dipped in an antiseptic solution. Then bathe the 

 wound with an antiseptic wash made from corro- 

 sive sublimate tablets, formalin, boracic acid, or 

 creolin. Let nature do the healing. Keep the 

 wound clean and free from germs by frequently 

 bathing it with the antiseptic wash. 



Sometimes a cow's udder is badly torn on 

 barbed wire or brush. Thoroughly cleanse the 

 wound with an antiseptic wash, using a syringe 

 if one is at hand. Trim the rough edges and 

 draw the cuts together with white silk thread, tying 

 each stitch separately. Leave an opening of an 

 inch at the lowest point of the wound. Insert in 

 this opening a small piece of cotton wadding to 

 help carry away any discharge. Bathe the wound 

 if necessary with a boracic, or weak carbolic acid 

 wash and renew the wadding. When healed re- 

 move the stitches. 



WARTS ON UDDER 



Tie the warts tightly with silk thread or horse 

 hair. In about three days the warts will drop off. 

 If the warts have a slender attachment they may 

 be clipped off with scissors. To prevent the warts 

 growing again, touch the spots with caustic. Some 

 people burn the warts off with caustic.
