The Roderick Lean Disc Harrow 
The Roderick Lean Automatic Disc Har¬ 
row, built purposely to work with the 
Fordson, is now considered a most neces¬ 
sary implement by thousands of Amer¬ 
ican farmers. 
Discing with the Fordson and a Roderick 
Lean Automatic Disc Harrow, just after 
the harvest, enables the plow to turn all 
trash well under where it will improve 
the soil. It also prevents the loss of 
moisture by evaporation and makes the 
land fit for plowing at any time. 
Then after plowing the Roderick Lean 
Automatic Disc Harrow will make pos¬ 
sible the sort of seedbed that means a 
better crop. The Roderick Lean Auto¬ 
matic Disc Harrow was built to work 
with the Fordson to the end of growing 
better crops. 
It provides fast, thorough and deep seed¬ 
bed preparation. That is why you will 
want one with your Fordson. Then, too, 
there areRoderickLeanspike tooth, spring 
tooth and orchard harrows, specially 
built to work with the Fordson. 
Oliver Plows and Amsco Tractor Drills, 
built purposely for use with the Fordson, 
are also a part of good Fordson farming. 
Like the Roderick Lean Automatic Disc 
Harrow, they are controlled by the oper¬ 
ator from the tractor seat. See the Ford¬ 
son Dealer in your town.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Worms of Sheep 
I am having trouble with my sheep 
dying with worms. A post-mortem shows 
small intestines filled up with a kind of 
flat worm from 4 to G ft. long, and about 
Ys in. wide. The stomach was full 
little worms that look like wireworms. 
I have drenched them throe times with 
two tablespoonfuls of raw linseed oil and 
one of gasoline and about a gill of sep¬ 
arated milk. I penned them up about 12 
hours before drenching, and kept them 
up about that long after. Do you think 
this a mixture that will do the work, or 
have you a better one? I have been told 
that when gasoline and linseed oil is 
given together the gasoline kills the action 
of the linseed oil. Is this true? Do you 
know of a worm powder that could be 
given sheep in bran through the Summer 
that would keep them free from worms? 
Losing a part of the flock each year takes 
more than all the profit out of them, and 
if there is no preventive from loss of 
this kind. I shall quit trying to raise them. 
West Vii-ginia. A. v. d. 
A one per cent solution of sulphate of 
copper (Milestone) now is preferred to 
the oil-gasoline-milk mixture for destroy¬ 
ing worms of sheep. It is especially 
recommended for stomach worms. The 
dose fsr an adult sheep is 3y 2 ounces 
after withholding feed for 24 hours. The 
dose should he repeated in 10 days. 
Lambs take from % ounce and up, ac¬ 
cording to age and size. To rid sheep 
of tapeworms starve them for 24 hours 
and then give them from 45 grains to 1 y 2 
drams of freshly powdered kamala in 
milk, and repeat the dose in four hours. 
A mixture of one part of powdered to¬ 
bacco and two parts of salt is useful as 
a lick to keep sheep free from worms, but 
new grass each season for lambs is more 
important as a preventive treatment. 
Medicine will not keep lambs free from 
worms on old. bare-bitten. permanent pas¬ 
ture, especially on wet land. 
Pin Worms 
I have a team of horses that are full of 
worms. Every time the bowels move 
they pass one or two- little white worms 
that are three or four inches in length. 
Some time ago one of them passed a larger 
one, about a foot in length. What would 
you advise me to do to get rid of these? 
New York. G. J. M. 
The small worms inhabit the rectum, 
and may be destroyed by injecting on 
three alternate evenings three or four 
quarts of soapy, warm water containing 
a cupful of a decoction of four ounces of 
strong tobacco, boiled for 30 minutes, or 
inject a similar tea of four ounces of 
quassia pov r der or chips to the gallon 
of w r ater. Repeat the treatment when 
seen to be necessary. To kill the long, 
round worms (ascaridse) mix in damp¬ 
ened feed night and morning for a week 
one tablespoonful of a mixture of two 
parts of table salt and one part each, by 
weight, of dried sulphate of iron and 
flow'ers of sulphur; then stop for 10 days 
and then give the powder for another 
week. 
Fleas on Dog 
How destroy fleas on a dog? I have 
tried creolin and a flea soap, and the fleas 
thrive on it. Could you suggest any¬ 
thing that would destroy the fleas? I 
wondered whether dips for cattle lice 
would help. y. H. T. 
New Hampshire. 
Tubbing a dog in a solution of coal tar 
dip made according to directions given 
by the manufacturer usually destroys 
fleas effectually. An addition of flowers 
of sulphur makes this assurance doubly 
sure. A puppy is well treated by work¬ 
ing pyrethrum powder freely into the 
dampened hair and then combing and 
brushing thoroughly to get rid of the 
stupefied fleas. The dog should stand on 
a large sheet of paper during the treat¬ 
ment. and the. paper should be wrapped 
together and burned as soon as the fleas 
fall upon it. Afterward dust a little flow¬ 
ers of sulphur into the coat. Repeat the 
treatment as often as found necessary, 
and keep the bed clean. 
Cough 
I have a Guernsey heifer two years 
old. registered, that has a cough. She 
will stick her tongue out and cough as 
(hough she has something in her throat. 
I also have a calf four months old, reg¬ 
istered, that has the same cough ; it does 
not seem well. It stands with its ears 
lopped down. It sucks a cow. 
Pennsylvania. a. w. w. 
Tuberculosis is to be suspected as the 
cause of the cough affecting the heifer, 
and would’ be a possible one as regai’ds 
the calf. It would, therefore, be well to 
have the tuberculin test applied by a 
qualified veterinarian. The intradermal 
or ophthalmic method of testing is prefer-: 
able in hot weather. It is quite likely, 
however, that lung worms are the cause, 
especially in the calf. The veterinarian 
can determine that by microscopic exami¬ 
nation of the discharge from nose or 
mouth. If worms are found to be the 
cause; he will give tracheal injections or 
show you how to fumigate with sulphur 
or iodine; but there is no perfectly sat¬ 
isfactory treatment for lung worms. Gen¬ 
erous feeding is absolutely necessary.
