CRAIN, 
A two-day conference on Government 
handling of the coming wheat crop was 
i-ecently held at New York, Among 
other matters discussed were supervision 
of grades, about which there was much 
controversy last year, elevator facilities 
for taking care of the apparently large 
crop in sight, agreement forms between 
the Grain Administration and the millers 
and dealers and a possible premium to 
be paid farmers who were situated so 
that they could hold their crops for a 
time and thus prevent overloading the 
market, during the harvest season and 
early Winter. The premium period sug¬ 
gested was from July 1 to Feb. 1, and 
the premium price for such holding 1% 
to 2c per bu. over the Government mini¬ 
mum. The probable wheat crop of this 
country is estimated at 1.200,000,000 
bushels, but the Grain Administration 
does not favor any lowering of first hand 
prices under the Government minimum, 
even though for lack of storage or press¬ 
ing need of money a producer might be 
willing to cut the price to make imme¬ 
diate sale. The Administrator stated in 
answer to questions that the Government 
minimum price must be maintained until 
good reason for a change was evident. 
Following are the Government prices 
on No. 2 red wheat in various markets: 
New York. $2.37% 5 Chicago, $2.23; Bal¬ 
timore, $2.35% ; Kansas City, $2.13; St. 
Louis. $2.21. No. 3 yellow corn at New 
York is quoted at $1.88%; Chicago, 
$1.72. Oats, No. 3, white. New York, 
70c; Chicago, 67%e. Rye, New York, 
$1.58% ; Chicago, $1.48.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Equisetum Poisoning 
We have a mare that cannot drink nor 
eat: she runs at the nose and mouth and 
one eye is nearly blind. She has a white 
frothy stull’ come out of her nose mixed 
with blood. She seems nearly paralyzed 
in her hindquarters. There are little 
white spots on her right eyelid. We had 
a veterinarian examine her and he says 
she ate a weed called horse-tail. lie left 
medicine, but she gets no better. I am 
sending some of the weed. Can you tell 
me what to do for her? J. t. 
Connecticut. 
The specimen arrived in a broken up 
condition, but enough was left to show 
that the plant is Equisetum (horse-tail 
or scouring rush). We are not at all sure, 
however, that it is the cause of the symp¬ 
toms described, but we cannot decide with¬ 
out an examination just what is wrong. 
The symptoms suggest partial paralysis, 
or possibly there is a growth in a nostril. 
The veterinarian should be depended upon 
to give suitable treatment, but might try 
the effects of iodide of potash, if that has 
not been done. 
Warts 
I have a horse that has a wart on his 
nose and one behind his front quarters. 
I would like to remove them. Can you 
tell me some remedy ? F. H. 
Delaware. 
If the warts have narrow necks ligate 
tightly with a fine cord or put on a few 
small rubber bands, and they soon will 
drop off. It would be better still to have 
them dissected out by a veterinarian. A 
saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda 
applied twice daily has recently been 
recommended as effective for the removal 
of warts and might be tried in this case.

POULTRYMAN wanted for gentleman’s country

bators, brooders, etc., and be able to furnish

Skin Trouble 
I have a little dog two months old; he 
scratches his head and loses the hair. 
What will cure him? He gets only milk, 
bread and little pot cheese. mrs. b. 
New Jersey. 
Keep the puppy free from fleas by 
applying a one per cent solution of coal 
tar dip to infested parts and also to the 
head. If sores are present apply sulphur 
ointment freely when the skin is dry. 
Sheep Dying 
I am losing my sheep; they commence 
to act dumpish, do not eat, have sore 
noses, swell under the jaws, lie down 
most of the time, and then they die. I 
wish you could give me something to help 
them, as I am losing some very nice 
registered ones. w. a. s. 
New York. 
The dropsical swelling under the jaws 
indicates bloodworms and debility, prob¬ 
ably due to intestinal parasites. The dis¬ 
charge from the nose probably is caused 
by gadfly grubs in the sinuses of the 
head, for which there is no certain 
remedy. On general principles we should 
advise you to withhold feed for IS hours 
or more and thou give a one per cent 
solution of sulphate of copper (blue- 
stone). The dose is from three-fourths 
to three ounces, according to age and size 
of lambs or sheep. It kills stomach 
worms and tapeworms, but a . dose of 
Epsom salts should be given six hours 
or so afterward to clean the bowels. Do 
not give it pregnant ewes. Feed the 
sheep generously.
