Because of its great strength—ability to stand twists and strains in? severe 
conditions—the John Deere is easy on the horses. Don’t overlook this im¬ 
portant quality. The rigid construction prevents the working parts from 
getting out of alignment. The drive chains, the drive shafts, the sickle, 
and canvases all run true—no binding to cause heavy draft. This construction 
also prevents excessive wear and breakage even in the roughest,hilliest land. 
W HEN you buy a John Deere Grain Binder you have 
assurance of two important things. It is an exception¬ 
ally light draft binder for operation behind your horses, and it 
has ample strength for most severe operation behind your 
tractor.

In many other respects, also, the 
John Deere is a better built binder. 
Its main bearings are self-aligning. 
It has a stronger main frame; better 
built wheels; more rigid platform; 
greater capacity; a better constructed 
and a more dependable binder 
attachment. 
Its bundle carrier is easy to operate, 
and because of the adjustments pro¬ 
vided, the carrier can be kept in easy 
working order during the life of the 
machine. 
Its QuickTurnTongueTruck is dis¬ 
tinctive. The axle of the truck is 
flexibly mounted. The wheels hold 
to the ground, taking off side draft 
from the horses, and keeping the 
binder running straight. Square 
turning is another advantage of this 
truck. 
The John Deere Binder is regularly 
equipped with Quick Turn Tongue 
Truck for operation with horses. 
Special tractor hitches can be furn¬ 
ished. The change from horse to 
tractor operation is quickly made. 
You will get real satisfaction from 
the John Deere. You will find it an 
exceptionally profitable binder in¬ 
vestment. It will give you more 
years of dependable service, and 
the cost for upkeep will be lower.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Garget; vStunted Pigs 
1. I have a cow whose udder often 
cakes, and the milk conies stringy. 1 cau 
see no cause for it. Can you advise as 
to what it is and what I fan do for it? 
2. I also have a lot of pigs which I am 
feeding corn, bran and middlings for swill 
and have also fed them tankage, but they 
don’t seem to grow and do as they 
should. T. R. B. 
New York. 
1. Chill, bruise, over-feeding protein- 
rich rations, irregular or incomplete 
milking, indigestion etc., cause these in¬ 
termittent attacks of sub-aetute mammitis 
or garget and they usually become chronic 
and may end in loss of function of the 
udder. Milk three times daily. At times 
of attack milk every two or three hours, 
massaging the udder well each time, and 
at night rub in warm, melted lard. Also 
give, at such times, a tablespoonful each 
of powdered saltpeter and poke root in 
feed or water once daily until the milk 
again becomes normal. 2. Physic the 
pigs with epsom salts in slop, then let 
them have milk to drink twice daily, free 
access to clover or Alfalfa hay and also 
allow from self-feeders, wheat middlings, 
shelled corn and digester tankage, fed dry. 
As soon as possible allow them to graze 
a green crop. 
Worms in Pigs; Tuberculosis 
1. Will you give a remedy for intestinal 
worms in pigs, and how much of it to give 
for each 100 lhs. of weight? 2. If -a cow 
has tuberculosis does that make the meat 
unfit for human food? If so. what should 
be done with it. and will the owner have 
to stand the loss, or does the Government 
pay a certain sum for each cow that has 
to be slaughtered? j. k. 
New York. 
1. Withhold food and water for 24 
hours and theil give each pig. in one or 
two ounces of castor oil. according to age 
and size, a dose of oil of chenopodium 
(American wormseed) as follows: Half 
a teaspoonful for a pig weighing less than 
o0 lbs., one teaspoonful for a pig of .“>0 
to 100 lbs. and two teaspoonfuls for an 
adult hog. Repeat the dose in 10 days. 
2. The meat is unfit for use if the dis¬ 
ease is generalized throughout, the body. 
Where it is confined to few lymph glands 
and has not. permeated the body or caused 
an emaciation it may be passed as fit by 
the veterinary inspector. Ask the State 
veterinarian to send you a copy of tin- 
law relating to tuberculosis or the vete¬ 
rinarian of your district may be able t<> 
show you a copy giving information oil 
the questions you ask. 
Thriftless Filly 
I traded my neighbor for a mare six 
years old. lie bought this mare at four 
years old. The first year she worked 
nicely, second year began to fail and got 
so poor he was willing to trade. She 
eats heartily, was troubled with worms, 
but I fed oak ashes and then salt and 
sulphur. Don't see any worms now but 
her hide fils her so tight one cannot pinch 
it up. I am feeding new hay, cornstalks 
and corn, all she will eat. but don't see 
any improvement. There is no trouble 
only she is poor and weak. T don't think 
she has been hurt by work but has had 
little care, left, out nights and in poor 
cold stable. Gau you tell me the trouble? 
Indiana. E. L 
The teeth need attention from a vet¬ 
erinarian. then feed crushed oats, wheat 
bran, ear corn and mixed clover or Al¬ 
falfa hay. Carrots also would be bene¬ 
ficial. Night, and morning give half an 
ounce of Fowler’s solution of arsenic. If 
imnrovement is slow we should advise 
feeding a quart of blackstrap molasses 
night and morning diluted with hot water 
and then stirred among cut hay. corn- 
meal and wheat bran. If worms are 
found in tin- fames give the worm niedi- 
I cine often prescribed hero. 
Nasal Gleet 
Can you toll me what the trouble can 
he with one of our horses? For some 
time now he has been losing weight. A* 
lie was troubled with worms T gave him 
condition powders, hut still he is thin. 
Lately he has had a matter running 
from one of his nostrils constantly and 
it smells very offensive. We can often 
notice the disagreeable odor when driv¬ 
ing him. He has a wonderful appetite, 
eating more than the other horse which 
looks so nice and fat. Would you advise 
me what to do with him? n. if. 
New York. 
It would be wise immediately to take 
the horse to a qualified veterinarian foi 
examination as glanders is a possibility, 
and that disease would necessitate de¬ 
struction in accordance with State hi vs. 
The fact that it also is communicable 
and fatal to man makes it the more im¬ 
portant to have an expert examination 
made as soou as possible. It is moie 
probable, however, that a diseased molai 
tooth is causing the offensive discharge 
nr that pus is present in a sinus of the 
head. In these conditions trephining by 
the veterinarian for removal of the tootu 
or pus would be iu order.
