The Sensible Leader of the 1920 Tractor Field 
N owadays the chug-chug of the 
farm tractor is heard in every 
corner of the land. Tractors are at 
work in the fields of many thousands 
of farms and if you look them over 
you will find them a mixed lot. 
Tractor farming is still in its youth. 
Novelty is still in the surge toward 
power farming. 
The impractical theorists are still in 
the ring, limping but not out of the 
running. Adventurers who swarmed 
into what they termed the ‘ ‘game” are 
still “playing.” The hazards facing 
the farmer in search of reliable power 
are many. 
i In all this turmoil, one tractor like 
a steady star has lighted the way. 
That tractor bears the trusted name— 
Titan 10-20. It has led because it is 
the product of practical builders of 
good farm machines; because it is 
backed by many years of experience 
and unquestioned reputation. 
Today Titan 10-20 is the standard- 
setter among all tractors. During the 
past year it has been the topic of con¬ 
versation on the tongues of farmers 
and tractor makers the nation over. 
Selling at the popular low price— 
$1000 ash f. o. b. factory—Titan 
10-20 faced a sensational demand. A 
few months ago this desire for Titan 
ownership had flooded the factory with 
thousands of orders which could not 
be filled at once, though a new Titan 
was being turned out every few 
minutes. 
Every effort is being directed to 
greater production and to continued 
Titan 10-20 pre-eminence during 1920. 
In view of manufacturing difficulties 
however, this is earnest advice to the 
intending purchaser: 
Orders for Titan 10-20 — and also for 
International 15-30 and International 
8-16 — must be placed far in advance. 
No other course will assure delivery*

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Eczema 
I have a hound puppy, which had 
some skin trouble. First the skin got 
rod and very irritable. I washed him 
well and rubbed him with beef fat; the 
trouble improved. Now he walks as if 
his front paw, the left one, was out of 
joint, but has no pain if I touch it. I 
feed him on eornmeal mush and milk, 
white bread and a little coffee. IIow 
often should I feed him, and what is the 
best for him? MRS. r. R. 
N. J. 
Stop feeding eornmeal and bread. Sub¬ 
stitute raw or cooked meat, vegetable 
soup, without potatoes, and oatmeal and 
milk. A big, raw beef bone given twice 
a week would be good for him, and if he 
is constipated correct that by feeding 
parboiled liver. One meal each evening 
will suffice with the bones fed daytimes. 
Make him live out of doors as much as 
possible. Trim the toe nails. One may 
be ingrown, but without an examination 
we cannot say exactly what is wrong with 
the foot. 
Eye Disease 
I have a five-year-old horse, 1,200 lbs., 
with water running from eyes at times. 
Eyes are cloudy; have been so for several 
months. Hind legs stock just a very lit¬ 
tle. Dam was sound in every way, grand 
dam blind for years. Local veterinarian 
says no cure; has made no examination. 
New York. w. r. 
The horse no doubt is afflicted with 
periodic ophthalmia, commonly called 
moon blindness, and it is incurable and 
will end in blindness of one or both eyes 
from cataract. This may be retarded 
somewhat by dissolving one dram of iodide 
of potash in the drinking water twice 
daily at time of attack, and at such times 
covering the eyes with a soft cloth, to be 
kept constantly wet with a saturated so¬ 
lution of boric acid. Between attacks 
wet the eyeballs every other day with a 
few drops of 15 per cent solution of argy- 
rol. Keep the stable somewhat darkened. 
Enlarged Membranes 
I have a cat nine years old which has a 
thick white skin growing over both eyes. 
It commenced growing one month ago in 
the lower part of the eyes, is half way 
now, almost covering the sight. I have 
been using warm boracie acid solution, 
but cannot see that it does any good. 
New York. mrs. h. s. h. 
If you are sure that the cat is not af¬ 
fected with tetanus (lockjaw) which 
causes the inembrana nictitans from the 
inner corner of the eye to protrude part 
way over the eyeball, we should suspect 
that tumors or enlargements of the mem¬ 
brane (bard) are present and these read¬ 
ily could be removed by operation. Take 
the cat to a qualified veterinarian for ex¬ 
amination. _ 
Pruritis 
My two little dogs have some skin dis¬ 
ease, as they scratch at all times ; no fleas. 
I have seen doctors, but they do not help 
them. One has had a little hair come 
out at one ear. The dogs weigh 6 lbs. 
each, and cost $250 each. ‘u. c. s. 
Connecticut. 
As the dogs are so valuable you should 
have them treated by a specialist, such as 
may be found in New York City. He 
could arrange to keep the dogs while un¬ 
der treatment. We suspect that overfeed¬ 
ing, lack of exercise and living in a warm 
room have much to do with the skin dis¬ 
ease, which does not appear to be para¬ 
sitic mange. Make the dogs live outdoors 
sa far as possible and allow only one 
small feed each eveuiug. Do not give 
them any sweets or potatoes. Raw meat 
would be good for them; also vegetable 
soup. Tub them in a solution of coal tar 
dip made according to the directions given 
by the manufacturer, or a veterinarian, 
and when dry apply sulphur ointment 
I freely to the irritable parts. Repeat the 
application every three or four days, but 
do not apply grease or oil to a large sur¬ 
face of the body at one time. 
Depraved Appetiti 
What is the cause of mules eating the 
manger and chewing all wood they can 
reach? We feed corn and oats with 
plenty of good hay, and sometimes corn 
fodder, plenty of stock powder, and sail 
within their reach at all times; good 
spring water for drinking. Is there any¬ 
thing they need that causes them to **at 
wood, or what would prevent it? We 
have put tires from wagon wheels on 
mangers to stop them from chewing. 
Pennsylvania. mrs. m. r. 
Stop the stock powder. It is quite un¬ 
necessary and may be doing much more 
harm than good. Add wheat bran freely 
to the ration. Never let the mules stand 
for a single day without work or exer¬ 
cise. If possible let them eat the bark 
of poplar (“popple”) stems and boughs. 
That often proves remedial. If that does 
not avail, or if you cannot provide such 
a remedy, mix iu the feed twice daily a 
tablespoonful of a mixture of two parts 
of bicarbonate of soda and one part each 
of powdered mix vomica, ground gentian 
root and fenugreek until depraved appe¬ 
tite subsides. 
With high-priced labor, seed and supplies the liberal 
use of the right fertilizer brings the biggest net returns. 
have a reputation based on 58 years of profitable crop 
production,—a good reason for choosing Bradley’s. We 
are now prepared to supply the demand for potash goods.

no Bradley agent in your section, ask us to explain about 
our agency plan.
