Concrete for Milk-room Floor. 
I am fitting up a milk room in an out¬ 
building which has a single floor about 
two feet from the ground. Would you 
advise laying an inch of concrete made of 
Portland cement over this? How should 
it be mixed, and should it be put on wet 
or dry boards? Is there any other pre¬ 
paration that would be better? 
Stoneham, Mass. j. p. ir. 
Thin concrete floors an inch or more in 
thickness are successfully laid over 
wooden ones, but it is essential that the 
wood floor should be very rigid as a thin 
layer of concrete is easily cracked if al¬ 
lowed to spring. Such a floor should be 
reinforced with close mesh wire netting, 
and made from a comparatively rich mix- 
lure of concrete. Floors in ordinary out 
buildings are not apt to be suitable for 
such work, and unless this one is very 
rigid, or can be made so by supporting 
the floor joists from underneath, you 
would probably find it better to remove 
the old floor and fill tip the space beneath 
with large stones and lay your concrete 
floor upon that foundation. Ordinarily, 
this is easily done, and there can then be 
no question about the success of the 
job. M. B. D. 
Garget. 
I have a two-year-old Holstein heifer 
with a calf nine days obi. Before calving 
her udder was much enlarged and very 
hard. I gave her salts, put lard and tur¬ 
pentine on udder before and after calv¬ 
ing, and gave her saltpeter after; fed 
her lightly of hay and stalks, milked her 
about half clean. She gave bloody milk 
from all teats. I milk her clean now, 
but milk is a little bloody. Blood settles 
to bottom of pan. What is tin' trouble 
and what should be done? Will the 
trouble pass away after the udder be¬ 
comes normal, which is nearly so now? 
Will it be safe to use the milk? 
A. D. W. 
Acute congestion of the udder has been 
present and it led to rupture of smail 
blood vessels, causing the presence of 
blood in the udder. It would seem that 
she is gradually recovering as you gave 
correct treatment. The milk may be used as 
soon as it is perfectly normal. Foment 
the udder with hot water three times a 
day. Massage well each time. At night 
rub in a mixture of one part of mercurial 
ointment and two parts of soft soap. 
Give her a dram of saltpeter twice daily 
in water. Feed lightly. Keep her off 
grass for the present. A. s. A. 
Breeding an Old Mare. 
I have a valuable mare weighing 1,200, 
coming 26 this Spring. At the ages of 
19 and 20 she foaled two perfectly formed 
and desirable mare colts to a large well- 
bred Percheron stallion. This Spring I 
wish to breed her to a trotting horse 
about her build and temperament. Sev¬ 
eral local horsemen advise against it on 
account of the mare's age. She is in 
good flesh and spirits. I would like the 
advice of some experienced breeder. 
Pennsylvania. M. M. D. 
The mare should have been bred from 
each season after producing a foal at 20 
years of age. She may not now conceive 
if bred, but as she is in good condition 
and health there should be no particular 
danger in having her bred, or in the pro¬ 
duction of a foal. There are many cases 
on record of successful foaling in a mare 
of her age. A. S, A. 
Nasal Gleet. 
I have a mare that has a roaring in 
the head and sometimes runs freely at the 
nose. If I feed her on dusty feed she has 
a bad cough ; if she gets wet the roaring 
is worse. She has been this way five or 
six years, only gets worse all the time. 
She is now in foal. Can you tell me 
what to do for her? w. w. P. 
Maryland. 
Nasal gleet or chronic catarrh in such 
cases may be due to glanders, so that the 
first stop should be to have an exam¬ 
ination made by a graduate veterinarian. 
If glanders is not present he may find 
that the discharge is due to a tumor 
(polypus) in a nostril, or to a diseased 
molar tooth, or associated with a col¬ 
lection of pus in a sinus of the skull. 
These conditions are remediable by op¬ 
eration. Such a case cannot be success¬ 
fully treated by the owner. A. S. A. 
Periodic Ophthalmia. 
Could you tell me what ails our horse 
and suggest a remedy? A few days ago 
I noticed the tears coming out of his 
eye, and it was feverish and swollen, 
especially, just above the eyelid. He 
seems to be losing his sight in that eye. 
Ohio. a. F. 
This disease (moon blindness) is in¬ 
curable and results in blindness from 
cataract after successive attacks. Blind¬ 
ness may be somewhat retarded by bath¬ 
ing the eyes twice daily with a saturated 
solution of boric acid, applied each time 
on fresh swabs of absorbent cotton. At 
time of attack give a dram of iodide of 
potash in the drinking water night and 
morning until the attack subsides. At 
such times also keep the eye covered with 
a soft cloth to be kept wet with a lotion 
composed of 10 drops of carbolic acid and 
half a dram each of sulphate of zinc and 
fluid extract of belladonna leaves in a 
quart of soft, cold water. A. s. A. 
Thin Mare. 
I have a large mare that is due to 
foal early in June. She is getting very 
poor, and is losing strength. I am feed¬ 
ing her six quarts of whole oats and a 
little wheat each day. She does not eat 
much hay and sometimes leaves her grain. 
Gan you tell me what I can do for her? 
I am not working her and letting her run 
out of doors all day. m. j. k. 
New York. 
• 
Do not feed wheat to a horse. It is 
highly indigestible to these animals and 
may be a partial cause of the thin condi¬ 
tion. Substitute one-ninth part of wheat 
bran with the whole oats and add good 
mixed hay in addition to grass. Have 
her teeth attended to by a veterinarian 
who should make sure, by examination, 
that the colt is not dead and retained.

Quantity of production and persistency of 
milking during long periods arc well-known 
characteristics of Holsteins. Dropping her 
first calf at about two years old the average 
COW, it' well cared for. will produce from 5,000 
to fi.roo pounds of milk in ten months, and 
she will increase the production every year 
until, at five years, she will give from 7,000 to 
9,000 pounds. 
If fed to their ability to digest and assimi¬ 
late food, many Holsteins will exceed this 
production.
