Leaking Teat. 
I S there any help for a cow that is slack 
in her teat? F. B. 
New York. 
If you mean that the teats leak milk 
improvement may take place if you soak 
the teats twice daily in a saturated solu¬ 
tion of alum. If that docs not suffice 
either paint the ends of the teats with 
flexible collodion after milking, or tie 
wide tapes around the teats or put on 
wide, weak rubber bands. Care mint be 
taken not to choke off blood circular.on.

Delaware. 
1. If lameness is absent you might as 
well let the bog spavin alone, as treat¬ 
ment may do little if any good. If lame¬ 
ness is present have the hoclc fired and 
blistered by a graduate veterinarian and 
then tie the horse up for a six weeks 
rest. 2. If you care to send us a de¬ 
scription of the symptoms shown by the 
lame horse we may be able to give advice, 
but cannot do so otherwise. a. s. a. 
Cough. 
1 HAYE two Duroc sows; they are all 
right in every way, only when fed 
slops they cough and one of them 
stops eating. Is that cold or caused by 
swallowing the thin slop, middlings with 
milk or water? J. M. K. 
New York. 
Make the slop just thick enough to 
pour well ; not thin like water or milk. 
Add cornmeal, oatmeal and oil meal to 
the slop. The cough may possibly be in¬ 
duced by the thin slop, but more likely is 
due to lung worms, for which there is no 
specific remedy. Good feeding helps the 
hogs to withstand the trouble. A. S. A. 
Paralysis. 
W E have a sow that had a litter of 
seven fine pigs, Nov. 3, and they 
were doing nicely. Dec. 20 I no¬ 
ticed the sow was ailing; she staggered 
round, and became worse so that she 
could not stand, and I thought she would 
die, but she is still alive and is just get¬ 
ting able to get on her feet. A few days 
ago I noticed one of the little pigs acting 
queer; all of a sudden it would drop 
down, shiver and kick for a few minutes 
and then come natural again. We have 
had two of them this way at one time. 
This morning we found one of them dead. 
The same pig had the attack several 
times. We feed on boiled turnips and 
potatoes mixed with middlings and ear 
corn with what house swill we make and 
a little milk. What is the trouble? 
Massachusetts. L. s. 
This form of paralysis in a sow is 
termed parturient eclampsia and is 
brought on by the drain and strain of 
nursing. The pigs should be weaned at 
once and raised on milk, middlings and 
other meals. The one pig has had in¬ 
digestion from milk disagreeing with the 
stomach. The sow should not have been 
fed boiled turnips and potatoes, and 
should not have had corn. She should 
have had a light slop of mixed meals, 
milk, and Alfalfa hay. The disease at¬ 
tacks pampered sows from pampered 
stock. Stuffing on corn and other rich 
feed and restricting exorcise induces sus¬ 
ceptibility to the trouble. It does not 
attack hogs that are fed mixed rations, 
made to run out daily and not too closely 
in-bred. A. s. A. 
Lameness. 
M Y ) 
horse appears to be very stiff, and 
her joints crack when moving from 
one foot to the other. When back¬ 
ing she jerks her hind feet up suddenly 
instead of picking them up in the usual 
way. In picking her front feet up either 
backward or forward, she appears to get 
cramps in her shoulders and throws her 
weight on her hind feet and crouches al¬ 
most to the ground. It is impossible to 
drive her off a walk; if hit with the whip 
she tries to hop along with her hind feet 
quite well in under her and wide apart, 
limping on the right foreleg. When 
standing at times will bend her knee 
forward. A. o. 
New York. 
Without making an examination we 
are unable to give a perfectly confident 
opinion in this case, but it would seem 
that the horse has chorea (St. Vitus’ 
dance) which is incurable and also has 
been foundered. If chronic founder is 
present and severe the soles of the fore 
feet will be found convex (bulging down¬ 
ward) at the points of the frogs and 
these parts will be so tender that the 
horse will flinch when they are lightly 
tapped with a hammer. If that proves 
to be true have flat bar shoes put on over 
dressings of pine tar and oakum and 
without cutting the sole. When this has 
been done clip the hair from the hoof- 
heads of the fore feet and blister them 
several times with a cantharidine oint¬ 
ment, at intervals of two weeks. Blister 
one foot at a time, the second one a 
week after the first. It would be better 
in this case to have an examination made 
by the local graduate veterinarian.
