ 
ments in its study, while many to whom 
the trouble is new are not well informed 
regarding origin and treatment. Many 
articles have been printed concerning the 
trouble, not one of the very best pamph¬ 
lets on the subject is Bulletin 296 of the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station at Madi¬ 
63 
son. This is entitled “Contagious Abor¬ 
tion Questions Answered,” and was pre¬ 
pared by Dr. F. B. Hadley. The pamph¬ 
let is written in the form of a dialogue 
with leading questions about the disease 
and plain and brief answers. It makes a 
very clear statement about the trouble, 
what it is, how spread, how detected, and 
the best remedies or treatment in order to 
stamp it out or control it. This bulletin 
ought to have a wide distribution. It is 
not only sound in its facts, but written in 
such an interesting way that anyone can 
understand it. 
Enlarged Gland 
My cow, six years old, in fine condition, 
has a bunch in her throat about like a 
small egg, which sits between her jaw 
bones. At times she makes a noise not a 
cough but similar to it. This is a valu¬ 
able cow. What shall I do to remove 
bunch? e.b. 
Connecticut. 
Tuberculosis is to be suspected in this 
case and to make sure, one way or the 
other, you should have her tested with 
tuberculin. Any qualified veterinarian 
properly can apply the test, which is re¬ 
liable and harmless to an animal unaf¬ 
fected with tuberculosis. a. s. a.

Some delayed turkeys had to be sold 
at a considerable discount, but good stock, 
here in time to meet the best New Year 
trade, went a little higher than at Christ¬ 
mas as a rule.

Simplicity. The founders of this company deter¬ 
mined upon the principle of simplicity and this feature 
has been applied in the building of all Imple¬ 
ments for more than three-quarters of a century. The 
I^k© Line is noted for this—the absence of super¬ 
fluous parts, and yet for the masterly provision for all 
needed and useful adjustments. 
Strength. Strength is obtained, first—by the weight and 
quality of material; second, by the scientific use of material, 
securing that strength, rigidity and freedom from trappiness for 
which P*^ Implements are noted. 
Ease of Operation. Ease of operation is secured by a 
combination of simplicity with the application of certain me¬ 
chanical principles which have been followed out in the con¬ 
struction of all PtO Implements. 
76 Years ol "Knowing How” 
Hammered Into Every One of Them 
The P*tO Line has been delivering the goods for over 76 
years. It is a line built upon the idea that quality must receive 
first consideration—must be maintained regardless of any other 
consideration. It is not only a real quality line, but is a complete 
line, consisting of Plows, Harrows, Planters and Cultivators in 
all standard styles and sizes. 
PfcQ goods are sold exclusively through the retail implement 
dealers, and we have agencies throughout the country. We 
shall be pleased to send our catalog describing the entire line of 
P£Q Tillage Implements or the PiO Tractor Plow Catalog to any 
address. If you are interested in Tractor Plows, Tractor Disc 
Harrows, Tractor Listers or any other Tillage Implements, it 
will pay you to study the PfcQ line before purchasing.
