Take Bigger Milk Checks 
to the Bank 
That is just what Larro means to you—more milk 
from your cows and bigger milk checks to take to 
your bank. For seven years Larro has been sold on 
a guarantee which says you absolutely must get 
more milk or your money back. 
To the man who is not yet a Larro 
user the above guarantee is an absolute 
promise of better results from his cows 
—to the veteran Larro user it is double 
assurance that Larro today is the same 
as it was in the beginning—that its 
quality will never be changed. 
Why You Get More 
Milk With Larro 
You get more milk with Larro because 
it isn’t a one-sided ration, but a nu¬ 
tritious, balanced food. 
The protein is there—in just the pro¬ 
portion to maintain the highest possible 
milk flow over a long period, but the 
carbohydrates are there too, and the 
other necessary elements—all the in¬ 
gredients scientifically mixed by auto¬ 
matic machinery with just one purpose 
in view, to produce milk-pail results— 
at the same time maintaining the 
health of the cow. 
Buy Larro from Your Dealer 
Remember that no matter how much 
milk your cows are producing on their 
present ration, Larro is guaranteed to 
make them produce more. If your local 
dealer does not have Larro in stock

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Worms 
What is the best remedy for a horse 
with worms? I have tried every way and 
have not succeeded A. s. 
Ohio. 
You should have described the worms. 
Pin worms, which are small, live in the 
rectum, and are destroyed by injecting 
soapy warm water and tobacco tea, or a 
decoction of four ounces of quassia chips 
or powder to the gallon of boiling water, 
tised when cold. Intestinal worms are 
long and yellowish-white in color. To de¬ 
stroy them give an adult horse in damp¬ 
ened feed night and morning for a week 
a tablespoonful of a mixture of two parts 
of table salt, and one part each of flowers 
of sulphur and dried sulphate of iron, by 
weight; then stop for 10 days and then re¬ 
peat the treatment. Omit iron for a mare 
in foal and increase sulphur in proportion. 
Colts take less doses according to age and 
size, and the mixture is fairly successful 
for blood worths of these animals, which 
are small, red and square at one end, 
like a tiny shingle nail. 
Distemper 
Is there anything I can do that will 
keep my horses from getting distemper? 
I have heard that old teamsters used 
something to prevent this, but guarded it 
as a secret. a. v. d. 
West Virginia. 
Distemper is a term commonly applied 
to strangles of colts which is character¬ 
ized by formation of abscesses under the 
jaws. One attack of that disease general¬ 
ly renders the horse immune to further at¬ 
tacks. Influenza, however, may attack 
more than once. It cannot be prevented 
by use of a drug or medicine, hut your 
veterinarian, if a trained practitioner, 
can give hypodermic treatment with a 
serum which gives fair results as a pre¬ 
ventive. Meanwhile cleanse, disinfect 
and whitewash the stable. For horse sta¬ 
bles use lampblack or yellow ochre in the 
lime wash to give it a neutral tint. Pure 
white is trying to the eyes of horses. 
Swelling 
Yearling Jersey heifer returned from 
season in pasture with lump on lower part 
of jaw. Lump has now disappeared and 
swelling has developed in lower portion 
of hind leg, with a small opening over 
hoof; otherwise in fine condition. Do you 
think swelling local, or would you test for 
tuberculosis? r. h. s. 
Massachusetts. 
Every cow should be tested with tuber¬ 
culin on general principles, and the test 
is the more necessary when any symptom 
suggestive of tuberculosis is present. 
Lameness sometimes is due to that dis¬ 
ease. but the condition you describe more 
likely was caused by an injury. Poultice 
swelling with autiphlogistine applied hot 
and covered with cotton hattiug and a 
bandage. Remove the poultice each time 
the clay tends to become dry, and discon¬ 
tinue the treatment when inflammation 
subsides. Inject tincture of iodine into 
the opening, and also apply it to the 
swelling before poultieiug. 
Cough 
I have a mare six years old that has 
had distemper. I have given her oil of 
tar and bran mashes, hut she still con¬ 
tinues to cough. She has had this for 
about two months. I am afraid of heaves. 
Will you tell me what to do? j. k. 
New York. 
If heaves are present cough will be ac¬ 
companied by expulsion of gas from the 
rectum and there will be a double, bel¬ 
lows-like heaving of the flanks. If such 
is the case, wet all feed. Give oat straw 
and bright corn stover in preference to 
hay, and also feed silage or roots, wheat 
bran and oats. Keep the bowels active. 
If cough then persists, give half an ounce 
of Fowler’s solution of arsenic night and 
morning until it is relieved. Then grad¬ 
ually discontinue the mediciue, taking at 
least 10 days to the process. Equine 
cough syrup should be given if you find 
that it is not a case of heaves. 
Tumors in Muscle 
I have recently purchased a Jersey 
heifer in apparently fine condition, but 
she lias a large bunch on each hind leg. a 
few inches above the gambrel. Bunches 
are in the muscle, not the bone. I bought 
the animal from a veterinarian, who as¬ 
sured me he was confident the hunches did 
not indicate any diseased condition, hut I 
would like your advice on the matter. 
What are the symptoms of tuberculosis? 
h. s. G. 
Such bunches, in our experience, some¬ 
times are cancerous and incurable. In 
that event they are sensitive when 
pressed, feel spongy, hut contain no fluid. 
When excised they return worse than ever 
and accompanied by many more tumors, 
externally and internally. The seller 
should be asked if he is certain that the 
tumors are not cancerous. They are not 
probably due to tuberculosis. That dis¬ 
ease commonly is the cause of gradual 
emaciation and progressive weakness, 
often associated with cough or mysterious 
lameness. It may be present without 
causing nuy noticeable symptoms. To de¬ 
termine its presence the tuberculiu test 
, should be applied by a veterinarian.
