Eit pigs bring fat profits 
Stop wondering why your piers 
don’t pick up weight on grain feeds 
alone. Include Dold’s Digester Tank¬ 
age in their feed—a sure fat and bone 
builder—you’ll get them to market 
and bring ready cash quicker. 
When you feed pigs corn, they 
get less than 10% protein. Dold’s 
Digester Tankage gives them 60% 
Protein, Dold’s Digester Meat Meal 
Tankage 46% Protein, the right 
amounts to build bone and flesh. 
Mixed with grain feeds or fed sep¬ 
arately, either in hoppers or slop.

Smashing Packages 
(Continued from page 1209) 
There was similar difficulty when the 
Government managed the roads. It seems 
to go with the present-day lack of in¬ 
terest and responsibility that makes busi¬ 
ness costly and difficult. 
It is noticed that the department in 
New York is planning something to help 
make conditions better. We hope that 
this can be done, yet it will be at the 
expense of the shipper, while it should 
be a matter of couceru to the employees 
who do the careless work. Probably 
something can be doue that will cause a 
little atteution to the real trouble. If 
the public gets its eye on the right spot 
sentiment may help bring a correction. 
No doubt poor equipment may sometimes 
be at fault, but that does not excuse an 
employee for deliberately or carelessly 
smashing valuable articles. As stated 
earlier, we do not think every man who 
works for a transportation company is of 
the delinquent class, only there are 
enough of such to bring reproaeh upon 
the employees as a rule. The mail service 
in the way of sending parcels is in about 
as bad a way. so we can hardly claim 
that it is spite for turning the roads back. 
It ought to stop, anyway. ii. n. l. 
Rooster with Injured Feet 
I have a rooster which has lost the 
middle toenail on each foot; toes very 
much swollen and he holds foot up most 
of the time; appears in pain. I have 
applied iodine several times. Can you 
advise me what should be done? 
New York. MRS. p. f. m. 
The feet of fowls are frequently injured 
by cuts or bruises acquired in scratching 
or flying from heights to hard floors. If 
infection through an abrasion has taken 
place, there may be swelling and abscess 
formation, sometimes so deep-seated and 
serious as to make effective treatment im¬ 
practicable. If this rooster’s foot shows 
the presence of pus by a soft, fluctuating 
swelling, this swelling should be opened 
with a sharp, clean blade and the pus 
evacuat d. Afterward the bird should be 
kept, upon soft, clean grass or elsewhere 
where dirt will not be forced into the 
wound, and the latter may be dressed with 
enrbolized vaseline in five per cent 
strength. If nothing but inflammation is 
present, the same ointment mav be used 
as a dressing, and the bird should be kept 
in a clean place, as suggested above.

Drooping Wings 
.Some of my young chickens droop their 
wings and die without any apparent 
cause. I had some young March pullets 
which died mysteriously. I am feeding 
mash, scratch feed and whole oats. All 
chickens are free range stock. p. j. e. 
New York. 
There is nothing strange nor mysteri¬ 
ous about these drooping wings and deaths 
among young chicks, though no one could 
say which one among the numerous 
causes of such deaths is present in the 
case of your flock without detailed knowl¬ 
edge of all circumstances surrounding 
them. Drooping wings indicate failing 
strength, and this may be the result of 
certain diseases which, possibly might 
have been prevented by better or more 
intelligent care or of other disorders 
which could not have been foreseen and 
guarded, against. Perhaps the best ad¬ 
vice in your case is to remove the sick 
chickens, bury them deeply where their 
diseased bodies cannot be got at by other 
animals, clean the quarters and utensils 
used by the healthy members of the flock 
and feed and care for these in a way that 
will promote their health and vigor. 
There is nothing that can he given to a 
sick chicken that will justify your time 
and trouble, and. further, you don’t want 
sick chickens to live. Granting that con¬ 
ditions are reasonably healthful, a chicken 
that does not possess sufficient vigor to 
resist the ordinary ills of chickdom is a 
poor posessiou: it will never repay the 
expense of raising and feeding it. and. if 
it lives to transmit its enfeebled vitality 
to future members of the flock, it will 
prove a liability rather than asset to you.

Egg Substitutes 
What are the egg substitutes offered for 
sale to replace eggs? What is a good 
recipe for a substitute which will give egg 
color as well as satisfaction in general 
cooking? o. L. h. 
Wellesley Farms, Mass. 
Quite a number of mixtures are offered 
for this purpose; those we have actually 
examined have been mixtures of starches, 
with more or less egg albumen and casein. 
One of the best, which is rather more ex¬ 
pensive than the average to make is five 
parts by weight powdered gum tragacanth, 
10 parts best powdered egg albumen, 20 
parts powdered casein. 20 parts arrow- 
root. 20 parts rice. 25 parts cornstarch. 
Mix very thoroughly; it is best to mix 
the gums with the starches and then mix 
these mixtures. Color to the desired ef¬ 
fect with annatto, an entirely harmless 
color from the fruit of a tropical tree, 
which can be had in any dairy supply 
place, as it is the source of the “knee- 
deep-in-.Tune” effect in most butter. 
Egg substitutes have their uses, when 
sold and employed for what they are, 
since they are all food value and give a 
stiffening effect, as well as helping to re¬ 
tain the gas from baking powder. But 
just how much satisfaction this or any 
other will give depends on the cook.

Mechanically Correct 
MACHINE can give efficient, low- 
A ^ cost service and continue to do so 
year after year unless it is mechanically correct. 
Consider the following points of mechanical cor¬ 
rectness that distinguish International Ensilage 
Cutters: 
Heavy boiler plate flywheel that is safe 
at any speed but has the weight and 
momentum that require only low speed. 
Positive self feed. Corn chute and extra 
paddle rolls take the place of man at feed 
table on the three large sizes. Labor saver. 
Tool-steel cutter bar; reversible and may 
be reground. 
Curved inward shear knife insures light 
draft, cuts fodder into even lengths, and 
shells the least corn off the cob. 
Safety lever convenient and may be 
operated from both sides of machine. 
All parts for changing lengths of cuts 
are always on the machine. 
These are only a few of the points of mechanical 
correctness that are responsible for the operating 
excellence of International Ensilage Cutters. Made 
in 5 sizes; capacities, 3 to 25 tons an hour. Power 
required: I h. p. per ton per hour. Confer with your 
International full-line dealer .
