Your Fall Program 
W HAT arrangements have you 
made to take care of the big fall 
jobs that are now in line for 
preferred attention? There’s the mat¬ 
ter of threshing, or possibly corn husk¬ 
ing and shredding, and shelling; prob¬ 
ably you have a silo to fill; or it may be 
that you have a big tonnage of hay or 
straw to bale. And always, of course, 
there is the important job of getting 
your fall plowing done before the ground 
freezes, not to mention disking and per¬ 
haps seeding a winter grain crop. 
Individual effort in the majority of 
cases is insufficient to handle properly 
these jobs and the general farm labor 
shortage has made custom service un¬ 
certain in many localities; you cannot 
place your definite dependence in the 
outfit that you may engage to handle 
some certain operation. 
Foresighted farmers everywhere are 
preparing to handle their fall programs 
on time and economically by investing 
in individual outfits with dependable, 
low-cost Titan 10-20 or International 
15-30 Kerosene Power on the business 
end. There are, no doubt, a number 
of these tractors in active operation in 
your neighborhood. Investigate the 
service they are giving their owners — 
and the after-sale service rendered by 
the International local dealer and the 
not-distant International Harvester 
Branch House, which is one of 92 in 
the United States. 
Talk with your International dealer

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Catarrh 
I own a five-year-old Pereheron mare 
which has had a bad cough for three 
months. When she coughs badly she has 
a discharge from the nose. She is in good 
order. She does not lose flesh. What 
ails her, and what can I do for her? I 
had a veterinarian examine her. lie said 
she has bronchial trouble, and that her 
lungs and wind are all right. He gave 
me a treatment for her, but it did not 
do her any good. D. R. c. 
North Carolina. 
The important matter in all such cases 
is first to make sure that glanders is 
not the cause of the cough and discharge. 
It sometimes is, and the disease not only 
is contagious and incurable among horses, 
and mules, but communicable and fatal 
to man ; 'hence the need of the greatest 
possible care in handling a horse that 
has a chronic discharge from the nose. 
There are several other causes, including 
a split or diseased molar tooth in the 
upper jaw, collection of pus in sinus of 
the head, heaves and disease of the throat, 
bronchi or lungs. Without an examina¬ 
tion we cannot determine the cause or 
confidently prescribe treatment. That 
should be done by the attending veteri¬ 
narian, but we might suggest that glyco- 
heroin and equine cough syrup have given 
good results in chronic cases of cough 
due to irritation or inflammation of the 
mucous membranes of the throat, bronchi 
or lungs. Wet all feed and keep the 
stable clean and free from dxist and irri¬ 
tating gases. 
Weak Mule 
I have a mule that is very thin in flesh; 
old hair is not all shed. She will work 
well for about an hour, then sweat badly 
and seem weak. After resting a short 
time she will be very cold. She eats well 
and teeth are all right. She is out in 
good pasture, and only works a few hours 
a day, and that not every day. Some days 
there is a little discharge from her nose, 
as though she had a little cold, but she 
does not cough. Her mate is in good 
rig on same feed. What may be done 
for her? D. s. 
Connecticut. 
In cases of this sort the first step al¬ 
ways should he to make sure that glanders 
is not present, for that terrible and in¬ 
sidious disease not only is contagious and 
incurable and fatal among mules and 
horses, but is communicable and fatal to 
man. When a veterinarian cannot deter¬ 
mine the disease otherwise, or is in doubt, 
he should apply the mallein test. It is 
similar to the tuberculin test for tuber¬ 
culosis of cattle, and reliable in its re¬ 
sults. If the mule proves to be free from 
glanders, clip off the coat and then feed 
on crushed oats, wheat bran and best of 
hay. Keep the mule indoors during hot 
weather, but turn her on grass at night. 
If the trouble persists, mix in the feed 
twice daily a tablespoonful of a mixture 
of equal quantities of powdered saltpeter, 
mix vomica, gentian root, fenugreek and 
dried splphate of iron. Give this for two 
weeks and then stop for two weeks. The 
treatment may then he repeated, if found 
necessary. 
Stocked Legs 
I have a young mare, recently brought 
from the West, that shortly after suffered 
distemper. A veterinarian treated her, 
and among other things gave her a heavy 
dose of physic. Since recovering from 
the distemper she at times appears to be 
colicky, and her hind legs stock above the 
fetlocks. Will you prescribe the proper 
care and treatment for the mare? J. w. 
It is unusual to give a horse that is suf; 
fering with distemper a heavy dose of 
physic. That is not indicated when fever 
runs high. At the present stage the 
horse is weak and should have the fol¬ 
lowing medicine as a tonic: Mix to¬ 
gether equal quantiti.es by weight, of 
powdered saltpeter, dried sulphate of iron, 
mix vomica, gentian root and fenugreek, 
and of the mixture give one tablespoonful 
twice daily in a dampened feed for two 
weeks. Then stop the treatment for two 
weeks, when it should be repeated if seen 
to be necessary. Allow the horse a box 
stall when in the stable, but have him 
work lightly or take abundant exercise 
every day. Kach time he comes in rub 
his legs dry and then bandage them front 
feet to knees and hocks with derby or 
flannel bandages. 
Lumps on Hare 
I have a few Belgian hares which I 
am trying to raise, and have had good 
success so far with all except one, winch 
seems to be perfectly healthy, but for a 
bunch on her neck. No one seems to 
know what it is. A> N-

f the lump, and told us how it, tee is
