Twenty Years After 
Up to twenty years ago wood construc¬ 
tion prevailed in farm machines, including 
threshers. But wooden threshers, even the 
best, would warp and pull out of shape when 
exposed to the weather and drive belt strains. 
Wood construction and Case quality could 
not live together. In 1904 this Company be¬ 
gan to build steel machines. Good farmers 
quickly saw their advantages. And now we 
have made and sold over 60,000 steel machines. 
Case steel construction, improved 
and refined by twenty years experience , 
offers you these advantages: 
Durability —Most of the first steel machines 
are still in use on their twentieth birthday. 
Great Strength and Rigidity —No twist 
or weave in steel frame from drive belt strain or 
transportation. All working parts held in line. 
Dependability —Case threshers work all day 
Without stops for adjustments or lubrication. 
Large Capacity —Fast threshing and 
thorough cleaning without waste, under widely 
varying conditions of grain and feeding. 
Any good farmer can operate a Case Steel 
Thresher successfully and profitably. Write 
foryourcopy'of “Pro/if By Better Thresh¬ 
ing, ” a helpful booklet for progressive farmers.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Paralysis 
I have a cow which calved March 11. 
She seemed to be well March 14 at night, 
and the next morning she could not raise 
her hind parts. She eats and has no 
fever. F. u. 
New Jersey. 
In some instances milk fever comes on 
as late as you mention, but such attacks 
are comparatively rare and it is the fat. 
sluggish, under-exercised cow that is most 
likely to he attacked. In all cases of 
milk fever, when the cow goes down and 
becomes unconscious, the udder should at 
once be stripped clean, washed, disin¬ 
fected and inflated with air pumped in by 
means of a special apparatus and milking 
tube which should be carefully sterilized 
before use. In the case in question we 
scarcely think that milk fever can have 
caused paralysis. It may be that she 
slipped and injured her back or that a 
hind leg has been fractured by a fall. It 
would therefore be well to make a care¬ 
ful examination. Lay the cow over on 
her side and examine the upper hind leg, 
each joint or having them moved by an 
attendant while the ear is held against 
the muscles of the thigh and hip to note 
if gritting or grating can be heard. Then 
turn the cow and examine the other hind 
leg in the same way. If there is a frac¬ 
ture the cow will have to be put out of 
her misery in a humane manner. In 
some cases the floor of the pelvis is split 
apart at calving time and that may be 
recovered from in time if the cow’s hocks 
are kept together by a buckled strap. 
We think it much more likely, however, 
that the cow is paralyzed from weakness. 
If she is 12 years old or over that is 
more probable, but any cow that has not 
been very well fed may go down after 
calving, as a result of constitutional 
weakness. During the first 10 days after 
calving a cow is particularly liable to 
catch cold, suffer from garget or become 
paralyzed if she is chilled in any way, 
and especially if she is weak. The loehial 
discharge comes away in 10 days, or 
thereabout, and it is until that occurs 
that the cow is most susceptible to sick¬ 
ness. .She should therefore be carefully 
protected during the critical 10 days. If 
the cows is alive and still down give her 
30 drops of fluid extract of nux vomica 
twice daily and increase the dose two 
drops daily until she gets up or some 
alarming symptom appears. At that lat¬ 
ter stage go back to the first dose and 
repeat the treatment. ' Keep her bowels 
active and the udder stripped clean and 
protected from bruising.

Because of modem manufacturing methods. It Is the dollars and 
cents cheaper harness to buy; it Is made from the best tanned steer 
hides; and by hand except where machines do better work, as in stitch¬ 
ing; it combines the best features of many styles of harness and is 
extra heavily reinforced where strains are greatest; It Is easily ad¬ 
justed to any horse in the shortest possible time: wherever you are 
you can see and examine it at your dealers and fit It to your horse. 
It is backed by the strong Gleckner guarantee.

Ridding Hogs of Worms 
Could you inform me what to give 
hogs to get them rid of worms. I have 
some beautiful hogs but when I killed 
some of them this Spring their bowels 
were full of large worms, from 7 to 8 
in. long. L. J. w. 
Maryland. 
Santonin used to be the sovereign 
remedy, combined with calomel, for the 
destruction or expulsion of round worms 
(ascaris) of swine, such as you describe, 
but it is now far too expensive to make 
its use profitable. We now prescribe 
oil of chenopodium, and it is satisfactor¬ 
ily effective. The dose is 30 drops for 
every 50 lbs. of body weight of pig and 
is given in half ounce of castor oil from 
a bottle with a piece of rubber hose at¬ 
tached, or by means of a dose syringe. 
Do not give any pig that is over 50 lbs. 
less than one ounce of castor oil. With¬ 
hold feed for 24 hours before administer¬ 
ing the medicine. The treatment be re¬ 
peated in two weeks, if seen to be nec¬ 
essary. This is far better than to give 
turpentine, lye or copperas to expel or 
destroy worms. We have to advise you, 
however, that far more important than 
the destruction of worms is their preven¬ 
tion. That can be successfully accom¬ 
plished by a proper system of manage¬ 
ment. as follows: Have each sow farrow 
in a cleansed, disinfected and white¬ 
washed pen. Before letting her pigs 
nurse, wash the udder and teats clean, 
that also having been done before far¬ 
rowing. Also syringe out the sews 
genitals with lukewarm water tinged
