Ropy Milk 
I have a heifer due to freshen in No¬ 
vember, which will be ^pcond calf. Tier 
milk for the past month is exceedingly 
sweet after it sets a few hours, and when 
dropped from a sport® or cup it "hairs’* 
similar to boiled syrup. W^icn her milk 
gets sour (and A sours very quickly’! it 
is stringy and slippery. Cream is - no good 
at. all. She seems in perfect health: 
feeds on pasture exclusively. In cam- 
Spring we made butter, but this seemed 
to come on all at once and is getting 
worse. c. it. s. 
New York. 
In all probability the cow is not in 
any way to blame for this condition of 
her milk; but to determine that, you 
might set a sample of milk from each 
quarter of her udder in a separate bottle, 
sterilized by boiling and labeled so that 
the source of the contents of each may 
be known. If any section of (he udder 
is found to be yielding abnormal milk, 
garget is the likely cause, and such milk 
should be discarded. Then treat for gar¬ 
get according to directions often given 
here, itopiness or stringy ness of milk 
or cream is usually caused by bacteria in 
the water in which the milk is cooled or 
that used for washing the milk utensils. 
Water in which the cows arc allowed to 
stand may also contaminate the udders*, 
and unless care is taken to cleanse the 
teats mid udder before milking, matters 
from it dropping into the milk may carry 
the infective germs. Keep the cows out 
of water and tilth. Empty the cooling 
tank and scrub it clean. If green growths 
(algae) are present, wash the tank with 
a solution of 1 oz. of sulphate of copper 
(bluestone) per gallon of water. Another 
plan we have seen recommended is to put 
a 12-oz. can of chlorinated lime into the 
clean water used to till a KHtgnl tank, 
after cleansing. More lime should be 
added, according to the amount of water 
ill a larger tank. All milk utensils may 
thou be immersed in this solution for Id 
minutes to kill germs. By thus cleansing 
and disinfecting the cooling tank and per¬ 
fectly sterilizing all utensils used for fbe 
setting of milk or handling of Cfettm, the 
infection may. as a rule, be eradicated: 
but it is also well to set the milk in fi 
different place. si> free from dust as pos¬ 
sible. and preferably one that has been 
specially cleansed, disinfected and white¬ 
washed. 
Treatment tor Colic 
Would you suggest a remedy to have 
on hand for colic in horses from overeat¬ 
ing at pasture? One to be given with a 
small syringe on tongue is preferred. 
State precaution to prevent this trouble. 
New Jersey. it. B. 
Since the enactment of* the Harrison 
drug act the layman cannot buy narcotics, 
hence is unable to have tilled at the drug 
store prescriptions containing opium or 
tincture of opium (laudanum) and other 
drugs of like nature. For that reason it 
is best to keep on hand for use in emer¬ 
gency .some colic drenches supplied by the 
local graduate veterinarian, who should 
be employed in till severe cases, and es¬ 
pecially in attacks of flatulent (“wind") 
colic in which tapping of the distended 
bowel, high up in the right Hank, often is 
necessary to save life, and should only be 
attempted by the trained expert. A mix¬ 
ture of medicines that can be given in 
most attacks of colic is: Spirits of cam¬ 
phor. sulphuric ether and chloroform, of 
each two drains; tinctures of nttx and 
digitalis, of each, one dram. This is one 
dose, and may be repeated in 20 minutes, 
if not effective. It is sometimes given 
with a syringe, but is better given in 
gelatin capsules or well-diluted water. In 
nearly all cases of colic it is safe and 
beneficial to administer one ounce of pure 
turpentine and one or two teaspoonsful 
each of tinctures or essences of pepper¬ 
mint and ginger and a like dose of fluid 
extract of nux vomica shaken up in a 
pint of raw linseed oil. Medicine should 
not he given by way of the mouth if it is 
seen that the horse is belching fir if feed 
and water surge up and down in the gul¬ 
let. Those ate the symptoms of disten¬ 
sion of the stomach with gas, in acute 
gastritis, and in that, state the stomach 
is readily ruptured by administration ol 
drenches of medicines. Soda, often given 
by the owner, is particularly liable to 
rupture the distended stomach by gener¬ 
ating additional gas. Fussing of a stom¬ 
ach tithe is the right treatment, and is 
done by the veterinarian. A good mixture 
to keep on band for use in attacks of 
cramp colic is composed of 15 parts each 
of sulphuric ether, pure nil of turpentine 
and tincture of ginger; two parts of oil 
of peppermint and ”2 parts of raw lin¬ 
seed oil. One pint is the dose lor an 
adult horse, and may be repeated in an 
hour, if seen to he necessary. There 
would be far fewer cases of colic to treat 
were one man always y* do the feeding 
and care were taken to make no sudden 
changes in feed and not to feed nr wilier 
the horse before he has cooled off a bit 
at noon. New hay and new oats cause 
many attacks. Save old oats and hn\ 
for use in Summer. Water horse often 
when at work. Feed a pound or two of 
hay at noon, and allow water, and then 
grain when the horse has cooled. 
Lice on Hogs 
1 ii April I bought a voung sow. Same 
is growing nicely, but is troubled with lice, 
big ones, size of a pea. Some of tny 
neighbors advised me to rub her with 
sulphur; some use lard; some insect 
powder oi* kerosene. I have tried every¬ 
thing. but in two weeks she was full of 
lice again. E. G. 
New Jersey, 
The large lice of hogs are mostly found 
in and around'the ears, on the breast and 
in trout of the elbows. Successive broods 
of lice hatch from nits which are not de¬ 
stroyed by one treatment. To get rid of 
lice, dip the sow in a hath of coal-tar 
dip made according to directions given 
by the manufacturer, and repeat the dip¬ 
ping when seen to be necessary. 1 >o not 
return the sow to the place she lias oc¬ 
cupied, but move her into a new, clean 
colony house on grass after dipping, and 
allow her (o graze a succession of green 
crops throughout the Summer and Au¬ 
tumn. 1 >o not let her have access to any 
place previously occupied by swine. 
<'leanse the old lmg house and disinfect 
it with a Jive per cent solution of coal-tar 
disinfectant, or a mixture of one part of 
compound cresol solution and 20 parts 
of water; then spray with freshly made 
linn-wash to each three gallons of which 
add one pound of fresh ehloWde of lime. 
Flood* the floor with the lino-wash after 
the other parts have been sprayed, and 
when dry put in fresh bedding, The house 
may then he used for other hogs. A hog- 
oiler may he bought on tbe market. When 
hogs rub against this contrivance, crude 
oil or a mixture of that oil and kerosene 
or dip wets the infested skin. An ef¬ 
fective oiler may -be made at home bv hol¬ 
lowing out a post, running a large auger 
hole from the side into the central cavity, 
driving a soft wood plug into the side 
hole, wrapping the post with gunnysack- 
ing and Idling the cavity with crude oil 
or kerosene emulsion nr solution. Much 
kerosene should not be applied to a sow 
with pig, as it. may cause abortion. In 
Winter, when dipping cannot well he 
done, dust infested jiarts freely with 
pyrethrum powder, flowers of sulphur and 
powdered tobacco leaves. Fluoride of 
sodium, so effective for destruction of lice 
of poultry, may also be used for lice of 
hogs and other farm animals. 
Death from Bloat 
We have 10 young' pigs, about, two 
months of age, which we have been feed¬ 
ing skim-milk and clover. We mow the 
clover and throw iff to them green. We 
recently lost two of them. They appeared 
healthy in the evening, at feeding time, 
and next morning were dead and slightly 
bloated. Could the clover have dune this? 
If not, what did? Would it be safe to 
feed green oats and peas just as they are 
cut? j. J. n. 
New York. 
The pigs, no doubt, were killed by the 
green-cut clover. It is quite common for 
pigs to bloat and die quickly when sud¬ 
denly turned into green clover when they 
are very hungry or not accustomed to such 
feed. That often occurs when pigs have 
been grazing grass and the pasture be¬ 
comes so short that the owner decides n 
change is necessary, and so turns the 
pigs into a lush growth of clover without 
doe preparation. Wet clover, as with 
cattle, is most likely to Cause bloat. Any 
green feed may have the same effect, 
under similar circumstances. The mod¬ 
ern method of raising hogs is to let them 
graze a suesession of green crops from 
early Spring until late in Autumn. Rye. 
oats and peas, rape, clover, Alfalfa and 
Soy beans are the crops most used for 
this purpose, and losses from bloat or 
acute indigestion dr* not occur tinder this 
system of feeding, as the pigs become ac¬ 
customed to the green feed early in the 
season, and take it daily without becom¬ 
ing inordinately hungry. Your held o 
oats and peas should have been pastured 
in that way. Tf you must feed the crop 
to pigs, it will only he safe to let them 
have a little at a time, and gradually 
increase the amount as they become ac¬ 
customed to the feed. The Bon sop is now 
so advanced, however, that we think you 
might as well let the oats and peas ripen 
or cut the crop for hay before it is quite 
ripe. It may then be fed with advantage 
to dairy cows or other cattle, or tjie pigs 
may be allowed to work it. over for such 
grain and peas they can find. They may 
also eat some of the pea straw, if it is 
not too woody. In addition to the graz¬ 
ing crops, it is necessary to allow growing 
pigs sweet skim-milk daily In addition to 
middlings, ground rye or barley, oilme.-d 
and tankage from a self-feeder. Corn 
may be allowed when the nigs are well 
grown and strong on their feet and legs 
It would be well to apply to the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.. 
for a bulletin on the management and 
feeding of hogs.
