AILING ANIMALS. 
Mammitis, 
I bought a .vouug Jersey cow about four 
years old last March.; three weeks after 
she came fresh she was all right, but only 
gave milk from three teats, milk was all 
right until recently. The milk was partly 
thick in one teat in the evening and the 
next morning there was hardly any milk 
at all, the udder swollen very large and 
hard, cow would not eat nor drink, and 
was partly stiff all over the body. The 
cow was kept in good condition till then. 
She is now nine weeks with calf again and 
at the time she became sick she gave niue 
quarts of milk daily. I had a veterinary 
here to see the cow, but he could not find 
out what was the matter. What can I do 
for her? H. k. 
New Jersey. 
The cow has an attack of infective inarn- 
rnitis. Infection perhaps came from the 
first affected quarter. A cow in that con¬ 
dition should not have been bred, and 
she will be sure to have trouble again 
when she calves. She should have been 
fattened off for slaughter, or sold to the 
dealer in “canner” cows. We have little 
hope that udder can be much helped by 
treatment. Foment it with hot water 
twice a day and then rub with a mixture of 
equal parts camphorated oil and fluid ex¬ 
tracts of poke root and belladonna leaves. 
Strip the milk or matter away three times 
a day. a. s. a. 
Partial Paralysis. 
I have a sow pig one year old, lame in 
hind legs, seems to be left hip. She had 
10 good pigs the first of July, being then 
10 months old; had a large flow of milk. 
I took away two pigs when four weeks 
old, in a few days took one away, again an¬ 
other, and in about a week took four away, 
leaving two with her until now. When I 
took the four away the lameness came on. 
She was very lame, could not get up alone, 
and seemed to hurt terribly when helped. 
She is breaking out in sores. I have given 
her sulphur and charcoal and a very few 
wood ashes. For feed I have been giving 
her cooked potatoes and middlings. Will, 
you tell me what ails her and what to do 
for her? A. M. p. 
Maine. 
Some nervous, fat, pampered sows of 
large breeds tend to become paralyzed in 
hind parts when irritated by the sucking 
of pigs. This form of nervous disorder 
and paralysis is termed “parturient eclamp¬ 
sia. - ’ We have seen much of it in sows, 
and it is more easily prevented than cured. 
Prevention comes from making brood sows 
live an outdoor life and keeping them by 
exercise and proper feeding in muscular 
condition and with bowels acting freely at 
all times. Avoid corn feeding and pam¬ 
pering for brood sows. You do not say 
where the sores come. If they are on the 
udder we suspect that she suffered from 
garget (mammitis) when the pigs were 
removed. Stop feeding potatoes. Physic 
her with four ounces of epsom salts in 
warm water or slop and once daily mix 
two ounces of raw linseed -oil in her slop 
until the bowels are moving freely and 
she is able to get about again. Apply ben- 
zoated oxide of zinc ointment to all sores 
once daily. Make her take abundant exer- j 
cise on grass. A. s- a. 
Bone Tumor. 
I have a colt affected as follows. When 
three weeks old its dam stepped on inside 
of foreleg above knee, causing a severe 
swelling of muscles and lump on bone. 
The constant application of liniment and 
plenty' of rubbing will hold swelling in 
check, but if neglected for a few days it 
will appear again. There seems to be no 
fracture, but a small hard adhesion to 
bone that I am unable to lessen by above 
treatment. H. W. B. 
Arkansas. 
It is quite unlikely that any application 
will remove the enlargement as it seems 
to involve the bone. In such cases there 
always is a probability that pus may form 
and discharge, and if that happens it is 
often necessary to scrape the injured bone 
or remove fractured flakes of bone. Re¬ 
move the hair and paint enlargement with 
tincture of iodine every other day until 
the skin becomes sore, at which stage dis¬ 
continue treatment for a time. Use the 
iodine again later on when the skin will 
stand it, unless the lump has been re¬ 
absorbed. A. s. A. 
Stiff Cow. 
I have a fine milch cow six years old. 
She calved four weeks ago, and did all 
right every way. She gives a lot of milk. 
Her calf was poor when dropped, but soon 
became very fat. A few days after calv¬ 
ing she became stiff in her legs and back, 
could not get up and down easily, but still 
ate well and did not seem sick, and still 
gives a lot of milk. She had the hollow 
tail, and her horns were cold. I split her 
tail and bored her horns, but she still 
stayed stiff and is stiff yet. What tan I j 
do for her, and what do you think is her 
trouble? Do you think cows have the hol¬ 
low horn? T. E. E. 
North Carolina. 
All adult cattle have hollow horns. There 
is no such disease as hollow horn and 
there never was and never will be a case 
of “wolf in the tail - ’ or necessity of split¬ 
ting the tail open and inserting medicines. 
Reliefs in such myths savors of the dark 
ages. The cow no doubt caught cold after 
calving and should have had hot drinks 
with stimulants, blanketing and careful 
feeding. Give her half a dram of quinine dis¬ 
solved in two drains of tincture of iron 
and administered twice daily in a pint of 
gruel containing a few ounces of whisky. 
Increase to three doses daily if found 
necessary. Feed her well. a. s. a. 
Sores on Cow. 
What is the matter with my cow? She 
had two round sores the size of a half 
dollar on either side of her udder, both in 
the same place. The veterinary thought it 
was a snake bite, and I treated for that to 
no avail. Now she has eight sores like’ 
the first two. They are all over her body 
and seem to annoy, especially while milk¬ 
ing. She has been sprayed daily with a 
solution of ereolin, but the cow is not any 
better. I consulted the veterinary about 
her food and he said it was all right. B. h. 
New York. 
Cleanse the sores by scrubbing and scrap¬ 
ing. Then rub in iodine ointment each 
other day. We take the sores to be from 
ringworm. a. s. a.
