Wholesale Prices at New York. 
Week ending Nov. 26, 1915. 
The commercial values of farm pro¬ 
ducts are what they sell for—not neces¬ 
sarily their food value or what some one 
thinks or wishes they were worth. Hence 
representative sales rather than opinions, 
even though unbiased, are the correct 
basis for quotations. Except in cases 
where quality is standardized by scoring, 
the top grade refers to the best on sale 
at the time. The best sheep, lambs, 
apples, pears, etc., one week may be much 
better or poorer than the next.

MILK. 
Cow Leaks Milk. 
Will you tell me whether or not there 
is anything that can be done to prevent 
a cow from leaking her milk? This cow 
is due to calve and she has been leaking 
milk for several days. Iler udder has 
not yet developed to the size it should be. 
Methuen, Mass. F. v. 
Leaking of milk due to relaxation of 
the sphincter muscles at the end of the 
teat is difficult to overcome. Tying a 
wide band gently about the lower end 
of the teat has been suggested, but it 
may easily be drawn so tight as to be 
injurious. Painting the end of the teat, 
while dry, with flexible collodion offers 
as fair a prospect of relief as anything 
that I can suggest; perhaps the veterin¬ 
arians know of more effective remedies. 
M. B. D. 
The Borden contract prices for the six 
months beginning with October are based 
on the fat content of the milk, there being 
a difference of 00 cents per 100 pounds 
between three and five per cent. fat. The 
price increases uniformly three cents per 
100 pounds for every tenth of one per 
cent, fat increase. Following are the 
prices within the 100-mile shipping zone. 
Outside points receive 10 cents per 100 
pounds less.

BUTTER. 
A decided scarcity of the better grades 
of fresh creamery has put the price up 
another cent. As is usual before Thanks¬ 
giving the demand has increased, and 
shipments have come slowly, owing to 
the large amount of poultry on the rail¬ 
roads. The best qualities of storage are 
being used quite liberally now. The mar¬ 
ket for city made and packing stock is 
dull.

Enlarged Gland. 
We have a cow here on the farm that 
has a large bunch on her jaw. It extends 
from under her ear to the under side of 
her head nearly to her mouth. What 
would you call such a bunch, the cause 
and the remedy for it? She is a good 
cow and we do not wish to lose her if we 
can help it. L. b. t. 
New York. 
The parotid gland is enlarged and the 
cause may be either tuberculosis or acti¬ 
nomycosis (lump-jaw). Have the cow 
tested with tuberculin and if she proves 
to have tuberculosis she should be de¬ 
stroyed. If she does not react to tuber¬ 
culin swab the enlargement once daily 
with tincture of iodine and have it opened 
if it softens and contains pus. The vet¬ 
erinarian may also prescribe a course of 
iodide of potash, if the cow is not in calf. 
A. s. A. 
Lice. 
Can you tell me a good way to rid cat¬ 
tle of lice? I know many things that are 
recommended but most of them are ex¬ 
pensive and with little results if any. 
New York. ‘ g. ar. 
A nearby herd of cattle all have lice 
very badly. The calves have the small 
gray ones and the cows the large blue 
ones. We have tried sheep dips and other 
kinds of lice liquids. They go away for 
a while and then come back. What can 
be done? A. w. 
Pennsylvania. 
The reason for failure to exterminate 
lice in many instances is that the stables 
are not made sanitary. They should be 
perfectly ventilated, and lighted, then dis¬ 
infected, fumigated and whitewashed. The 
lice on stock may be killed by repeated 
application of a 1-30 solution of coal tar 
dip and it also is well to dust freely with 
sulphur or mix sulphur with the dip solu¬ 
tion. a. s. A. 
EGGS 
The week has brought very little 
change other than a rather firmer feeling 
in the better grades of storage. There is 
less prejudice against cold storage eggs 
than formerly, as buyers have found that 
many of them are better than the best 
gathered stock. It all depends on what 
the eggs were when stored and under 
what conditions they have been held. 
They may come out after several months 
not. noticeably different from when stored, 
or they may be shrunken, musty or other¬ 
wise off. As a general term cold storage 
means very little to those who know eggs, 
and there is no reason for prejudice 
against it. Some of the worst eggs re¬ 
ceived are those gathered in grocery 
stores, where they stand for a week or 
two exposed to tobacco smoke, or to the 
salt mackerel, red herring, kerosene, etc., 
atmosphere of the store back room.

DRESSED POULTRY. 
The Thanksgiving trade wound up with 
a heavy surplus of thin turkeys, not good 
enough to store. In the effort to clear out 
this inferior stock very low prices-—down 
to 14 cents—were made. The highest 
price heard of was 32 cents, for some 
fancy Maryland. The range for most 
choice birds was 27 to 30 cents, aud me¬ 
diums averaged around 25. The weather 
was generally favorable, so that less poul¬ 
try was condemned than is often the case. 
The warning printed last week will bear 
repetition: Do not wrap dressed poultry 
with newspaper , as it is likely to be con¬ 
demned by the health authorities, and he

Mammitis. 
I would like you to tell me what is 
the trouble with our cow and the treat¬ 
ment to cure her. In the Winter at 
times the milk in one of her teats thick¬ 
ens and gets stringy. It seems she catch¬ 
es cold in this teat. About a week ago 
during a hot spell her udder became fe¬ 
vered, and this teat and side of udder 
became swollen, the milk thick and 
stringy. The milk would not keep over 
night. The milk is somewhat better now 
and the cow is now eating better. 
Virginia. w. H. 
The cow suffers from chronic mammitis 
(garget) and it possibly is due to tuber¬ 
culosis of the udder, so that she should 
be tested with tuberculin as soon as the 
weather becomes cool. Meanwhile milk 
her three times a day and so far as pos¬ 
sible protect the udder against bruising 
in the stable. Each night rub the udder 
with warm melted lard. At time of at¬ 
tack give her a tablespoonful each of 
powdered poke root and saltpeter in 
water or feed once daily and if found 
necessary increase to two such doses a 
day. Continue the medicine each time 
until the attack subsides. At such times 
also rub the udder twice daily with a 
mixture of one part each of fluid extracts 
of poke root and belladonna leaves and 
six parts of warm sweet oil or melted 
lard. If improvement does not follow 
better sell her to the butcher, provided 
she is free from tuberculosis. a. s. a.
