BEST TREATMENT FOR COLO
Improper Feeding Is Most Common Cause of Troube-Physic of
 Salts or Oil Is Favored.

d8y L. L. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
 Station)
 Collie in horses and cattle is from various causes, but is more particu- larly due to sudden changes i'll feed or to eating more feed than can be easily digested by the animal at that time. The amount of feed that an ami nal may digest at one time under certain conditions may be entirely too much under other conditions. Since collie may be caused by so many differ ent things, no one remedy will prove effective in all cases.
 As a general rule, most of the eolies that are seen in farm stock are due to improper feeding In those cases the best general treatment that might be used would be to give as early as pos sible physic of salts or oil. To re- lieve the pain seen particularly in spasmodic collie, the safest general treatment that can be used is to give from one to one and one-half ounce of chloral hydrate. dissolved in a pint of water, to which has been added one teaspoonful of ground ginger
 Do not give laudanum in such cases, as it only tends to produce constipa- tion, and on this account is one of the poorest remedies that you can use.
The Newark journal., 1916-05-04

pressed. The trouble is incurable, and the treatment, therefore, can only be palliative.
 The difficulty in breathing increases when the stomach and bowels are con- gested with food and water. Both are to be given only in small quantities at a time. Green food and cut grass should be fed at intervals.
 The food should always be damp ened with water Dusty or burned hay Is to be avoided, as are also chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
 It is a good plan to mix a quarter of pint of linseed oil with each feed. AS regards medicinal agents, their action on broken wind can only be temporary.
 Every dealer has his specific for this disease. Some give the animal pound of lard, or any sort of food fat made into balls, while others give a quantity of leaden shot. Asubcutaneous injection of morphia many resort to.
 These things do no permanent good, but as the palliative treatment, If care fully carried out, is of great benefit to the poor animal, it may be looked upon as the only treatment for broken-winded horse.

CALOMEL DYNbMITES
 4 SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you sick and you lose
 a days work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury. Caiomel acts like dynamite on a slug gish liver. When calomeI comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 II you feel bilious, headaehy, eonsti- pated and all knocked out. just % to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle ot Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harm less vegetable substitute for dangerous eaiomel. Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making YOU sick. you. just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, It may saliyate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like it.

found too expensive for use in improv- ing the farm roads. One or more of the following will, however, usually be found available and within the means of the farmer for surfaeing his roads and paths: Gravel mixtures of sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from old buildings. brick-yard waste and quarry waste. The material selected should, however be hard enough to withstand crushing under heavy loads and possess sufficient binding power to compact well and maintain firm. hard surface under all ordinary weath- CT conditions.
 Drainage and a good foundation are the first considerations in improving a road with a hard surface. The best possible foundation is a good earth road with a low crown. Earth shoul- ders may be graded upon each side to prevent the surfacing material from spreading, as in the construction of an ordinary macadam road. The materi- al used for surfacing should be placed in uniform layer or layers on this foundation and should be given q suf- cient crown to shed the rain waters to the sides. If a road roller can be se- cured the material may be quickly con- solidated, otherwise considerable time will be required for it to be consoli- dated by the traffic. During this proc ess the read should receive frequent attention with a split-log drag or other means for smoothing the surface and filling the ruts. On steep grades where there would be a tendency for the side ditches to wash, this can usu- ally be overcome by providing out lets and getting the water away from the road before it aeeumulates in large volume. On roads where wagons will not be required to pass each other a width of from nine to twelve feet be- cient The surfaced portion neet rare- ly exceed seven or eight feet. There is no particular virtue in building a farm road wider than is necessary to answer the special traffic require ments. The need or desirability of moving occasionally eXtPa wide or heavy implements. such as certain har- vesting machinery. over the roads should, however, not be lost sight of. A little foresight in the alignment of ditches, in providing ample width of gates, or of giving extra strength to culverts, may save 2. great deal of both annoyance and delay during some very busy period
