Abscess 
We have a cow whose jaw was in¬ 
jured four or five years ago by striking 
her head against a heavy cart wheel to 
which she was hitched. There is a large 
bony bunch on the jaw which though 
very unsightly, gave no trouble until a 
year and a half ago, when small sores 
began to come one after another which 
discharged a small quantity of granular 
pus after which they appeared to heal. 
Last March a bigger one opened, dis¬ 
charging nearly a cupful of pus. A vet¬ 
erinarian in the nearest city sent me 
something to remove the pus, after which 
the sore very quickly healed, except a 
very small place which would open oc¬ 
casionally like the smaller sores. Later 
another sore gathered under the eye, not 
as large as the other. The veterinary | 
opened that, and we treated it as we did | 
the others and in a very short time it | 
completely healed, as did also all the 
others and now we have seen no return 
of the trouble for several weeks.* A fine 
calf was born May 5, which at eight 
weeks, dressed 158 lbs. The veteiunarian 
assured us the milk would not injure the ; 
calf, and that after the sores completely j 
healed the milk would be all right for use ; 
in the family, and that she would make j 
good beef. One member of the family is 
not satisfied and refuses to use the milk ■ 
and wnll not believe that the cow could 
be used for beef. We have a calf of hers 
now, and shall expect another of her^ if 
we can get one, but if we cannot I wish 
to make butter from her milk which is 
very rich. If milk is not all right I do not 
wish to use it. What is your opinion? 
Maine. C. F. A, 
Have the cow tested with tuberculin 
and if she does not react, thus showing 
that she is free from tuberculosis, the 
milk or meat safely may be used. Even 
were she affected with actinomycosis 
(lump jaw) milk or meat would be safe 
for use as long as the cow was otherwise 
healthy, in good flesh and without fever 
and not showing a discharge of pus.

Chronic Bronchitis 
Two Winters ago our dog was sudden¬ 
ly taken with a coughing spell, that 
seemed to come from the stomach. He 
wmuld cough a few seconds and when it 
seemed he would choke,^ he gave a hard 
cough and seemed to raise phlegm. After 
a little rest he repeated the act, often 
putting in a whole night that way. As 
he sometimes had the sniffles, I greased 
his nose, forehead and chest with 
skunk’s grease or camphorated 
oil. After a week, or so, he would i 
have another spell. For months he has 
not had any attack, but for the past 3 | 
days, he has had spells both day and i 
night. Is it possible that he has chronic | 
throat trouble, as he has a tiny lump in 
his throat? When a year old we gave 
him small chicken bones and have thought 
one lodged in his throat and caused all 
the trouble. H. 6. 
New York. 
The symptoms are characteristic of 
chronic bronchitis but before deciding 
that it is present, a very careful exam¬ 
ination of the mouth and throat of course 
should be made. A lodged foreign body, 
such as a small bone, needle or pin often 
causes such spells of spasmodic coughing 
and has to be removed by means of for¬ 
ceps. If no such cause is found present, 
treat for bronchitis by giving one tea¬ 
spoonful of glyco-heroin (Smith) three 
times daily and oftener if the cough¬ 
ing is severe. At such times confine the 
dog to a small room and in it place a i 
kettle of steaming hot water to which add 
a tablespoonful of odl of eucalyptus. Keep 
the dog dry and out of wet damp places. 
Feed light, laxative feed. A. S. A. 
Keep More Hogs.— ^We live here in 
the fruit belt, and it is surprising what a 
great number of farmers are not even pro¬ 
ducing pork for their own consumption. 
Occasionally, we ask one why not, and 
the only excuse that he can give is that 
feed is too high and the bother is too 
great. The latter is the real excuse, after 
all, for on practically every one of these 
places the waste would carry two or three 
pigs and the amount of extra feed to be 
bought is negligible. We find that the 
most of these farmers are too much ad¬ 
dicted to gasoline locomotion to be on 
hand when the pigs need attention. The 
price of pork has soared to such an ex¬ 
tent that every farm ought to have ^e 
or more pigs, as in the days of old. We 
don’t know of any animal which vail re¬ 
turn as much for the feed and attention 
given to him as the pig.
