Unless Prescribed by a Competent Veterinarian, You Are Not
Likely to Get the. Right Medicine, and It is Much Safer
to Give No Medicine at All Than to Give the Wrong Medicine
Which Hinders Nature's' Efforts at Recovery.
E RECEIVE a large number of
letters requesting jtreatment
for live stock diseases. The
Associate Editor being a veterinarian
takes pleasure in answering such in
quiries, but too frequently the de
scription of the symptoms and con
ditions surrounding the case is so
brief and indefinite that it gives him
no clue to the cause or nature of the
trouble. The diagnosis of disease is
the most difficult problem the physi
cian has to solve. It is difficult and
uncertain when a personal examina
tion and every possible opportunity
for getting all the facts and evidence
are practicable; but when no further
information, is given than: that the
animal is sick, has a cough, a swell
ing under the jaw, or is lame in a
foreleg, a diagnosis is simply im
possible, i s I )
Sometimes a single fact will give a
veterinarian a pretty definite j idea of
the nature of the disease, but more
frequently the best he can do with
these inquiries is to suggest 'general
remedies and good care and feeding.
We would like to give our ! friends
who write for information about dis
eased live stock more definite and
efficient help; but it just simply can
not be done, on the meager informa
tion which the average inquiry con
tains, with safety to the animal to
be treated. I
A Thousand Times Better , Np Medi
cine Than the Wrong Medicine.
We wish, too, we coiild im
press on the owners of livej stock the
fact that a wrong medicine given to
a sick animal Is infinitely more dan
gerous than giving nothing. The
animal body has within it the power
to heal itself in most cases, if given
a proper opportunity. It

f or ' the sake of our dumb friends,

could convince their owners that any

Don't Let an Untrained Man Doctor
Your Stock.
This seems, for some reason, a
most difficult fact for the average
person to fully believe. It is simply
astonishing, the large numbers of
people who will prescribe for sick
live stock. Without any knowledge
of medicines or disease the poultry
man will prescribe remedies for
chicken cholera, or the merchant or
farmer will guarantee (?) a cure for
colic or hog cholera. It Is true that
the agents prescribed are sometimes
without medicinal value in any case,
but often they are not so harmless
and are certain to do more harm
than good. On points of law few
men will accept the opinion of any
ignorant man in preference to that of
the learned judge, but thousands of
otherwise intelligent people will ac

I BREED?
i '.''..'
There is no best breed. The best
beef breed is the one you like best.
If you prefer Shorthorns you may
take them without fear of any one
haying a better beef breed than you
havel If you fancy the Hereford
you can rest assured that you have a
breed as good as the best. If you
prefer a polled animal you can take
the Aberdeen Angus and no one will
have better. But whatever breed
you start with, stick to it. If you
try one breed and it does not do well
don't lay it to the breed. No breed
of cattle will do 4 well without good
feed and care. Those who have en
gaged in stock raising in the South
have not generally found it profitable
but it has been no fault of the busi
ness or the breed; but because of
lack of proper feed and care.
