Clipping a Jersey from Natoma Farm, near Hinsdale. Ill. 
Five Minutes a Month 
with the Stewart Clipping Machine on a dairy cow keeps the 
hair short on udder, flanks and underline, making cleaning before milking a 
quick, easy job. Long hair gathers dirt and filth, that can’t be prevented 
from dropping into the milk. Regular clipping is a big help toward keeping 
the cow clean. Only a clean cow produces clean milk. Clip with a Stewart 
—no progressive dairy farm can afford to be without it. 
Let Stewart users tell you their experience:

I have used a Stewart Clipping Ma¬

anyone trying to produce clean milk 
v.-ill find that clipping is as necessary 
es barn cleaning.

The clipper is doing excellent work, 
and cows gain from four to ten pounds 
of milk a day. It makes milking a 
nice clean job.

milk clipped helps greatly in keeping 
down tne bacteria court, which is 
absolutely necessary in certified milk.

Exchange Pennies for Dollars 
It pays to invest in cow health. The cost 
of a package of Kow-Kare, the great cow 
medicine, is measured in cents; the increased 
milk income from a healthy cow is reckoned 
in dollars. 
Kow-Kare enjoys a quarter-century record 
of leadership in the prevention and 
successful treatment of all cow ailments 
due to weakened digestive or genital 
organs, such as Barrenness, Retained 
Afterbirth, Lost Appetite, Scouring, 
Bunches and Abortion. The Kow-Kare 
treatment is inexpensive but produces 
prompt and visable results. One trial will 
convince you. 
Buy Kow-Kare from feed dealers, general 
stores or druggists.

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Cows Coughing 
My cow, about 10 years old, has been 
milking nine months. She gives a large 
flow of milk, is in good flesh, and very 
hearty. Lately has had a light cough, as 
though there was something in her throat. 
It seems like gas from her stomach that 
causes the cough. She does not breathe 
hard, does not bother about running; 
seems to cough after being in stable a few 
hours. I have had the cow two years. 
She was tested for tuberculosis before I 
bought her. ir. n. d. 
Maine. 
Better have the cow retested with tu¬ 
berculin. as tuberculosis always is to be 
suspected. There are many other causes 
of cough, and to determine the exact cause 
a careful examination has to be made. 
Cows often have lung worms in the air 
passages of the lungs and windpipe. They 
are taken in on old pasture. Affected 
calves may die of pneumonia on that ac¬ 
count, but adult cattle seldom succumb. 
There is no certain remedy. Intertracheal 
injections of chloroform or turpentine 
mixture are given by veterinarians with 
some degree of success. It is usual to 
fumigate calves with burning sulphur or 
iodin volatilized from a hot brick placed 
in a gunny sack, into which the head of 
the calf is held for a few seconds daily. 
If tuberculosis is not the cause, the true 
one may be determined by the veterin¬ 
arian. Meanwhile give glyco-lieroin two 
or tln’oe times daily if the cough causes 
distress. 
Nettle Rash 
l have a horse about 12 years old that 
lias a bad -rash on his flanks aud around 
his shoulders. Under the hair it is just 
like a nutmeg grater. He gets about two 
quarts of oats a day and plenty of good 
Timothy hay, and is out on grass part of 
the time. I use him very little ; that is 
why I give him so few oats. His coat is 
cute long, but I intend to have him 
c'ipped soon, as 1 always do every Fall. 
He has good life when driving. J. G. B. 
Massachusetts. 
Clip the horse and see that he is worked 
or well exercised every day. Wash affect¬ 
ed parts of skin with a 1-100 per cent so¬ 
lution of coal tar dip as often as found 
necessary. If the trouble persists, mix 
a tablespoonful of granular hyposulphite 
of soda iu the feed ouce daily. Better 
stop allowing grass. 
Dose of Fowler’s Solution 
I wish full directions for giving Fow¬ 
ler’s solution of arsenic to a horse for 
heaves. You advise one-half ounce night 
and morning. Can you tell me how much 
to give, measured by tablespoon, as I have 
no way to measure half ounce. J. R. B. 
A tablespoon holds practically half an 
ounce of solution and may be used as the 
needed measure. A teaspoon holds ap¬ 
proximately 60 drops or one dram, and an 
ounce consists of 8 drams or teaspoon¬ 
ful, birt it would not be wise to use* such 
measurements for a powdered drug that 
is not of simple nature. The Fowler’s 
solution may be given in a little water 
with a half-ounce syringe, or may be 
mixed with dampened feed. If a large 
syringe is used, some of the medicine 
may be lost; it therefore is best to use a 
strong, short-barreled and nozzled half 
ounce hard rubber syringe, giving repeat¬ 
ed doses with it until all of the fluid has 
been administered. When the solution 
no lornror is needed, discontinue it gradu¬ 
ally, taking 10 days or so to the process: 
otherwise the horse may miss it badly and 
therefore fall off in condition.

Lameness 
I have a mule that has “been lame for 
about two weeks. The pastern joint is 
much swollen. The pain seems to be be¬ 
tween bock joint and pastern joint; prob¬ 
ably the sinews are strained. Have tried 
different remedies that neighbors have 
recommended, but none has given any re¬ 
lief. C. C. 
New Jersey. 
The best possible treatment for a severe 
snrain or breakdown of the tendons of 
the fetlock is a plaster of Paris cast, im¬ 
mediately applied. The part lias first to 
be bandaged with cheesecloth; then the 
plaster bandages are immersed in water 
containing a litt'e alum and are then to 
he wound spirally around the leg, from 
foot to hook or knee joint. Bandage 
after bandage is anplied until a thick, 
strong cast is formed. A good plan is to 
have a pound or two of plaster mixed to 
the consistency of thick cream and apply 
it to the layer of bandage, with the hand, 
to form a thick cast in less time and with¬ 
out using so many bandages. A greased 
cord should be wound in with the ban¬ 
dages to facilitate removal. That should 
be done in two weeks, when a new cast 
may be put on, if thought necessary. A 
high-heeled shoe also helps. At the pres¬ 
ent stage we should poultice for two or 
three days with antinhlogistine, put on 
hot. and covered with absorbent cotton 
and bandages. When inflammation sub¬ 
sides discontinue poulticing and apply 
compound soap liniment twice daily. 
Later it may be necessary to clip off the 
hair and apply a blister or have the ten¬ 
dons, fired and blistered by a veterinarian.
