N O MATTER how sturdily a cultivator is built, how 
beautifully it is finished, nor what claims are 
made for it — the way it sells is a sure indica¬ 
tion of its worth. 
Cultivators that have been marketed successfully year 
after year in ever increasing numbers must do good 
work, give lasting service and genuine value. This is 
a fundamental law of business. 
International and 
P & O Cultivators 
Years ago these names were introduced to the cultivator 
users of the world. They were good cultivators then. 
Since that time every possible improvement has been 
made. They stand today at the top of the list — light in 
draft and weight, easy for man or boy to handle, and with 
a well-earned reputation for lasting dependable service. 
In the International line there are fourteen different culti¬ 
vators— walkers, riders, shovel, disk, and -urface. At 
the store of your International dealer you will find 
International or P&O cultivators sure to please you.

More dollars! 
Good silage makes more 
milk— more dollars. Harder 
Silos make the best silage be¬ 
cause the smooth, tight, wooden, 
walls are the best non-conduc¬ 
tors of heat. 
- - ^ When you build 
. a new silo or rebuild 
.your old one, make it 
a Craine—the strongest 
as well as handsomest silo made. 
Its three-wall construction gives 
perfect silage protection. Outside 
the wall of upright staves is an 
air-tight, water-proof, frost-defying 
inner wall of Silafelt. Outside of both 
is the spiral Crainelox covering, of 
giant strength—no hoops, no lugs, no 
weak spots, no repairs, but permanent 
protection for every inch of wall. 
By rebuilding your old stave silo 
into a Craine, you save half the cost 
of a new silo. Ask us to tell you how.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Lameness 
1. We have a horse which is a little 
lame in front at times; his shoulders are 
sunken slightly, and I think he is prob¬ 
ably sweenied, as I can find nothing 
wrong with his feet or legs. What should 
we do with him? 2. We castrated some 
eight-months-old lambs a few weeks ago, 
which got along nicely for about two 
weeks, when they did not seem so lively 
and finally one got lame and died. It 
was swollen but very little. I washed 
the wounds out with creolin solution and 
then applied some black oil containing 
about 35 per cent turpentine. Is there 
anything I could have done to save this 
lamb? m. m. 
1. Without making an examination it 
is impossible for us to determine the 
cause of lameness in the cases mentioned. 
If the seat of the lameness can be located, 
( a blister applied to the skin after clippinr 
i off the hair may prove remedial. 2. Greater 
care should have been taken to disinfect 
the wounds at castration time. With 
Iambs of that age it is a good plan to 
apply a mixture of one part of iodoform 
and three parts of sweet oil freely in the 
wounds, just after the operation. The 
turpentine mixture is irritating and un¬ 
suitable for the purpose mentioned. 
Urticaria 
What is the matter with my horse ? 
She is going on six years old, never has 
done any heavy work outside of a little 
driving to and from village, about four 
or five miles each way, and she has not 
done anything for the last year but stand 
in stable. Yesterday she was hitched to 
plow with another horse, hut only half 
an hour. This morning we noticed she 
has big lumps all over her whole body : 
her jaws are very much swollen. Doctor 
says ehe has hives. Is it so? She is 
fed oats in morning, corn at noon, bran 
at night, about two quarts at each feed¬ 
ing. also hay. c. K. 
New York. 
The disease is urticaria, also called net¬ 
tle rash or surfeit, and is similar to hives 
in a child. Never let any horse stand for 
a single day without work or outdoor ex¬ 
ercise, and stop grain feed when there is 
no work for a horse to do. It would be 
well to lot the horse run on pasture with¬ 
out grain when not at work. Urticaria 
soon subsides when grain or any new feed 
is withheld and a mild physic adminis¬ 
tered. 
Worms of Cat 
We have a nice pet cat that is troubled 
with worms. He sometimes passes small 
white worms, and sometimes vomits them 
up. lie is a hearty eater, and looks sleek 
and nice. What would you advise giving 
him for the worms? a. b. 
Pennsylvania. 
After withholding feed for 24 hours 
give the cat one grain of freshly powdered 
areca nut for each pound of body weight 
Administer it in castor oil, and repeat 
the dose in 10 days. If good results are 
not obtained from areca nut. which may 
not be effective if “shop-worn.” give one 
to three grains of santonin in a capsule 
and follow with a dose of castor oil in 
two hours. 
Wart? 
I have two heifers, one a yearling and 
the other a two-year-old, which have 
numerous warts about the neck, ranging 
in size from a walnut to as large as the 
palm of one’s hand. I would appreciate 
your .advice as to their removal. r. 
New York. 
Twist off or cut off warts that have 
narrow necks, and if bleeding is profuse 
stop it by lightly applying a hot iron. 
Monsel’s solution or powder is also ef¬ 
fective in stopping bleeding, but some- j 
times is followed by a troublesome forma¬ 
tion of pus. Next day apply pine tar 
with an old paint brush, and also rub 
tar into masses of small warts. 
Swellings 
I have a mare five years old that raised 
a colt last year; was in good health and 
at work up to about three weeks ago, 
when I found her one morning with udder 
much swollen. Swelling gradually ex¬ 
tended up to her front leg. In a few days 
that subsided and the other side did the 
same. Lump on side. Doctor thinks the 
place under her flank might be a rupture. 
I gave her a big dose of salts and have 
her on rye in daytime and in a box stall 
at night, with a little hay and -bran. She 
seems well in every other way. a. it. 
Virginia. 
Have you stripped each half of the 
udder? Mainmitis (garget) apparently 
is present, and we think it likely that pus 
has formed one or more abscesses which 
will have to be opened if they do not rup¬ 
ture or discharge through the teat. Have 
the mare attended to by a veterinarian 
who will be able to decide if lancing is 
necessary. Meanwhile rub iodine oint¬ 
ment into the swellings at intervals of 
12 hours, and dissolve a dram of iodide 
of potash in the drinking water night and 
morning for five consecutive days.

hoffs, more cows, more calf raising, Baby

UNADILLA 
SILOS 
The reason why the Unadilla sells 
two for one of any other silo in the 
East is because its patented construc¬ 
tion keeps silage best and provides 
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 tile rungs of the famous Unadilla 
door-front ladder— as easy and safe to climb 
ai a stairway. Hoops are easily, safely adjust¬ 
able from this ladder, keeping the silo 
always in prime condition.
