Mammitis 
A .Jersey, 10 years old, was all right 
when fresh. Then the two hind quarters 
of her udder became swollen to more 
than twice their normal size and very 
hard. We bathed her with hot water 
and the swelling went down. She did not 
give any milk out of those two quarters 
after that until a short time before we 
dried her off. Later the two hind quar¬ 
ters swelled up again and the swelling 
went out and then the other two qiiarlers 
swelled up. We put the calf with her 
for a while, and the front quarters got 
all right, but the two hind quarters went 
dry. Is her milk good to use, and is 
there anything we can do for her? 
Ohio. A. A. 
Theatment of the hind quarters of the 
udder will do no good iis chronic mam¬ 
mitis is present and it is incurable. Tu¬ 
berculosis of the udder sometimes is 
present in such cases and if so the milk 
is dangerous for man or beast. Have 
her tested with tuberculin and if she 
proves free from tuberculosis she might 
be fattened for the butcher. We scarce¬ 
ly think it will pay to retain her for 
dairying. A. s. A. 
Kicking Cow 
We have a very good Holstein cow, 
about 2f) months old. She freshened 
about one month ago, but the only way 
she can be milked is by tying a rope 
around her, in front of the udder, quite 
tight. We tried tying her hind feet a 
while together,and she would throw her¬ 
self. She gives a*boiit five gallons of milk 
per day. and it is extra rich. Her mother 
was a kicker, but we thought her ruined 
in the breaking, as when she was first 
milked the man tied one foot up as high 
as he could get it to a fence. We bought 
her and kept her nearly two years, but 
always had to tie a rope around her; 
never could break- her of kicking, so had 
to beef her. This young cow’s calf has 
same trouble with one hind leg; does not 
seem to have good use of it. The hip is 
growing lower and the whole leg does not 
seem to grow much. We had another 
cow that just freshened and she ran over 
time, over two weeks. The hind legs of 
the calf were bent up, and those and the 
hips very much inflamed. When the cow 
went to licking the calf the skin came off 
just above the tail, so had to kill it. 
Could you advise us in regard to these 
different things?. F. F. 
California. 
You have been tying the legs at the 
wrong place. Buckle a wide strap fairly 
tight around the legs, just above the hock 
joints. That should stop the kicking. 
The calf may have fractured a bone in 
the hind leg, and will not fully recover. 
The_ delayed calf probably was injured at 
calving time, so the last two cases may 
be considered accidental and not likely 
to recur. a. s, a.
