ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
BLOODY MILK. 
“Subscriber ” Afton, N. Y .:—My four-year- 
old heifer gives bloody milk from two teats. 
There is no Borenesa or swelling. What is the 
remedy ? 
Ans.—B loody milk is caused by congestion 
of the udder and the fine net-work of milk 
ducts. The glands fail to change the blood 
to milk. This sometimes happens without 
any apparent cause, especially with new- 
calved cows that ere in good condition. The 
only effective treatment is to reduce the con¬ 
dition and plethora of the oow, by giving a 
cooliDg laxative, as a pound of Epsom 6alts; 
feed no meal whatever, and give even light 
pasture; give also one ounce of nitrate of pot¬ 
ash every second day for a few days. 
SOWED CORN AS A GREEN FERTILIZER. 
E. K. S , Rockford, Minn .:—What is the 
value of sowed corn turned under as a fer¬ 
tilizer? 
Ans.—S owed com maybe made a valuable 
green fertilizing crop, as it affords a large 
quantity of vegetable matter; its succulence 
is an advantage, although it has been ob¬ 
jected to as a drawback, because in the de¬ 
composition of tb© abundant sap much 
carbonic acid will he formed, and this exerts 
a favorable action upon the soil. The prob¬ 
able value of a fair crop upon poor soil, or 
such as may need this kind of fertilization, 
would be as follows: If there were 15 to-s 
of green nmtleror 80,000 pounds, this would 
contain 4,500 pounds of dry matter and 
35,500 pounds of water. The dry matter 
would consist of 400 pounds of mineral mat¬ 
ter. 300 pounds of nitrogenous matter con¬ 
taining about 50 pounds of nitrogen, and 
8,600 pounds of the carbonaceous matter, 
which in its decomposition would favorably 
act upon the soil. Such an addition to the 
soil could not possibly be made in so short a 
time by any other crop than corn; for clover 
would require twoyears for its growth, while 
corn would be ready for plowing down in 10 
we»ks and the ground made ready for fall 
grain the same season. An application of 
lime would be of much value with com grown 
for this purpose. The corn should be planted 
in rows as usual, but quite close in the row, 
and should be plowed across and the rows 
drugged under by a looe© chain.
