Abnormal  Breathing 
I  would  like  to  have  some  advice  about 
my  five-year-old  cow.  Whenever  she  is 
going  to  the  barn  evenings  she  breathes 
like  a  horse  with  heaves.  L.  s. 
New  York. 
Isolate  the  cow  and  have  her  tested 
with  tuberculin,  as  tuberculosis  is  to  be 
.suspected  as  the  cause  of  the  difficulty 
in  breathing.  It  is  possible  for  a  cow 
to  have  emphysema  of  the  lungs  (heaves), 
but  the  disease  is  comparatively  rare, 
while  tuberculosis  is  common.  There  is 
no  cure  in  either  ease.  A.  s.  A.

Blind  Teat 
I  have  a  cow  that  has  one  teat  that 
has  an  obstruction  in  her  udder  at  the 
point  where  the  teat  commences,  which 
does  hot  let  the  milk  down,  only  as  I 
press  the  udder  a  few  seconds,  and  let 
the  teat  fill,  then  milk  it  out  and  com¬ 
mence  over  again.  We  call  it  a  wind 
teat.  Would  you  advise  drying  the  quar¬ 
ter  and  have  a  throe-tented  cow,  or  can 
something  be  done?  Another  teat  gives 
bloody  milk  a  little  at  the  last  of  the 
milking.  Is  there  a  remedy?  What  can 
I  use  to  dry  the  quarter?  E.  j.  w. 
Vermont. 
The  fact  that  two  teats  are  affected 
makes  this  an  unprofitable  cow  to  retain 
for  dairying.  The  bleeding  may  be  due 
to  irritating  growths  in  tin*  teat,  or  may 
have  resulted  from  mammitis  (garget). 
As  the  obstruction  is  far  up  in  the  teat 
it  is  unlikely  that  it  can  be  removed. 
If  it  happens  to  be  merely  a  membrane 
stretched  across  the  opening  into  the 
milk  sinus  a  skilled  surgeon  may  be 
able  to  operate  successfully,  but  growth 
at  that  place  is  difficult  to  remove  with¬ 
out  infection.  Better  sell  the  cow  to  the 
butcher.  To  dry  off  milk  rub  in  twice 
daily  a  mixture  of  equal  parts  of  fluid 
extract  of  belladonna  leaves  and  cam¬ 
phorated  oil.  in  addition  to  gradually 
lengthening  the  time  between  milkings.

Kopy  Milk 
I  have  a  cow  whoso  milk  is  troubling 
me.  Sometimes  it  will  be  all  right  and 
at  intervals  it.  comes  in  clots  and  fills  Hie 
separator  bowl  ring  with  a  heavy  sub¬ 
stance.  Have  given  epsom  salts  in  small 
doses,  but  it  does  not  help.  I..  D.  M. 
New  Hampshire. 
Often  the  cow  is  not  to  blame  when 
the  milk  is  ropy,  stringy  or  slimy.  The 
condition  commonly  is  due  to  the  pres¬ 
ence  of  bacillus  viscoSlis  lnctis  in  the 
milk  utensils.  This  organism  comes 
from  contaminated  water  and  infects  the 
milk-room  or  dairy,  as  well  as  the  milk 
utensils.  A  thorough  cleansing  of  the 
premises  and  milk  vessels,  followed  by 
disinfection  and  whitewashing  of  walls, 
floors,  etc.,  is  necessary  if  the  trouble 
is  to  be  got  rid  of.  The  ropiness  forms 
after  the  milk  stands  for  some  time.  If 
you  know  that  the  milk  of  the  cow  in 
question  is  abnormal  when  it  comes  from 
the  udder,  isolate  the  e*nv  and  do  not 
mix  her  milk  with  that  of  the  other 
cows.  The  milk  from  an  affected  quar¬ 
ter  or  udder  may  taint  the  milk  with 
which  it  is  mixed.  Have  the  cow  tested 
with  tuberculin  if  you  know  that  her 
udder  is  diseased,  as  tuberculosis  may 
bn  present.  When  mammitis  is  the  cause 
of  the  trouble  you  describe  the  cow  should 
be  milked  three  times  a  day  and  her  udder 
rubbed  with  warm  lard  each  evening. 
At  time  of  attack  give  her  a  tablespoon fn l 
each  of  saltpeter  and  powdered  poke  root 
In  her  feed.  a.  s.  a.

Mammitis 
T.ast  year,  when  my  cow  had  been 
milked  about  six  months  she  began  to 
have  garget  in  one  quarter  It  worked 
into  the  other  quarters  as  she  dried  off. 
.V  neighbor  said  they  had  a  cow  go  the 
same  way  und  they  gave  the  cow  salt¬ 
petre  and  stopped  the  trouble.  About 
three  weeks  ago  my  cow  gave  a  little 
I hlok  milk  in  one  quarter.  (The  same 
one  that  began  first  last  year).  I  gave 
the  cow  one  teaspoonful  of  saltpetre,  iu 
feed,  for  three  mornings.  She  began  to 
dry  off.  She  was  giving  1(5  pounds  of 
milk  to  a  milking.  Yesterday  morning 
she  gave  four  pounds,  last  night  1% 
pounds.  This  morning  she  was  dry.  Her 
feed  is  four  pounds  of  wheat  bran  nml 
one-half  pound  each  of  oil  meal  and  cot¬ 
tonseed  meal  twice  daily,  and  has  had 
free  access  to  salt.  She  was  tuberculin 
tested  last  Spring.  c.  w. 
New  Hampshire. 
The  cow  should  be  sold  to  the  butcher 
or  fattened  for  slaughter,  provided  she 
has  been  tested  with  tuberculin  and 
proved  free  from  tuberculosis.  She  has 
a  diseased  udder  and  treatment  will  not 
be  likely  to  improve  matters  while  she 
will  be  certain  to  give  more  trouble 
should  she  eulve  again.  The  garget 
(mammitis)  no  doubt  has  been  caused  by 
infective  mutters  entering  the  teat,  if  the 
udder  does  not  happen  to  be  tubercular. 
Such  a  cow  tuny  infect  other  cows  so 
should  be  kept  isolated.  The  dose  of  salt¬ 
peter  is  oue  iablesponful,  once  or  twice 
daily  in  water  or  feed,  if  you  happen  to 
have  a  starting  case  of  mammitis  to  treat 
at  some  future  time,  and  it  is  well  to 
combine  the  saltpeter  with  a  similar  dose
