The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Roofings of Known Quality 
T HE long established and widely known quality of Barrett Everlastic 
Roofings eliminates risk and uncertainty from roofing purchases. 
These roofings are made by the company that has been the leading 
manufacturer of roofing materials for over fifty years. They are giving 
perfect satisfaction! on thousands of farm buildings, country and city homes 
and factories all over America. 
You can use them on any and every steep-roofed building about the 
place. They are made in four styles—two forms of Shingles and two 
of Roll Roofings. 
Both styles of Everlastic Shingles are surfaced with real crushed slate 
in beautiful, rich art-tones of red or green. You can’t buy more artistic 
roofs at any price. They are low in price, easy to lay, highly fire 
resistant and wonderfully durable. 
One style of roll roofing is also slate surfaced in red or green. The 
other—Everlastic “Rubber” Roofing—is plain surfaced and gives unfailing 
satisfaction wherever this type of roofing is needed. 
Illustrated booklet of each style free on request.

;j AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Blindness 
My colt is blind in right eye. ITo had 
pink-eye when he was six months old, and 
was blind in both eyes; but one got a,l 
right again. The right eye has a blue 
skin over it. Is there any cure for it? I 
have used powdered alum on horses, but 
have never tried it on this one. 11 . ir. 
Nebraska. 
In such cases the cloudy appearance of 
the eye is due to turgidity of the liquid 
in the anterior or posterior chamber of 
the eye. or even to the presence of pus in 
that liquid. Where an irregular-edged 
white spot is seen in the center of the eye 
it is cataract from opacity of the crystal¬ 
line lens, and all such conditions prac¬ 
tically are incurable. Periodic opthal- 
mia (moon blindness) is the common 
cause of such condition. If you care to 
give treatment, you might wet the eyeball 
daily with a few drops of a solution of 
one grain of nitrate of silver in an ounce 
of distilled water, to he kept in a blue 
glass bottle. Also slightly darken the 
stable. 
Worms of Cat 
We have an old cat, 13 years of age, 
that is a great pet‘and that we are anxi¬ 
ous to keep as long as possible. He seems 
to have indigestion all the time, no matter 
how carefully he is fed, and recently he 
threw up what looked like long thread-like 
worms. lie has catnip all the time, and 
we have also tried to administer castor 
oil. but without much success, f. m. ii. 
New York. 
Lot the cat live an outdoor life, and if 
he does not cateli his own living give him 
a small meal of raw meat once daily. Do 
not feed a eat new warm milk. Prefer 
milk that is 12 hours old and skim it be¬ 
fore feeding, but raw meat is the better 
feed for cats. To destroy worms give one 
to three grains of santonin after starving 
the cat for 24 hours. Give it in a gelatine 
capsule inserted in a hit of raw meat. It 
should he followed in half an hour by a 
dose of castor oil which, for a large cat. 
should have an addition of 5 drops of pure 
turpentine. 
Weak Back 
Will you advise me what to do for pigs 
that are stiff across the kidneys? They 
are perfectly healthy and in good flesh, 
about 10 weeks old. but they seem to he 
weak and reel as they walk in their hind 
parts*. F. c. ir. 
Delaware. 
Such pigs usually are afflicted with 
rickets, akin to bowed legs of children 
and an indication of malnutrition. The 
tendency 'to the disease is hereditary. 
Worms may he a contributory cause. In 
some cases the cause is constipation from 
overfeeding and lack of exercise. Exces¬ 
sive feeding of coni to young growing 
pigs may induce rickets, as *that food is 
.deficient in bone-building ingredients. 
Move the pigs into colony houses on clover. 
Alfalfa or other green crop and allow 
milk twice daily. Also feed well on such 
meals as ground barley or rye, middlings, 
bran, oilmeal and tankage. Corn may 
be added as the pigs improve. Also allow 
free access fo slaked liine. wood or corn¬ 
cob charcoal and wood ashes. Keep the 
bowels active. 
Constipation 
I have n horse 20 years old. Last .Tune 
he was sick with constipation ; I had a 
veterinarian attend him every day for a 
week. TTe got well for a few weeks; 
since then he gets sick every week. Tie 
has no worms. I have tried everything 
possible, hut he gets constipated every 
week just the game. I feed him different 
kinds of feed, but the more I feed him 
the thinner he gets. a. s. 
New. York. 
Have his teeth put in order by the 
veterinarian, then feed equal quantities 
of wheat bran and crushed oats, allowing 
a little over one pound of the mixture 
for each hundred pounds of body weight 
as a day’s ration. Dampen it at feeding 
time. Also feed good mixed hay. If the 
bowels still remain costive allow three or 
four carrots daily. If such feeding does 
not suffice have the veterinarian show 
you how to give the horse a course of 
mix vomica until doing well. If there is 
no chronic disease of the liver ho may 
recover in time, but we suspect that there 
may he enlargement of the liver. 
Lame Collie 
Ts there any help for my Scotch collie, 
10 years old? I first noticed her go lame, 
could not. locate the trouble for a long 
time, and thought it in her hip. Then 
T discovered a growing bunch or enlarg¬ 
ing knee joint on the inside of the right 
hind leg. It is now very much enlarged; 
dog cannot use leg at all. She has a good 
appetite. r. 
You do not state whether the enlarge¬ 
ment is soft or hard. If it is hard it is no 
doubt an exostosis or bony growth, simi¬ 
lar to a bone spavin in a horse’s bock 
joint. Tf it is soft it no doubt is a 
synovial distension of the capsular liga¬ 
ment of the joint. A personal examina¬ 
tion will, however, ho necessary to deter¬ 
mine what is wrong that appropriate 
treatment may he given. You should take 
the collie to a specialist in canine dis¬ 
eases for the necessary examination. 
can. Add four tablespoonfuls 
of Dr. Hess Dip and Disinfect¬ 
ant to each gallon of water. 
Sprinkle the animal body to kill 
the lice, the sleeping quarters 
and feeding grounds to destroy 
the disease germs. Or provide 
a wallow, to which add about 
one gallon D and D to every 70 
g allons of water. Disinfect the 
arns, the poultry house. 
Also use it about the home, in the 
sick room, sink and cesspools, to es¬ 
tablish better health conditions.
