MILK STRIPPING FOR TUBERCULOSIS. 
The following treatment has been sug¬ 
gested in cases where the disease has 
not gone too far. A perfectly healthy 
cow is selected, taking one from choice 
which gave very rich milk. 
Mare with Indigestion. 
Can you give me some information in re¬ 
gard to my mare? She sweats on the flank 
on the thin part by her hind leg; seems to 
sweat at night. She is eight years old, and 
is in foal. I think she seems stupid and thin 
in flesh. Can you tell me what to do for 
her? e. m. l. 
Indiana. 
The feed possibly is disagreeing, and a 
change should be made or the amount of 
The last quart should be milked into a 
separate dish which rests in a lax-ger 
vessel containing warm water just sufficient 
to prevent the strippings from cooling below 
blood heat. The cow should be thoroughly 
cleaned to prevent any dirt getting into 
the milk so the patient can blow back the 
froth and drink at once without straining 
as this cools it too much. Begin by drink¬ 
ing nearly a pint in the morning and the 
same at night and increase the quantity 
gradually so that in 10 or 15 days a full 
quart will be taken twice a day. It should 
be taken immediately after milking before 
it lias had time to cool any. All should 
be taken that can be without too much 
discomfort and then rest two or three 
minutes and drink more and rest again, and 
so on until a full quart has been taken as 
soon as it can be conveniently. In about 
fifteen minutes the patient should eat at 
the table such articles of food as are known 
to agree with the stomach. At noon eat as 
usual. When the strippings are not allow¬ 
ed to cool below blood heat and taken im¬ 
mediately after it is milked a full quart 
will lxe transfused into the circulation in 
a remarkably short time. 
We submitted this statement to a suc¬ 
cessful physician of long experience, 
lie never heard of this particular method 
of using the strippings, but says: 
"It is not a cure but a useful form 
of extreme diet. 1 he ordinary way of 
giving it is in a glass of warm or cool 
milk, as the patient likes it, every two 
hours from morning until retiring at 
night, and no other food or drink of 
any kind, not even water. I finally 
refused to let any patient take the “milk 
cure’ - who could not come to my office 
once or twice a week, as many were 
upset by it and required advice and en¬ 
couragement to continue it—the six 
weeks or two months necessary for any 
useful result. For the first week or ten 
days, oh a milk diet, there is usually se¬ 
vere constipation, headache and “general 
misery.” After that all goes well. The 
fat get lean and the lean get fat; strength 
and vigor come and patients say they 
never felt so well and never want any¬ 
thing but milk, but it is a lot of trouble, 
and after a while they break away and 
join the family again at the table. For 
stomach and kidney troubles it is most 
useful.” _ 
Loss of Calves. 
I have four cows, from four to nine 
years old. Two of them recently lost their 
calves, one at five months, tne orner at 
seven months. Once a day I have fed ro.v- 
en, one-half of which is composed of Roman 
wormweed, commonly called ragweed. Might 
this weed have caused the loss? Can any¬ 
one tell? So far as 1 know, I hardly think 
the bull is at fault. o. n. c. 
Granby, Conn. 
I have never heard cases of abortion 
attributed to the fact that the cows had 
eaten our common required. I am in¬ 
clined to think that O. D. C. has had two 
cases of contagious abortion. It would 
surely be the safest way to treat the 
cows as if such were the case, alter 
direction frequently given in the veter¬ 
inary columns of The R. N.-Y.

A Milk Ration. 
Will you tell me in what proportions to 
feed gluten meal and wheat bran to produce 
the most milk, and do no harm to the cows? 
My cows are large purebred Ilolsteins. In 
what proportion can I substitute cotton-seed 
meal for the gluten? How much cotton¬ 
seed meal dare I feed without injuring cows 
five or six months gone in calf? h. p. k. 
Rod Bank, N. .T. 
If LI. P. R. has gluten feed, wheat 
bran, and cotton-seed meal available, I 
should advise him to include all three 
in his ration. I should mix these grains 
in the following proportions: ioo pounds 
cotton-seed meal; 300 pounds gluten 
feed: 300 pounds wheat bran. This 
mixture will contain about 18 per cent 
of digestible protein, and his large Hol¬ 
stein cows, with an average roughage 
ration, will probably need at least 10 
pounds a day of this mixture if they 
are in full flow. I do not consider it 
safe for the average man to feed over 
two pounds a day of cotton-seed meal. 
e. s. B. 
grain reduced and the exercise increased 
daily. See that stable is well ventilated and 
give her a roomy box stall. If the trouble 
continues clip hair from belly to a line with 
strap of breeching and strap of breast collar 
and from there down to knees and hocks. 
Garget. 
A. S. A. 
I recently bought a cow about which I 
would like to have some advice and informa¬ 
tion. She is to be fresh in the Spring, but 
I don't know the exact date. The cow is 
young, milking now from her first calf, but 
is milking from only three teats. What 
can be done to bring the other one into 
condition when she comes fresh again? 
When I bought this cow the teat, and that 
quarter of the udder was small and flabby. 
Now it appears to be tilling out some, and 
from time to time 1 can get a spoonful or 
so of thick ropy milk from it. Should I 
keep this milked out, or let it alone until 
she comes fresh? The person from whom I 
bought her says she did not lose the teat 
from milk fever. Ho also says a cow cannot 
get milk fever until her third time coming 
fresh. Is this so or not? I am feeding a 
cow feed put up by the Grange cooperative 
store containing the following: 100 pounds 
bran; 50 brewers' grains; 50 cotton-seed 
meal: 50 gluten meal; 50 cornmeal : 50 mid¬ 
dlings. 1 am also feeding corn fodder. The 
milk and butter are getting a more and 
more bitter taste. Please advise what to 
do. s. a. x. 
New Jersey. 
Milk out the fluid three times a day and 
then rub the quarter with camphorated oil 
to stop all secretion. The quarter has lost 
its function as the result of an attack of 
garget (mammitisi and cannot be brought 
back to normal production of milk. Cut out 
the cotton-seed meal and brewers' grains 
for the time being and increase the bran. 
Feed mixed clover and Timothy hay, or 
sound Alfalfa hay and a little nicely saved 
corn stover in place of corn fodder which 
may have been frosted or become slightly 
moldy. One cow may be tainting the milk 
of the other's. Keep a sample of milk of 
each cow separate and taste to discover, 
which cow’s milk is bitter. Also scald all 
milk utensils thoroughly and sun dry them 
before use. a. s. a.

Schumacher 
Stock Feed 
The Perfect Ration for all Farm Stock 
The Quaker Oats Co. 
I find Schumacher’s Stock Feed the best feed I 
have ever used for dairy cows. I have used this feed 
since the first of June and find that I can not keep up 
the flow of milk and quality combined on any other 
feed, and have fed very near all that are bn the 
market. 
J. Wilson-Hamllton, Crawford County, Pa. 
The reason Mr. Hamilton is 
able to keep up the quantity 
and quality of his milk with 
Schumacher Stock Feed is be¬ 
cause it is a perfectly balanced 
ration of corn, oats and barley 
products finely ground and 
kiln-dried. It furnishes the 
proper elements of nutrition 
in the proper amounts for 
putting the bodily organism 
of the cow into the best con¬ 
dition to produce more milk 
and of the best quality. That’s 
what you want—quality and 
quantity. Schumacher will 
furnish both.

Granted that you have pood dairy cows, 
comfort and cleanliness are the prime necessities in 
profitable dairying. There is only one way to secure 
complete cleanliness and comfort for your cows, and 
That is the James Way, because 
The James Sanitary Cow Stall 
is the only complete stall made, and it is built with the single 
purpose of keeping cows clean and comlcrtablc and making: 
barn cleaning- easy. 
It includes, besides the James stall proper, the lames Ad¬ 
justable Stanchiou.which lines long and short cows up behind — 
on the gutter, and the James Self-Cleaning Manger, which 
lifts automatically, permitting the sweeping up of all leavings.

plete the equipment that »s endorsed 
in every detail by the highest authon-
