Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, MARCH 27, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here: 
milk prices. 
New York, for April, $2.80 per 100 
lbs., equivalent to 6.02 cents per quart 
for three per cent milk, with an addi¬ 
tional 4c per 100 for every one-tenth of 
one per cent extra butter fat, at points 
200 miles from city. 
BUTTER. 
Receipts larger and prices on to grades 
of creamery five cents lower. The drop 
on dairy and other qualities is less.

Cracked Heels 
We have a mare, 10 yeans old, in good 
condition, that contracted scratches three 
or four years ago. Her feet and ankles 
are healed, leaving one heel and ankle 
swollen. Nothing we have doue so far 
has been of any use. This ankle gets 
worse in the Spring, during mud time, 
u hat would you advise doing for it? 
Vermont. j. l. f . 
As all horse owners know, it is much 
easier to permit these conditions to de¬ 
velop than it is to rid the horse of them. 
Cleanliness and good care will do much, 
hut some horses are predisposed to swell¬ 
ing of the legs and it is difficult to keep 
them permanently free from these dis¬ 
orders. Particular pains should be taken 
in the Spring to keep the horse’s feet and 
legs clean and dry, so far as is possible. 
Through the Winter, when idle, she should 
not be. heavily grain fed or allowed to 
stand in manure and filth. Occasional 
bran mashes, or other laxative foods, 
should he given. When the cracks appear, 
such lotions as sugar of lead 2 drams, wa¬ 
ter one quart, or sulphurus acid one 
part, glycerine one part, and water one 
part, may he applied on thin bandages. 
Or a mixture of vaseline, one ouuee; 
sugar of load, one dram, and carbolic acid 
10 drops, may he smeared on. To reduce 
the swelling, moderate exercise, hand rub¬ 
bing, and evenly and carefully applied 
bandages are resorted to. It is unneces¬ 
sary to say, however, that the work horse 
of moderate value can seldom he given 
the time and care necessary to put its legs 
into fully normal condition; if a little 
stocking of the leg remains after healing 
the cracks and reducing the accompany¬ 
ing inflammation, the result will have to 
he looked upon as about all that can he 
hoped for. m. b. d.

Mrs. Burke-Martin?” Mrs. ‘Wabash: 
"\es, Burke was her name before mar¬ 
riage and Martin was her husband’s 
name.’’ “But why does she use the hy¬ 
phen between the names?” "To show 
she’s separated from her husband,”—

Soft, Smooth Udders 
You like to see and feel udders and teats that are soft 
and smooth. You know such a condition means health 
and contentment—a full milk flow freely “given down.” 
Milking then is a pleasure. 
Compound 
heals and prevents chapped teats and udders. It makes the skin 
soft and smooth and pliable. Keep a box handy—rub in the Com¬ 
pound freely whenever the teats and udder seem rough. The 
natural skm food from sheep’s wool feeds and builds up the tis¬ 
sues By the use of North Star Antiseptic Compound Wool Fat 
you 11 soon enjoy milking the cow you used to leave ’til last.
