cade, 15 parts; green soap, 30 parts; 
lard, 30 parts. Mix last three ingredi¬ 
ents first, then thoroughly rub in the 
other two. Apply twice daily. Stop the 
immersion treatment as soon as healing 
evidently is progressing, or if it seems to 
be tardy in starting. It might also be 
well to put a pinch of flowers of sulphur 
in the feed once or twice a week. It 
should be understood that lack of direct 
sunlight alone may help to induce such a 
condition as you describe, for it may 
be a form of eczema, and constitutional, 
instead of being a form of foot mange of 
parasitic origin. For that reaslon it 
would be well to put the ferrets in the 
direct sunshine for a time every day ; not 
behind glass, for the ultra-violet or tan¬ 
ning rays of the sun do not penetrate 
glass, and they are the ones that are pre¬ 
ventive and curative of rickets and bene¬ 
ficial in any systematic disease of shut-in 
animals, or man. 
Scours; Cornmeal for Sows 
1. I had a cow freshen and the calf 
died in a few days with scours. Is there 
any danger of new-born calves contract¬ 
ing scours in the same stall, and, if so, 
what can I do to prevent it? 2. Is there 
any danger in feeding sows cornmeal 
which are to farrow in April? ir.-v. d. 
New York. 
1. As the disease mentioned often is 
infectious, being caused by germs born in 
the calf, or contracted by way of the 
navel or mouth just after birth, there is 
great danger of other calves being sim 
ilarly affected. Medicinal treatment rare¬ 
ly avails, although salol, subnitrate of bis¬ 
muth and tannin may be tried. Mix to¬ 
gether one part of salol and one part of 
tannin with two parts of subnitrate of 
bismuth. The dose for a calf is one- 
half to one teaspoon every three, four or 
six hours, according to age, size and 
severity of attack. Wash the powder 
down with milk or water. It is much bet¬ 
ter, however, to give preventive treat¬ 
ment, for the medicine cannot be depend¬ 
ed upon the save the life of an affected 
calf. Provide a new, light, airy, clean, 
disinfected, whitewashed and freshly bed¬ 
ded calving pen, and a similar calf pen, 
and then keep these pens in a perfectly 
sanitary condition. Isolate affected 
calves. Cleanse, disinfect and whitewash 
the stable, including the floors and gut¬ 
ters. Similarly cleanse the calving pen 
after each calf is born. At birth have 
each calf immunized w r ith polyvalent' calf 
dysenteric serum, which has also some 
remedial value. Consult your veterina¬ 
rian about that treatment. Possibly he 
may prefer to use calf scour bacterin, if 
he has had satisfactory results from its 
use. We have found the serum satisfac¬ 
tory. It is also necessary to saturate the 
stump of the calf’s navel with tincture of 
iodine at birth, and then to dust it with 
powdered starch. Repeat the treatment 
daily, if necessary, until the cord has 
dried, shriveled and been removed. Also 
cleanse and disinfect the udder and teats 
of the cow before the calf is allowed to 
nurse. This may be done with a satu¬ 
rated solution of boric acid or 1 per cent 
solution of hypochlorite of soda. When 
the disease is prevalent in a herd it is 
sometimes best not to let a new-born calf 
take its dam’s milk, but to feed it milk 
from a fresh cow whose calf is not af¬ 
fected. 
2. Shelled corn and digester tankage 
may be fed from a self-feeder, and the 
sows also allowed to eat roots and Al¬ 
falfa hay. If cornmeal has to be used, 
combine it with middlings, bran and a lit¬ 
tle oilmeal. Sows nearing /farrowing, 
however, should not be heavily fed on 
cornmeal. It is important to promote 
muscular condition by exercise, and a re¬ 
laxed condition, rather than tendency to 
constipation. Bran, oilmeal, roots and 
Alfalfa hay are suitable before green 
crop is available.

At a lecture, the speaker orated fer¬ 
vently: “He drove straight to his goal. 
He looked neither to the right nor to the 
left, but pressed forward, moved by a 
definite purpose. Neither friend nor foe 
could delay him, nor tui i him from his 
course. All who crossed his path did 
so at their own peril. What would you 
call such a man?” “A truck driver!” 
shouted a voice from the audience. —

20% Less Butter 
Will Buy a 20% Better 
De Laval 
Present-day purchasers of De Laval 
Cream Separators are getting more 
value than was ever before possible. 
You can now get a new De Laval for 
approximately 20 per cent less butter 
than the same size machine could be 
purchased for ten years ago. 
In addition, the present-day De Laval 
is at least 20 per cent better, having 
10 per cent more capacity, a bell speed- 
indicator, self-centering bowl, and many 
other improvements and refinements. 
Self-Centering Bowl. The De Laval Bowl 
is so designed as to center and balance itself 
when it attains separating speed, which 
causes it to run smoothly, without vibration, 
and adds to the efficiency and life of the 
machine. 
All-Around Superiority. A combination of the fore¬ 
going features, together with superiority of De Laval 
design, workmanship and materials, enables a De 
Laval to separate more thoroughly under all condi¬ 
tions of use, deliver a smoother cream capable of 
making better butter, to separate a richer cream with 
less loss of butter-fat, and to separate with greater 
efficiency at lower temperature, all of which means 
more money and profit for the user. 
Pays for Itself. There are many worn-out 
and inferior cream separators in use today, wasting 
enough cream to pay for a new De Laval in less 
than a year. You can buy a De Laval on such 
easy terms that you can use it while it is paying 
for itself. See your De Laval Agent or send 
coupon for full information. 
The De Laval Milker. If you milk ten or more 
cows a De Laval Milker will soon pay for itself. 
More than 16.000 in use, giving wonderful satis¬ 
faction.
