. The Greatest Invention 
In Cream Separator History 
Today all authorities agree, and Babcock Tests prove, that 
the development by our experts of the patented Curved 
Disc, used only in Iowa Cream Separators, is the greatest 
invention in cream separator history. 
The discs, or skimming 
device, are the heart of a 
cream separator. The 
Iowa Curved-Disc Prin¬

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Garget 
A cow in some way got one of her teats 
out on one side, which healed quickly; it 
did not swell very much or cause any 
particular trouble at the time, but cow 
has been giving slimy milk from the two 
hind teats ever since. There is very lit¬ 
tle blood with it, just enough to give a 
pinkish color to the slime on strainer. 
Can you tell me what the trouble might 
be. aud any cure for it? Would you ad¬ 
vise drying her up? She is due to freshen 
in December or first part of January. 
Pennsylvania. i.. a. 
Bruising or infection has caused this 
attack of garget or mammitis. I) 0 not 
dry off the milk secretion at present. 
Milk every three or four hours, massag¬ 
ing the udder well each time, and twice 
daily rub in a mixture of one dram each 
of pure turpentine and fluid extracts of 
poke root and belladonna leaves and eight 
parts of melted lard or sweet oil, used 
warm. Night and morning for five con¬ 
secutive days a week, for two weeks, if 
needed that long, give her one tablespoon¬ 
ful each of powdered saltpeter and poke 
root in soft feed or water. If the con¬ 
dition does not improve after a thorough 
trial of this treatment, then it would he 
wise to dry off the secretion, but such a 
cow then is rarely worth retaining for 
dairy purposes. 
Death of Cattle 
T brought a yearling hull to my place 
late in June. He was in poor condition, 
but seemed all right in other ways. I 
found lice on him. and applied a mixture 
of kerosene, six tablespoonfuls; sulphur, 
two tablespoonfuls; oil, one pint. The 
oil was lubricating oil. The bull seemed 
to grow weaker and suffer after the ap¬ 
plication. I called the veterinarian, who 
said there was no disease. I aoolied the 
same mixture to a calf, and the calf be¬ 
gan to act the same as yearling, and soon 
died. The bull continued to grow weak 
and was killed. w. e. m. 
A post-mortem examination should have 
been made by a qualified veterinarian to 
determine the cause of death. It is like¬ 
ly, however, that the disease was hemor¬ 
rhagic septicemia, which may be vacci¬ 
nated against and sometimes responds to 
immediate treatment with a bacteria. The 
lotion used to kill lice was far too strong, 
and if the turpentine was impure (tur¬ 
pentine substitute) it would be likely to 
do considerable harm, but scarcely would 
kill unless licked off by the animals. 
Preventive Nostrums 
Would you consider 8 lbs. Glauber 
salts, 3 lbs. sal soda, 3 lbs. copperas, 1 lb. 
salt and 1 lb. surpluir, mixed together, to 
be a good preventive of disease in bogs 
and suitable to be fed in slop? N. T. S. 
Such concoctions are dangerous, un¬ 
necessary and will not prevent disease of 
hogs or other animals. We cannot 
recommend their use. Plenty of sound 
feed, judiciously given, and scrupulous 
cleanliness and sanitation in the sur¬ 
roundings (environment) of the 'hogs 
will do much more to prevent simple dis¬ 
ease than any combination of drugs; but 
if contagious disease is prevalent in the 
district, it will be wise to have a trained 
veterinarian vaccinate to prevent attacks. 
Dysentery 
We are having a serious outbreak of 
diarrhoea or scours among our dairy cows. 
Can you advise remedies, or suggest 
cause? L. L. B. 
You should have furnished a detailed 
description of the symptoms shown by 
the cows and told us what you feed. 
Irritants in the feed are the probable cause 
of the trouble. Avoid any feed that is 
damaged in any way. Four times a day 
give 20 drops of pure beechwood creosote 
and half an ounce of cajeput in three 
ounces of cottonseed oil. Decrease the 
dose as soon as improvement starts and 
also lessen the number of doses daily. 
Isolate affected cows. Cleanse and dis¬ 
infect and whitewash the stable. 
Scours 
I have a bull calf now going on seven 
weeks of age, which has scoured since 
birth. I took him away from his mother, 
and have fed ever since, using several 
home remedies, such as browned flour, 
hay tea, etc.; am now using lime water 
in his milk. You said in a recent issue 
of The II. N.-Y. that there was no cure, 
so I have been wondering just what one 
could do. Since ho has been eating grass 
and hay his feces have darkened in color 
and are somewhat thicker, hut are not 
right yet. and he is not growing as lie 
should. I have put him in a box stall, 
and thought I would feed him clover hay, 
bran and milk twice a day, as the green 
grass might have a tendency to loosen him. 
Ohio. w. m. 
It was the infectious form of dysen¬ 
tery affecting a new-born calf that we 
spoke of as being incurable, but pre¬ 
ventable by vaccination, etc. The calf 
in question possibly may recover if you 
give it a dose of castor oil in milk and 
then three times daily a teaspoonful of a 
mixture of one part of salol and two parts 
of subnitrate of bismuth. Increase the 
dose gradually if found necessary. Give 
the medicine in boiled milk. Do not feed 
bran, hut allow oats aud liay, in addition 
to milk.
