be disinfected before be handles any of 
the stock, even if he is known to come 
from a clean farm. As vermin, dogs, 
birds, running water, manure, feed and 
like products of farms, also carry disease 
germs, care must be taken, so far as pos¬ 
sible, to guard against danger from these 
sources. The new-bought cow. and every 
new-bought animal, should, in addition, 
be quarantined until known to be five 
from contagious disease. By these meas¬ 
ures, carefully followed, udder diseases, 
among other ailments, may be greatly les¬ 
sened upon the dairy farm.

Can you give me any advice on what ! 
to do for ray young stock? I have lost 
two heifers, one two-year-old, one one- 
year-old. They had bloody scours and in 
spite of all I could do both died, sick 
about one week. j. m.

Anthrax is to be suspected as the 
cause of death. It is a contagious, in¬ 
curable and fatal disease. A few ani¬ 
mals recover. It is contracted on low wet 
pastures, usually after a heavy rain fol¬ 
lowing prolonged drought. It is com- | 
munieable and fatal to man in the form 
of “malignant pustule” commonly con¬ 
tracted when skinning a carcass. Flies

With thirty common cow*, eno.h giving 3000 
pound;, of milk per year, introduce a purebred 
registered Holsiein bull. In two years you will be 
milking grade Holsieins yielding with’ tirst calf 
4,000 to 5,000 pounds. In 5 years you’ll have 0000 
pound cows and will need to keep only fifteen cows 
to get the same amount of milk. In seven years, 
you’ll have 8.000 lo 10,000 pound cows and a ten-cow 
nerd will produce s.s much milk as your thirty 
cows do now. Quite a saving in labor, feed anil 
equipment to say nothing of the increased value of 
your cows and calves. Investigate the big"Blaek-

“Meridale Facts” 
147 cows in the Meridale Herd average 7994 lbs. milk, 
51S lbs. butter, in yearly authenticated test work, con¬ 
ducted under the Register of Merit rules of the 
American Jersey Cattle Club. 78# of them qualified for 
Class AA. indicating that they performed under normal 
conditions the normal functions of both lactation and 
motherhood. 
The average yearly yield of tested Meridale Jerseys has 
increased 1045 lbs. milk, 104 lbs. butter, per cow, in six 
years’ work.

cleanliness of the stable, the udder and 
the milker. Stable floors must be kept 
clean to avoid germs, and as fresh air 
and direct sunlight kill germs these must 
have free entrance in every sanitary 
stable. Dirty floors contaminate the 
teats and udder. In time the tip of a 
teat becomes sore, and that sore teems 
with germs, and they are easily carried 
from it into the udder. The milker’s 
hands also carry such germs from cow to 
cow. as they do the virus of cowpox and 
of contagious mammitis. If one picks 
the scab off the sore, to make milking 
possible, inflammation spreads and the 
condition aggravates. Soon it becomes 
necessary to use a milking tube and the 
tube, unless carefully sterilized by boiling 
for 15 minutes or more each time before 
use, is certain to carry the germs into the 
udder, causing more difficult milking, or 
closure of the teat, or ruinous mammitis. 
In addition to cleanliness of the stall 
floors, and that should include the use of 
disinfectants, limewash of land plaster 
and clean bedding, the milker must keep 
his hands well washed and his finger nails 
short, else he will be likely to spread dis¬ 
ease. lie will be most likely to if lu 
neglect to cleanse the udder and teats 
with a clean, damp cloth before he starts 
to milk. That always should be done. 
If a sore forms on the end of a teat 
soak the teat twice daily in a warm sat¬ 
urated solution of boric acid, then swab 
the sore with tincture of iodine once 
daily, and be careful to sterilize the milk¬ 
ing tube, if one must be used. Milk such 
a cow last, and always isolate any cow 
that has anything the matter with her 
udder. If cowpox starts, isolate, milk 
last, wash the hands before milking each 
cow, and treat the udder as follows: 
Twice daily wash it with a lotion com¬ 
posed of half an ounce of granular hypo¬ 
sulphite of soda and a quart of soft water, 
and each night apply a mixture of equal 
parts of best hay rum and glycerine. Tf 
any sore proves obstinate in healing, 
swab it with tincture of iodine every 
other day and twice daily paint it with 
glvcerite of tannin. 
If growths occur far up in a teat better 
dry off the milk flow. If they are near 
the tip of the teat they may be cut out by 
a veterinarian, or he may slit through 
them, in four different directions, by 
may carry the disease to horses. Swine 
and sheep also suffer from anthrax. It 
is a disease to be reported to the State 
veterinarian, who will take charge in case 
an outbreak occurs. Notify him at once 
if you have another case. Meanwhile 
keep cattle off low pastures, if you have 
been using such. Any irritant in feed 
may also cause blood in the manure, but 
such cases do not prove so rapidly fatal.

Thumps in Pigs. 
I have some pigs about four weeks old, ! 
which I am losing; they seem to be short 
of breath ; their sides go in and out, the 
mouth sometimes wide open, or in other 
words, they pant. They appear soft; 
along toward the last they become weak, 
also reel, and soon they die- Can you give 
me some idea as to what the cause is and 
a remedy for same? Do you think worms 
can be killed in pigs, the intestinal 
worms, by feeding sulphur? c. E. h. 
New York. 
The symptoms indicate thumps, which 
is due to overfeeding and lack of exer¬ 
cise. Allow the pigs free range. Feed 
light slop and in it mix a little raw lin¬ 
seed oil to move the bowels freely. The 
badly affected pigs probably are beyond 
hope. Treatment would consist in giving 
a physic and following with small doses 
of paregoric to stop the jerking. Preven¬ 
tion is all important. The disease will 
not attack pigs that are made to take 
plenty of exercise every day, and that are 
fed mixed rations. The nursing sow 
should not be stuffed on corn, or fed j 
heavily on any rich feed, and should be | 
made to take abundant exercise. A. S. A. j

Mule With Indigestion. 
I have a mule that has apparently been 
unwell for about four weeks ; refuses grain, 
will take a small amount of bran and has 
appeared abnormally fond of salt; will 
eat clover hay. He has eaten the rungs 
out of his rack and bitten off pieces of 
wood elsewhere. Ilis nose and tip of 
ears always have fever. For the last two 
days has a gathering, or sac, between 
the front legs. Ilis legs are not stocked, 
abdomen quite large, bowels loose. Could 
it he Bright’s disease? d. k. s. 
Pennsylvania. 
The symptoms indicate indigestion and 
the mule may also have worms or disease 
of the liver. Probably he has been over¬ 
fed and under-exercised. Work him light¬ 
ly or enforce abundant exercise every day. 
Feed whole oats, wheat bran and good 
mixed hay. Night and morning give half 
an ounce of Fowler’s solution of arsenic, 
one dram of fluid extract of nux vomica 
and two drams of fluid extract of gentian 
root in a little water. Increase to three 
such doses a day if found necessary.

means of a sterilized teat bistoury, or use 
a sharp, cone-shaped instrument to pull 
downward and scrape off the little 
growths. Such growths often cause blood 
in milk. 
If a cow suddenly has an attack of gar¬ 
get, the milk of one quarter changing in 
quantity, quality and consistency, or 
changing to whey containing curds, milk 
her three times a day. after placing in 
quarantine, and at least twice a day fo¬ 
ment the udder with hot water for half 
an hour and massage at the same tim<>; 
then rub well with a mixture of one part 
each of fluid extract of poke root and 
belladonna leaves and six parts of warm, 
melted lard, or sweet oil. Internally give 
a physic first, such as a pound of epsom 
salts in three pints of warm water, and 
follow with a tablespoonful each of pow¬ 
dered poke root and powdered saltpeter in 
water once or twice daily, according to 
the severity of the case. If the udder 
remains enlarged and hard rub it twice 
daily with a mixture of equal parts of 
mercurial ointment and soft soap or lard, 
and if that fails use full strength mercu¬ 
rial ointment once daily. Most can be 
done for a garget case in the first 48 hours 
of treatment. If the trouble becomes 
chronic the affected quarter will prove un¬ 
profitable and the cow might as well be 
sold to the butcher.
