Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Injured Hock 
A cow’s hind leg got. hurt in some way 
about the middle of May, I believe by 
stepping off and down into a stream. It 
must have been three or four weeks be¬ 
fore I noticed her leg being swollen. I 
have rubbed the joint about twice a week 
with liniment, without getting better or 
worse, until now for about three days or 
so the swelling has increased and begins 
to extend upward on either side, and also 
seems to get extremely sore. The swell¬ 
ing does not extend much directly behind, 
but more on both sides of joint. She is 
to freshen in October, first calf. If there 
is a way to cure that leg. I would go to 
considerable trouble, but if it cannot be 
cured, the quicker I kill her the better. 
She does not go lame yet. and never did. 
In the beginning the spelling felt rather 
soft, but feels more like putty, yet it 
appears to be bone or joint that is en¬ 
larged. F. B. 
Michigan. 
As the swelling does not cause lame¬ 
ness. the cow certainly should not be 
killed. We suspect that the skin simply 
has become intensely irritated by the 
liniment, and. therefore, we should advise 
you to wash part clean and then simply 
rub in a little lanolin or vaseline once 
daily until the skin recovers. At that 
time, should the cow be lame in the af¬ 
fected leg. write again, describing the 
condition present, and we shall be glad 
to give additional advice, as indicated. 
Ringworm 
Can you tell me anything that will cure 
barn itch on calves? Calves are outside 
(not kept in barn) and seem to have it 
mostly on head. The barn seems to be 
infected with the disease, as none of my 
stock had it before I came here. Is there 
any way to get it out' of the barn? 
New York. a. l. 
Ringworm, or barn itch, is caused by a 
vegetable parasite known as Tricophyton 
tonsurans, which lives upon damp walls 
and woodwork, as well as the skin of 
animals or persons. To get rid of the 
parasite in the stable, clean floors, walls, 
fixtures and ceiling, then wash with a 
solution of four ounces of sulphate of 
copper (bluestone) to the gallon of hot 
water, unless unsightly staining will re¬ 
sult. In the latter event substitute a 
mixture of one part of compound creosol 
solution to 30 parts of water, or five 
ounces of formaldehyde to the gallon. 
Then apply fresh-made whitewash by 
means of a spray pump and special noz¬ 
zle, or a flat brush. It also will be neces¬ 
sary to treat similarly all rubbing places 
and properly to light and ventilate the 
stable. The disease most commonly is 
contracted in dark, damp and dirty base¬ 
ment. stables. It usually leaves cattle 
when on grass. Treat by scrubbing af¬ 
fected spots on face free from crusts and 
scabs, if necessary, first saturating them 
with sweet oil; then paint with tincture 
of iodin twice daily. .Spots upon the body 
are well treated by wetting once a week 
with a solution of four ounces of pow¬ 
dered bluestone to the pint of hot water.

HOLSTEINS 
Long-lived Purebred Hol¬ 
stein Cows 
Leave out of consideration the greater 
direct cash return and Holsteins are still 
the best investment you can make. Great 
strength and constitutional vigor make 
the typical Holstein long-lived, free from 
disease and sure to produce many healthy 
calves. A thirteen-year-old Holstein 
owned by the Kansas Agricultural Col¬ 
lege finished a year’s record of 15.773 
pounds of milk and 513 pounds of butter- 
fat. This record indicates the dollars and 
cents value of Holstein vitality.
