LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Loss of Appetite 
I have a horse between the ages 11 
and 13 years, that has. during the last 
two or three weeks refused to eat any 
hay whatever. The hay is good first 
cut Timothy. I have had his teeth filed, 
as I was under the impression that his 
teeth needed looking after but he still 
will not eat any hay, and these last three 
or four days he has not eaten anything 
at all. I feed him corn on the cob three 
times a day. J. T. 
New Jersey. 
When the teeth are out of order it 
sometimes happens that rough dentistry 
aggravates the misery for a time .so that 
appetite is lost, the horse fearing to 
masticate feed. It may be that there is 
a split or diseased molar tooth which 
should have been extracted. Another 
cause of difficulty in mastication, after 
dentistry attention, is filing the grinding 
surface of the molars too smooth and 
when that has been done it is a con¬ 
siderable time before the horse can mas¬ 
ticate well. If the teeth are not the 
cause of the trouble, we should advise 
you to substitute a mixture of crushed 
or whole old oats and one-ninth part of 
wheat bran by measure for the ear coru 
you have been feeding. That may tempt 
the appetite. Also try feeding cut green 
corn, a little at a time at first, or cut 
clover and grass may be tided, provided it 
is not allowed to heat in a heap in the 
stable. 
When such feed does not coax the 
horse to eat we usually try him on ap¬ 
ples, raw potatoes, carrots or parsnips, 
when in season, and in the Spring fresh 
dandelion leaves, freely supplied, are 
sometimes eaten with relish and certainly 
have a desirable medicinal effect. Dan¬ 
delion is taraxacum and that drug is sold 
as a laxative and alterative. Dandelion 
“greens” are also relished by many peo¬ 
ple as a Spriug cleansing medicine. The 
leaves have a similar good effect upon 
the horse. 
When appetite fails and the horse re¬ 
fuses all sorts of feed offered as a change 
and is well supplied with salt, which is 
necessary, we have often found dilute 
acetic acid most useful in stimulating 
appetite. The dose is a tablespoonful 
well diluted with water and in addition' 
may be given 20 drops of fluid extract of 
nux vomica and one dram of fluid ex¬ 
tract of gentian root. Give the acetic 
acid separate, by means of a dose syringe 
or from a bottle. The small doses of 
nux and gentian are readily given, in a 
little water, with a dose syringe. In¬ 
crease the dose of nux a drop every other 
day. if the appetite does not quickly im¬ 
prove. Gentian may be increased a dram 
or two at a dose, if that is found neces¬ 
sary. It is a good bitter tonic and ap¬ 
petizer. Often, however, we have found 
acetic acid alone, in tablespoonful doses 
at first and increased to an ounce or two 
at a dose later, if necessary, effective in 
stimulating appetite. The dose for a cow 
is two ounces of the dilute acid, in water, 
night and morning until appetite is re¬ 
gained. Loss of appetite often is due 
to an attack of some disease. Without 
an examination we cannot assign the 
exact cause. 
Home Canning 
Home Canning of Milk 
You say in your “brevities” “If it were 
possible to can or condense milk over 
the kitchen stove.” etc. I am. a woman 
living alone on a farm, and it is hard 
for me to care for a cow in the W inter. 
Last Winter I canned more than 30 
quarts of milk, of which not one spoiled 
—having the milk cooled, simply pro¬ 
cess for one hour same as in cold pack

On page 1114 you say “If it were pos¬ 
sible to can or condense milk over the 
kitchen stove, the dairy business would 
be well upset.” My belief is it is as well 
upset as it ever will be right now. All 
of us who have been in the dairy busi¬ 
ness the past three years have been 
working for our health. Rut just the 
same it is possible to can milk over the 
kitchen stove, and far easier than to 
can vegetables. 
January 1. 1898. we moved to a farm 
where we did not know that any of the 
cows were giving milk. We had lots of 
milk on the farm we were leaving, and 
I canned a lot of it. and kept some of 
it 10 or 12 weeks, and when opened it 
was as good as any milk. I simply

You cannot go wrong with an 
Embury. There is no other lan¬ 
tern anywhere that gives you 
so much for the money—more 
light, more convenience, better 
and longer service, at the same 
cost as ordinary lanterns. 
Don’t take our word for it, 
but compare the Embury with 
any other lantern and judge for 
yourself. 
No. 160 for $1.50, (except in 
the far west) is a beauty. Bum3 
35 hours, gives 20'S more light, 
and is wind-, dust-, dirt- and
