ANOTHER  AMERICAN  FARMER’S  VERDICT 
“Not  5  Minutes  Delay  In  4  Years” 
ONE  thing  the  OilPull  owner  is  sure  of — that  his 
tractor  will  keep  going  fair  weather  or  foul.  Ed. 
Todd,  a  Middle  West  Engineer-Farmer,  in  the  third 
paragraph  of  a  recent  letter  says: 
“I  have  used  other  tractors  but  the  OilPull  is  the 
best  I  have  tried.  It  runs  on  less  fuel  and  has  less 
repairs.  We  have  used  this  OilPull  four  seasons 
and  have  never  been  delayed  five  minutes.  Our 
repair  bills  have  been  less  than  three  dollars.” 
And  Mr.  Todd  is  one  of  many  in  every  section  who 
praise  this  low  cost  reliability  in  letters  they  write  us. 
OILPULL 
“The  Cheapest  Farm  Power” 
For  years  we  have  sponsored  the  quality  tractor  built  to  high 
mechanical  standards.  We  have  told  you  that  economy  is  really 
a  matter  of  careful  building,  which  insures  dependability,  low  fuel 
cost,  low  upkeep  cost  and  long  life.  We  have  pointed  out  how 
Triple  Heat  Control,  Dual  Lubrication,  and  other  OilPull  features 
combined  with  finest  materials  and  highest  standards  of  manufac¬ 
ture  produce  "The  Cheapest  Farm  Power.”  Now  we  want  you  to 
get  the  farmer’s  viewpoint  to  know  what  OILPULL  owners  are 
experiencing  every  day.

Ailing  Animals 
By  Dr.  A.  S.  Alexander 
Injured  Teat 
One  of  my  cows  has  skinned  the  end  of 
her  teat — taken  all  the  skin  off  for  a 
space  of  about  half  an  inch.  Fortunately 
she  is  dry,  but  is  due  to  freshen  in  a  week 
or  10  days.  It  is  a  smooth  wound,  with¬ 
out  any  ragged  edges,  and  is  healing  nat¬ 
urally.  I  put  vaseline  on  it  night  and 
morning,  but  my  fear  is  that  in  the 
process  of  healing  the  hole  in  the  end  of 
the  teat  will  be  closed  up.  In  case  there 
is  really  this  danger,  will  you  let  me  know 
how  to  care  for  the  wound?  E.  C. 
When  such  an  in-jury  happens,  or  the 
teat  is  severely  cut  in  any  way,  always 
soak  it  in  hot  water  containing  all  the 
boric  acid  it  will  dissolve,  or  in  a  hot 
l-to-1,000  solution  of  chinosol.  It  should 
be  immersed  for  at  least  five  minutes,  and 
at  that  time  one  should  remove  every 
particle  of  grit,  earth,  manure  or  other 
foreign  substances  and  cut  off  any  shreds 
of  skin  or  flesh  that  may  be  present. 
After  the  immersion  dry  the  teat  gently 
and  apply  benzoated  oxide  of  zinc  oint- 
Tnent  mixed  with  an  equal  quantity  of 
carbolized  vaseline  and  adding  one  dram 
of  subnitrate  of  bismuth  per  ounce  of  the 
mixture.  We  have  found  this  a  very  fine 
healing  salve  for  cut  and  sore  teats.  If 
the  wound  becomes  inflamed,  cleanse  the 
part  and  immerse  as  before ;  then  stop 
using  ointment  and  apply  a  mixture  of 
one  part  tincture  of  benzoin  and  three 
parts  of  glycerine,  twice  a  day.  In  a 
case  such  as  you  describe  there  is  great 
danger  of  stricture  resulting  from  the 
healing  of  the  wound.  To  avoid  that  a 
stream  of  milk  should  be  stripped  away 
frequently,  if  the  cow  is  giving  milk,  or 
a  lead  dilator  or  self-retaining  teat  plug 
of  metal  or  hard  rubber  should  be  in¬ 
serted  in  the  duct  of  the  teat  between 
milkings.  A  suitable  plug  or  dilator 
easily  may  be  whittled  from  a  piece  of 
flattened  lead  pipe.  Flatten  one  end, 
puncture  it  with  a  hole  for  a  tape,  cut 
the  other  end  in  the  shape  of  a  probe,  in¬ 
sert  that  in  the  teat,  and  then  bend  up 
the  flattened  part  alongside  the  teat  and 
tie  the  tape  around  the  teat  to  keep  the 
probe  in  place.  Some  dairymen  prefer 
to  insert  in  the  teat  duct  a  clean,  new 
clove,  or  two  or  three  short  strands  of 
shoemakers’  "points”  or  stitching  thread. 
It  is  well  to  smear  a  little  carbolized 
vaseline  on  any  probe  or  plug  that  is  in¬ 
serted  in  the  teat,  as  otherwise  it  is  an 
easy  matter  to  set  up  disastrous  infec¬ 
tion.  Should  a  stricture  result,  despite 
preventive  treatment,  it  should  be  slit 
through  in  four  different  directions  when 
the  cow  freshens,  so  that  milking  may 
readily  be  done.  Then  a  stream  of  milk 
frequently  should  be  stripped  away  to 
prevent  too  quick  healing  from  closing 
the  duct. 
Worms  of  Ewes 
I  would  like  to  know  what  would  be 
good  to  give  ewes  with  lamb  for  stomach 
worms.  w.  t.  h. 
It  scarcely  is  safe  to  give  strong  medi¬ 
cine  to  the  ewes,  as  it  might  induce  abor¬ 
tion.  In  the  management  of  sheep  it  is 
better  to  treat  for  stomach  worms  just  be¬ 
fore  the  mating  season,  in  October,  or 
thereabouts.  The  ewes  will  then  be 
healthier  themselves,  apd  besides  that, 
will  not  be  “carriers”  of  worms  which 
are  passed  out  of  the  body  on  grass  in 
Spring,  so  that  the  pastures  become  con¬ 
taminated  for  lambs.  The  best  treatment, 
to  date,  for  stomach  worms,  is  a  1  per 
cent  solution  of  sulphate  of  copper  with 
the  addition  of  a  1  per  cent  solution  or 
decoction  of  tobacco.  It  is  made  as  fol¬ 
lows:  Dissolve  four  ounces  of  pure  sul¬ 
phate  of  copper  (bluestone)  in  half  a 
gallon  of  boiling  water.  Steep  four  ounces 
of  tobacco  snuff  or  powdered  tobacco 
leaves  overnight  in  half  a  gallon  of  boil¬ 
ing  water.  In  the  morning  mix  these 
two  solutions  together  and  then  add  two 
gallons  of  cold  water.  The  dose  of  the 
mixture  is  1%  ounces  for  a  lamb  under 
one  year,  and  3 ounces  for  a  sheep  over 
one  year.  Withhold  feed  for  24  hours 
before  giving  the  medicine.  Administer  it 
with  the  sheep  standing  on  all  fours. 
For  the  purpose  use  a  hard  rubber  or 
metal  dose  syringe,  or  a  small  rubber 
tube  having  a  nozzle  fitted  into  one  end 
and  a  glass  funnel  in  the  other  end. 
Measure  each  dose  of  the  mixture  in  a 
glass  graduate  and  give  it  slowly  and 
carefully,  that  none  of  it  may  get  into 
the  windpipe  and  lungs.  Repeat  the 
treatment  in  two  weeks.  It  is  well  to 
give  this  treatment  to  lambs  during  the 
dry  time  of  Summer  and  again  before 
putting  them  into  Winter  quarters,  the 
ewes  also  to  be  treated  as  already  ad¬ 
vised.  Unless  the  ewes  are  evidently  suf¬ 
fering  on  account  of  stomach  worms,  we 
should  not  risk  the  danger  of  giving  the 
medicine  now,  but  would  feed  generously 
and  let  the  ewes  have  free  access  to  the 
following  lick,  placed  in  a  'box  so  cov¬ 
ered  that  the  mixture  will  not  be  wetted 
by  rain  :  Salt,  2S0  parts ;  dried  sulphate 
of  iron  (powdered  copperas),  16  parts; 
powdered  wood  charcoal,  12  parts ;  flow¬ 
ers  of  sulphur,  eight  parts.  It  is  especial¬ 
ly  important  to  feed  ewes  in  lamb  clover 
or  Alfalfa  hay  and  2  lbs.  daily  of  roots 
or  sound  corn  silage,  to  keep  the  bowels 
regulated,  and  also  to  enforce  daily  out¬ 
door  exerdisew  Lack  of  exercise  and 
constipating  roughage,  such  as  Timothy 
hay.  straw  and  weathered  corn  stover, 
may  do  more  harm  than  the  worms.
