Replace Your Old Separator 
With a New Viking 
Because— 
Butterfat at fifty cents per pound is equal to One 
Thousand Dollars per ton. The average fanner 
with eight cows handles a ton of butterfat yearly 
or ships its equivalent to the creamery. 
Upon the condition of his separator depends the 
result as to whether or not he has made money or 
lost for a loss of ten per cent, often means his 
entire profit. Old separators with unbalanced bowls 
often lose this much and more.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Eczema 
I have a Durham heifer due to freshen 
this month; she is in the best of health 
fat as butter, with a very good appetite. 
She has some kind of a skin disease on 
the under side of her body and on her 
udder and teats, a rash which, if left 
alone, will peel off in large scabs, being 
sore only when pressed. Scabs are as 
soft as the rest of the body, being a yel¬ 
lowish gray color. h. 0 . w. 
Durham is now' an obsolete name for 
the modern Shorthorn. These cattle, 
long ago were called Durhams. Today 
that name is only applied correctly to the 
Polled Durham, a title chosen of compar¬ 
atively recent years to designate hornless 
Shorthorns of pure breeding. The heifer 
should not be “fat as butter.” It would 
be better to have her muscular from ex¬ 
ercise in preparation for calving. Over¬ 
feeding also may have induced the skin 
trouble, if you are sure it was not caused 
by scalding upon a wet floor, or frostbite 
following such wetting. Reduce grain 
ration. Feed roots and bran to regulate 
bow'els. Enforce outdoor exercise daily. 
Provide a dry bed. Cleanse attacked 
parts once and then apply daily a mixture 
of equal quantities of carbolized vaseline 
and benzoated oxide of zinc ointment. 
Ear-shy Filly 
What is good for a colt three years 
old. perfectly gentle, work anywhere, but 
takes two men to put a bridle on her? 
She does not w’ant anyone to touch her 
ears. She will take the bit, but must not 
touch her ears. Is there a remedy? 
Virgina. S. F. H. 
There is no sovereign remedy in such 
cases, but a patient, persevering person 
who likes to fuss with fractious animals 
may in time break the filly of her bad 
habit. No one else should tackle the job. 
A passionate person would be more likely 
to break her ueck than her bad habits, 
or his own neck, if not too stiff-necked 
for that to be possible. It is a thankless 
task at best, seldom pays a busy mau to 
undertake and should be confided to a 
professional “breaker,” who possibly may 
succeed. 
Itching Skin 
What can I do for a cow with mange 
or scab? It produces itching around the 
head and neck, also at the root of the 
tail. The skin has become scurfy and 
the hair is coming out. I have washed 
her w'ith coal tar solution, also rubbed 
sulphur and lard on the parts, but with¬ 
out result. A couple of days after treat¬ 
ment the skin becomes dry and scurfy 
again. I cannot find any parasites. N. E. 
Pennsylvania. 
Wash the cow with tar soap and hot 
water using a brush to remove scales; 
then dry thoroughly aud blanket to pro¬ 
tect her against cold. Afterward' apply 
a mixture of tw T o ounces of flowers of 
sulphur, half au ounce of coal tar dip and 
one pint of cottonseed oil, if that proves 
necessary. Give her two ounces of Glau¬ 
ber salt in water every morning until her 
bowels respond. Then keep them slightly 
relaxed. 
Thin Mare 
I have a sorrel mare about 16 years 
old that is iu poor condition owing to pin 
worms. She has a ravenous appetite 
eats all the time; in fact that is about 
all she does. She gets the best of care, 
is fed good hay. Timothy and clover, gets 
three quarts ground corn aud oats twice 
daily, but is yet weak and poor. c. l. 
Have her teeth put in order by a vet¬ 
erinarian. Then feed crushed oats, 
wheat bran, roots and mixed hay. Night 
and morning give her half au ounce of 
Fowler’s solution of arsenic. Pin worms 
inhabit the rectum and cause tail rub¬ 
bing and stamping or kicking in the sta¬ 
bles but do not as a rule cause this con¬ 
dition or ill-thrift. They may be de¬ 
stroyed by injecting soapy warm water 
containing tobacco tar. 
Lame Pigs 
I have two Chester White pigs about 
14 weeks old ; their hind legs seem to be 
paralyzed. We have been feeding them 
middlings aud leavings from the table, 
including cooked potato skins, giving all 
they would eat three times a day. They 
have a good straw bed but small quarters 
about 6x10 feet. What causes lameness 
aud how caii I cure them. Would they 
be all right for breeding purposes if they 
got over their lameness? They are both 
sows. l. j. 
New York. 
Constipation from errors iu feeding and 
lack of exorcise causes such cases of 
rickets or paralysis. If the pigs cannot 
rise chances of recovery are poor, but 
a full dose of castor oil or epsom salts to 
freely move the bowels, given in time, 
sometimes restores ability to walk. Try 
that at once. If the pigs can walk make 
them run out daily, allowing free access 
to clover or alfalfa hay and to middlings, 
shelled corn aud digester tankage from a 
self-feeder, in addition to milk as a drink. 
Stop the house garbage for the present. 
Order Early Your 1920 
CREAM SEPARATOR 
Farmers in need of a new De Laval Cream Separator 
this year may wisely place their orders immediately if they 
have not already done so. 
For three years past, notwithstanding the 
constantly increased production, it has not been 
possible to make nearly enough De Laval ma¬ 
chines to meet the demand. We shall make 
25,000 more machines in 1920 than in any 
prior year, but are already behind 
deliveries in some sizes. Hence 
the importance of getting in your 
order early. 
Superior as De Laval 
Cream Separators have always 
been to other separators, they 
are better still in 1920. 
If you have milk to sepa¬ 
rate you can’t afford to waste 
quantity or quality of product, 
time and convenience, through 
the use of any other means of sep¬ 
arating than a De Laval machine. 
An improved De Laval 
Separator will surely save its cost 
in a few months, and will go on doing so every few months for many years. 
De Laval Separators speak for themselves. Their appearance and 
performance best demonstrate their superiority. Be sure you see and try 
one before buying any other or deciding to go on using an inferior or 
half-wom-out separator another year. 
Your De Laval local agent will be glad to afford you the oppor¬ 
tunity to do this. If you don’t know him simply address the nearest 
De Laval main office, as below.
