TWO AILING COWS. 
Inflamed Udder. 
I have a cow with her third calf (the 
latter now five weeks old) with one-quarter 
of the udder somewhat enlarged, which is 
hard. There is no fever apparent, no ob¬ 
struction to the teat, and the How of milk 
is good, but not in proportion to the others. 
This quarter was in such a condition when 
she calved, and with some fever. 1 have 
been bathing with hot water and rubbing 
with vaseline, which has reduced it, but the 
hardness in bag still continues. w. a. it. 
Forest Depot, Ya. 
Your treatment has been good, but if 
the case continues obstinate apply tur¬ 
pentine and lard, one-third turpentine, 
two-thirds lard. Warm the lard until they 
mix. Spend 10 minutes before applica¬ 
tion working that quarter with the hand, 
not harshly, of course. If the enlarge¬ 
ment is finally reduced so that it is only 
slightly apparent good judgment probably 
would not try to go further. Slightly 
enlarged tissue may not do any harm, 
while an effort entirely to remove it 
might create inflammation. 
A Case of Garget. 
About three weeks ago I had a cow (hat 
began to give highly colored milk from one 
back teat, and the milk soon became watery, 
with greasy lumps in it. Since that time 
one of (he other teals has been affected the 
same way. 1 think there is a very little 
hardness in the udder, otherwise it is not 
swollen or inflamed. We have now another 
cow afflicted the same way. I. have given 
saltpeter in similar cases with good results, 
but it does not seem to do any good this 
time. The cows are both apparently well. 
Ballston, N. Y. J. E. it. 
The trouble would seem to be garget, 
which does not affect the whole system. 1 
they were made. They arc secured with 
the ordinary ice box fastener, two on the 
lower doors, one on the upper doors. Two 
feet wide and three feet high makes a sat¬ 
isfactory door. I have never known of 
iron pipe being used for hoops. I can see 
no reason why it could not be, although 
there would be no economy in its use. On 
account of its tubular form it is not easily 
bent. If it is pipe that has been used and 
has no value I would chance it. Be sure 
in making the couplings to have them 
screwed full into the thimble. 
_H. E. COOK; 
DRY MASH FOR POULTRY. 
We use boxes four feet long, eight 
inches wide, three to four inches deep. 
The cover is made of two-inch strips with 
slats two to three inches apart and the 
two-inch strips lap over the edges just 
enough to prevent the birds from throw¬ 
ing the food out. This is for outside 
feeding in dry weather. F. c. c. 
The dry mash is giving good results in 
this locality and the best device for feeding 
is built like most poultrymen feed shell 
and grit, only a little larger. Trough is a 
sort of self-feeding arrangement. It can 
be placed against the side of building or 
fence, and the chickens can only get their 
head in and eat the feed as it comes down 
from the upper part through an inch-open¬ 
ing the whole length of trough. The 
flange prevents the fowls from throwing 
feed out with their bills. The lid keeps 
the grain dry. It can be built any length ; 
three or four feet is about right, by 18 
inches high. c. H. zimmer. 
New York. 
have had the same trouble, and thought at 
times it was due partly at least to harsh 
manipulation of the teat. Cows vary 
greatly in the structure of the udder tis¬ 
sue, and some are exceedingly delicate. 
Harsh handling is sure to aggravate what 
otherwise might pass without loss. I am 
milking a cow now that has occasional 
trouble of this kind in one teat. She gives 
yearly over 10,000 pounds, and I am ex¬ 
ercising great care in milking. She will 
lose the teat some time, but I want to keep 
it in order as long as possible. Saltpeter 
is good for true garget, where the whole 
system is fevered, but I have found it 
much less effectual when the trouble 
seemed local. Are these cows fed a nor¬ 
mal ration? Do they have salt? Do they 
lie on a platform too short? Are their 
udders large and meaty, so that injury 
conies from the cow herself? If the 
trouble continues call a veterinary. 
H. E.. COOK. 
I have never tried dry feeding, so I can¬ 
not give you any information. I believe 
my father has been using dry feed all 
Summer, and I know that I have gathered 
more eggs according to the number of 
hens I have than he has. He seems to 
think perhaps the difference of labor 
would offset the difference in number of' 
eggs, but I cannot say I agree with him 
on that. I feel that since I have been here 
and had my hens handy and nearby where 
I could spend more time with them I have 
gathered more eggs according to number 
of fowls than ever before. From my 830 
hens I have sold since January 1 to Au¬ 
gust 1, 5,500 dozen eggs, which I am afraid 
would not have been increased had I fed 
dry feed. The 11 chicks I wrote you of in 
February or March are living, but two. 
I have five pullets and four cockerels, and 
on July 14 one pullet laid her first egg; 
now three arc laying. j. E. mapes.

DOORS FOR THE SILO. 
I expect to put up a 10 x 30-foot stave 
silo, and would be very glad if Mr. Cook 
would give more explicit, directions than I 
have yet seen for hanging the doors on the 
outside of the silo. How are they cut out 
of the silo? Are the edges beveled, or square? 
What kind and size hinges, and how heavy 
iron for fastenings? What size doors? I 
have a lot of inch iron pipe. It is in 10- 
foot lengths. Could I use this for hoops? 
Lawyersvllle. N. Y. J. n. s. 
After the silo is up cut out the bottom 
door with a bevel one inch wider on each 
side of the outside than upon the inside 
of the silo. These staves will make the 
door above by cutting- the opening the 
thickness of the saw kerf smaller all the 
way around. This same plan will work 
all the way up. Use new stuff for the 
first door and the waste will be light. I 
used heavy door hinges made of five-six¬ 
teenths iron 1 y 2 inch wide forged to fit the 
circle and be full width of door. A bolt 
was put through each stave. On the in¬ 
side of the door I used a strap of heavy 
band iron running the width of the door 
directly opposite the strap hinge, which 
served as a washer, and also prevented the 
bolts from wearing in the soft pine, there¬ 
by permitting the door to lose its true 
form, and of course not shut tight. My 
doors are as perfect in form as the day
