SILOS 
S END for the Globe Catalog 
now and learn why the Globe 
Silo so quickly earned an en- 
viable reputation. 
One reason is its extension roof 
which enabled owners to use 
•very foot of silo they paid for. 
A few feet of an extra, scientifi¬ 
cally built roof made a full silo 
possible, after silage settled.

CRAINE 
TRIPLE WALL 
SILOS 
You can easily rebuild your 
old broken-down stave silo 
intofa new, permanent Craine 
the handsomest, strongest 
silo made—and save half the 
cost of a new silo. The Craine 
is a great economy because its 
moderate first cost is its only 
cost for many years. The inner 
wall is of upright staves, 
closely fitted. Then comes a 
wall of Silafelt—waterproof, 
airproof, frost-fighting. Out¬ 
side is the spiral smooth-finish 
Crainelox covering that winds 
to the top—protecting and 
reinforcing every square inch. 
No hoops, no repairs—your silage 
is better, your investment is safer, 
your work and anxiety are reduced.

renewed silos. Write today for 
literature and agency terms.

Stringhalt 
I have a large mare that has string- 
halt in right hind leg. I thought she 
would make a good brood mare. She has 
a nice colt five months old. and is in foal 
again. Will the colts be like her or not? 
New Jersey. A. j. a. 
The tendency to stringhalt is consid¬ 
ered hereditary by many horsemen, and 
the stallion laws of some States dis¬ 
qualify sires affected with the disease. 
Stringhalt may, however, be really an 
accidental condition, due to sprain of 
muscles and injury of nerves. Where 
that is the case and even where thore is 
no history of an injury an operation 
termed peroneal tenotomy, or severing of 
the peroneal tendon which is found on 
the outer side of the lower part of the 
hock joint, often proves remedial. The 
good effects of the operation may not 
appear for a month or mere after healing 
of the wound. The operation can only 
be performed by a trained surgeon, and 
is well worth trying in all cases of string- 
halt. It does not succeed in chorea (St. 
Vitus’ dance), and tendency to that dis¬ 
ease is hereditary in many instances. In 
stringhalt a hind leg is jerked high up 
at every step. In chorea the hind leg is 
jerked up a few times when the horse is 
made to back out of his stall, and the 
tail elevates and quivers and involuntary 
twitching of the muscles of the flank also 
is seen. There is no remedy, and an 
affected mare _ or stallion should not be 
used for breeding. There is no certainty, 
however, that stringhalt will or will not 
occur in the offspring. 
Catarrh; Worms 
I have a few sheep in my flock that 
are not thriving and have quite a dis¬ 
charge from the nostrils. I believe they 
are troubled with intestinal worms. I 
would like to know the directions for the 
gasoline treatment for these intestinal 
worms. w. c. L. 
Pennsylvania. 
Catarrh among sheep at this time of 
the year may be due to the presence of 
gadfly grubs in the upper passages or 
sinuses of the head, and there is no cer¬ 
tain remedy for that, to cold from ex¬ 
posure or wet, or irritation of foul ema¬ 
nations in a dirty, hot, badly ventilated 
stable. Apply pine tar to the noses now 
and then and keep the stable dry, clean 
and well-ventilated Have the sheep 
take pi enty of outdoor exercise every day 
and keep their bowels active. For worms 
give a one per cent solution of pure sul¬ 
phate of copper after starving the sheep 
for 24 hours. The dose for an adult 
sheep is 3% ounces. A lamb under one 
year takes from one to 1 % ounce. Re¬ 
peat the dose in 10 days ami again later, 
if thought to he necessary. This solution 
largely has superseded the gasoline treat¬ 
ment, and while especially effective for 
stomach worms also has a destructive 
effect upon tapeworms, but is not the best 
treatment for those worms. The gaso¬ 
line treatment consists in giving a lamb 
half an ounce of gasoline, one ounce of 
raw linseed oil and five ounces of sweet 
milk well shaken together and adminis¬ 
tered very slowly and carefully to the 
sheep standing on all fours. The animal 
should be starved for IS to 24 hours be¬ 
fore receiving the first dose. Repeat the 
dose three times at intervals of 24 hours. 
Large sheep take l*/. tablespoonful or 
three-fourths ounce of gasoline with the 
same amount of raw linseed oil and five 
ounces of milk. Great care must be 
taken not to suffocate the sheep by let¬ 
ting the fluid get into the lungs. 
Resetting Shoes 
Owing to the fact that we have not 
sufficient blacksmiths here to handle the 
business I am in a position where I am 
either obliged to use my horse when his 
shoe is off or set it myself. They tell me 
that a horse should have his shoes set 
once every month. What I wish to find 
out is would there be any danger of 
seriously injuring my horse if I only set 
over the shoes when they get loose? I 
have known of a man who was a good 
blacksmith who left a shoe on rather 
than set it over, as he said that the foot 
had not grown out enough to hurt it and 
it was nailed on solid enough. Owing to 
lack of proper tools and the fact that I 
must work him quite steadily I do not 
get much time to work on him, and it 
takes me an hour to set one shoe. I use 
neverslip calks. Sometimes in the black¬ 
smith shop I have had to wait several 
hours to get a job done that would not 
take 10 minutes to do. r. h. 
Maine. 
If you have the feet properly leveled 
and shod by an expert blacksmith the 
shoes ueed not be reset for six to eight 
weeks, unless they loosen or the hoofs 
grow so quickly that the shoes are 
dragged out of place. Failure to reset 
the shoes promptly tends to cause corns, 
which are troublesome to cure. Where 
work is not so pressing that a blacksmith 
may give necessary attention without due 
delay, it is, of course, better to have the 
shoes reset every four to six weeks, 
especially in the Summer, or where 
neverslip calks are not used and shoes 
have to be kept “sharpened.” 
Natco Dairy Barns 
Are Warm in Winter 
N atco bams are warm in winter, 
yet cool in summer. They provide 
year-round comfort for your cows. More 
comfort in the stable means more milk in 
the pail — more money in the bank. 
The hollow spaces in a glazed Natco Hollow 
Tile wall provide a blanket of still air through 
which’ heat, cold or dampness will not pass. 
And the cost? Perhaps a little more at first, but far less 
IQ the end than for other construction. The saving in 
insurance and upkeep will repay the added investment 
within a few years. All further savings are clear profit.
