we are not enabled, from the description
yi,ep of the symptoms, to more than sus-
pcst that these cattle died OF uyseh'ery'
caused probably by unwnolesome toou. We
are not prepared to prescribe a spec"Io
treatment unless we were more cohhuen'.
W. VvoIld advise giving each SICK animal
onc Mound of EPSON salts in four quarts OF
tepij water to which add gradually
drnchms of sulphuric acid GIVE inns a.
one dose at an early stage OF the dlsease'
Give soft and easily digesuble ioou' CON

Allen Gault, Oconee County, South caro-
lina-I have a COW that died with overflow
of the gall and great many one mere t Wiz
the same disease. Please tell me through
The Constitution what is the cause OF IL
and what is the remedy.
We are in doubt as to what disease IS
4 htg rnl a
never heard Of such disease by such
name Possibly our correspondent means
the disease called red water bloody
urine ''haematuria." or it may be that II
is genuine southern cattle Fever, or
Texas cattle fever" Please give the
symptoms so that we may be enabled to
determine what il is.
J. Y. Henry. Fay. Gal have horse
about nine years old. lie has what are
called blood warts ON him. II you can
please toll me through The Constitution
what will take them OF.
There are several ways to remove warts:
When the wart is pendalous 1t may be
strangulated by tieing small but smooth
string or cord. like fishing line, around
the wart as close as possible to it's point OF
attachment Tighten the cord little every
dav or two until thc wart drops of. But
some warts Canno. De tied IN this way IN
! such cases burn down the wart with pow
dered blue stone. or you may shave oil the
( surface until il hlecds freely and then touch
+ lightly with a few drops OF nitric acid Then
grease the sore thus made every day. some
/ times il is convenient 10 burn the warty
I surface down To level by means Of dun,
/ rDd-hot iron, such as a timers soldering
/ tool.
& Han. Amory. Miss What is the
/ chcapcr food, results considered, for dairy
/ cattle-corn meal at cent pound OF
I wheat bran at same price,
have a flowing Wen OF water the
4 temperature of which is 90 degrees. As my
F trade demands all of the butteImllk that !
/ produce. as well as all OF the butter, we
: do not skim the milk at all, hut turn and
churn the whole milk. Which Is the net
( ter plan. TO set the cans OF trcShlN uraNh
E milk in the trough through which tile W.
tn flows continually and allow ,hem 70
remain until ready TO churu, or Shoulu
the cans be removed as soon as tue mum
has become as cold the water!
ANY suggestions from you as TO the best
manner 10 proceed VIII be greatly HI'pfe-
ciatcd. as all OF the books thal ~. .
/ read on dairying seem TO give directions
I only for raising and chuihing tle cream
! l. We would keep the cans of milk ~
Z the water until ready ia churn, ohterNis'
YOU would probably hav' to SET thSn
. la.k iu order - reduce me te"'pcra tl't'
iuus ui mifiN per uay We would advise YOU
10y all means. 20 get "A scparator-Cost $40
and separate your cream as soon as the
milking rs over. and Sc. the cream ina In,
water 60 ripen. Also set your skim milk e
rpeu Just as YOU do the cream, and when
YOU get through churning the cream for
the butter put the clabber from the sour.
Z ga skim milk into the churn and make i,
fine and smooth aud sell as butse- milk
IS you are managing now yDu cannot
possibly get all the butter by churnine
the whole milk Set at no lower tempera-
ture than o. degrees. The saving of butter
10y using separator would pay for the lat
ter IN one year where there are eight OF
ten good COWS. or daily product of fifteen
/ or twenty gallons of milk If YOU are not
making one pound Of butter from two and
half gallons or less Of sweet milk you
are doing a losing business. indeed, with
good milk dorsey and Jersey grades YOU
should get a pound Of butter from nine
quarts OF milk.
r. y. Sproul. Glenwood-I have a horse
that has sore ia his foot that commenced
+ something like wart. but has got larger
Than silver dollar. I have tried but fail
- To heal d.. some folks call il teaches.
What can / do 10 heal liz
Your description is SO utterly vague and
unsatisfactory that 1t is impossible to do
more than guess what il IS. You do not
say or which foot. whether in front
ot the foot or rear or anything except
that it "tcsun like wart and is now
larger than a silver dollar" Scratches
Goes mot START and spread that way ana
usually affects the hollow above the heels.
Ioultico for a day or SO ana then wash
clean dry Well and spread calomel over
the sore and baudage IT, When il seems TO
De- dried up dress with warm tar.
20 - have a mule three years old last
T ar this month, which / began working
last fan lay hauling with him. and this
( past spring plowcd MIN regularly doubled.
Late 90 tho summer / noticed that when
{ ordered tu move uc was very unwilling to
+ up so. and when he would start would
drag lett hind leg as 10 it was suffencd
I for four cor five steps, when he woul
I move or an right, and continue 10 SO
move until stopped 70 cool" after which
Z when ordered 90 move he would again drag
. his leg as before: doing OFTEN as
stopped. No swelling or any other alb
normal appearances. til onw there is q
small lump about the size of a partridge
J egg. of volcanic shape, raw, very pain
/ ful and situated on inside Of fore leg be-
7 tweo knee and fetlock. What can be
done for him?
Your mule probably developed what is
called sprint" on the foreeg. due to
hard work. or kick. or a 5ruise from
some cause. II stnl sore apply hot or cold
I water freely two or three times "A day,
followed. when dry. With cooling lotion
