COW WITH DIARRHOEA. 
I have a cow troubled with diarrhoea, and 
It seems Impossible to stop her. Feed is 
silage and hay, and a little gralu. Can you 
give a remedy? j. c. 
Walton, N. Y. 
In a case of this kind a veterinary 
should have been consulted at once, as too 
much time will have elapsed before this 
reaches the questioner to be of much 
but if Orpingtons are better layers they are 
the birds that I want. E. b. 
Newtonville, Mass. 
R. N.-Y.—We would like to have those 
who have handled the Orpingtons give us fair 
statements of their comparative value for 
size and laying qualities. 
“The Blue IIen.”—W ill you ask your 
hen man if there Is a breed of hens of a 
pale blue color, about as large as leghorns, 
uniform in color all over, what they are 
called and what they are in quality? I see 
benefit. It is possible she may have some a stray one here and there, but no one seems 
disease (possibly tuberculosis) and the to know much about them, only they are “good 
diarrhoea is only a result of the same. 
Then the disease should be treated. Oats 
will always be beneficial in such cases; 
they are strengthening, and will tend to 
correct the trouble. If there is no seri¬ 
ous disease the following will be found 
layers.” I am told that a few years ago 
some one brought a blue rooster from Con¬ 
necticut and perhaps a little of the “blue 
blood” got spattered about. g. w. ii. 
Massachusetts. 
R. N.-Y.—What you refer to is evidently 
the Blue Andalusian—a well defined breed of 
the Afediterranean type, and not unlike Leg- 
helpful : six ounces powdered galls, two horns. Several of our advertisers have of- 
ounces powdered gentian; make into 12 ferG(i them. 
powders. Give one three times a day till 
passage presents a normal appearance. 
Mix each powder with one-half pint whis¬ 
ky and one-half pint water. Keep the 
animal warm and away from storms and 
drafts. e. van alstyne. 
COW WITH PECULIAR AILMENT. 
My Jersey cow ten years old was affected 
last November in a peculiar way. She seemed 
to have rheumatism in her legs, for at times 
she walked as if in pain. One day she fell 
prone on her side and for five minutes could 
not rise. In 10 minutes she was apparently 
all right. Since then she has had several of 
these spells at varying intervals, and the last 
two or three have been more marked in their 
symptoms. The cow seems in apparent health 
but suddenly she falls on her side and her 
breath comes quick and hard. Her head is 
stretched out and her mouth tightly closed. 
Her whole body becomes slightly rigid and 
tremors pass rapidly over It. She seems to 
noflce nothing while in this condition but in 
a few minutes seems better and tries to rise. 
She seems very weak and suffers considerable 
pain apparently. In 10 to 15 minutes she is 
well again and eats heartily. At first, we 
thought indigestion might be the cause, but 
in every other way she is apparently all 
right. Her milk is regular, cream rises well 
and butter comes easily. We feed her good 
wheat bran and cornmeal mixed and she has 
had during the Winter fodder, hay, cow peas 
and some millet. This rough feed has been 
changed from time to time, and we are now 
feeding Timothy hay. Her last calf was 
dropped last May. s. h. w. 
West Virginia. 
You say that this cow was taken ill 
last November. Was there anything in 
the pasture like wild cherry leaves or any 
other food that she could get of the kind 
that would act on the brain? I see that 
you are feeding millet and Timothy. These 
are two very poor kinds of food for a 
cow. I will suggest that you fatten her 
or replace her with another cow. Will 
any of our readers give their experience 
in the feeding of cow peas?

What Ailed the Colt?—D. W. Canada, 
page 242, described his colt and wanted to 
know what is the matter. I think he weaned 
it too young; it could not digest its food. 
The colt should run with its mother all 
Winter. Colts should not be weaned under 
six months; he should feed oats, bran, corn, 
ground; give it all it will eat. Alix it 
together and give it clover hay. It may 
have worms; if it has the worms'will kill it 
if they are not taken away. I have had 
colts die from worms; if it is pot-bellied 
that is a good sign of worms. Give this 
mixture for worms : One-quarter pound sul¬ 
phur ; one-quarter pound rosin: one-quarter 
pound copperas; two ounces saltpeter. Pul¬ 
verize all together, and give a tablespoonful 
a day in the ground feed. If the colt will 
eat apples put them in the ground feed.

FEEDING CUT HA Y OR STRA W WET 
I see that there is an invitation to write 
experience for The It. N.-Y.; I will accept it. 
For 50 .years I have cut my hay or straw 
for my horses. I am confident it pays. With 
the grains ground, none is swallowed whole. 
The grain being mixed with the cut hay, 
there is better digestion and assimilation. 
The horse can eat his allowance in a short 
time and lie down and rest instead of stand¬ 
ing and pulling hay out of the rack for two 
or three hours. He can be fed at once if 
very warm. He does not get as dry on the 
road or in the field as with dry food. There 
are no had heavy horses. Clear meal can be 
fed without any injury. My plan is to cut 
as I need, wet, and put on the grain and 
feed. I have practiced feeding cattle for 
beef, and they will eat more grain on cut 
hay and do not cloy. I have no trouble to 
get a cow to eat 16 to 20 quarts of meal 
a day. _________ u. s. king. 
HEN INFORMATION WANTED. 
Value of Orpingtons.—A n exhibitor of 
Orpingtons at the recent Boston poultry show 
says: “The Orpington are somewhat larger in 
size than the Rocks or W.vandottes, and are 
much better layers.” I would ask the opinion 
of your hen man as to the correctness of this 
assertion, also the experience of some of your 
readers, who have raised Orpingtons. I have 
had very good egg results with Barred Rocks
