CHEESE. 
The market is lower and trading very light. 
Most retail butter dealers keep several qualities 
of cheese in stock, but sales are only one-third 
or one-fourth of what they formerly were, as 
buyers are unable to see 80 to 85 cents worth 
of value in ordinary cheese.

EGOS. 
A few sales are reported at the extreme figure 
of 70 cents, wholesale for fancy white, and 
nearly 00 cents for mixed colors of equal qual¬ 
ity. Gathered stock of medium to good grades 
Is selling in the range of 42 to 47 cents, and 
best gathered white above 00. Cold storage 
eggs are available at 40 to 45 cents retail for 
medium to good grades. The cold storage situ¬ 
ation is largel.v guesswork, and will be so until 
(•omplete reports from all the large wareliouses 
are made public. Occasionally some man who 
claims to know It all gets into the newspapers 
witli a statement of the profits and losses being 
iiiaile on stored eggs, just when the stocks will 
be u.sed, etc. This alleged Information is given 
out mainly by those who have market news (?) 
to sell, or have sold themselves to one side or 
the other of the speculative element.

AILING ANIMALS 
Torn Teat 
j 
My six-year old Jersey cow tore a gash 
iu her front teat. The doctor’s advice 
was to plaster it, which we did. Will 
she be likely to lo.se that quarter, or will 
she come back to milk flow when she is 
fre.sh? The gash laid open the milk 
duet. ■She is due to fre.shen iu Mtirch. 
West Virginia. u. w. w. j 
You should have confidence in the skill 
of the veterinarian, if he is a graduate, 
to prevent a fistula (false opening of the 
milk duct) remaining after healing of 
the tear in the wall of the teat. When 
this threatens it is necessary to freshen 
the edges of the opening, right down to 
the milk duct, by cutting Avith a small, 
sharp scalpel, then dust the wound with 
iodoform and again apply absorbent cot¬ 
ton, to bo kept in place by strips of ail- 
hesive tape; or the veterinarian may pi-e- 
fer to coat the wound with iodoform-col¬ 
lodion. We cannot tell you how the case 
will come out as that depends entirely 
upon the skill of the surgeon in at¬ 
tendance. A. s. A. 
Bloody Milk 
CouW you advise me about a cow that 
gives bloody milk? She came iu a week 
ago, and was out in the hot sun four 
days after she came in, and was not 
taken care of. She is now in the barn 
and fed on new hay, and four quarts of 
stock feed. At first she gave only eight 
quai’ts of milk and now gives 18. 
Massachusetts. w. e. t. 
A cow should be carefully looked after 
for at least 10 days after calving as dur¬ 
ing that time she is susceptible to cold 
and other troubles. Melochial discharge 
comes away from the uterus about the 
ninth or tenth day and after that the 
cow strengthens up and is less liable to 
sicken. Stop all feed other than grass 
and hay and milk gently three times a 
day. The bleeding should then quickly 
subside, provided it does not come from 
growths in the teats irritated by the act 
of milking. Such growths have to he re¬ 
moved by operation, when that proves 
pos.sihle. s. A.
