and by fully supplying nutritious feed at 
all times. 
Horses need to have their teeth put 
in order by a veterinarian in Spring and 
Autumn, and to be freed from worms 
now and then, as do all farm animals 
with the exception of adult cattle. Fowl¬ 
er’s solution of arsenic, in half ounce 
doses night and morning, may be given 
to a horse if he fails to pick up when 
treated as we have suggested. It should 
be given in a little water or sprinkled on 
the feed and should be discontinued grad¬ 
ually when no longer needed, taking at 
least 10 days to the process. It may also 
be given to thriftless cattle, provided they 
have been tested with tuberculin and 
found free from tuberculosis. 
A good general mixture for all live 
stock, to help prevent worms and stimu¬ 
late healthy appetite is composed of salt, 
280 parts; dried sulphate of iron, 16 
parts; powdered wood charcoal, 12 parts 
and flowers of sulphate, S parts by weight. 
Mix thoroughly, grind fine and place in a 
protected box where it can be taken by 
animals at will, especially when on grass. 
Thriftless Cows 
In a recent paper there was a worm 
medicine for horses which seems to prove 
satisfactory. I wish to know if the same 
would do for cows. I think that must be 
the trouble with my cows. I had them 
tested for tuberculosis but they are free 
from that but keep thin and don’t milk 
well. Although fed heavily. C. J. 
Cows are so rarely infested with worms 
that it will be safe to conclude that there 
is some other cause of the thriftless? con¬ 
dition mentioned. No medicine need 
therefore be given for worms, and so far 
as possible it is always well to avoid 
drugging dairy cows. A careful search 
should be made to locate the true cause 
of the failure of the cows to produce well 
and their loss of flesh. To start with we 
should suggest that if the test for tuber¬ 
culosis has not been applied later than 
six months ago it should be repeated at 
once. If the first testing was done by an 
inexperienced person, or under conditions 
which might make the subcutaneous, or 
under the skin, test unreliable, a qualified 
veterinarian should now be employed to 
combine any two of the three tests, which 
are subcutaneous; intradermic, or into the 
skin of the root of the tail (caudal fold) 
test; and ophthalmic, or into the eye test. 
It is even advisable in some instances of 
doubt to combine the three tests. Doing 
so certainly settles the matter beyond 
doubt. Reacting animals should be dis¬ 
posed of in the manner prescribed by 
State- law. which the veterinarian will 
explain. If the cows do not react, or were 
quite recently tested by an expert, it 
may be that the housing is to blame or th* 1 
ration is not adequate or complete. Ilad 
you told us what you feed we could have 
given a confident opinion as to that. Have 
the stable perfectly ventilated and lighted 
and keep it clean. The temperature 
should not exceed 50 to 55 degrees. The 
folio-wing feeding is practically necessary 
if dairy cows are to do well and keep in 
good condition : They must have a legume 
hay, such as clover or Alfalfa, of which 
about 10 lbs. per day will suffice, if they 
are also fed 30 or 35 lbs. of sound corn 
silage which is also requisite. In addi¬ 
tion it is necessary to feed one pound of 
a well balanced or complete concentrated 
mixture for every 3 or 4 lbs. of milk 
produced by each cow daily. One part 
each of ground corn or barley and oats, 
along with an equal amount of wheat 
bran and a half part of oilmeal will suf¬ 
fice, or feed a mixture of such feeds as 
you can readily supply compounded by an 
expert of this paper or the State experi¬ 
ment station. Let the cattle take some 
outdoor exercise daily, allow access to 
salt, air-slaked lime and wood ashes or 
steamed bone meal and take the chill off 
the drinking water. Groom them daily. 
Liability for Mortgage 
A friend bought an equipped farm on 
contract. When he has half paid he is 
to get deed and give bond and mortgage 
on balance. He expects to get deed in 
Spring and is thinking of buying another 
farm, moving stock and equipment from 
this one and letting this one go back to 
former owner, as it is undesirable. Can 
he do that, or will bond hold him? Mort¬ 
gage is on farm only. Is it customary 
to give bond with mortgage ? f. j. k. 
If your friend signs a bond he will be 
obliged to pay any deficiency if the prop¬ 
erty is sold on a mortgage foreclosure.

Those Old, Reliable 
Hay Unloading Tools 
Away back in 1867, at the close of the Civil War, in a little barn 
near Fairfield, Iowa, William Louden built and patented the origi¬ 
nal Louden Hay Carrier. For the next seven years he drove up and 
down through the community in which he lived, climbing around 
in the “cobweb regions” demonstrating to farmers how his Hay Car¬ 
rier worked. He found prejudice and distrust on every hand because 
a Hay Carrier was an entirely new idea. 
But gradually the idea took hold and William Louden’s Hay Car¬ 
rier proved even 50 years ago to be a sound investment. Customers 
became friends and William Louden’s fame began to spread. His 
Hay Carriers have |since been sold by hundreds of thousands and 
many of them 30, 35 and 40 years old are still in use. 
From the beginning it has been the Louden policy to give value 
received and to make every customer a friend. We honestly believe 
that in 57 years we have gained one of the finest groups of satisfied 
customers in the world and we extend to you a cordial invitation to 
become one of them, if, indeed, you are not already one.
