Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Dealing with Lice 
Will you toll me what I can do for lice 
on oats and do«s? j. K. T. 
Pennsylvania. 
Cats arc very subject to two varieties 
of lice, especially when weak from any 
cause or quite old. The Trichmodcctcs 
or surface feeding family of lice is most 
common, but. the bloodsuckers, ffcinotoi>i- 
ritfs, is also met with, and is common 
on dogs. In slight, cases thoroughly brush 
the cat, remove all masses of matted hair 
and use a fine-toothed comb to remove as 
many of the parasites as possible. A de¬ 
coction of one ounce of stavesacro and 
one quart of water, made by boiling for 
MO minutes and then straining, should be. 
well worked into the hair and skin, and 
the process repeated several times, as seen 
t<> he necessary. For old. weak cats and 
.young ones, it, is considered safer to use 
a l-to-500 solution of ehinosol. Nits may 
he removed from the hair by applying 
equal parts of strong vinegar and water 
or dilute acetic acid and water. Also 
cleanse and disinfect the quarters in 
which the cats are kept. Fluoride of 
sodium, so popular for the destruction of 
lice on poultry, has recently been sug¬ 
gested as equally effective for use on cats 
and dogs. It is well worthy of a trial. 
Freshly powdered pyrethrum, well dusted 
into the coat, is also popular for ridding 
cats and (logs of fleas. When the animal 
is badly infested with lice, it is always 
best to dip off the hair before applying 
treatment. Dogs, after clipping, should 
be tubbed in a bath of coal tar din. made 
according to directions given b.V the man- 
ufacturcr. and the treatment repeated as 
often as is seen to be necessary. The 
sleeping quarters must also be cleansed, 
disinfected, and kept free from vermin. 
Sprinkling flowers of sulphur in the bed 
may help. Care should be taken not to 
use carbolic soap or solutions on cats or 
dogs, as the poison is readily absorbed by 
the skin, ami lias caused many fatalities 
in these animals. 
two hours, inassaging the udder well each 
time and twice daily rub in a mixture 
of one part each of pure turpentine and 
fluid extract of pokeroot and belladonna 
leaves and six parts of warm sweet oil or 
melted^ ausulted lard. At I he same time 
give night and morning in feed or in any 
way found most convenient one to Iwo 
drama of formaldehyde in a quart of 
water, according to severity of condition 
present. The internal treatment is most 
necessary when the milk has become cur¬ 
dled or otherwise changed in condition in¬ 
dicating that, inammilis (inflammation) 
has succeeded congestion, a condition also 
termed garget. 
Jersey Cattle Sales 
Jersey enthusiasts have had opportu¬ 
nity to bid on some of the choicest indi¬ 
viduals during June. All of the well- 
known Jersey breeders and importers 
have held exceptionally good sales this 
year. The first of these sales was held at 
MeridaIc Farms. Delaware t’o., N. Y., on 
June 8, the day following the annual 
meeting of the American Jersey Cattle 
Club. 
A special train was provided by the 
sales management to carry buyers and 
others interested from New York to (lie 
farm, on which Jersey cattle have been 
bred for I he past MM years. The offering 
was presented in the pink of condition, 
and represented a number of the most 
popular blood lines. 
Fifty-two head were sold for an aver¬ 
age of $7 so. T. S. Cooper, the dean of 
Jersey breeders and importers, paid the 
top price of $2,N0O for an outstanding 
daughter of his former chief herd sire, 
“Oxford You'll Do.” The Twin Oaks 
Farm, of .Morrisville. N. J., paid the sec¬ 
ond highest price of $2,750 for a show 
cow. The best, individuals attracted the 
keenest bidding, and brought by far the 
highest, prices. A number of breeders 
were present who were eager to fortify 
their show herds for the State fairs this 
Fall. Tile cattle sold were distributed 
from Texas to Canada and from New 
England to Kentucky and Tennessee. 
This sale was so successful that Meridab- 
Farms will probably hold another sale on 
Labor Day. in which both imported cat¬ 
tle and Jerseys of Meridale breeding will 
be offered. 
Coming Farmers’ Meetings 
Blind Quarters 
I have a valuable cow that has just 
freshened and her two forward teats do 
not give any milk. C. D. M. 
New York. 
The condition described is in all prob¬ 
ability incurable. When it is found at 
calving lime that a teat does not yield 
ini 1 k it should immediately he immersed 
in hot water containing all the boric acid 
if will dissolve, and a milking rube that 
has been cleansed, boiled for l." minutes 
or more and then smeared with cnrbol- 
ized vaseline, should be gently inserted 
in the duct of the teat. In some cases 
the duet is merely blocked with catarrhal 
substance which is easily broken through 
and worked out of the tent. In other 
cases growths obstruct the dud. and if 
they are at or quite Close to the opening 
of the teat, they may he removed by op¬ 
eration When the growths are high up 
in the duet or where a web of tissues oc¬ 
cludes the passage, it is best to leave the 
condition alone, as interference is about 
certain to cause disastrous infection, 
which may involve and ruin the sound 
quarters of the udder. In the ease in 
question we should advise you not to at¬ 
tempt an operation, but if the quarter be¬ 
comes inflamed, bathe it with hot water 
for 15 minutes several times a day, and 
in lbe evening rub in some warm cam¬ 
phorated oil or lard.

Congested Udder 
T have a two year-old licifer that had 
first calf May 13. 1022. She made Img 
tit least three weeks before calving, and 
it is now a good size and qnite hard. 1 
get about three pints of milk three times 
a day after calf is done sucking. I have 
been told she will lose hardness uf uddeir 
soon. a. o. 
Now Jersey. 
In order that a cow may yield a great 
flow of milk at calving time, when she is 
bred to produce much milk, the udder 
engorges with blood. This is a good sign 
of capacity for milk production. It is 
termed congestion, and it will be found 
that the swelling pits or dents under 
pressure of the fingers as does soft clay 
or dough. The swelling often run for¬ 
ward beyond the navel and far up be¬ 
tween the hind 'egs. It should soon sub¬ 
side after ealviug. When Congestion is 
excessive before calving it may be reduced 
by cutting down (lie rich feed, giving the 
cow or heifer a pound of Epsom salts in 
three pints of tepid water well sweetened 
with blackstrap molasses. When Ibis has 
acted keep the bowels active, and if the 
swelling persists mix a tablespoon each 
of powdered saltpeter ami pokeroot in the 
evening meal for six or seven days. 
The swelling should also be well mas¬ 
saged several times daily and a little 
fluid stripped away if it is found present. 
In the evening rub warm melted unsultcd 
lard or sweet oil into the udder. If the 
udder is still swollen and hard milk every
