For All Livestock 
A feed that takes the place of the high priced 
grains consumed by farm animals. Costs less 
and gets better results than any grain or com¬ 
bination of grains. 
Manufactured from the best ingredients obtainable, 
and every factor of it is clean and essential in complet¬ 
ing a perfectly balanced body-building stock feed. 
True Value Stock Feed 
insures the greatest economy and convenience for the 
general livestock farmer. It is not only 
a scientifically balanced ration for 
general feeding, but it is an ideal basis 
upon which to build any special¬ 
ized feed by the addition of the prop¬ 
er concentrates.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Lame Cow and Horse 
1. I have a cow about six years old 
that is gradually losing the use of her left 
hind leg. I bought her in October, 1918. 
and she was slightly lame them Since 
then the leg appears to be drying up from 
the hip down, and she carries all the 
weight on the other foot. About four 
years ago I had a cow the same way, and 
the whole ■ left hindquarter dried up to 
nothing but skin and bone. As this cow 
is a fairly good milker I do not like to 
sell her. *'Whether this is due to disease 
or an accident I do not know. Is there 
any remedy for such a case, and. if not, 
what would be best to do with her? 2. 
I have a horse that has side bones quite 
badly, and ho is lame on the left front 
foot. After driving a mile or two in a 
wet. muddy road, lie walks much better. 
He is about 14 years old. o. a. r. 
New York. 
1. Injury to the trophic nerve of the 
thigh may' be the cause of such wasting 
(atrophy) of the muscles of the leg, but 
as disease (tuberculosis) also is a possible 
and incurable cause, you should have the 
cow tested with tuberculin. Meanwhile, 
give the affected parts a brisk rubbing as 
often as you can spare time, and each 
evening rub in a stimulating liniment, 
such as an ounce each of turpentine and 
aqua ammonia, shaken up in 12 ounces of 
raw linseed oil or cottonseed oil. 2. Keep 
cold wet swab constantly, upon the hoof- 
head for a month: then, if lameness per¬ 
sists. clip off the hair and blister several 
times at intervals of two or three weeks.

Breaking a Colt 
When and how should I break a colt 
about nine months old? D. J. 
Cumberland Co., Me. 
Begin “gentling'’ a colt, not “breaking” 
it. at birth, by handling it daily until that 
causes no alarm. Gradually then it may 
be accustomed to a halter, then to be 
driven with lines after becoming accus¬ 
tomed to a bit. Then to back at word 
of command as well as learning to “get 
up” and stop. These things learned the 
next step is to put on all the harness 
and learn to pull a log or be hitched into 
and pull a strong shafted, sulky. Start 
now to train the colt in this way. 
Calf Dysentery 
There is something very much wrong 
with my newly-born calves. Directly 
after they have nursed their mother they 
become dull, their noses dry, and a yel¬ 
lowish water-like fluid oozes from their 
bowels. They lie down all the time and 
are weak. They remain in such a condi¬ 
tion for two or three days, then die. What 
is one to do? A. A. 
New York. 
This is the infectious form of dysentery 
termed calf cholera or white scours which 
proves incurable in a majority of cases, 
but may be prevented with a fair degree 
of success by vaccination at birth. Con¬ 
sult your veterinarian about this. The 
immunization is brought about by hypo¬ 
dermic injection of polyvalent calf dysen¬ 
teric serum, or white scour bacteria at 
birth. Also saturate the navel with tinct¬ 
ure of iodine at birth and disinfect the 
teats and udder before the calf is allowed 
to nurse. Provide a new, clean pen for 
new-born calves. Cleanse, disinfect and 
whitewash the cow stable.

Because of their perfect, air-tight,

Stiffness 
I have a five-year-old driving mare 
which at times is pouy-gaited behind; 
takes little short steps, and it seems to be 
hard work for her to draw a light buggy, 
but improves after travel. Urine is not 
the right color, but milky. V hat is the 
trouble, and what can I do for her? 
New Hampshire. f. ii. f. 
An examination would he necessary to 
determine the cause of the stiffness de¬ 
scribed. but it is suggestive of bone spav¬ 
in. Prolonged feeding of ripe millet hay 
may also cause hock joint stiffness or 
lameness. If you cannot have a trained 
veterinarian examine the mare we would 
suggest allowing her a roomy box stall 
when in the stable and turning out in a 
yard or pasture when not at work. 
The Gulf Between City and Country 
(Continued from page GOG) 
They don’t read farm papers, hut they do 
read daily papers. The daily paper is the 
great, universal educator. How much d<> 
you suppose the Standard Oil or the beef 
trust, or the beer trust, spends a year for 
advertising space in these papers? How 
much do they spend for propaganda—it 
may be a very popular progaganda—hut 
it's propaganda, just the same? How 
many skilled writers do they hire, how 
many pictures do they print? And then 
do you wonder why the people are unfa¬ 
miliar with farm conditions, farm prices, 
farm labor costs? You have to take the 
people into your confidence in these mat¬ 
ters. Basically, the American people are 
fair. If they have the information which 
will enable them to form an intelligent 
opinion, you may almost always rely on 
them in the long run to do the square 
thiug. It is up to the farmer to give 
these people the facts.
