For Retained Afterbirth 
Cows can be made to clean easily without using force. 
When cows do not clean properly after calving, it indicates a genn infection 
which is likely to run through the entire herd and result in Abortion and Bar¬ 
renness. 
The after-birth should be removed at once without force by means of the 
B-K douche and the cow treated to prevent her becoming an abortcr 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. 
The B-K plan is simple and practical. It is giving wonderful results. A 
well known breeder of registered stock says: 
tl B-K is of great value in douching cows which do not clean readili] 
after calving. Have never known it to fail to bring all things right before 
the fourth day.” 
B-K is sold by Dairy and Farm Supply Dealers, General Stores, DruggistSi 
etc. If your dealer does not have it, send us his name.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Lice 
I bought a team of horses and they are 
blotched, the blotches raised like little 
lumps, and I find that one horse has lice 
and is rubbing his tail and hindquarters 
against the stall. The man I bought 
them from said he had bedded them with 
oat straw since October, and they would 
eat some of the straw, and he thought 
that might be the cause. I have used 
three or four simple remedies, but it does 
not seem to help them. Will you advise 
me what to do to get rid of this trouble? 
A. R. 
Cleanse, disinfect, whitewash, light and 
properly ventilate the stable. Lice may 
be killed by using a solution of coal tar 
dip made according to directions given by 
the manufacturer*! or with a decoction of 
one ounce of stavesacre or larkspur 
steeped in a quart of boiling water and 
allowed to stand for 24 hours before 
straining and using. If the weather is 
too cold to allow use of a liquid, dust af¬ 
fected parts of skin with a mixture of 
equal quantities of pyrethrum or sabadilla 
powder and powdered tobacco leaves and 
sulphur. Lice, lack of grooming, and 
sanitary stabling may be the cause of the 
lumps upon the skin, but you should have 
a veterinarian make an examination, 
as farcy, the skin form of glanders, is a 
possibility. a. s. a. 
Urticaria 
Could you tell me wliat nils my horse? 
He seems to have an itching scab on him ; 
there is no apparent discharge nor is his 
hair falling, but lumps can be felt on his 
hide, sometimes with small scabs on them. 
He never has been lousy, and I do not see 
how he could have the mange, as he has 
never been in a strange barn and was the 
only horse in my own pasture. He was 
in pasture, and 1ms a very heavy coat of 
hair. He gets six quarts of oats a day 
and good hay. As I have oxen and an 
auto the only exercise he gets is pulling a 
sleigh about 16 miles in a week. Am I 
feeding too heavily? s. F. 
New Hampshire. 
We suspect that sudden change of feed 
caused urticaria, also called surfeit or net¬ 
tle rash and similar to “hives” of children. 
Add one-sixth part of wheat bran, by 
weight, to the whole oats and dampen it 
at feeding time. Keep the bowels active 
by increasing the proportion of bran that 
is found necessary or by feeding carrots, 
which would be beneficial. See that the 
horse works or has exercise every day. 
If that is done the ration of oats is not 
too heavy. If he sweats in the stable 
clip the hair from the legs, about knees 
and hocks and from the belly up to a line 
with the straps of the breast collar and 
breeching. Allow free access to rock 
salt. If the trouble persists mix a table¬ 
spoonful of granular hyposulphite of soda 
in the feed each evening until itchiness 
subsides. * A s. A.

will straighten it? 4. What causes black 
teeth in pigs? Will removing the teeth 
effect a cure? A. b. c. 
New York. 
1. The horse may improve if you work 
him double with a well-broken horse or 
mare, or as the middle horse of a three- 
horse team. 2. Bots rarely cause any 
noticeable derangement and cannot be de¬ 
stroyed by any medicine that will not kill 
the horse. It is said that bisulphide of 
carbon will drive them out of the stom¬ 
ach. It is administered in gelatine cap¬ 
sules. Employ a veterinarian to give 
the medicine. Prevent bots by removing 
hot fly “nits” from the hairs of the 
horse’s breast and legs in Summer. 8. 
Shoeing may help, but we cannot give 
confident advice without seeing the case. 
4. The exact cause is unknown, but such 
teeth are harmless and they need not be 
removed. a. s. a. 
Caked Udder 
A cow about eight years old freshened 
about two months ago and gives three 
gallons of milk per day. She milks free¬ 
ly out of all four teats, but has a hard¬ 
ening on one side of her udder. We have 
rubbed it after milking with warm lard; 
it softens up, and after a while it starts 
in agitin. What can we do for it? 
Connecticut. C. B. 
Better milk this cow three times a day 
and massage the udder well each time. 
At night rub in warm castor oil. If that 
does not remove the hardening, rub in 
every other day a little of a mixture of 
one part of mercurial ointment and three 
parts of lanolin, or soft soap. If you 
use this ointment, wash the udder clean 
before milking, as mercury is poisonous. 
Do not let the cow lie ou a cement floor 
or cold ground. a. 8. A.

Next Year’s Crop 
Prepare for a better crop next year by shearing 
this season with a machine. Work is much 
easier. You not only get longer, better wool 
without scarring the sheep, but leave a smooth 
stubble that will increase next year’s growth. 
Use a Stewart No. 0 Ball Bearing Shearing 
Machine. Price $14. If your dealer can’t sup¬ 
ply you send us his name. Write for catalog.
