Cut theCosts- 
Swell the Profits 
The stock-grower who keeps his cost of production low enough 
is safe on any market. Selling on a high market he gets big profits 
—on a low market he gets some profits instead of facing a loss. 
And whether you produce dairy products, beef, pork, mutton or 
wool you can surely reduce costs by regularly adding to the 
ration the tested, dependable stock tonic— 
Pratts Animal Regulator 
It helps build and preserve stock health:—that means work 
animals in the harness every day, steady milk production from 
every cow, rapid growth of young stock. It aids digestion:— 
that means a saving of food, all used, none wasted. It strengthens 
and tones up the whole system:—that means strength, vigor and 
vitality without which any animal is oflittle value. 
Cut costs, too, by checking contagious diseases which may kill 
some of your stock and seriously injure the rest. Use, regularly 
and freely, 
Pratts Dip and Disinfectant 
to kill disease germs and parasites. As a dip to exterminate lice 
and ticks and overcome skin troubles. As a disinfectant to 
maintain stables and pens in sanitary condition. Low in cost— 
. safe—powerful-efficient. 
Make this your motto—“Every animal on the job every day.” 
Then make'good by using Pratts Stock Preparations. You must 
ba° pleased^*

Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Ailing Dogs 
Last June I had an ox die from 
founder. I put the meat into a medium 
salt brine and fed it to my two Airedale 
dogs, now eight months old. Sometimes 
I gave it to them without freshening. 
Their hair has been shedding and would 
come out easily when pulled. They have 
a wheezing cough* in morning and also 
during the day when first exercising, but 
have a good appetite, but are not iu good 
flesh. About once in 60 days I give each 
of them three one-fourth grain calomel 
tablets, one hour apart, for worms and 
to prevent black tongue. L. C. B. 
Florida. 
Meat brine is deadly to dogs when 
taken freely, and a little of it may cause 
severe vomiting or purging and bad after 
effects. Avoid salt meat for dogs. Give 
parboiled liver once or twice a week t<> 
regulate bowels and stop the calomel. 
Keep dogs from eating garbage or car¬ 
rion of any kind and. if possible, from 
drinking stagnant water. Feed oatmeal 
and milk, vegetable soup, without pota¬ 
toes. and allow a big raw beef bone every 
week. One meal each evening will he 
enough to allow. Do not give medicine 
of any sort unless absolutely necessary. 
Lice; Worms 
I have a horse eight years old. lie has 
lice and passes worms. Can you tell me 
what to do for him? o. T. M. 
New York. 
Kill the lice by washing infested skin 
with a solution of coal-tar dip made ac¬ 
cording to directions given by the manu¬ 
facturer. Repeat the application as often 
as found necessary, and cleanse, disinfect 
and whitewash the stable. If the weather 
is too cold to make use of a liquid safe, 
dust the infected skin with a mixture of 
equal quantities of freshly powdered p.v- 
rethrum and flowers of sulphur and then 
blanket the horse. Brush well; in 24 
hours repeat the application. To destroy 
intestinal worms mix in the 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 (powdered copperas! and 
flowers of sulphur; then stop for 10 days 
and then give the powders for another 
week. Omit iron for a mare in foal and 
increase sulphur. 
Leaking Teats 
I have a cow which has a teat from 
which milk drops. We have not had the 
cow long, and only noticed the defect re¬ 
cently. W 7 hat treatment would he help¬ 
ful in stopping the trouble? The cow 
should go dry in about a month. J. N. 
Pennsylvania. 
Coat the tip of the teat with melted 
wax or paraffin after each milking, and if 
that does not avail, use flexible collodion 
in the same way. Stop applications for a 
time if teat becomes sore. 
Distemper 
I have a collie dog that seems to be 
coming down with the distemper—eyes 
bloodshot, twitching of limbs. Can you 
tell me what to do for it? T. F. M. 
Maine. 
A qualified veterinarian should at once 
be employed to treat the dog with dis¬ 
temper bacterin. If that cauuot be done, 
give dog distemper medicine .which may 
be bought at most drug stores. Mean¬ 
while keep the dog dry and feed scraped 
raw beef, milk and raw eggs, soups and 
any nutritious feed he will eat. Keep 
up his strength. Keep nose and eyes 
cleansed with a saturated solution of 
boric acid. Give 10-grain doses of bis¬ 
muth subnitrate, washed down with 
water, two or three times daily, if he 
starts scouring. 
Garget 
I have a cow that has been giving 
cheesy milk for the past month. 1 had 
two local veterinarians look at her. The 
first gave me white liniment and iodin*' 
to rub on her udder. I tried this for 
two weeks but it did no good. When I 
started only one teat was affected, now 
both teats on same side are affected. 
The second doctor told me to dissolve 
one tablespoon of saltpeter in 4 quarts 
of warm water and bathe udder. This 
does no good. The milk is drying up 
fast. Do you think it will pay me to 
breed this cow. or will she lose both 
teats when she comes in fresh? I hate to 
lose her as she is one of the best milkers 
in the herd. F. A. H. 
New Jersey. 
You should have treated the case for 
garget as often advised in these columns. 
The veterinarians should haye given treat¬ 
ment with mastitis bacterin. We fear 
that it will now be too late to save the 
affected quarters and that it may be the 
best policy to dry off the remaining milk 
secretion and fit the cow for the butcher. 
If you do not care to do that strip the 
udder clean every two or three hours, 
massaging it well each time, and at night 
thoroughly rub in a little mercurial oint¬ 
ment. The milk is unfit for use. In¬ 
ternally give a dram of iodide of potash 
night and morning, in water, for five 
consecutive days a week, for two weeks. 
UNADILLA 
SILOS 
The reason why the Unadilla sell* 
two for one of any other silo in the 
East i* because its patented construc¬ 
tion keeps silage best and provide* 
the easiest, safest, most economical 
way of storing and using silage. 
The Unadilla door cannot stick or 
freeze in—it is opened automatically 
by simply raising the fastener, and 
gives a continuous opening through 
which the silage is shoved, saving the heavy 
work of pitching overhead. These fasteners 
are also the rungs of the famous Unadilla 
door-front ladder— ai easy and safe to climb 
aa a stairway. Hoops are easily, safely adjust¬ 
able from this ladder, keeping the ailo 
always in prime condition.
