Lower Your Milk Production Cost 
Right now, more than ever before, 
you are forced to hold down the 
cost of milk production, or work 
without profit. 
Our booklets show you how to 
feed Unicom the right way—how 
to cut the cost by feeding less. 
A quality feed, Unicorn Dairy Radon, 
will help you do this. 
Quality in Unicorn means two 
things: 
1. Using only the best feeds 
obtainable. 
2. Putting them together 
the right way. 
Everywhere, the “high men” in cow 
testing associations, who make the 
largest net profit, are Unicorn feeders. 
Dairymen have cut their grain bills 
ten per cent and more by feeding 
Unicom. 
You cannot say that your production 
cost has touched bottom until you 
have fed Unicorn.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Abnormal Quarter 
A cow I purchased about March 1, 
five years old. grade Guernsey, freshened 
April T>. One front quarter of udder is 
enlarged; feels as if it was full of air, 
but is not hard and does not act like 
“cake.” The milk from that teat seems 
to be all right, but she does not give 
nearly as much from it as from the others, 
and it is hard to get. The calf is on her 
now. Do you think this condition will 
improve? J. H. B. 
Tt is probable that an attack of garget 
caused the condition described, and it 
may have been due to the presence of i 
growth which interferes with the milk 
flow. In such cases the use of a milking 
tube often causes infection and conse¬ 
quent garget. If au obstruction is pres¬ 
ent a veterinary may be able to help mat¬ 
ters by cutting through it in four differ¬ 
ent directions by means of a teat bistoury, 
or it may have to be removed with a dif¬ 
ferent instrument. 
Dysentery 
I have a registered Guernsey calf about 
a year old that has the scours. A veter¬ 
inarian looked at her and I am now giv¬ 
ing her medicine. She is very thin 
When I cure her of this trouble, what 
will be a good feed for her? I am now 
feeding cornineal. wheat bran, cottonseed 
meal and Alfalfa and Rluegrass pasture. 
T have heard that cottonseed meal poisons 
the system when on grass. Is it true? 
I want a feed that will make my calf 
grow and develop as fast as possible, as 
I belong to a boys’ club, and am afraid 
that this trouble will check her growth.. 
Virginia. T. C. H. 
Keep the calf off’ grass and feed it on 
hay. boiled milk and oats. If it is not 
afflicted with .Tohne’s disease (chronic 
bacterial dysentery, which is incurable) 
it may recover if treated with triple sul- 
pho-carbolate tablets, under direction of 
the veterinarian. At least AO grains 
should be given every four hours. If 
not effectual, the veterinarian should try 
such remedies as oil of eucalyptus, lauda¬ 
num and tincture of capsicum. 
Warts on Teats 
I have a cow whose teats are covered 
with warts. Is there any remedy? 
New York. w. j. o. 
Twice daily thoroughly saturate the 
warts with water containing all the bi¬ 
carbonate of soda it will dissolve. Warts 
that have slim necks may be snipped off 
with scissors, a few at a time; then apply 
a little pine tar the following day, if 
not on the teats, or balsam of Peru if m 
that location. 
Cough 
I recently bought a heavy team of 
horses; they have good wind, but one of 
them. I noticed, is coughing very often. 
Is that heaves? We feed them very tittle 
hay, and tin hay is clover. M. M. K. 
Heaves is present in this case if you 
notice a double, bellows-like movement of 
1 the flanks when the horse is expiring air, 
and if gas is expelled from the rectum 
when the horse coughs. If heaves is pres¬ 
ent it would be best to let the horse live 
on grass this Summer and in Winter feed 
wet oat straw or oat sheaves and bright 
corn stover instead of hay. Also give a 
tablespoonful of Fowler’s solution of 
arsenic night and morning until distress 
is relieved, when the medicine gradually 
should be discontinued, taking at least 
10 days to the process. If heaves is not 
present have a veterinarian put the teeth 
in order aud give equine cough syrup of 
glyco-heroiu two or three times daily. 
Worms 
Would you give me a remedy for pia 
worms in horses? 1 have two horses 
that are affected, we think, and 1 cannot 
gel any fat on them. I was tohl to give 
a tablespoon of turpentine once a week 
What do you think of it? w. M. B. 
Pin worms chiefly inhabit the rectum 
| and may cause irritation indicated by tail- 
! rubbing, but little other appreciable in- 
i jury. It is probable that round worms 
(ascarithe) are causing the thin con¬ 
dition. llavc the teeth put iu good or- 
j tier by a veterinarian. Thou mix in 
I dampened feed night and morning for a 
week one tablespoonful of a mixture of 
two parts of table salt aud one part each 
of dried sulphate of iron and flowers of 
sulphur, by weight. Then stop for 10 
days and then repent the treatment 
Omit iron for a mare in foal and increase 
sulphur. Colts take less doses. 
Crumpled Horns 
I have a three-year-old steer wioh 
crumpled horns. What can be done to 
straighten them? m. M. 
If the steer is not used for work, it 
should he dishorned at once; sent to mar¬ 
ket if iu good condition. If, used for 
work and dishorning wot ] injure the 
animal for that purpose, we should advise 
removing the tips of the horns if they 
endanger the eyes. Straightening or 
horns is accomplished by, softening tut* 
horns with poultice aud using weights or 
turnbuckles on wire attached to tin¬ 
horns. Rasping the moist surface ot tat? 
curved parts also will he necessary. .
