COMMON SENSE
WITH MEDICINE
In Treating Ills of Live Stock
Judgment Must BE Mixed With
the Drugs Administered.

In handling livestock and treating
livestock ills, much common sense
must be mixed with medicine. In
fact, many minor animal ills may be
cured without resorting to medicine.
The writer has a mare that became
stiff and lame in one front leg last
winter. We were told all sorts of
things were the matter with her, and
many remedies were prescribed. We
had been away from home for a few
weeks and found that the mare had
lost the shoe from the lame foot and
that she had been confined in her stall
nearly all of the time,
To reduce soreness, the leg was
bathed in a water solution of salt and
vinegar, slightly warm. Each night
and morning the leg and shoulder
were given a good, brisk rubbing to
stimulate good circulation of blood.
The mare resented the treatment at
first. but soon willingly permitted it
and afterward seemed to enjoy it. The
lameness and stiffness began to grad
uaily disappear and she was practical
ly we'll within two weeks During this
tirlc she was worked lightly almost
daily and allowed outside freedom
when weather permitted. Keeping the
blood flowing through exercise and
rubbing effected the cure, we believe.

and is always poor property to its
owner. BY allowing it fresh, warm
milk from the separator you will have
a big. strong calf in such a condition
that will give the best results for the
extra care and labor, the same as 9th
er stock kept in a thriving condition.
Sweet skinned milk makes bone and
sinew for the calf. We are looking
after the calf that is to be raised to
maturity and there are cheaper foods
than 25-cent butter fat upon which to
raise calves. That is, buy centrifu
gal cream separators, if you do not
have one already, and feed your calves
the milk as soon as run through the
separator, while it yet contains the
animal heat and in the condition just
suited TO the needs of the calf. We be.
lieve that every farmer who keeps
from three to ten good COWS and
wishes to grow good calves will find
it to his advantage TO buy a good
cream separator and use it intelli-
gently.

SEPARATED MILK
FOR CALVES

There is no doubt but that calves
do exceedingly well on separated milk.
The calf that sucks the COW will do
we'll until weaving time comes, but
the calf that gets its warm, fresh, sep
arated milk will flourish the whole
year round. For the sake of a few
more pounds of butter the calf is often
starved to a gaunt, unsightly little
dwarf and never comes TO maturity
