But  remember  that  no  milk  strainer 
is  of  any  use  unless  it  removes  all 
sediment.  Only  our  Dr.  Clark  Purity 
Milk  Strainer  will  remove  every  last 
bit  of  sediment  from  the  milk — no 
other  strainer  will.  We  guarantee 
it — now  make  us  prove  it. 
Try  this  test:  strain  milk  through  as 
many  cloths  and  wire  gauze  strainers 
as  you  wish.  Then  strain  it  through 
the  Dr.  Clark,  and  note  the  dirt  it 
takes  out  which  the  others  leave  in.

Mare  Has  Fits 
I  have  a  mare  eight  years  old  weighing 
about  1,200  lbs.  She  is  in  good  condition 
and  an  ideal  worker.  I  have  had  her 
only  for  six  weeks.  Last  Monday  while 
she  was  in  the  pasture  I  noticed  she  went 
around  in  a  circle  as  if  she  were  dizzy ; 
finally  she  lifted  her  front  feet  and  fell 
on  her  hindquarters  and  spread  out  her 
feet.  Shortly  after  she  got  up  thick 
saliva  came  from  her  mouth.  I  rushed 
over  to  lead  her  in  but  she  did  not  want 
to  go,  and  was  shivering.  I  got  her  in 
the  barnyard  where  she  stood  dozing. 
New  York.  H.  II. 
It  is  to  be  suspected  that  you  have 
bought  a  mare  that  has  been  subject  to 
epileptic  fits,  sometimes  termed  “meg¬ 
rims”  or  “blind  staggers”  and  associated 
with  or  due  to  disease  of  the  heart  or 
brain.  If  that  is  the  case  the  disease  is 
probably  incurable  and  such  a  mare 
should  not  be  used  on  the  family  car¬ 
riage  or  for  riding.  We  notice,  however, 
that  you  have  been  feeding  ground  corn 
and  ground  oats,  a  mixture  which  would 
be  about  certain  to  cause  indigestion  in 
a  horse  not  accustomed  to  such  feed,  and 
indigestion  always  is  liable  to  bring  on 
a  fit  in  a  horse  subject  thereto  or  may 
induce  stomach  staggers,  dizziness  or 
vertigo  in  a  horse  that  never  has  had  a 
fit.  Working  a  susceptible  horse  in  a 
tight  collar,  and  especially  when  the 
animal  lias  a  thick  neck  and  coarse  throat 
latch  is  also  a  fertile  cause  of  falling  or 
fainting  spells.  In  the  circumstances  we 
should  advise  you  to  clip  the  mare  and 
then  work  her  in  the  cool  of  the  morn¬ 
ing  and  not  between  two  other  horses. 
Try  working  her  in  a  strong  breast  col¬ 
lar  instead  of  an  ordinary  neck  collar. 
Keep  her  off  pasture  in  the  heat  of  the 
day,  unless  it  is  well  shaded  with  trees 
and  water  is  available  at  all  times.  Take 
drinking  water  to  the  field  and  allow 
some  of  it  at  short  intervals  during  work 
hours.  A  horse  needs  water  at  such 
times  more  than  does  its  master.  Feed 
a  mixture  of  whole  or  crushed  oats  and 
one-ninth  part  of  wheat  bran,  by  weight. 
Allow  of  this  one  pound  for  each  100 
lbs.  of  body  weight,  in  three  feeds,  as  a 
day’s  ration.  Allow  a  similar  amount  of 
hay,  hut  feed  most  of  it  at  night,  some 
of  it  the  first  thing  in  the  morning  and 
only  a  pound  of  it,  or  two,  at  noon,  when 
the  mare  is  cooling  and  resting  after 
hard  work.  So  far  as  possible  give  the 
drinking  water  after  meal,  unless  it  is 
available  practically  at  all  times.  Let 
the  mare  lick  rock  salt  or  block  salt  at 
will.  Place  a  lump  of  it  in  the  manger, 
for  that  purpose.  At  all  times  keep  e 
bowels  active.  Do  not  work  the  mare 
in  the  sun  when  her  bowels  are  deranged, 
as  indicated  by  diarrhoea,  constipation 
or  foul  odor  of  feces.  Shade  her  head 
and  lightly  sheet  her  body  when  at  work. 
If  a  fit  occurs  instantly  remove  the  col¬ 
lar  and  dash  cold  water  upon  her  head. 
On  recovery  give  her  a  pint  of  raw  lin¬ 
seed  oil  at  one  dose.  In  severe  attacks 
give  one  ounce  of  bromide  of  potash  in 
water  and  half  that  quantity  in  half  'o 
one  hour,  if  needed.

each  time.  If  fleas  or  lice  are  present 
they  will  be  killed  by  the  dipping  and 
that  may  be  repeated  in  10  days,  if  seen 
to  be  necessary.  If  fleas  attack  the  af¬ 
fected  parts  or  the  spots  about  the  eyes 
or  on  the  ears  apply  a  little  of  a  mixture 
of  one  part  oil  of  cajuput,  two  parts 
sweet  oil.  As  well  as  giving  the  external 
treatment  keep  the  dog  out  of  sandy 
places  where  fleas  abound  and  out  of 
weed  patches  or  a  straw  or  hay  stack 
bottom  where  irritating  beards  from 
grass  or  burs  may  be  acquired.  Do  not 
feed  cornmeal  as  that  tends  to  cause 
eruptions  of  the  skin,  and  also  avoid  the 
feeding  of  pork,  potatoes,  sweets  or  dain¬ 
ties  of  any  kind.  The  dog  may,  how¬ 
ever,  have  raw  and  cooked  beef  or  mut¬ 
ton,  raw  beef  bones,  and  thick  vege¬ 
table  soup  poured  upon  stale  bread,  as 
well  as  some  milk.  .  Dog  biscuit  is  also 
suitable  feed.  In  hot  weather  one  small 
meal  each  evening  may  suffice,  but  one 
generally  feeds  in  addition  a  very  small 
breakfast.  Keep  the  dog  supplied  with 
fresh  drinking  water  and  make  him  take 
active  exercise  every  day.  He  should  he 
kept  from  eating  garbage  or  carrion  of 
any  kind. 
Skin  Disease  of  Dog 
Could  you  tell  me  how  to  treat  my 
dog.  He  has  something  like  mange.  It 
broke  out  over  his  eye  first  and  now 
there  are  several  small  places  which  he 
scratches  almost  continually.  He  is  a 
Fox  Shepherd  dog,  only  three  years  old 
and  has  been  clipped  each  Summer. 
Tennessee.  E.  H.  g. 
While  it  is  possible  that  the  spots  have 
been  caused  by  irritation  of  flies  or  fleas 
or  may  be  the  evidence  of  eczema  which 
is  not  contagious  it  is  best  in  such  cases 
to  give  treatment  which  will  be  effectual 
for  parasitic  mange  if  it  happens  to  be 
present.  Shave  the  hair  from  the  affected 
spots  and  then  tub  the  dog  in  a  bath  of 
coal  tar  dip  solution  made  according  to 
instructions  given  on  the  label  of  the 
container.  When  the  dog  is  in  the  hath 
scrub  the  spots  with  a  hard  brush,  ex¬ 
cept  the  one  over  the  eye,  and  when  the 
skin  dries  rub  in  a  little  of  the  following 
mixture :  four  ounces  oil  tar,  two  drams 
coal  tar  dip,  four  ounces  flowers  of  slu- 
phur,  one  pound  melted  unsalted  lard. 
Mix  and  apply  at  intervals  of  three  days. 
Do  not  cover  more  than  one-third  of  the 
body  with  this  or  any  oily  or  greasy  mix¬ 
ture  at  one  time.  Treat  a  different  part 
Cow-pox 
What  would  you  suggest  to  do  for 
small  lumps  on  cows’  teats?  They  have 
just  come  there.  They  look  red  and  feel 
a  little  lumpy.  She  never  had  anything 
like  it  before.  T.  F.  K. 
New  Jersey. 
We  suspect  that  the  disease  is  cowpox 
which  is  caused  by  a  virus  which  cannot 
be  detected  by  the  strongest  microscope 
and  passes  through  a  porcelain  filter.  The 
organism  is  therefore  termed  an  ultra 
microscopic  filterable  virus.  The  disease 
has  to  run  its  course,  as  does  smallpox  of 
man,  but  it  may  he  prevented  from 
spreading  from  cow  to  cow  or  doing 
much  damage  to  the  udder.  Isolate  an 
affected  cow  and  have  the  animal  milked 
by  one  who  does  not  attend  to  the  other 
cows,  or  at  least  have  the  cow  milked 
last.  .  Cleanse,  disinfect  and  whitewash 
the  stall  she  has  occupied,  including  the 
floor  and  gutter.  As  a  disinfectant  use 
a  mixture  of  one  part  of  compound  cre- 
sol  solution  and  30  parts  of  water  or  one 
part  of  coal  tar  disinfectant  and  20  parts 
of  water.  Add  one  pound  of  fresh  chlo¬ 
ride  of  lime  to  each  three  gallons  of 
freshly  made  limewash.  Flood  the  floor 
and  gutter  with  it  when  other  parts  of 
the  stall  have  been  treated.  Treat  the 
entire  stable,  if  the  disease  has  been 
widespread.  Treat  an  affected  cow  by 
bathing  udder  and  teats  twice  daily  with 
hot  water  containing  all  the  boric  acid  it 
will  dissolve,  or  with  a  hot  l-to-1,000 
solution  of  chinosol.  Then  dry  the  teats 
and  apply  a  solution  of  all  the  perman¬ 
ganate  of  potash  hot  water  will  dissolve. 
The  important  matter  is  to  keep  the  sores 
from  becoming  infected  by  filth  germs. 
When  such  infection  occurs  the  sores 
may  fail  to  heal  for  weeks  and  in  some 
instances  ruinous  garget  results.  The 
worst  germ  is  the  Bacillus  necrophorus. 
which  is  also  the  cause  of  canker  sores 
in  the  mouths  of  pigs  and  other  young 
animals.  If  any  sore  is  tardy  in  healing 
apply  strong  iodine  ointment  once  or 
twice  daily,  as  found  necessary.  If  a 
necrotic  sore  starts,  and  is  seen  to  con¬ 
tain  dead  or  diseased  tissue,  that  should 
be  scraped  away  and  the  wound  then 
saturated  with  tincture  of  iodine  or  light¬ 
ly  cauterized  by  rubbing  with  a  lunar 
caustic  pencil.  If  the  teats  are  so  much 
inflamed  and  swollen  that  a  milking 
tube  has  to  be  used  to  draw  off  the  milk, 
be  careful  to  cleanse  the  tube  and  steri¬ 
lize  it  by  boiling  for  15  minutes  or  more, 
and  to  smear  it  with  carbolized  oil  or 
vaseline,  each  time  before  insertion  in 
the  teat.  If  this  is  not  done  disastrous 
mammitis  (garget)  will  be  sure  to  re¬ 
sult  in  time.  It  may  be  added,  as  a  mat¬ 
ter  of  interest,  that  cowpox  may  affect 
the  milker’s  hands  but  when  that  occurs 
the  person  is  immunized  against  sma  11- 
pox  as  when  purposely  vaccinated  against 
that  disease.
