Indigestion, Worms 
I have a mare nine years old that the 
veterinarian says has chronic indigestion. 
I have given her one quart linseed oil at 
two different times. I am feeding her 
two quarts oats and one quart bran twice 
a day, with mixed Timothy and clover 
hay. She stands in the stall and paws 
and seems to be greatly distressed. I 
would like to know what can be done for 
her and what is the cause of her trouble. 
Ohio. R. A. E. 
The ailments described should prove 
curable in time if the cause does not hap¬ 
pen to be the presence of a stone (cal¬ 
culus) or hair ball in the intestines or an 
aneurysm, due to blood worms. The lat¬ 
ter is a dilatation of a mesenteric artery, 
of the intestines, and causes colic in some 
cases and eventually may rupture and 
cause death from bleeding. That is not 
a common ailipent, but one that some¬ 
times is met with and should be under¬ 
stood. It should emphasize the impor-. 
tance of ridding colts of blood worms, for 
it is in the early years of life that the 
trouble occurs. There is no remedy, nor 
can the calculi referred to be removed. 
On general principles we should advise 
the following treatment. Have the teeth 
put in order by a veterinarian. Then 
give the feed from a large, shallow box 
to prevent bolting. If bolting still oc¬ 
curs. mix a few hard peas with the grain. 
Feed a mixture of one-ninth part of wheat 
bran along with the crushed or whole 
oats. Dampen it at meal times. Of the 
mixture allow a pound for every 100 
pounds of body weight, in 3 feeds, as a 
day’s ration. Give a similar quantity of 
hay, the greater part of it at night and 
only one or two pounds at noon when 
the mare has to work hard. Increase the 
grain mixture a little when the work is 
hard, or in very cold weather add a few 
ears of corn. Reduce grain during idle¬ 
ness and correspondingly increase hay. 
Bed with planing-mill shavings or saw¬ 
dust if she eats her bedding. 
Have her work or take outdoor exercise 
every day and let her occupy a roomy box 
stall when iu the stable. It is most im¬ 
portant that she should never stand far 
a single day without working or taking 
exercise. Allow free access to rock salt 
or block salt. To rid her of worms 
which probably are present withhold feed 
for 36 hours and then have the veteri¬ 
narian administer 4 or 5 drams of oil of 
chenopodium in a gelatin capsule and fol¬ 
lowing immediately with a quart of raw 
linseed oil. This is the latest and best 
treatment to rid a horse of worms and 
may safely be given to a mare in foal.

Wonderful Aid to Cows 
At Calving Time 
You Seed not dread calving—once you 
learn how to help your cows through this 
dangerous period. Serious disorders—often 
of a permanent nature—can be avoided by 
seeing that the cow’s genital and digestive 
organs are in top notch health before calf 
birth. 
Thousands of dairymen write us of the 
splendid results of feeding Kow-Kare two or 
three weeks before and two weeks after 
calving L. A. Richardson, Marine, Ill., 
-writes: "I gave Kow-Kare to every cow, com¬ 
mencing one month before calving time and 
continuing one month afterward. It has also 
been a great guard against a tendency to 
abort when given during pregnancy. I have 
three dairymen on my farms ^and we never 
lose a calf or have a sick cow. 
G. E. Moison, Clam Falls, Wis., says: *1 
find Kow-Kare to he one of the best things 
I can find to give my cows before calving. 
They are never troubled with retained after¬ 
birth and the calves never have scours, when 
Kow-Kare is given.” 
J. E. Liberte, Newington, N. H., writes: 
“Am using my first box of Kow-Kare and 
find it is doing good work. A cow dropped 
her calf three weeks ago and didn’t give 
four quarts of milk a day ; she is now giving 
ten and one-half quarts.” 
Kow-Kare has medicinal properties that 
stimulate and strengthen the genital and 
digestive organs—the seat of nearly all cow 
diseases. It is a reliable remedy for Barren¬ 
ness, Abortion, Retained Afterbirth, Scours, 
Bunches, Milk Fever, Lost Appetite and a 
sure aid in increasing the milk yield of 
healthy cows. 
You can realize greater profits from dairy¬ 
ing by the use of Kow-Kare. Send for our 
free book, "The Home Cow Doctor." It will 
help you to greater dairy success. You can 
buy Kow-Kare in $1.25 and 65c packages 
from your feed dealer, general store or 
druggist.

Tonics for Live Stock 
I wish a formula for a good cow tonic. 
I would like a tonic that would purify 
the blood and tone the digestive system 
up in general. TV. R. 
Pennsylvania. 
Fresh air, exercise, sanitary housing, 
proper grooming and an adequate supply 
of pure drinking water and rations that 
perfectly supply all of the requirements 
of the body are the best tonics possible, 
and fortunately they, are free, in many 
instances, and always purchasable at 
moderate or just rates, where they have 
to be bought. Before giving farm ani¬ 
mals tonics of any sort see to it that 
their stables are light, perfectly ventilated 
and kept scrupulously clean, and that 
horses and cattle are groomed and exer¬ 
cised every day. Allow free access to 
salt and provide, as a part of the ration, 
a legume hay, especially for cattle, as 
well as feeding plenty of grain of various 
kinds and wheat bran and oilmeal. Roots 
or silage also provide needed succulence. 
Hogs and sheep must have sanitary 
housing, complete feeding, abundant ex¬ 
ercise and the blessings accruing from 
daily exposure to direct sunlight which 
is absolutely necessary to the health of 
all animals and to children and adults 
as well. Generally, hogs need in addi¬ 
tion to salt air-slaked lime or ground 
limestone, wood ashes or bonemeal, and 
dairy cows may also require mineral mat¬ 
ters in addition to those supplies by 
legume hay and mixed meals. Purifica¬ 
tions of the blood is not brought about 
by administering tonics but by stimu¬ 
lating full action of the excretory organs
