Strength 
(6 JN union there is strength” is an old saying , and u)e 
1 might add—“and protection.” 
Craine Silos consist of 3 walls instead of one—an 
inner wall of closely fitted staves covered by thick, 
waterproofed Craine Silafelt, and an outer wall of 
Crainelox continuous spiral covering. 
This union of a strong wall running up and down with another 
running around, gives strength and protection to every square 
inch of silo. Craine Silos are doubly insured against wind and storm. 
The inner Silafelt wall between two wood walls 
will defend your silage against escaping warmth or 
incoming cold or wet. 
Giants of strength that are as handsome as they 
are strong. No unsightly hoops to tinker with or 
neglect. Craine Silos stay put and keep on “Keep¬ 
ing Silage Good.” 
Send for literature and convince yourself that it 
pays to build a silo once and for all.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
BUY YOUR FENCING 
I bought a new milch cow just before 
she calved. I find now that after I milk 
a little the teats leak some and then stop. 
Is there any possible way to stop this 
leak? II. w. B. 
Maine. 
Milk thi - e"e times daily, and twice daily 
immerse the teats for five minutes or so 
in a strong solution of alum. If that does 
not suffice, coat the tips of the teats with 
melted wax or paraffin after milking, and 
; if that fails apply flexible collodion. 
There is no certain way of stopping the 
leaking while the cow is giving milk, but 
when she is dry a very little blistering 
salve placed in the orifice of each teat 
may have the effect of preventing the 
leakage when she is again giving milk. 
This is a somewhat dangerous procedure, 
however, and is best doue by a veterina¬ 
rian.

Destroying Lice 
What can he done for a horse infested 
with lice? I have tried carbolic soap with 
little result; the parasites do not like it; 
they come out and fill up with fresh air, 
then when the hair dries a little they dis¬ 
appear. I think they go back. An old 
book advises soaking horse in new rum. 
Massachusetts. tr. a. b. 
Your New England rum remedy is, of 
course, out of the question, and it would 
be a blessing could we get rid of liquor 
and lice together. But liee still are with 
us, and they do say that illicit, stills also 
are flourishing, so the hunt against both 
must continue. The trouble is that horse¬ 
men treat the animal and not the stable, 
so that the horses become infested over 
and over again, just as men become be¬ 
fuddled when treated with “moonshine” 
at every opportunity, if the still is not de¬ 
stroyed. Perfectly cleanse, disinfect or 
fumigate and whitewash the stable, in ad¬ 
dition to treating the horse. In cold 
weather a mixture of equal quantities of 
freshly powdered pyrethrum powder, flow¬ 
ers of sulphur and finely powdered tobac¬ 
co leaves will destroy lice if freely dusted 
upon infested skin and then closely cov¬ 
ered with a blanket. If a liquid con 
safely be used, kerosene emulsion is quite 
effective, and a stronger solution of it does 
well for spraying walls and woodwork. A 
more effective solution is made by steep¬ 
ing four ounces of stavesacre or larkspur 
seeds in a gallon of water and allowing to 
stand covered for 12 hours. This “tea” 
is poisonous, however, so must be care¬ 
fully used. A solution of coal tar dip, 
adding flowers of sulphur freely, also is 
effective. Repeat the treatment in 10 
days. 
Indigestion 
I bought a Jersey cow last March. 
When I bought her she had a cough, and 
she still has it. She has been tested by 
the United States Government medical in¬ 
spectors and has passed the test with high 
marks. S’ calved April 1G, and had a 
touch of milk fever. I had a doctor and 
cured her of the milk fever. I asked him 
about the cough and he said it would go 
away as soon as she got out on pasture. 
The past four weeks I have noticed her 
breath smelling like onions ; she goes up 
and down in her milk. She is milking 
10 to 11 qts. of milk a day, where a month 
ago she was milking 14 qts. What can 
I do with her cough? m. j. d. 
Chronic cough may proceed from indi¬ 
gestion and in some cases is due to a 
sharp object lodging in the stomach wall, 
diaphragm or heart wall. There is no 
remedy for the latter cause. On general 
principles we would advise you to give 
the cow a pound of glauher salts and a 
cupful of molasses in three pints of warm 
water slowly and carefully as one dose 
from a lo-g-neeked bottle. After the 
physic has ceased to operate mix in each 
feed a heaping tablespoonful of a mixture 
of two parts of powdered wood charcoal 
and one part each of bicarbonate of soda 
and _ powdered hydrastis. If the cough 
persists you might try the effects of glyeo- 
heroin or equine cough syrup, which is 
also excellent for cows. Wet all feed. 
Keep the stable clean and free from 
noxious gases, as they tend to cause 
cough. Feed ground barley and oats, 
wheat bran and oilmeal, along with silage 
or roots and good clover and Alfalfa hay. 
Sore Mouth 
My white poodle does not eat and 
has sores about his mouth. lie loses con¬ 
trol of his hind legs and falls. I feed 
him on nothing but boiled meat. lie is 
five years old. e. w. w. 
Meat should be fed raw to dogs, or in 
vegetable soup not containing potatoes. 
The dog may have what is termed “black 
tongue” in the South, a malignant form 
of stomatitis, which often proves fatal. 
Scrape each ulcer clean, then swab once 
with tincture of iodine and afterward 
twice daily with a two per cent solution 
of permanganate of potash. If that does 
not suffice substitute a solution of 10 
grains of sulphate of copper to the ounce 
of water. It would be better still if you 
could have a qualified veterinarian ex¬ 
amine the dog, as one at a distance can 
only guess at what may he the trouble.
