Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Harness Spots 
I have purchased a mule which has had 
sore shoulders pretty badly. I now have 
its shoulders healed, but the hair re¬ 
fuses to grow on the spot where it was 
sore. Can you give me a remedy that 
will grow hair on such bare spots? A. s. 
Hair will not grow where the roots 
have been destroyed. In such a case the 
only remedy would be to have a veterin¬ 
arian cut out the old sore and suture the 
wound to obtain healing by “first inten¬ 
tion'’ and practically without a scab. 
Thumps 
I have a pig about four months old 
which wheezes all the time, but more 
when he eats. He is in good condition. 
I have him in a horse stall in the barn. 
He is growing well. Will weigh 65 or 70 
lbs. I am feeding middlings and water, 
about a pint three times a day. What is 
the matter with him. Is there anything 
I can do for him ? C. L. H. 
Let the pig have free range and allow 
him to help himself to wheat middlings, 
shelled corn and digester tankage from 
a self-feeder. Also feed milk twice daily 
and allow free access to clover or al¬ 
falfa hay. Start treatment by opening 
the bowels freely with castor oil in milk, 
lie should then improve quickly. 
Rupture 
I have a cow that has a small rupture 
about the size of half a large apple lo¬ 
cated on the bulge of the body about the 
center between the front and hind legs. 
She is perfectly well and does not seem 
to be affected by it. Can it be bandaged 
or anything done for it? She is in fine 
condition, and will freshen in the Spring. 
Xew York L. T. H. 
We should advise leaving the little 
rupture alone, but if you must do some¬ 
thing let it be an application of tincture 
of iodine twice a week. The rupture will 
not however, be likely to hurt the cow.

HOLSTEINS 
Over $17,000 in Prizes for 
Milk and Butter Production 
Over seventeen thousand dollars in prize 
money for milk and butterfat production, 
was distributed among breeders of regis¬ 
tered Holstein-Friesian cattle during the 
year ended April 30, 1919. The official 
supervision by the Advanced Registry Of¬ 
fice of The Holstein-Friesian Association, 
of all regularly conducted tests, and the 
award of liberal prize money have proven 
a mighty stimulus and an educational fac¬ 
tor of great value, in the promotion of in¬ 
terest and progress in tlie breeding of 
Holstein cattle. 
Our booklets tell the whole story of 
Holstein progress.
