Praising  OilPull  Dependability 
The  big  outstanding  OilPull  trait  is  dependability.  And  this 
is  a  trait  that  is  desirable  in  any  section  and  under  any  con¬ 
ditions.  A  tractor  must  be  dependable.  It  must  start  easily 
in  hot  or  cold  weather.  It  must  keep  going  day  after  day  and 
year  after  year.  Dependability  is  worth  everything  at  plowing 
and  harvest  time.  According  to  thousands  of  farmers  whose 
letters  reach  us,  the  OilPull  is  absolutely  dependable. 
OILPULL 
The  Cheapest  Farm  Power 
Thousands  of  letters  come  into  this  office.  North,  South,  East, 
West — all  sections  and  all  farming  conditions  are  represented. 
They  express  the  American  Farmers’  verdict  on  the  OilPull. 
Dependability  is  only  one  feature  they  discuss.  In  all  of  them 
are  mentioned  the  wonderful  fuel  economy,  remarkably  low 
repair  expense,  long  life.  And  these  are  farmers  who  know 
the  OilPull — who  use  it  day  after  day  and  year  after  year. 
Their  recommendation  is  better  than  any  story  we  can  tell. 
They  prove  that  OilPull  is  built  right — that  Triple  Heat  Con¬ 
trol,  dual  lubrication  and  other  OilPull  features  combined  with 
the  strict  manufacturing  principles  of  the  OilPull  produce  a 
tractor  that  makes  money  for  the  farmer.

AILING  ANIMALS 
Answered  by  Dr.  A.  S.  Alexander 
Blind  Quarter  of  Udder 
About  a  month  ago  my  cow  freshened. 
Since  then  has  been  milking  from  three 
teats  only.  Can  she  be  cored  of  this,  ox- 
have  I  waited  too  long  to  remedy  the 
case?  d.  F.  W. 
It  will  be  too  late  now  to  remedy  the 
condition  described.  When  there  is  merely 
a  stoppage  of  the  duct  of  the  teat  at  calv¬ 
ing  time,  caused  by  a  previous  slight  in¬ 
fection  of  the  lining  membrane  of  the 
duct  or  soreness  of  the  tip  of  the  teat 
it  sometimes  is  possible  to  remove  this 
obstacle.  That  is  accomplished  by  im¬ 
mersing  the  teat  in  hot  water  containing 
all  the  boric  acid  it  will  dissolve  or  in  a 
l-to-1.000  solution  of  cliinosol,  to  prevent 
infection,  and  then  passing  into  the  teat 
a  sterilized  probe  or  even  a  sterilized 
milking  tube.  If  it  is  a  fii-st  “freshening” 
the  orifice  of  the  teat  may  have  no  open¬ 
ing,  and  an  artificial  one  has  to  be  cut ; 
then  a  sterilized  teat  plug  or  leaden  di¬ 
lator  or  probe  is  left  in  the  duct  between 
milkings,  during  the  healing  process,  so 
that  the  wound  may  not  form  a  stricture 
in  closing.  In  many  cases,  however,  the 
obstacle  is  a  simple  collection  of  dried 
catarrhal  substances,  and  may  easily  be 
removed.  When  garget  has  been  the  cause, 
the  attack  often  occurring  at  weaning  or 
drying  off  time  and  being  unnoticed,  it 
rarely  pays  to  attempt  opening  up  and 
milking  that  quarter.  Doing  so  is  almost 
invariably  followed  by  an  acute  destruc¬ 
tive  attack  of  mammitis  (garget),  which 
may  spread  to  the  sound  quarters.  In 
probably  a  majority  of  simple  cases  it  is 
best  to  let  the  condition  alone  and  milk 
the  cowr  as  a  “three-teater,”  or  let  a  calf 
suck.  When  garget  is  the  cause  it  is 
better  still  to  isolate  the  cow,  dry  off  the 
milk  secretion  in  the  sound  quarters  as 
soon  as  that  diminishes  and  then  fit  the 
cow  for  the  butcher,  or  she  may  be  al¬ 
lowed  to  raise  a  calf  if  very  valuable  on 
account  of  superior  pedigree  and  inher¬ 
itance  of  deep-milking  capacity.  If  you 
find  on  stripping  the  teat  in  question  that 
a  little  abnormal  fluid  or  pus  exudes, 
isolate  the  cow  at  ouee  and  dispose  of 
her  in  one  or  other  of  the  ways  mentioned. 
The  “three-teat”  cow  is  very  often  a 
terrible  menace  to  the  other  cows,  in  that 
her  unsound  quarter,  stripped  at  milking 
times,  yields  a  little  fluid  containing  the 
germs  of  purulent  (streptococcic)  'mam¬ 
mitis,  and  the  infection  is  readily  carried 
from  cow  to  cow  by  the  milker’s  hands  or 
cups  of  the  nlilking  machine.  The  disease 
may  also  be  contracted  from  the  teats 
coming  in  contact  with  floors  or  ground 
contaminated  with  the  fluid  from  the  af¬ 
fected  quarter,  and  sometimes  the  appar¬ 
ently  sound  milk  from  the  other  quarters 
also  contains  the  germs. 
Lump  Jaw  Not  Hereditary 
Is  lump  jaw  hereditary?  I  have  two 
calves,  two  and  three  weeks  old.  which 
I  would  like  to  raise,  but  am  told  that 
is  a  drawback.  c.  T. 
New  York. 
Lump  jaw  is  not  a  hereditary  disease, 
nor  is  it  directly  contagious  or  “catching.’- 
It  is  caused  by  the  invasion  of  a  punc- 
tux-ed  wound,  lacteration  or  abrasion  of  the 
skin  or  mucous  membrane  lining  the 
mouth  by  the  “ray  fungus”  (aetinomyces) . 
The  disease  technically  is  termed  actin¬ 
omycosis.  from  the  fungus  mentioned. 
In  probably  a  majority  of  cases  the  dis¬ 
ease  is  caused  by  the  beards  or  awns  of 
barley,  rye,  wheat  or  wild  grasses,  or 
the  hulls  of  straw  of  grains,  and  possibly 
the  stalks  of  fodders  carrying  the  infective 
spores  of  the  fungus  into  the  tissues. 
When  pus  flows  fi-om  an  affected  tumor 
or  abscess,  caused  by  the  fungus,  it  con¬ 
tains  canary-yellow,  gritty  particles  which 
contain  spores,  and  these  getting  onto 
grass,  grain,  etc.,  in  time  reinfect  ani¬ 
mals  when  wounds  occux-.  For  that  reason 
an  animal  that  has  a  discharging  actin¬ 
omycotic  sore  or  abscess  should  not  graze 
with  sound  cattle,  and  had  better  be  kept 
isolated.  As  some  of  the  pus  may  also 
get  into  milk  and  contaminate  it,  a  cow 
affected  with  a  discharging  disease  center 
should  not  be  used  for  milk  production. 
It  may  he  added  that  the  meat  of  an  af¬ 
fected  animal  is  fit  for  use  if  slaughtering 
is  done  before  emaciation  is  caused  or 
pus  forms,  and  while  the  animal  is  other¬ 
wise  in  good  health  and  eating  well.  The 
same  is  true  of  milk.  It  is  usual,  how¬ 
ever,  to  market  a  lump-jaw  animal.  On 
arrival  it  is  detected  under  veterinary 
inspection.  Later  is  is  killed  under  such 
inspection  and  the  meat  is  allowed  upon 
the  mai-ket  if  considei-ed  fit  for  human 
use.  Otherwise  it  goes  to  the  fertilizer 
department  and  is  “tanked.”  The  meat 
is  rejected  when  the  animal  is  einaciated. 
badly  infected  or  showing  internal  lesions 
of  the  disease.  If  your  calves  were  the 
offspring  of  a  cow  affected  with,  actin¬ 
omycosis,  they  may  safely  be  raised.  If 
they  have  lumps  on  their  jaws,  the  dis¬ 
ease  is  not  likely  to  be  antinomycosis, 
but  the  swellings  more  likely  were  caused 
by  bruising,  or  if  the  enlargements  are 
about  the  throat,  goiter  may  be  present. 
We  cannot  decide  that,  however,  without 
making  a  personal  examination. 
Clean  Milk 
at  Lowest  Cost 
Hundreds  of  Hinman  Milker 
users  are  producers  of  cer¬ 
tified  milk.  They  get  extra 
money  for  extra  low  bac¬ 
teria  count. 
Clean  milk  with  a  Hinman 
Milker  is  natural,  because 
the  Hinman  is  so  simple  it 
is  easy  to  keep  clean. 
Hinman  Milkers  cost  less 
to  buy,  next  to  nothing  to 
keep  in  repair,  and  very  lit¬ 
tle  to  keep  clean.  They  cut 
milking  time  to  one -third, 
reduce  labor  to  one -third 
of  that  required  by  hand 
milking. 
Get  the  Hinman  Catalog, 
which  shows  why  the  Hinman 
is  the  most  practical  milker 
that  produces  clean  milk  and 
is  in  use  in  most  of  the  fa¬ 
mous  dairies  of  prize  cows.
