THE VETERINARY.

Lice on animals indicate bad man
agement. Horses Or cattle in good con-
dition seldom are afflicted with lice but
low condition of the animal, the skin
being hidebound, affords excellent in
ducements for lice. Good feed and the
use of brush Will rid animals of para
sites.
Treatment For Ringworm.
A New York breeder has several cat
tie that have a skin disease 1t affects
them around the eyes and neck. caus-
ing a whitish thickening of the skin.
This is ringworm and Is best treated
by applying tincture of iodine to the
parts with a feather or small brush.
Repeat in week If needed. -.
Cure For the hampers.
In reply to the question. "Will you
please send remedy for my mule and
horses ?-they have what I call the
hampers; their gums are swollen and
they do not eat''-the veterinary of the
Kansas Farmer says: If possible get
your horses and mule to eating ear
corn, and this will be sufficient to cause
all the irritation necessary to the roof
Of the mouth to cure the hampers. If
you cannot get the animals to eat the
corn take sharp penknife and irritate
the roof Of the mouth.
A Remedy For Boils.
The veterinary of the American Ag-
riculturist gives the following remedy
for a horse that is troubled with boils
Mix one ounce each of acetate of lead
and sulphate of zinc with one quart of
water, shake up and apply little to
the boils twice day; also mix four
ounces each of nitrate of potassium and
sulphate of iron. Divide into twenty
four doses. Give one twice a day in
bran mash until all are taken. The
above quantity can be repeated if
needed.
Hair Disease In Horses.
In reply to breeder who writes,
I'VE have a four-year-old horse which
seems to have some hair disease which
causes the long hairs in its tail to
break off and fall out, the trouble being
first noticeable about twelve months
ago. the veterinary of Western Life
says: Do not brush tail. Take green
soap and wash tail well. Then apply
a bandage. When dried, take just a
little sweet oil and moisten the hair for
ten days. then wash again. Keep the
tail clean and see that horse does not
rub it.
Securing In Horses.
Securing in horses is sometimes due
to indigestion, nervousness and a con-
stitutional weakness. If from the for
mer, it is easily obviated by care in
feeding. ETC.; if from the latter cause.
1t is very difficult to overcome, says the
Horse Breeder. Have his teeth put in
order and feed him only upon such
food as is easily digested. Commence
by giving him his water first then hay
and lastly his grain. If he bolts his
food, procure a slow feed manger and
place several small stones in it, so as
to compel him to eat slowly Give him
water sparingly during the day, but
plenty at night. Do not let him fill
himself full of water just before going
out and give him tablespoonful Of
chemically pure dried sulphate Of iron
In his bran, -four and oats three times
a day until you see change Tor the
better.

Buying New Feeds.

The buyer should be very cautious
concerning new feeds and should ascer-
tain their feeding value before purchas-
ing. The addition of cheap filler to
standard feeds is getting to be alto
gether too common a practice. A
dairyman should keep his eyes open
and mental faculties on the alert. other
wise he is likely to pay $25 for 500
worth of nutriments and have only
himself to blame for the bad invest
ment.-Dr. ]. B. Lindsey, Massachu-
setts Experiment Station.

slLAGE. FOR HORSES.
Many Breeders Using 1t as q Feed
With Good Success.


With Good Success.
know silage is good feed for
horses, for have tried it I have not,
however, fed to any great extent be
cause did not have as much silage as
/ wanted for both cows and horses. I
thought more of my cows than did OF
my horses, SO the cows had all they
needed and the horses had to go short.
One winter we had brood mare that
was fed silage all winter, probably
twenty pounds day. She had some
hay and straw to go with it and no
grain except what was in the silage,
and she came out fat and with glossy
coat in the spring and had fine,
healthy colt. Horses like silage as
well as cattle do after they are ;.ccus-
toned to it. - r
Fed Siiaee Exclusively.
A man i'll Michigan a few years ago
wintered 300 he on silage and
straw exclusively. with no grain. They
came through in fine shape, and the
brood mares all had fine, strong colts.
The Ohio experiment station tried
feeding horses on silage through the
winter and reported that they came
through until spring in the best of con-
!dition. @ "
w. C. Bradley of Wisconsin says that
one year during spring work he was
out of hay, and the only coarse fodder
his horses had during all that period of
hard work was silage. He says that
the horses never stood work BETTER

The time will come when horned cat

for show purposes, as fancy breeds of

the mulleys are so many that the horns

cattle without horns as with horns,

A LIFTING DEVICE.

An Arrangement For Removing a
Wagon Box to a Platform.
There are various ways of removing
a wagon box from the trucks, and in
the following plan, described in Iowa
Homestead one of these is brought out:
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1907-05-10

The upright pole is by by IA feet
and is set several feet in the ground, SO
that it will be firm enough in its posi-
ton to stand the strain which Is re-
quired Of it. The platform on which
the rear end of the wagon box rests
when it is to be raised from the wagon
may be made any height SO as to suit
the height Of the trucks. Two guy
wires should be attached to the pole
foot or so from its top and be secured
eight or ten feet in the rear of the plat
form. The rope which Is used to do
the lifting is attached at one end of the
upright pole near its upper end. From
there 1t continues on to pulley hooked
in a rope which passes around the
front end of the wagon box, then back
over pulley In the top of the pole and
down to windlass at the rear end of
the platform. When the wagon box Is
in its final position on the platform, it
should stand upright and should be
left attached to the rope. so that 1t can.
not be blown down in case of winds.

Experience With Manure spreader.


My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land Is
far in advance of the old practice, says
writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader 1t Is
put on uniformly. and all parts of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fire.
Quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much of
the fertilizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements Of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work Is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib-
utas 1t evenly.

Force EEerted by tho Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals 12O tons lifted one foot. In other words, the work of the heart is equiv alent to raising its own weight 10000 feet In one hour. A strong man can raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour This enormous force. If exerted by the heart through fixed rigid pipe. would shoot the blood along with each jerk at rate of 200 feet second. How ever, the arteries. being elastic, are dlstended by the jerk or beat of the heart, and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along in steady non, intermittent flow, which averages about one foot second
