AILING ANIMALS 
Prolapse of Rectum. 
I have some shotes suffering from pro¬ 
trusion of rectum. They are four months 
old. I am feeding them two parts shorts 
and three parts oats, and a little linseed 
meal. I had some a year ago afflicted 
the same way. I fed rye, and the doctor 
told me that the rye was the cause of it, 
and that there is no cure. Will you ad¬ 
vise me? r. m. 
Pennsylvania. 
Omit oats, as they may be irritating 
the bowels. Crushed oats are most liable 
to do this, if the hulls are not removed 
by screening. Add cornmeal to the ra¬ 
tion, in place of oats. Cleanse the pro¬ 
truded parts, then dust with freshly 
powdered ergot and return to place. Re¬ 
peat the application as often as found 
necessary. Give each pig a teaspoonful 
of sulphur once daily until well.

Cowpox. 
I have a two-year-old cow that dropped 
a calf three weeks ago. About two weeks 
before she calved she had a breaking out 
on oue leg composed of rather large pim¬ 
ples containing matter. It healed nicely 
and the calf came properly. About two 
weeks later her udder began to show the 
same sores, also the teats beginning 
with small sections, bunches, and now 
spreading. After the matter is out of 
them, it leaves a long running sore. 
The milk seems to be healthy and 
normal. We have been cleansing and 
bathing her udder and teats and soften¬ 
ing with carbolated vaseline; have also 
given epsom salts. Cow is not so weak 
and will eat and drink now, but we fear 
the sores will spread and want to know 
the disease and remedy. k. M. r. 
New York. 
Isolate the cow and milk her last as the ‘ 
disease is contagious and carried from 
cow to cow by the milker’s hands. Wash 
the udder twice daily with a solution of 
half an ounce of granular hyposulphite 
of soda in a quart of soft water, and then 
apply glycerite of tannin as often as found 
necessary. If any sore proves obstinate 
swab it with tincture of iodine every 
other day. a. s. a. 
Obstructed Teat; Foot-and-mouth Infection. 
1. I have a cow with an obstruction 
at the end of teat. It does not seem to 
be sore, but cannot get any milk without 
using milk tube. Would you advise me 
to use instrument to cut the obstruction? 
2. I have another cow that caught a lit¬ 
tle cold when she freshened. A lump 
formed in her throat about the size of an 
egg at first, but is smaller now. She 
coughs when she drinks water and eats 
grain. 3. As the foot-and-mouth disease 
is getting into Onondaga County, would 
it be advisable to use disinfectants in 
stable? If so what is best to use? 
New York. j. j. b. 
1. A milking tube will in time be al¬ 
most certain to cause ruinous infection of 
the quarter. A sterilized teat bistoury 
should be used to slit through the ob¬ 
struction in four different directions, then 
milk a little oftener to keep the duct open 
during the healing process. 2. Have the 
cows tested with tuberculin as tubercu¬ 
losis is to be suspected. 3. Keep away 
from farms and districts where the dis¬ 
ease exists. Do not use factory skim- 
milk, whey or buttermilk. Coal tar dis¬ 
infectants may be used in the stable. 
Keep the cattle away from roads. Keep 
strangers off the farm. a. s. a. 
Warts. 
I have had four calves now yearlings, 
which when weaned I turned out in my 
orchard to pasture, feeding them more 
or less grain, and allowing them to con¬ 
sume the windfall apples. In the course 
of the season warts developed on the 
neck, and shoulders of a fungus growth, 
which was treated by our veterinarian 
as a disease of the skin, nothing hurtful 
or dangerous, but one of them grew from 
the size of a five-eeut piece to six inches 
in diameter in spite of the most power¬ 
ful medicine he could apply. A second 
veterinarian was called, a recent graduate 
and it was decided to cut the wart off and 
to make it more humane the calf was 
given chloroform, but the calf died from 
the effects of the chloroform. Since, a 
number of the warts developed on all of 
the other three calves. On two we have 
succeeded in keeping the warts so far cut 
off, but on the third one would have to 
skin the calf to get them all off. Now 
two skilled veterinarians say they do not 
know what it is, or what to do for it. 
Can you give the disease, the cause, and 
cure? s. 
Such cases are exceedingly common 
among young cattle, a derangement in 
the nutrition of the skin being present. 
Warts that have narrow necks should 
at once be twisted off and the bleeding 
stopped by applying a hot iron or Mon- 
sel’s solution or powder. Masses of small 
warts will disappear after a time if well 
rubbed with castor oil or fresh goose 
grease once daily or well daubed with 
pine tar twice a month. Where warts are 
general the veterinarian should give Pow¬ 
er’s solution of arsenic in increasing 
doses and may also apply it externally. 
Vitric acid is an effective caustic for a 
arge, obstinate wart. a. s. a.

One double ortwo-cow unit takes

The cows like the sensation 
produced by the natural air pres¬

there is an increase in milk yield.
