Analyzing Medicine 
I have some medicine from the veteri¬ 
narian Which lie s'nVe me to cure garget. 
1 K.-ive the cow .some, mid the next morn¬ 
ing she was dead. 1 have thought it. may 
lie poisonous, and would like to have this 
medicine examined. V. u. p. 
New York. 
You might submit a sample of the 
medicine to the loeal drug store, and if 
he cannot decide what il is, he may .ar¬ 
range to have it analyzed. We should 
think it practically certain that the vet¬ 
erinarian did not give it poisonous dose, 
or that an overdose was given by mis¬ 
take, if the drug was poisonous, Aconite 
sometimes is given for garget, and an 
excessive dose would be likely to prove 
poisonous, A cow may, however, die 
suddenly from heart disease or rupture 
of a blood vessel or some such cause, 
over which the veterinarian has no con¬ 
trol. If you report the matter to the 
veterinarian we feel sure that lie will tell 
you what drug was tiscjl and what the 
proper dose should have been. He should 
be consulted before making any other 
move in the case.

Garget 
Will you tell me what causes garget, 
and what will cure it? J. M. o. 
New York. 
There are several forms of mammitis, 
mastitis, or garget, and you should have 
given full particulars if you have a case 
to treat. Simple garget is swelling of 
one quarter or all quarters of tlie udder 
and Change in the appearance and con¬ 
sistency of Iho milk. It is curdled. 
There is practically no fever, nor is the 
cow lame or off feed. It may be due to 
indigestion, chill, coming in heat, wean¬ 
ing of the calf, sudden changes of feed, 
rough, incomplete or irregular milking, 
change of milkers, or overfeeding protein 
rations for a long period. Acute and 
contagious manimitis are due to germ in¬ 
vasion of the udder. Pus forms in the 
udder, and may cause external abscesses 
or those which break into the milk secret¬ 
ing chambers (acini) or milk-carrying 
tubes or cistern. High fever is present 
and the cow is lame, quits eating and 
milk turns brown, curdled and sometimes 
has a foul smell. It contains pus, and 
eventually is like pus. Perfect recovery 
rarely occurs. Isolate n cow the moment 
anything goes wrong with her udder. 
Milk her last and destroy the milk. Keep 
the hands disinfected, Cleanse, disinfect 
and whitewash the stall she lias occupied. 
Cleanse all udders before milking. Keep 
floors clean. Milk with clean hands. 
G LOBE SILOS are the choice of 
Dairymen and Stockmen who in¬ 
vestigate before buying. They insure 
full silage capacity because the exten¬ 
sion roof has nearly straight sides. They 
have continuous opening adjustable 
door-fronts. The door fasteners make 
a convenient ladder. They are built 
to stay and keep silage because the 
stave joints have six points of support, 
making the Silos absolutely air tight. 
Prices for Globe Silos have been reduced to the 
1917 basis. Write for the Globe catalog, and ask 
about special discount offered for early orders.

Poor Milk Yields 
Would you advise me how much Epsom 
salts to give a cow in Hying to cure her 
of giving bitter milk? She has been milk- 
ing eight months, and is due to calve in 
four months. Both mother and sister of 
this cow gave hitter milk, too, about four 
months before calving lime. Do you think 
this is hereditary, or can it be cured ! Both 
seem to get spells of being very 
at times. It does not always

The production, of milk is largely de¬ 
pendent upon hereditary tendency. When 
a cow is descended from bred-for-perform- 
ance ancestry on both sides of her pedi¬ 
gree, she will be practically certain to 
produce a profitable yield of milk, if cared 
for and fed properly, and in sanitary, 
comfortable surroundings. A cow not 
so bred is not. worth keeping for a minute 
for dairy purposes. The cows in ques¬ 
tion should, therefore, he dried off and 
fed for the butcher. Dosing with Epsom 
salt or auy other drug cannot possibly 
make them good milkers, although it 
might temporarily bring them up to the 
maximum of the milk production possible 
to them Uirough heredity. When it is 
necessary to give a cow Epsom salts, the 
average dose is 1 lb. dissolved in ”5 pts. 
<>f lukewarm water, to he well sweetened 
with blackstrap molasses. If a more 
powerful purgative action is desired, add 
half a cupful of common salt to the Et»- 
som salts solution. Give it. very slowly 
and carefully from a long-necked hot lie 
to avoid choking the animal A table¬ 
spoon each of powdered aniseed and 
fennel seed mixed in the feed twice daily 
also helps to increase diminished milk 
flow. Add cottonseed nieul or cake to 
the ration when the bowels are too loose, 
P. B. Messick, Middletown, Del., 
writes, “We used your L-16 3-knife 
Papec with a Fordson tractor in 1919 and did 
excellent work, but it seems there is no limit to 
Fthe machine’s cutting capacity, as this year we put 
"l40 tonsof silage away in 14 hours and then did not keep her full.” 
The powerful Papec is guaranteed to cut and elevate more silage, 
.with the same power, than any other blower cutter.
