I have two cows affected as follows: 
One qnaj’ter of the udder will be swollen 
very hard at milking rime in the evening. 
The next morning the swelling will be 
gone. The milk is lumpy at the morning 
milking. She is then normal for two or 
three weeks, when she will he affected the 
same way. Can you give a remetly? 
Kentucky. M. J. B. 
We consider it wise in all cases of this 
s • t ti> have the cow tested with tuber¬ 
culin. as tuberculosis sometimes is the 
cause of such mysterious attacks of sub¬ 
acute mammitis (gargetl. '^Tiere that 
is the case, however, handling of the ud¬ 
der usually discovers a hard lump in the 
gland tissue well above the base of the 
teat. More commonly the attack is as¬ 
sociated with coming in heat, a sudden 
change of feed or chill, or attack of indi¬ 
gestion, or from bruising. Such cases 
are very common where cows are allowed 
to lie upon unbedded cement stall floors, 
or lie down upon cold, wet ground. Re¬ 
move the cause if it can be determined. 
Milk every two hour.s at time of attack, 
withhold all rich food and give a table¬ 
spoonful each of powdered saltpeter and 
poke root twice daily in any way found 
most convenient. A. S. A. 
Dose of Arsenic 
How should T give Fowler’s solution of 
arsenic to an old horse to slick him up? 
Is it given in feed? If so, how much at 
one time? Is it given twice or three timee 
daily ? C. K. 
New .Tersey. 
We prescribe Fowler's solution of ar¬ 
senic for horses afflicted with heaves or a 
chronic skin disease, but do not believe 
in giving it to a well horse to “slick him 
up” for sale. A drugged horse tends to 
“go to pieces” when deprived of his dope, 
and so it is best to put on condition by 
generous feeding. The average dose of 
Fowler's solution is half an ounce (one 
tablespoonful), which may be mixed in 
the feed, or given diluted with water as 
a drench from a bottle or syringe. After 
the desired effects have been had the med¬ 
icine should be gradually discontinued, 
taking at least a week to the work. Be¬ 
fore giving other treatment have the old 
horse’s teeth put in order by veterinarian.

Cow Holding Up Milk 
A cow in my herd freshened in .Tune. 
About six weeks after freshening she 
started to hold her milk about every other 
day. She has continued this way ever 
since. Sometimes she gives a full mess 
and at times she gives nothing at all. She 
’s a young .lersey and at present is being 
fed a mixture'of gluten, barley and bran. 
New York. A. c. B. 
The cow must be a nervous animal, 
and have had a fright of some sort, or 
may be chilling her udder in some way 
or another. Rough or incomplete milk¬ 
ing might cause her to hold up her milk. 
Massage the udder gently for a few min¬ 
utes before starting to milk and place a 
calf near her at milking time, by prefer¬ 
ence her own calf. It would be well if 
you could ha,ve her milked by a woman.
