Live Stock Notes 
The Right to Dishorn 
I own a pair of dishorning clippers. 
Have I a legal right to dishorn my own 
cattle? Have I a right to dishorn cattle 
for my neighbors? If so, would it be 
legal to charge anything for my labor? 
Cayuga Co., N. Y. c. M. s. 
Our understanding is that you can use 
the clippers on your own cattle or work 
for the neighbors provided you make no 
charge for the work If you charge a fee 
for dishorning you are liable to a fine 
unless you can show a veterinary certifi¬ 
cate. The law, we judge, is designed to 
protect the verterinarian as much as to 
protect the cattle. 
Value of Young Stock 
Can you give me some idea of the aver¬ 
age increase in value of young stock in 
one year, starting as yearlings? Fed 
grain about six weeks last Spring, kept 
under average conditions, grade Guern¬ 
seys. G. L. S. 
North Bay, N. Y. 
If the animals are grades and they were 
worth $40 apiace when a year old, they 
should be worth now, if they have made a 
good growth and have been bred, $75 to 
$90, according to market values with 
which I am familiar. Therefore it would 
seem that they have practically doubled 
in value. H. s. B.

Roaring; Avian Tuberculosis 
1. A large seven-year-old horse had 
the influenza last Winter, and since then j 
when working hard makes a noise with j 
her breath. I have consulted a veteri¬ 
narian and he told me that she could be 
cured by an operation to the valves in her 
throat. * I never heard of such a thing, 
but have seen a horse which had a tube 
through its skin into the windpipe. Do 
you think there is any help for this 
horse? I think her trouble is called roar¬ 
ing. 2. Our hens are dying with what I 
call the liver-rot. Post-mortem shows the 
liver very large with whitish spots. Some 
times birds are lame and get very thin, 
while others die in good flesh. They will 
eat just as long as they can stand ; do not 
have any bowel trouble. These hens run 
outdoors when the weather is fit: all fed 
oats, barley, wheat, some meat and green 
stuff when shut in: have good water to 
drink, oyster shells, grit and plenty of 
room. G. G. H. 
New York. 
1. It is true that a difficult operation 
upon the cartilages aud soft tissues of the 
larynx relieves roaring in a good propor¬ 
tion of cases, but it can only be done by a 
specially trained surgeon. A permanent 
silver trachea tube inserted in the wind¬ 
pipe, as you suggest, also enables a 
“roarer” to work comfortably. 2. In all 
probability your chickens have tubereu- , 
losis, and if so, they should be killed and 
burned, and new sound stock put in after [ 
providing new quarters. Have a qualified 
veterinarian examine an affected bird.

Feeding Garbage. —Reports from cor¬ 
respondents that they have not been suc¬ 
cessful in the feeding of garbage to hogs 
are not surprising to me. There have 
been the same complaints here of hogs 
not fattening, and sometimes sickening 
and dying. I have several times fed gar¬ 
bage when a favorable opportunity to 
utilize it occurred, and always with good 
results. My. remedy for the digestive dis¬ 
orders usually following its use is cooking. 
A good boiling destroys any toxic poisons 
that, may be present. My theory is that 
this varied debris from the kitchen 
ferments quickly and starts generating 
acids injurious to the stomach even of a 
hog. A thorough cooking sterilizes it, 
and to make it more palatable I cook 
with it any potatoes, turnips or other 
roots that I may be able to get, and also 
mix in a liberal amount of ground corn. 
When ready to feed it is dipped out of 
the cooker into a half barrel aud then 
shorts are stirred in to make a slop that 
will., pour readily. If too thick, add 
water. I have always found hogs to do 
extraordinarily well on such a ration, and 
to make an average daily gain of not less 
than two pounds. L. J. k.

I’ll Cure the Worst Case 
of Lice or Itch On Any 
Cow—or You Don’t 
Pay Me One Cent 
A “tiek.v” cow is never a profitable one. 
She eats a great deal of feed that the in¬ 
sects on her back and sides get the benefit 
of—instead of its going into the produc¬ 
tion of milk. 
Some of my farmer friends tell me that 
a cow with the itch gives 40 per cent less 
milk than one that is clean and healthy. 
I believe them, too, because I have seen a 
lot of evidence that convinces me these 
farmers know what they are talking about. 
In these cold winter months the lice dig 
into the skin of the animal. When you 
apply a poisonous vermin remedy the lice, 
hunting for a hiding place to get away 
from it. dig in still deeper, and pretty soon 
the animal is suffering from Eczema, 
Mange. Ring Worm, Scabies, etc. Then 
you have not only lost your profits on the 
milk, but you may lose the price of a good 
cow. 
While I was introducing Tat-ol to vet¬ 
erinarians, large dairies and farmers, and 
proving that this remedy will cure any 
case of Blotchy Red Mange and Eczema. 
I was asked why I did not get up a non- 
poisonous remedy that I could absolutely 
guarantee would cure any “ticky” animal, 
a remedy that wouldn’t let the lice dig in, 
but would force them to the surface of the 
hair, so they could be seen and brushed off. 
Tat-ol “L” Is My Answer 
I positively and absolutely guarantee Tat-ol 
"L” to cure any case of itch or lice on any 
animal. No matter what failures you have had 
with other remedies. I positively guarantee that 
Tat-ol “L” will eure the animal. It is non- 
poisonous and could even be mixed with the milk 
and yet do no harm to anyone. I personally have 
drunk a lot of it to demonstrate how harmless 
It is. 
But, unlike other remedies, Tat-ol “L” doesn’t 
kill the lice on the animal to let them rot in the 
hair or on the skin. In a very few minutes after 
an application of Tat-ol “L" the lice are driven 
to the surface of the hair gasping in a semi¬ 
conscious condition, and you just remove them 
with comb or brush. It won’t take the hair off— 
won’t eat into the skin—it is not a poison—won’t 
hurt the animal. 
Remember Tat-ol “L” lias no poison in it. and 
therefore, no precaution need he taken with its 
use. Apply freely—even on and around the eye¬ 
balls. inside and outside the ears—on any part 
of the cows, horses, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, 
turkeys, ducks, birds. You can safely use it on 
the most delicate animals, birds or fowl. Posi¬ 
tively no harm can come from its use—only good. 
Try Tat-ol “L” At My Expense 
Send me your name and address on the coupon 
nnd let me send you a 16-ounce can of Tat-ol 
“L” prepaid. Just pay the postman $2.00 when 
it arrives. Use freely on any part where the 
lice are and the parasites will come right up. 
You can see them. Keep the 16 ounces for five 
days and if Tat-ol “L” isn't satisfactory in 
every respect send what you have left in the can 
back to me and I will immediately return your 
$ 2 . 00 . 
Don’t Send Money Now 
Just send the coupon back to me and I’ll send 
you a can of Tat-ol “L” to your address parcel 
post prepaid. Pax. the postman when you get 
the can. Then if it doesn’t do the work satis¬ 
factorily, send back what you have left and I’ll 
refund every cent you paid. Send for Tat-ol 
“L” now, but don’t send any money—just fill in 
the coupon and return it.
