MORE MILK 
Good Health, good appetite and good digestion 
are the essentials of a good milker. 
Every cow in your herd can be put in milking 
trim with a course of 
Dr.Hess Stock Tonic 
A Cow Tonic and Regulator 
Your cow is a machine. To convert your grain, 
hay, silage and fodder into pails of milk is her 
function. The more she eats each day, if she is 
able to digest it, the more milk you get. 
Dr. Hess Stock Tonic contains the dairyman’s 
favorite remedy, Nux Vomica—the greatest of 
all nerve tonics—cow remedy, appetizer and di¬ 
gester. It contains Quassia, a stomach tonic; 
whets the appetite, promotes digestion. It con¬ 
tains Diuretics, to keep the kidneys active. It 
contains Laxatives, to keep the bowels regular, so 
that there is no clogging of the system during 
heavy feeding. 
Just regular milk giving where Dr. Hess Stock 
Tonic is included in the ration. 
Excellent for cows at calving time. No retained 
afterbirth. Feed it before freshing. Good alike 
for all cattle. 
Buy it by Costs Little to Use

Horse Coughing and Lame 
(Continued from page 1388) 
the lining of the mouth that cough re¬ 
sults. Teething is another cause, and if 
the horse in question is quite young the 
veterinarian may find it necessary to re¬ 
move lodged crown or shells from pre¬ 
molar teeth, lance gums over incoming 
teeth, or file sharp points smooth. There 
are so many different cause of cough, 
which is simply an indication of irrita¬ 
tion, that an examination would be nec¬ 
essary to determine the exact cause. 
Worms are a possible cause. If there 
is a fur or scaly substance about the 
anus, withhold feed for 36 hours and 
then have the veterinarian administer 
four or five drams of oil of chenopodium 
in a gelatin capsule and follow immedi¬ 
ately with a quart of raw linseed oil. 
Those are the doses for an adult horse. 
Colts take less amounts, according to age 
and size. If no such causes are found, 
mix in each feed a teaspoon of a mixture 
of equal quantities (by weight) of pow¬ 
dered stramonium leaves and chlorid of 
ammonia. This mixture is especially 
beneficial when symptoms of heayes 
(emphysema of the lungs) are seen, such 
as a double bellows-like action of the 
flanks and expulsion of gas from the rec¬ 
tum during spells of coughing. It also 
seems most helpful when the breathing 
is bad, in damp, muggy weather. Wet 
all feed with limewater. Allow' access 
to rock or block salt, and in Summer let 
the mare graze, instead of feeding hay. 
2. Have the hoof leveled and the toe 
shortened ; then have the smith put on a 
shoe that has small heels but no toe 
calkins. Higher heels may be tried at 
the next shoeing time if the short ones 
did not help. In addition hand rub the 
joint each time the horse comes into the 
stable, and then wrap the fetlock with 
cotton batting and bandage snugly with 
flannel or a Derby bandage. In the 
evening apply compound soap liniment, 
alcohol and extract of witch hazel, equal 
parts, to the knuckling joint, and when 
dry, put on the cotton and bandages. If 
such treatment does not suffice, after a 
thorough trial, we should advise clipping 
the hair from the joint and back tendons 
and blistering with a mixture of one 
dram each of pow'dered cantharides and 
biniodide of mercury and 1)4 ounces of 
lard, rubbed in for 15 minutes after 
clipping off the hair. Tie the horse short 
for 48 hours, then wash off the blister 
and apply a little lard daily.

Poultry and Cow Questions 
How old must Pekin ducks be before 
one may expect them to lay hatehable 
eggs? is late September molting consid¬ 
ered too early for poultry profit ? Would 
September molters be all right to hatch 
from'next March or April? Are Holstein 
cows going to have to take a back seat 
because of butterfat? Or are they and 
their milk well enough advertised that 
we who own them may continue to ex¬ 
pect a profit when milk prices are sta¬ 
bilized? j. w. A. 
Pennsylvania. 
Ducks may be expected to lay after 
reaching an age of five months. Late 
September molting hens are suitable to 
use as breeders, though the best layers 
may carry their plumage into November. 
I do not think that you need to fear 
that Holsteins may have to take a back 
seat for any other breed. They are pre¬ 
eminently the breed for large production 
of milk of medium richness in butterfat, 
just as the Island breeds excel in pro¬ 
duction of large quantities of butterfat 
in smaller quantities of milk. Each breed 
has its advantages and its place in the 
dairy world and no one need become ner¬ 
vous because an exceptional animal in 
some other breed than his own takes an 
occasional championship away from his 
favorites. Each breed has its well fixed 
characteristics. The dairyman should de¬ 
cide which best suit his purpose and then 
keep the breed possessing them. Gener¬ 
ally speaking, it is best to keep the breed 
which predominates in the locality, both 
as a matter of convenience and profit in 
breeding and selling, and because there is 
an unconscious drift among farmers to¬ 
ward the most profitable crops, animal or 
field, under conditions which prevail where 
they are. I fear that we shall never see 
the time when milk, or any other perish¬ 
able crop, is stabilized in either produc¬ 
tion or price, unless you want to insist 
upon the indefensible pun that milk is 
necessarily a stable product. If the vio¬ 
lent fluctuations due to artificial condi¬ 
tions can be eliminated, we shall probab¬ 
ly have to be satisfied. M. B. D.
