I  have  a  cow  that  has  been  calved  one 
week,  but  has  not  come  to  her  milk.  I

We  should  advise  you  to  dry  off  the 
milk  secretion  and  fit  the  cow  for  the 
butcher  as  there  is  no  probability  that 
she  will  ever  give  a  profitable  flow  of 
milk,  seeing  that  garget  lias  been  pres¬ 
ent.  If  you  do  not  care  to  do  this,  milk 
three  times  a  day  and  feed  a  milk-stim¬ 
ulating  ration.  Fluid  extract  of  mix 
vomica  may  be  given  twice  daily.  Start 
with  "0  drops  at  a  dose  in  water  and 
increase  each  dose  a  drop  or  two  daily. 
Go  hack  to  the  original  dose  and  repeat 
should  any  alarming  symptoms  appear. 
Massage  the  udder  thoroughly  at  each 
milking.  a.  s.  a.

Abnormal  Teat 
After  calving  the  right  hind  quarter 
of  the  udder  of  cow  remained  hard  and 
a  small  hard  thing  was  formed  at  the  end 
of  the  teat.  A  veterinarian  was  called 
and  he  operated  upon  the  feat.  Now  the 
quarter  has  softened  and  the  milk  comes 
out  easily,  but  the  end  of  the  teat  is 
still  rather  hard  and  she  has  very  little 
milk  in  that  quarter.  Can  you  tell  me 
what  to  do  to  get  the  quarter  into  normal 
condition?  1.  r, 
Connecticut. 
Milk  and  massage  the  quarter  three 
limes  daily,  and  each  night  rub  in  some 
warm  melted  lard.  It  may  be  that  a 
full  flow  of  milk  will  be  secreted  at  an¬ 
other  calving,  but  unlikely  that  much 
improvement  will  take  place  now.

Wind-sucking  Cow 
I  have  a  cow  that  is  in  good  condi¬

there  seems  to  be  a  little  trouble  with 
her.  She  puts  her  head  up  and  laps 
both  sides  of  her  jaws,  but  only  when
