How $140000000 
Can be Added to Dany 
farmers' Profits this Winter 
Four billion pounds more milk—$140,000,000 added profits 
—may be had this winter by farmers in the principal dairy 
states, simply by watering cows properly. 
A sensational statement! Yet it is but simple fact proven by cow 
testing and other milk records in many herds. 
Water—the simplest means of increasing milk yield, that element 
which is almost as free as air, yet as important as high priced feed—is 
usually disregarded by dairymen. 
Those dairy farmers who realize how greatly milk flow is increased 
by James drinking cups are reaping huge profits on their investments. 
An investigation made among users of 
James Cups show an average increase 
per cow, per day, of 2.45 lbs., proven by 
the milk records of 28 herds (739 cows). 
2.45 lbs. per day is about 490 lbs. for 
the season, which at $3.50 percwt. totals 
more than $17.00. 
$17.00 clear profit additional, per cow, secured 
merely by giving the cow all the water she wants 
when she wants it. 
In this investigation, one herd reported an in¬ 
crease of 5 to 10 lbs. per cow; three reported 4 
lbs. average increases; three say 3 lbs.; six 2 lbs., 
three l 1 /^ one lbs.; one $8.56 during the 
winter; one $5; one $10; one reports 3$ increase; 
one 8 $; two 10$; one 12 V 2 $; one 20$; and one 
says 33*$j $ increase. 
These reports front 28 herds are confirmed by 
many other reports and investigations, the de¬ 
tails of which are set forth in the James Educa 
tional Department Bulletin No. 4. 
If you want to increase the milk yield 
of your cows, if you want to save labor, 
if you want to do away with the trouble¬ 
some old tank heater, if you want your 
calves to grow faster and your cows to 
keep healthier—you will want James 
Drinking Cups.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Lymphangitis 
Will you toll just how to feed or what 
to use on a mare that gets lymphangitis, 
to avoid re-attack. Is a permanent cure 
possible? I have a mare 10 years old 
that is otherwise valuable, and gives me 
no trouble when on pasture in Summer, 
but I fear will get worse when fed ami 
idle in stable during the Winter. 
Delaware. j. b. h. 
To prevent attacks of lymphangitis 
(milk leg, or Monday morning disease) 
when the mare is stabled, allow her a 
roomy box stall, but have her work every 
day or take abundant outdoor exercise 
every day. When there is no work for 
her to do altogether withhold grain and 
lei her live on hay. oat straw, bright corn 
stover, bran and roots. If roots do not 
sufficiently loosen the bowels, dissolve 
two ounces of Glauber salt in hot water 
and add to her drinking water now and 
then in the morning, and increase the 
dose as seems to be necessary. Should 
the hind legs tend to “stock.” hand-rub 
them each time she comes in and then 
bandage with llannel from feet to hocks. 
A dram of powdered saltpeter may at 
such times he given twice daily in water 
for two or three days. 
Lame Cow 
My cow calved seven weeks ago, and 
got milk fever. She hurt her leg when 
she went down, and it was four days 
before the doctor got her un again. Since 
then she lost, half her hoof, and her leg 
is swollen and sore, and it is hard for 
her to get around. She doesn’t seem to 
be over the fever yet. as she grits her 
teeth and is very thin. She seems better 
when she gets no grain. Will the hoof 
grow out again, or will the animal be use¬ 
less? E. K. 
Massachusetts. 
If the cow has been tested with tuber¬ 
culin and proved to he free from tubercu¬ 
losis. she may bo worth treating, but her 
thin condition is suggestive of tuberculo¬ 
sis, so she should be tested if that has 
not been done. Meanwhile cleanse the 
foot, cut away all loose or rotten horn 
and cover with oakum or cotton batting 
saturated with a five per cent solution of 
coal-tar disinfectant. As soon as the 
wound is doing well, simp!'- apply pine 
tar twice a week and cover with oakum 
held in place by a narrow bandage criss¬ 
crossed between the toes and tied around 
the pastern. Have the veterinarian see 
the cow again, and consider the advisa¬ 
bility of giving her a full dose of physic. 
Tt may he, however, that she will do bet¬ 
ter if given tonics and stimulants instead 
of a purgative. 
Lump Jaw 
I have a throe-year-old heifer which 
freshened March 25. About six weeks 
after this'time a gathering formed which 
is very hard, on the under jaw. which I 
believe to he lump jaw. It has discharged 
more or less ever .since. She does not 
fail in flesh or in quantity of milk. Is 
there any cure for this, also is it con¬ 
tagious to rest of stock, and should the 
milk be used? F. M. 
Lump jaw (actinomycosis) is not 
directly contagious among animals, nor is 
it hereditary. The milk or meat may be 
used so long as the animal otherwise is 
healthy, without fever, eating well and 
in good flesh. Milk contaminated with 
pus from an actinomycotic abscess is. 
of course, unfit for any purpose. If 
possible have a veterinarian cut out 
or slough out the tumor and give in¬ 
fernal treatment with iodide of potash. 
If you cannot have this done apply a 
commercial lump jaw cure, or cut deeply 
into the mass and insert, a pledget of 
cotton saturated with a 10 per cent solu¬ 
tion of trioxide of chromium, or rolled 
when wet in corrosive sublimate or ar¬ 
senic. I’ack oakum or cotton on top to 
keep the medicated plug in place. It will 
cause sloughing after a time, and that 
may be followed by healing. 
Paralysis 
We have two pigs about five months old. 
They seem healthy and eat well, but have 
lost the use of their legs, especially tie 
hind ones. They came from healthy 
stock. Is there any cure for this trouble, 
or should I kill them? C. d. 
If the pigs are not able to walk after 
having hoen purged with epsom salts, or 
castor oil, and then fed light laxative 
slop, you might as well kill them for 
meat, or do that now if they are in good 
flesh. There is no certain remedy in such 
conditions, but the trouble may be pre¬ 
vented by proper feeding and manage¬ 
ment. Confinement, overfeeding and un¬ 
balanced rations induce the condition and 
constipation caused by such mismanage¬ 
ment is an aggravating cause. Rickets 
commonly is present. Pigs will not be 
so affected if from robust, muscular, 
healthy, non-akiu parents, and when 
raised on milk, mixed meals, including 
wheat, middlings or ground barley, bran, 
oiliueal and tankage, and made to take 
active exercise every day. At all times 
allow free access to clover or Alfalfa 
hay and slaked lime, wood ashes and wood 
or corncob charcoal are beneficial. Ex¬ 
ercise is imperative, and constipation 
carefully should be prevented.
