Who is Going to 
Fill Your Silo? 
Time to be thinking about this! 
Either you will do the job yourself 
—or you will pay someone else a 
profit to do it. Which shall it be ? 
If you had a light-running, roller¬ 
bearing, one-man Rowell Trojan 
Cutter to belt up to your light 
tractor, you could do your own silo 
filling—when your corn is prime for 
cutting and you have the time to 
do the job. You get the best silage at 
the lowest cost. And there’s good profit 
In filling silos for your neighbors, too, 
A Fordson tractor or its equal in power 
handles any of the three sizes of Trojan 
sure-cutting, full- blast silage cutters. 
Capacities: 8 to 17 tons an 
hour. Write for free booklet 
which tells about the many 
exceptional features of these 
cutters.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Tuberculosis of Swine 
Is there such a thing as a pig having 
consumption?* I have a black Berkshire 
that looks fine, eats well and is the boss 
of the pen, but he gets spells of coughing 
several times a day that are quite bad. 
What should I do with him? G. L. w. 
Connecticut. 
We are sorry to say that tuberculosis 
of swine is a very common disease, and, 
like that of cattle, is contagious and in¬ 
curable. Recently it has been proved by 
the research scientists that swine may, 
in some instances, contract the disease 
from poultry which suffer from avian tu- 
burculosis. Hitherto that disease has not 
been considered communicable to cattle, 
swine or other farm animals, but the 
avian tuberculosis bacilli were found in 
some of the affected hogs examined. Now 
that tuberculosis of cattle is being so rap¬ 
idly stamped out by the area test system 
in vogue in many districts, it will be¬ 
come absolutely necessary also to stamp 
out avian tuberculosis if swine, at least, 
onto clean grass pasture. Examine the 
coughing hog’s mouth for any removable 
cause of irritation. 
Fly-bitten Ears 
I have a shepherd dog whose ears are 
badly bitten by flies every Summer. Will 
you advise what I can rub or paint his 
ears with that will not rub off? M. D. 
New Jersey. 
Flies terribly annoy doge, and espe¬ 
cially those having upright or semi-up¬ 
right ears. To help keep flies away, the 
yards should be cleansed and well sprin¬ 
kled with a creosote solution or coal tar 
dip solution. The solution should be 
made by mixing one part of disinfectant 
or dip with 20 parts of water, and then 
be made even stronger if it is seen that 
flies still gather on the contaminated 
ground. 
All droppings should be removed daily 
Five days old! The Pereheron colt, female, by Colin 166024, out of Pentoila s 
Favorite 164611, one of the two brood mares bought in Ohio by the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College last Fall for breeding purposes, is every bit as good a colt as 
her dam is a mare. If you think horses are no longer worth breeding, try to buy a 
good farm team. See what you get and what you must pay. There are still some 
of our readers with a fair amount of pasture land who will find a few good colts 
profitable. 
are to remain unaffected. However, the 
commonest source of tuberculosis in 
swine at present is the milk of tubercu¬ 
lous cows, and allowing hogs to feed after 
affected cattle in the barnyard. 
It will interest you to know that swine 
may be tested with tuberculin to deter¬ 
mine the presence of tuberculosis, as is 
done with suspected cattle. If you have 
any suspicion that your swine are affect¬ 
ed it would be well to have them tested 
by a qualified veterinarian, especially if 
they are purebred, pedigreed aud regis¬ 
tered. Usually, however, the presence of 
the disease is not discovered until the 
animals are marketed and slaughterd, as 
hogs mature youug and are not long kept 
on the farm. For that reason the disease 
may not have time to cause grave dis¬ 
turbance, but it would be sure to do so 
later, if the affected hogs were retained 
for breeding purposes. 
Cough is simply a symptom of irrita¬ 
tion of some part or other of the breath- 
apparatus, and may' even be caused by 
indigestion or intestinal parasites. When 
hogs have grazed old pasture they are 
very commonly infested with lung worms 
and they cause croupy cough and dis¬ 
charge from the nose or mouth, in which 
the eggs of the worms may be found, by 
use of a microscope. There is no quite 
satisfactory remedy for lung worms in 
swine, but if they are found present the 
veterinarian might try injections of a 
chloroform mixture into the windpipe, or 
inhalations of chloroform. Meanwhile, 
sprinkle the floor of the sleeping pen free¬ 
ly with a 7 per cent solution of coal tar 
dip, at night, and cover it with straw 
bedding. The inhaled fumes are obnox¬ 
ious to the worms and so may help the 
hogs to get rid of them. Move all hogs 
and the soiled ground saturated with the 
solution. If you have a permanent yard 
for many dogs it would be a good plan to 
clean it thoroughly and then saturate it 
with the tar used for road surfacing. 
That will keep flies away, but must at 
once be well covered with sand and 
gravel and allowed to set and dry before 
again turning in the dogs. Green grass 
paddocks, to be used in rotation, *are bet¬ 
ter places for dogs, and less likely to be 
badly infested with flies and fleas. 
As to protection of the ears, we have 
found a mixture of one jmrt of oil of ca- 
juput and two parts of sweet oil, applied 
several times daily, very effective in keep¬ 
ing flies off a dog’s ears. It is more 
common practice to apply a mixture of 
oil of tar or oil of pennyroyal and sweet 
oil or vaseline upon the ears, and it will 
do the work fairly well. Some people 
even apply the oils full strength. That 
makes it unnecessary to repeat the treat¬ 
ment so often, but the ears tend to be¬ 
come irritated from the effect of the ap¬ 
plication, so that ^fe flies are the more 
attracted aft^p the repellent evaporates 
or wears oj&. 
When the ears are sore we mix a little 
iodoform powder with benzoated oxide of 
zinc ointment and apply that to the ears 
two or three times daily. Increase the 
amount of iodoform as found necessary to 
keep flies away. The objection to the use 
of iodoform, however, is that the odor is 
so terribly strong, penetrating and last¬ 
ing. Iodoform is not only objectionable 
to flies, but a fine germ killer and healer 
of sores. If the odor makes its use im¬ 
possible, substitute equal quantities of 
calomel and subnitrate of bismuth, and if 
then necessary mix in a little oil of 
pennyroyal or oil of citronella.
