Worm Powders for Horses 
Can you tell me the proportion to mix 
the powdered gentian and ferrous sul¬ 
phate for the worm medicine for horses? 
Vermont. c. a. e. 
A mixture of powdered gentian and 
ferrous sulphate (sulphate of iron) is 
not sufficiently effective as an expeller of 
the worms of horses. We prefer to pre¬ 
scribe a mixture of two parts of salt and 
one part each (by weight) of flowers of 
sulphur and dried sulphate of iron. Of 
this the dose for an adult horse is one 
tablespoonful given night and morning in 
the dampened feed of whole or crushed 
oats and one-ninth part of wheat bran. 
It should be given for a week ; then stop 
for 10 days; then give the powders for 
another week. The second treatment is 
to destroy or expel worms hatched out 
from eggs left in the intestines. Iron 
stains the teeth a yellowish color, but 
does no material harm. It also turns the 
feces black or dark in color. When that 
is observed it may be concluded that the 
medicine is strong enough to have an in¬ 
jurious effect upon the worms. As iron 
cannot safely be given to a mare in foal, 
it is best to omit iron for such a mare 
and to double the sulphur. A large mare 
may safely take a tablespoonful of sul¬ 
phur in her evening feed for a week or 
more, or may be given the mixture of salt 
and sulphur twice daily, as already pre¬ 
scribed. A far better treatment, how¬ 
ever, and one that may safely be given to 
a mare in foal, is to withhold feed for 36 
hours and then have a veterinarian ad¬ 
minister four or five drams of oil of chen- 
opodium (pronounced kenopodium) in a 
gelatin capsule, and follow immediately 
with one quart of raw linseed oil. No 
other treatment is required, and the 
worms continue to pass from the horse 
for some days. The iron treatment is ex¬ 
pected to kill the worms in the intestines 
so that they are digested there. They 
should not, therefore, be looked for in the 
feces. When oil of chenopodium is ad¬ 
ministered the worms are expelled from 
the intestines alive or dead. Colts take 
less doses, according to age and size. The 
dose for swine is 30 drops in oz. of 
castor oil for every 50 lbs. of body weight 
after withholding feed for 24 hours. Give 
the medicine from a bottle or dose 
syringe, and in no instance give a pig 
less than 1 oz. of castor oil along with 
the other medicine. It may be repeated 
in two weeks if thought to be necessary.

One Hundred Per Cent Horse Since 1892 
Thirty-one years old in May; 26 years’ 
service with one owner and driver, and 
still coltish in his actions is the record 
of “Bill,” a gray horse of 1,100 lbs., 
owned by E. II. Bliss of Mount Vernon, 
N. Y. This horse, born in 1892, was first 
driven by liis present owner in 1897. 
For three years lie made five trips a week, 
year’round, on the once-popular “peddling 
cart" of the. country merchant. Then 
for the past 23 years lie lias been a farm 
horse, always taking an active part in 
every bit of horse work on a two-horse 
farm. lie lias never been hitched to a 
load that lie could not pull, and is popu¬ 
larly known as the strongest horse in his 
neighborhood. Today, after 16 years’ 
strenuous duty, he is as good as ever at 
work; liis eyesight, is good, limbs sound 
and wind as good as ever. The only de¬ 
fect liis owner knows of is slight deaf¬ 
ness. 
Fortunately for veteran “Bill,” he has 
an owner who is ready to make lii's last 
years lazily perfect ones as a reward if 
he ever shows signs of wanting retire¬ 
ment from active service. e it b

An Automobile Tire Tethsr 
A great many people find it desirable 
to tether live stock, calves, cows, or. more 
particularly, bulls. When pestered with 
flies, startled, or even in play, cattle will 
not infrequently give a quick toss of the 
head, giving a sharp jerk on the rope. If 
it is firmly attached to a post or bar, this 
frequently breaks the rope or halter. It 
not infrequently happens that bulls tear 
their nose ring right out in this way. 
The plan which I am using is to attach 
the tether rope to a discarded automobile 
tire, then toss the tire over a post or bar. 
The tire yields sufficiently so that if the 
animal gives a sharp jerk the tether rope 
is not subjected to such a sharp snap as 
is the case when it is attached directly to 
a perfectly rigid support. This is also 
very conveniently moved, as the tire can 
be lifted over the bar more quickly than 
a rope can be untied. f. h. l. 
“You look like a good risk. Mrs. Ma¬ 
lone. but will you kindly tell me what 
your father died of?” “Oi can’t rightly 
remimber as to tbot, sur, but sure it was 
nothing serious.”—Life.

Our Dr. Clark Purity Milk Strainer 
is also endorsed by the Connecticut 
State Dairy and Food Commission, 
Agricultural Colleges, Dairy and 
Food Commissioners, and the small¬ 
est as well as the largest dairymen

Why? Because they know that the Dr.Clark 
will do what no other strainer can do—re¬ 
move every last bit of sediment, no matter 
how fine, from milk. They not only know 
it — but we guarantee it on your herd or 
any other. 
For ordinary herds, use 10-qt. size; for large 
herds, the 18-qt. Inexpensive and lasts a 
lifetime. If your dealer can’t supply you,
