Live Stock and Dairy 
LIVE STOCK IN ORCHARD. 
I do not advise putting in if orchards 
arc to be heavily pastured and tramped 
by a maximum .of cattle, sheep and 
hogs, especially in an orchard of small 
or moderate size. The commercial or¬ 
chard can have some stock in it. Eight 
to 10 hogs per acre, possibly 10 sheep 
per acre, two cows to three acres or one 
horse per acre, but horses will get to 
removing apples from trees. I prefer 
first of all hogs in the orchard, not to 
make a hog pasture out of the orchard, 
but to use the hogs to take up vermin 
and •wormy fruits and they will take up 
lots of them. If there is any trouble 
with hogs tearing up ground too much 
ring them. If they bark, trees their feed 
is deficient, give them wood ashes, soft- 
burned brick, salt, charred wood, inter¬ 
nal doses of turpentine through slops 
twice a week and dip the shotes regular¬ 
ly every two weeks all Summer in some 
commercial dip. So treated, if well fed, 
they are to be used in orchard to graze 
and pasture just enough to develop 
them rapidly and they will treat orchard 
decently then if tligy use it as an after¬ 
noon pasture. Keep them hungry for 
the green pasturage in the orchard and 
when full of that have them hungry for 
their grain food and slops. Be liberal 
with them in matter of grain diet and 
force their growth on Summer grass. 
A 20-acre orchard will easily make good 
pasturage for from 80 to 100 shotes but 
toward Winter gradually restrain their 
freedom as you gather apples and har¬ 
vest orchard crops but be sure to give 
them a chance at all worthless culls and 
windfalls and let them take them up 
quickly before worms escape. 
Sheep have an advantage over hogs 
as they take up more waste and will, 
if wanted, strip ground bare. This is 
not always desirable but last three years 
fungus has been very bad and sheep will 
take up from ground dropping diseased 
leaves and assist to eliminate fungi as 
well as take up all wormy fruit. The 
writer has always used hogs but will 
next season use both hogs and sheep to 
eliminate fungi and Vermin. Spraying is 
more easily made effective in the Spring 
if sources of insects and fungi arc re¬ 
duced to a minimum under trees. Un¬ 
less trees had much age and height I 
would not use cattle in an orchard un¬ 
less, perhaps, Jersey dairy stock. In 
case they-work trees and destroy apples 
they can be hobbled to keep head down. 
In poultry, ducks and geese are most 
effective and aggressive grazers and de¬ 
stroyers of insects and they will take up 
more weeds and waste than any other 
fowls. WM. M. BOMBERGER. 
Iowa. 
Mules, Hogs and Chickens. 
As a fruit grower, three kinds of 
live stock appeal to me, mules, hogs and 
chickens, and a fourth, cows, in only 
such numbers as necessary for a plenti¬ 
ful supply of milk and butter. In our 
experience we have found mules to be 
particularly good for orchard work. 
They are easily trained, respond quick¬ 
ly, and creep around the trees and un¬ 
der the branches, much more readily 
than a horse of corresponding strength. 
In the orchard that is fenced, hogs do 
very well, cleaning up wormy apples, 
and helping to stir the ground; and so 
far as I know, never do any damage to 
the trees. In no instance would I per¬ 
mit a cow to enter an apple orchard, 
unless I considered the cow the es¬ 
sential feature, and had pruned the 
apple trees to a considerable height ac¬ 
cordingly. A cow will do very little 
good in an orchard, unless sod treat¬ 
ment is practiced, which in itself I con¬ 
sider wrong. Besides this, I have 
watched cows among apple trees, and 
they seem to spend considerable part 
of their time rubbing against branches 
to rid themselves of flics, resulting in 
destroying fruit spurs to much more 
than the value of the cow in a short 
time. I have great faith in poultry, 
especially for eggs, and I know of 
several Hocks of considerable size living 
in apple orchards, where they do Very 
well; and I believe, are very helpful 
to the trees by destroying insects.

AILING ANIMALS. 
Garget. 
We have a cow live years old, giving 
about five quarts of milk at" a milking. We 
feed her all the Timothy hay she will eat, 
and a water bucket full of nubbins or 
broken ears of corn twice a day. Can you 
tell me the cause of her having lumps in 
her milkV A. B. C. 
Missouri. 
Lumps in milk indicate garget (inflam¬ 
mation of the udder) and indigestion from 
improper feeding may be a cause. Stop 
feeding nubbins and Timothy hay and sub¬ 
stitute a ration of bran, cornmeal, flaxseed 
meal and hominy or gluten meal, along with 
mixed hay. Or give any good milk-making 
ration of food such as your dairymen neigh¬ 
bors find profitable in your particular dis¬ 
trict. Massage the udder thoroughly twice 
a day and then rub with warm, melted 
lard. Protect udder against bruising on 
stall floors. Give cow half an ounce of 
granular hyposulphite of soda night and 
morning in her feed or drinking water un¬ 
til the milk clears up. a. s. a. 
Arsenic for Horses. 
I often see advice from veterinarian con¬ 
cerning the use of Fowler's solution of ar¬ 
senic for horses. Is there any harmful ef¬ 
fect from the use of the solution mentioned, 
or in plainer words, does it hurt the lungs 
of a horse to give him arsenic for a while 
and then discontinue the use ot It, or after 
it is once begun, is it necessary to continue 
to give the arsenic? G. W. H. 
Maryla nd. 
' Arsenic is excellent for ailments of the 
breathing apparatus and especially for 
“heaves” (emphysema of the lungs). It also 
is an effective medicine for chronic diseases 
of the skin, not due to parasites. When 
arsenic has been given in sufficient quanti¬ 
ties and for a time long enough to obtain 
the results desired the animal will “go 
back" or fall away in flesh or plumpness if 
the arsenic is suddenly discontinued. For 
that reason it has to be gradually discon¬ 
tinued. and then no ill results follow. It 
is not necessary to give the medicine right 
along. a. s. a. 
Cow with Fractured Tibia. 
I have a grade Jersey cow, nine years 
old, that broke her thigh half way between 
hock joint and thigh joint. A veterinary 
was called : lie advised me not to kill her 
as her chances to get well were good,* al¬ 
though she would surely be lame. She was 
in good milking order when hurt, is due to 
be fresh early in April. I have her in a 
roomy warm shed with ground floor, dry 
and well littered. Her feed since hurt is 
mostly beets and potatoes, with a small 
feed of hay or fodder and a little cornmeal 
twice a week in which she gets one-quarter 
pound of halt. She moves herself around 
on the well side by using her fore legs but 
has not stood up since the first day. This 
is now the twenty-fifth day. The treatment 
has been, first day. tincture cant haridcs 
and hot applications. After that iodine and 
Columbian spirits for 10 days, using it once 
a day. After 10 days used a solution of 
sugar of lead to reduce swelling which is 
not bad now, only where the break is. The 
cow does not seem to feel pain, only when 
she tries to lie, on the hurt side; then she 
shivers, struggles and soon turns back. Her 
appetite is good, eyes bright, coat smooth 
and bowels in good condition. What chance 
has she to get well, or well enough to be 
fattened? What can we do more than we 
have to help with the cure, and what can 
we do to help her on her feet? How long 
before she can stand up without danger of 
breaking the leg over again? t. k. ii. 
Ohio. 
Have another graduate veterinarian see 
the cow and determine whether the broken 
bone has united or not. It should have 
been securely placed in splints and dressings 
from the start, and unless that was done 
we would not think there would be the 
slightest chance of her recovery. Where 
splints are not used tin' fractured ends of 
the bone do not rest sufficiently to unite, 
and if union does not take place a false 
joint forms and the animal afterward is 
useless. If examination shows that the 
bones have not united, possibly the veter¬ 
inarian will not care (o undertake the 
thankless task of setting the bones at this 
late day, and the cow will have to be 
slaughtered. a. s. a.
