AILING ANIMALS. 
Urticaria in Pigs. 
I had five May pigs. When about five 
months old they became sick, refused to 
eat. Pigs were fed whey, hominy meal 
and white middlings, with some corn in 
the ear. When first taken the pigs 
lay around and when roused would 
stagger about and soon lie down again. 
Finally their ears turned purple, also 
purple rash on hams and bellies. Later 
red blotches covered with deep seated 
scabs appeared on backs and sides. One 
pig finally died. The others seemed bet¬ 
ter and began to eat. In about three 
weeks they again began to stagger and 
fall, and were covered with red scabs and 
the purple rash appeared on two of 
them. Is there any cure for them and 
what was the matter? F. S. B. 
Bethel, N. Y. 
The disease is urticaria, also called 
nettlerash or surfeit, or “diamond dis¬ 
ease,” the spots on the skin having that 
shape. It is due to indigestion, from sud¬ 
den changes of feed, or indigestible feed, 
or too much feed and too little exercise. 
It is somewhat akin to “hives” of chil¬ 
dren. One has to find and remove the 
cause, increase exercise, decrease feed 
and physic the affected animals with ep- 
som salts in slops or water. In bad 
cases feed milk and middlings, made into 
a light slop, to which add Iimewater at 
the rate of one ounce to the quart of: 
slop. Bathe affected parts of skin with 
a 1-100 solution of coal tar dip, as often 
as found necessary. Provide clean, dry 
beds. . a. s. A. 
Drying Off Cow. 
I have a fine Jersey cow. I expect her 
to come in about February 10. I feed 
only hay, one quart of bran, and a small 
handful of oilmeal so that she drinks 
water. I milk her once a day, but she 
gives 2Yj quarts of milk yet. I don’t 
seem to be able to dry her up. Do you 
think this will harm her milk flow when 
she gets the calf? If I cannot dry her 
up, what feed and how much should I 
give her, so that I do not have to fear 
milk fever? This will be her fourth calf. 
Tallmaus, N. Y. c. R. 
Turn the cow out for abundant exer¬ 
cise every day and stop feeding grain. 
Feed hay, straw and roots. Leave a lit¬ 
tle milk instead of milking her clean and 
after milking rub in a mixture of equal 
parts of camphorated oil and fluid ex¬ 
tract of belladonna leaves. If the udder 
stays sound milk each other day, after a 
few days, and then every three days. 
Great care will have to be taken to milk 
out clean if the udder shows any sign 
of inflammation, and at such times bathe 
three times a day with hot water and i 
then rub in the lotion just prescribed. I 
Milk fever will not attack the cow if you 
make her take plenty of exercise, and . 
do not feed her heavily, but after the 
milk flow ceases it would be well to feed 
bran to regulate the bowels and to add 
flaxseed meal toward calving time. If 
roots are fed it will be less necessary to 
feed bran. A. s. A. 
Indigestion. 
My horse weighs 1.150 pounds and does 
not do any hard work but a drive three 
miles to town every few days. He does 
not have as much life as I think he ought 
to. and does not keep fat. He is eight 
years old; he has some trouble with kid¬ 
neys. Can you give me a ration and cure 
for him? c. W. c. 
The lTbrse is overfed aud under-exer¬ 
cised. When there is no work for him to 
do either enforce ample exercise every 
day or turn him out. During idleness 
stop feeding grain and let him live on 
mixed hay, carrots and bright fodder. 
On work days feed not over one pound of 
whole oats per hundred pounds of body 
weight as a day’s ration, and a like 
amount of hay. If the work is hard add 
one quarter pound of wheat bran, by 
weight, to the oats per hundred pounds 
of body weight, but do not increase the 
hay. The amount of hay may be in¬ 
creased in times of idleness. Add a few 
ears of corn at noon on cold days, in 
place of oats and bran. Have his teeth 
attended to by a veterinarian and if the 
hair of the body is long and coarse clip 
it from the belly and from the legs above 
knees and hocks. Allow free access to 
rock salt. Give the drinking water be¬ 
fore feeding. Medicine should not prove 
necessary. The urine will clear up when 
you feed aud exercise the horse properly.

Garget. 
I have a heifer that is due to freshen 
in February. There is something wrong 
with the right side of her udder; it is 
caked and the front teat on that side 
gives yellow thick milk which has a bad 
smell. What can I do for her? What 
causes it? II. C. A. 
New York. 
Bruising may cause such a condition, 
but in your heifers it is more likely to 
have come from sucking of the udder by 
other calves. That bad habit should be 
prevented at once when noticed. It leads 
to much trouble when cows come in milk 
for the first time. Strip out the fluid 
three times a day and then rub with cam¬ 
phorated oil; but we fear that the quarter 
is permanently ruined. A. S. A.
