It’s the few 
Extra 
Pounds 
that bring Profits 
Adding linseed oil meal to each ration costs little, and it brings such 
good gains that you simply cannot afford to miss this source of extra 
profit. Any number of experiments and practical experiences will 
prove it. Consider these brief summaries: 
I 
Showed a profit of 300 per cent when added 
to a ration for cows in a Testing Association 
—Iowa 
Was worth $85 per ton when added to a com 
and tankage ration for pigs—Wisconsin. 
Paid $12.79 per ton profit in fattening baby 
beeves—Minnesota. 
Proved worth $13 per ton more than it cost 
in fattening lambs—Nebraska. 
It’s a rich, highly digestible, and slightly lax¬ 
ative food that raises the value of other feeds 
and keeps all animals in the pink of condition. 
It’s simply a matter of balancing what feeds you now have 
with this additional proteid and conditioner. The balancing 
need notworryyou. It has been all figured out in our book— 
How to Make Money With Linseed” 
By PROF. F. B. MORRISON 
Asst. Director Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station 
and Professor of Animal Husbandry, University of Wisconsin. 
Author, with W. A. Henry, of the Recognized American

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Saddle Sore 
About two weeks ago one of my horses 
contracted a saddle sore, which, though I 
have kept it clean and covered, has grad¬ 
ually got worse, until the place is prac¬ 
tically two inches in diameter. I have 
dressed it every night, but in the morn¬ 
ing, on one or two occasions, the dressing 
has slipped, presumably from rolling, and 
flies have added to the infection. There 
is proud flesh forming, and this I want to 
reduce. I would like to know what dress¬ 
ing is best to apply. e. R. 
Orange Co., N. Y. 
In many instances we find on exam¬ 
ination of a sore such as you describe 
that in its center is a patch of horny skin 
which is practically dead, but which 
strongly adheres to the tissues below. 
This central core may be half an inch 
thick, or more, and is called a “sitfast.” 
When it forms, healing cannot be brought 
about by application of any lotion or 
salve alone. The correct and quickly ef¬ 
fective treatment is at once to dissect 
out and remove the core and then treat 
the wound until it heals. 
The operation may be performed, in 
most eases, with the horse tied in a stall, 
or stocks; but if the animal is at all 
vicious it may be cast, or controlled by 
means of a twitch and sideline. One must 
he careful to keep the horse from injur¬ 
ing his knees by pawing at the manger. 
To prevent undue suffering the veterina¬ 
rian injects a solution of cocaine, eucaine 
or other local anesthetic into the tissues 
around the central core and sore. This is 
done 15 or 20 minutes before using the 
knife. Following the operation give the 
wound a thorough swabbing with tinct¬ 
ure of iodine. 
Afterward it should be wetted three 
or four times daily with a lotion com¬ 
posed of one ounce of acetate of lead, 
six drams of sulphate of zinc and one 
pint of soft water. If flies pester the 
sore, add a teaspoonful of carbolic acid 
to the lotion, or dust the sore with iodo¬ 
form now and then, or apply a mixture of 
one part of oil of eajuput and three parts 
of olive oil. Label the bottle “Poison” 
and shake it well before use. Do not re¬ 
move the scab formed by the applica¬ 
tion of the lotion, as healing goes on un¬ 
der that. The horse cannot he worked 
while the sore is healing unless the har¬ 
ness can be so adjusted tha tit will not 
rub the part. 
If you do not find a “sitfast” present 
the sore may heal in time if you remove 
pressure and rubbing of the saddle and 
apply two or three times daily an oint¬ 
ment composed of one dram of iodoform, 
one dram of tannic acid and one dram of 
boric acid per ounce of unsalted lard or 
lanolin (sheeps’ wool fat). Before giv¬ 
ing the first treatment with this ointment 
it would be well to cleanse the sore and 
swab it once or twice with tincture of 
iodine. In future .when such a sore is 
seen to he starting, remove the cause and 
treat by bathing three times daily with 
hot water; then drying the part and sat¬ 
urating it with peroxide of hydrogen. As 
soon as the inflammation subsides stop 
the bathing and apply benzoated oxide of 
zinc ointment two or three times daily. 
Horse Coughing and Lame 
1. Have a young horse which has had, 
for the past six weeks, a. dry, harsh 
cough, with occasional and slight running 
of the nose. Cause of cough is unknown, 
although it might have resulted from ex¬ 
posure to damp weather. Horse coughs 
when at work and when idle. Have tried 
ginger in feed, blanketing in stable, and 
even a box of “cough medicine” from a 
firm whose other goods usually produce 
results, but all of no avail. _ 2. Same 
horse sprained his rear ankle this Spring. 
It swelled about 50 per cent above nor¬ 
mal. Application of vinegar and salt 
was made, upon which swelling almost 
subsided, and lameness ceased. However, 
at present this same ankle is slightly 
swollen and the horse does not step up 
full on that foot (with no apparent pain 
or lameness), causing the ankle to re¬ 
main bent at the joint just a little. This 
may not be serious, but serious compli¬ 
cations often result from such instances.

teeth put in order by a veterinarian. 
That is necessary, as irregularities and
