BLOODY MILK. 



Cows occasionally give bloody milk, which may be due to 

 some injury to the udder, or to congestion or inflammation of 

 the same. It may be due to some diseased condition of the ud- 

 der, or from eating some acrid or irritant plants. 



Treatment. If it is due to congestion or injury of the udder, 

 give physic No. 1. Bathe the bag well with warm water twice 

 a day, and each time after bathing apply our Liniment well to all 

 affected parts. After the cow has physicked out, give our Con- 

 dition Powders in bran mash for a week or ten days. If due to 

 eating certain kinds of weeds, change the pasture. Don't use the 

 milk while it is bloody or for several days afterwards, for it may 

 be due to some poison or from tubercular disease (consumption) 

 in the udder. 



BLUE MILK. 



Cows sometimes give bluish or watery milk, which is generally 

 due to the presence of a germ in the teat or udder that infects 

 the milk and changes its color and character. Give internally 

 physic No. 1, and give 2 drams of hyposulphite of soda twice a 

 day in the feed or as a drench. Our Condition Powders given 

 regularly for one or two weeks will be beneficial. 



STRINGY MILK. 



This is a condition in which the milk gets in a stringy white 

 or yellowish condition. Its causes and treatment are about the 

 same as for Blue Milk, which see.
