Insures Cow Health 
1 I ’HE insulating blanket of still air in a 
Natco stable wall prevents sudden tem¬ 
perature changes. It protects the health of 
your cows and keeps up the milkflow in 
uncertain weather. Natco Hollow Tile 
walls do not gather moisture as do walls of 
solid masonry, nor do they absorb grease, 
dirt or foul odors. 
Natco Barns 
Secliou of Natco 
Wall shoving 
still air spaces 
are a permanent investment — not an expense. 
They need no painting and very seldom require 
repairs. They withstand severest windstorms and y' 
are fire-safe, being constructed of burnt clay tile. 
Natco walls are exceedingly strong. Masons lay 
up these walls very rapidly, easily handling the 
large-size units. 
Whatever you intend to build, build it with Natco Hollow 
Tile. Many uses are pictured and explained in our book, 
“ Natco on the Farm.” Write for it today — free.

Clean Separators 
—Healthy Udders 
I N THE BUSY DAIRY we’re apt to 
overlook some of the details that vitally 
effect the final profits. 
A clean separator means sweet, fragrant cream— 
the kind that makes top-notch butter. Germ-X 
solution loosens slime and kills bacteria quicker 
than live steam. It shortens the work of cleaning 
dairy utensils. 
North Star Anti-Septic Wool Fat Compound 
keeps teats and udders smooth and pliable. Cows 
with healthy udders “give down” more milk—pay

rebuilds wounded tissues. Use it, too, for foot and 
skin diseases of horses.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Worms in Cats 
What can be done for worms in cats? 
Cats are thin and the hair looks dull, and 
they are hungry all the time. Sometimes 
they vomit froth with long small worms. 
Is too much meal liable to cause them, as 
they have meal cakes a good deal? 
Connecticut. A. R. 
Worms can only come from worm eggs, 
usually taken in drinking water or feed 
from contaminated vessels or places. 
Starve the cat for 24 hours and then give 
one to three grains of santoniu. accord¬ 
ing to size and follow in half an hour 
with a dose of castor oil shaken up in 
milk. A large cat may have five drops 
of turpentine added to the dose of castor 
oil. Repeat the dose in 10 days. 
Tetanus 
What is the matter with a shote that 
was taken sick very suddenly? Age about 
six months, weight 1G0 lbs. ; always per¬ 
fectly healthy; ground feed, rye. barley 
and oats, with corn in the ear. Symptoms 
seemingly a partial paralysis, attempt¬ 
ing to walk and seemingly no strength in 
the legs; did not seem to be able to open 
the mouth wide enough to eat an apple or 
corn from the ear, but can now eat 
ground feed slop very well. The pas¬ 
sages from the bowels were very hard and 
dark colored. Do not think there was 
much fever. What would you prescribe 
as a remedy? l. B. S. 
New York. 
The symptoms indicate a mild attack 
of tetanus (lockjaw), which would be due 
to invasion of a wound by the tetanus 
bacillus which lives in earth and dirt in 
stables and yards. This germ grows in 
the absence of air or oxygen and is killed 
by sunlight and fresh air. It commonly 
attacks animals after castration, if the 
wound closes quickly and happens to en¬ 
close tetanus germs. Treatment is use¬ 
less in acute cases. Quiet and laxative 
rations containing salts or raw linseed oil 
are beneficial. Partial or complete par¬ 
alysis also may result from overfeeding 
and constipation. A four to six-ounce 
dose of epsom salts should be given in 
warm water or slop when a hog is seen to 
be constipated; then laxative feed, con¬ 
taining salts if necessary, should be given 
until the bowels remain relaxed without 
medicinal treatment. 
Ailing Sow 
We have a sow which was treated with 
the serum and virus treatment for hog 
cholera, as cholera was in this vicinity. 
Sow w-as healthy and was in fair flesh 
when treated. Iler pigs were eight weeks 
old and did very little nursing. Two days 
later she was taken very sick, and is now 
very weak, especially in hind legs; is 
verv thin in flesh, appearing to have lost 
50 to 75 lbs. in last four days. The right 
side of her head and neck is very much 
swollen, and although she tries to eat a 
little it appears to give her a great deal 
of distress. What is the trouble with 
her? C. M.yt. 
New Jersey. 
The veterinarian who applied the treat¬ 
ment is the one who should determine 
what is wrong with the sow, and he 
should have been called in at once. One 
at a distance cannot make a confident 
diagnosis in such a case, hut it is possible 
for infection to follow an injection of 
serum or virus, or a hog to. suffer from a 
disease other than cholera just after vac¬ 
cination. Virus causes a mild attack of 
cholera, which makes the animal immune, 
but it is possible for the attack to he more 
severe than expected, and that may he so 
in this case. The veterinarian, however, 
will no doubt be able to assign the exact 
cause after examination. 
Cure for Warts 
I have a fine two-year-old colt that had 
a wart on his cheek, 1V6 in* back of the 
eye. It was about 1 in. in diameter and 
growing larger; it was raw and looked 
bad. I had a chemical mixture intended 
for other purposes which I applied, and 
it proved very satisfactory, removing the 
growth, leaving the skin smooth, and no 
scar whatever. Am I entitled to any re¬ 
muneration for this discovery as a val¬ 
uable cure for warts on horses or other 
animals, or should I give it free for the 
benefit of all? A. K. F. 
The fact that the wart disappeared 
when treated with the preparation you 
mention does not insure its success on all 
like cases or on other growths. Often one 
credits a medicine with success when the 
subsidence of disease or disappearance of 
a growth was merely incidental. It is 
for that reason that the manufacturer of 
a quack or proprietory medicine always 
is sure to receive glowing testimonials 
from grateful users of his dope who would 
not take $5 for the bottle (presumably 
empty) could they not get another supply 
of what, did they know it. really was only 
pink water or some equally harmless and 
inert fluid. Have a heart aud tell others 
of the chemical mixture that apparently 
did the work in the ease mentioned, but 
be prepared to take the blame if it fails 
or does harm in another case. One can¬ 
not always most generally tell, as David 
Haruin said, just how such things act.
