Put on in Minutes 
Stays on for Months 
Whitewash and disinfect your 
poultry houses, dairy barns and 
hog pens with Carbola, the Dis¬ 
infecting White Paint. You can 
put it on with a spray pump or 
brush in minutes and it stays on 
for months. It will help make 
your live stock quarters bright, 
clean and sanitary. It will help 
to prevent the start and spread 
of contagious disease among your 
stock and to keep your animals 
free from lice and mites. 
Carbola is a white paint and a 
powerful disinfectant combined 
in powder form. Just mix it with 
water and it’s ready to be ap¬ 
plied. It will not clog the sprayer. 
It dries pure white. It does not 
flake off or peel off. It does not 
spoil, even after it is mixed. A 
pound of Carbola makes enough 
disinfectant paint to cover 100 
square feet. The dry Carbola 
powder makes an excellent and 
inexpensive louse powder. 
Give Carbola a trial. Get it from your hardware, 
feed, seed, poultry supply or drug dealer—or order 
it direct. Your money back if you’re not satisfied.

Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Warts on Teats 
I have a heifer that has warts on teats 
like a small peanut. How could I get 
rid of same? c. F. H. 
New York. 
The exact cause of such growths is un¬ 
known, but there is evidently an exces¬ 
sive nutrition of the skin, and it is 
thought that this may have been induced 
by irritation or the squeezing effect of 
milking. Warts that have slim necks 
may be snipped off with scissors, a few 
at a time; then apply tincture of iodine 
to the wounds. If bleeding is excessive 
it may be stopped by bathing with very 
hot water, or by applying Monsel’s solu¬ 
tion or powder. It is best, how T ever, not 
to use Monsel’s preparations unless abso¬ 
lutely necessary, as pus is liable to form 
under the scabs, when such, stiptics 
(bleeding arresters) are applied. 
Another good plan is to saturate the 
warts several times daily with warm wa¬ 
ter containing two drams of washing 
soda per pint. .Make the solution stronger 
if it is not soon effective. The teats may 
be immersed in the solution for five min- 
uates or more night and morning, if that 
is preferred. In the evening, after im¬ 
mersion or bathing, dry the teats gently 
and then apply freely a thick paste com¬ 
posed of equal quantities of cold-pressed 
castor oil, salt and flowers of sulphur. 
That mixture seems to dry up the warts 
so they may be nibbed off after a time. 
Several other remedies for warts have 
been suggested by our readers, and two 
of these may be mentioned here. Once a 
day one man places a little bicarbonate of 
soda on the wart, enough to cover it, and 
then pours on a small quantity of vinegar 
which boils up and washes off the soda. 
He has found that effective for a large 
seed wart on his own hand, and suggests 
it for use on animals. Another winds 
cotton batting on a little stick, saturates 
it with oil of cedar and ipplies that to 
the warts two or three t rues a day with 
good effect. lie has four it equally good 
for warts of man and fo the removal of 
warts from cow’s teats He applies ic 
after milking. 
Diseased Feiret 
Can you give me any advice on curing 
sore feet on a ferret? About two weeks 
ago I discovered the female had sore 
looking toes; red and inflamed on both 
hind feet. I began washing daily with 
warm water and vegetable oil soap, dry¬ 
ing, and then applying a solution of one- 
half teaspoon of boric acid powder in a 
cup of warm water, soaking the sore feet 
in this. It has done no good, and now 
all four feet are sore, inflamed, and pus 
forms under a thick scale. I keep them 
(I have two) in large box, about 12x18 
ft., with dirt bottom, and a box in one 
corner filled with hay for a bed. I put 
clean dirt in every few days, first clean¬ 
ing out all wet, nasty mess. If you can 
give me any advice I would be glad to 
get it, as I hate to lose her. w. c. H. 
Connecticut. 
In the first place, we should advise you 
to make a new hutch or box for the fer¬ 
rets, and put in a board floor instead of 
one of earth. The latter kind of floor 
cannot be kept in a sanitary condition, 
and it seems likely that he disease de¬ 
scribed has largely been caused by wet 
and filth in the living quarters of the 
ferrets. When this has been done it will 
be necessary to cleanse the house every 
day, instead of every few days. A dis¬ 
infecting solution should also be applied 
once a week. A mixture of one part of 
compound cresol solution and 30 parts of 
water, or of one part of coal tar disin¬ 
fectant and 20 parts of water will serve 
for the purpose. Allow the house to dry 
before putting back the ferrets. Strong 
disinfectant solution should not be al¬ 
lowed to get onto the skin of the animals. 
Aso see to it that the ferrets have room 
for abundant exercise and are not too 
heavily fed. 
As to local treatment, immerse the sore 
feet for five minutes or so twice daily in 
a hot l-to-1,000 solution c tjb uo'd or 
in hot water containing all :ht bore acid 
it will dissolve. The dry gentlj and
