Quid: fattening at least costisfirst 
consideration of all hog raisers. 
Get more nourishment out of your high- 
priced grains. Keep your ho~s’ digestive 
systems toned up so that they assimilate 
their food properly. 
The main objection heretofore to most but¬ 
termilk has been the excessive cost, incon¬ 
venience and expense of handling, no 
guaranteed standard and the poor keeping 
qualities during the different seasons. Over¬ 
come all these difficulties by using 
MILKOLINE 
the base of which is Pure Modified Buttermilk, 
“With the proper acids and fats added which 
make it asatirfactory substituteforbuttermillc. 
MILKOLINE comes in a condensed form. It 
■will keep indefinitely in any climate and will 
not mold, rotor sour. For feedlng.mix one part 
MILKOLINE with 50 parts water or swill and 
feed with your usual grain feeds. It wiil keep 
your hogs healthy, their appetites keen and 
make more pork per bushel of grain. 
Stop buying ’‘Buttermilk” of uncertain 
quality. Uco MILKOLINE and you will al¬ 
ways be sure of an even, unlfo-m acidity, 
and at a cost of two cents a gallon or less 
when mixed as stated above.

Worms in Poultry; Chicken-killing Animal 
L Do many chickens have worms? I 
noticed that one of the hens had worms, 
Y\ hat would be the best treatment for 
such cases? Last Sunday night I saw a 
startling sight in one of the henhouses, 
three chickens killed and 14 wounded 
These chickens all sleep on a four-foot 
roost. Where the animal entered the pen 
was an opening 8x10 inches. Most of 
the hens which were hurt had big marks 
on the middle of the back. According to 
the mark the animal had very sharp 
teeth. The three chickens which were 
dead had not a drop of blood in them. 
The chickens which were wounded were 
very weak. It seems the animal was af¬ 
ter blood only. I found next morning 
the remains of an animal, or rather part 
of it, in a field close by: the two front 
feet, which were like pig’s feet, only 
they were hoof instead of toes, the size 
of a small pig. This seemed freshly 
killed by our dogs. Is this a new kind 
of animal or a deformed pig? What 
really was after the chickens, do von 
think? w. s. \i. 
1. Fowls are frequently infested by in¬ 
testinal worms, which, unless present in 
large numbers, appear to do them little 
harm. A good general remedy is turpen¬ 
tine in teasnoonful doses, hut mixed with 
some other bland oil. like olive or castor, 
in equal quantity to make it less irri¬ 
tating. 
2. In my locality such attacks upon 
the henroosts are usually laid at. the door 
of the weasel, though there are doubtless 
other animals quite as bloodthirsty and 
difficult to catch at their work. It is 
evidently blood, rather than meat, that 
these animals want, and they often kill 
a number of fowls in one night. 
M. B. D. 
Egg Broken Internally 
1. Can you tell me what is to be done 
for a hen when she breaks an egg before 
she lays it? This occasionally happens, but 
I have been unsuccessful in my efforts to 
save a hen in this condition and would 
be glad if you advise. 2. Where is the 
Barron poultry farm located? e. a. p. 
GaylordviUe, Conn. 
1. When an egg is broken in the ovi¬ 
duct an inflammation of that organ is 
likely to be set up which finally results 
in death ; occasionally, too. a hen is found 
dead with a broken egg in the oviduct, 
but with no inflammation present. In 
these latter cases it is likely that the 
injury that caused the breaking of the 
egg also caused the death of the hen. I 
know of no treatment of value in either 
case. 
2. The location of the Tom Barron 
poultry farm is at Catforth, near Pres¬ 
ton, England. m. B. D.

I have about two acres of soggy land. The sweet 
clover on this land was as high as the horses, and with 
8talks from last year still on the land. The Moline 
Mower is the only mower that I wasable to cut this clover 
with, and 1 have tried them all. I consider the Moline 
Mower the best that is built, Tbe mower is tbe lightest 
draft machine I ever hitched a team to, and certainly do 
recommend the Moline Mower to any one considering the 
purchase of a mower, — A. C. Maneman, Payette, Idaho. 
This letter showc what service you can expect from 
3 ,^°^ ne Mower. The Moline gives such satisfaction 
wherever used and will give you better service than you 
ever obtained from a mower before. 
It will cut any kind of grass; it is unusually light in 
draft, and it will give you from 25 to 40 
years of satisfactory service—many Moline 
Mowers have been used longer than this. 
And remember, the Moline Mower 
is not a new mower, but has been in use 
in all parts of the world for the last 60 years. 
Space does not permit us to tell you 
all about the good points of the Moline 
Mower. Send for Folder R. F. 22, which 
've will gladly send you, and you will readily see why 
the Moline Mower gives such splendid satisfaction, year 
^ - after year, cutting all kinds of grass. 
The Moline Rake is also described in folder R.F. 22. 
Compare it point by point 
with any other rake made 
--kk-unj. and you will agree that 
it is in a class by itself.
