Leaky piston rings are too costly, no 
matter how little you pay for them. If 
they are not designed right and if they 
aren’t carefully manufactured from the 
finest metal — they will let enough oil 
and gas waste past them to cause many 
oil and carbon troubles, a great loss of 
engine power, and a tremendous waste 
of gasoline and lubricating oil. 
What little extra money the best rings 
cost you is made up many times over 
in economical and satisfactory gas en¬ 
gine operation. 
McQuay-Norris Equipment—the ( Sup«pov€ 
Ring to keep oil out of the combustion 
chamber — and the genuine 't^ oo^ 
Ring to prevent the leakage of fuel— 
will increase your gas engine power— 
save gas and oil—and decrease carbon 
troubles. These rings represent 10 
years of successful experience in piston 
ring manufacture. Your dealer can 
supply you in any size or over-size for 
any make or model of engine.

—the historic scene of early settlement in what are now the 
Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward 
Island—may today be the land of opportunity for which you have 
been looking. Lying out into the Atlantic, close to the biggest 
markets in America, nearer to Europe than any port in the U.S. they 
Offer Special Advantages to the Farmer 
fruit raiser, dairyman and market gardener. Land of great natural fertility, 
in many cases with substantial improvements, may be bought at very reason¬ 
able prices from farmers who are retiring to enjoy the reward of their fore¬ 
sight and industry. The apple, potato, and fodder crops of these Provinces 
are world famous, and modest capital will here start you on the highway to 
success. Industrial cities and towns afford a ready market for produce of 
the farm, and near at hand are ocean ports awaiting your shipments to the 
great centers of the world. If your present conditions do not assure you 
of the success you desire, investigate what these Provinces can do for you.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Worms of Rabbits 
I have young rabbits, from four to six 
weeks old, that have worms, I think. I 
have been giving a few drops of turpen¬ 
tine in water. They are thin and do not 
grow very fast: also have had some die 
with bowel trouble or white diarrhoea. 
What would you advise? Do you think 
rabbits are profitable, and will there be 
good demand in the markets for them? 
New York. j. c. 
You should, if possible, have described 
the worms affecting your rabbits; but we 
think it most probable that the variety 
present is Strongylus strigosus, which is a 
small pink, thread-like worm. When 
numerous they cause wasting, diarrhoea, 
and sometimes fits and death from blood¬ 
lessness and debility. Treatment is rather 
unsatisfactory, but is worth trying. Give 
two to five-grain doses of saccharated 
carbonate of iron every morning, feed 
generously and allow free access to salt. 
After treatment move the rabbits onto 
clean ground or that which has been 
dressed with 1.000 lbs. of salt to the acre. 
It is our impression that thus far the 
greater profit iu rabbit breeding and rais¬ 
ing has been made by the fanciers who 
supply amateurs with breeding stock. The 
business is difficult and disappointing to 
most beginners, and before engaging in 
it extensively you should inquire of local 
meat-market men as to the probable mar¬ 
ket if you succeed in raising enough rab¬ 
bits for that purpose 
Rickets 
T have a young collie dog, about three 
months old. that went lame about three 
weeks ago. Veterinarian said dog had 
sprained his foot. A week after the other 
front foot showed same symptoms, and 
dog now is walking on his two front 
knees. Veterinarian told us to use hot 
vinegar and salt, which we did. but did 
not help. Dog is a valuable animal. 
New Jersey. J. n. p. 
The puppy has in all probability become 
afflicted with rickets, so that his legs will 
not support his body. Chances of perfect 
recovery are poor. Make braces for the 
fore legs, or put on padded splints of 
gutttapercha. molded to the parts while 
warm, or it may even he necessary to put 
light plaster of paris or starch bandages 
upon the legs. Try the latter first, if 
other braces cannot successfully be ad¬ 
justed. Give emulsion of cod liver oil 
twice daily. If you can obtain it, prefer 
phosphated emulsion for this purpose. 
Also feed milk and limewater and a va¬ 
riety of meats and plenty of bones. 
Remedy for Thrush 
A recent inquirer wanted to know how 
to cure thrush in horses. Take one-half 
pint turpentine, tablespoon fill pulverized 
blue vitriol, shake well at intervals for a 
week. Pour it in around the frog. Three 
or four applications will cure the ease, 
no matter how bad. It will cure foul 
hoof in cattle. I have cured many eases, 
both in horses and cows. It is the best 
remedy for thrush fever in horses that I 
ever found. H. J. M. 
Hasbrouck, N. Y. 
Calomel is the more popular remedy 
for thrush, and is generally prescribed by 
veterinarians, but the mixture suggested 
by our correspondent is a good one if 
judiciously used. The trouble is that blue 
vitriol (sulphate of copper or Milestone) 
is liable to eat too deeply, and so must 
be carefully used. We have seen several 
cases in which it had been used in open 
joint from nail prick, and necessitated 
destruction of the horse. It was found 
present in the coffin joint after death. 
We prescribe Milestone solution when 
foot-rot is severe, the Bacillus necro- 
phorus having caused death of tissues 
with formation of under-running pus. It 
is especially useful in foot-rot of sheep. 
We feel sure, however, that the mixture 
proposed by our correspondent will be 
found useful in many cases, and _ so our 
readers will do well to give it a trial. 
Swollen Glands 
One of my heifers is due to calve short¬ 
ly, and is in fair condition, but she has 
a growth in her throat. We called a 
doctor, and he advised iodide of potash, 
one tablespoonful twice a day. We have 
been giving it to her. but she is no better. 
It is hard for her to breathe. She makes 
a loud noise all the time, and now she 
hardly eats anything, and a kind of foam 
comes from her mouth C. w. S. 
New York. 
The correct dose of iodide of potash 
in such a ease would be one dram (about 
one teaspoonful) twice daily in water, 
and that, we think, would be the dose 
prescribed. A tablespoonful (four drams) 
twice daily quickly would cause iodiu 
poisoning, and abortion would be likely 
to result. The medicine should be stopped 
at once, but tincture of iodin may be ap¬ 
plied to the enlargement every other day. 
If an abscess is present it should be 
lanced for liberation of pus. In many 
cases of this sort tuberculosis of the 
glands of the throat is present, and is in¬ 
curable. To determine that the _veter- 
inarian should apply the ophthalmic and 
intradermal tuberculin tests.

Accent on the u pay* 
Papec is pronounced "pay-peck ” 
— with the accent or. the "pay” 
W HILE it is only a coincidence 
that in the name Papec, the 
word “pay” should sound with special 
emphasis, it is not a mere coincidence 
that, when you consider the purchase of 
an ensilage cutter, the Papec machine 
should stand out above all others. 
For twenty years the Papec has been 
built upon the same mechanical 
principles. That these principles were 
correct twenty years ago. and that they 
are correct today, is shown by the demand 
for Papec Cutters — a demand which has 
made the Papec plant the largest exclusive 
ensilage cutter factory in the world. 
You will want to know about these 
principles of Papec construction. 
You will want to know whythe Papec oper¬ 
ates with less power, and how the fact 
that it operates with less power proves tha 
efficiency of the Papec throughout. Our 
catalog illustrates these points, tells why 
youshould“ Own Your Own Papec,” how 
we can make this remarkable guarantee : 
"TVe guarantee any Papec Cutter to 
throw and blow ensilage perpendicularly 
to the height of any silo, with any power, 
provided the speed of the cutting wheel 
does not fall below six hundred ( 600 ) 
revolutions per minute. We also 
guarantee that any Papec Cutter will cut 
and elevate more ensilage with the same 
power than any other blower cutter .”
