AILING ANIMALS 
Garget 
We have a Jersey cow that freshened 
about a mouth ago and had a good 
healthy calf. She seemed all right, but 
every few day.s now one and sometimes 
two quarters of her udder cakes up very 
hard. She gets corn stover, good clean 
fodder, mangels and brewers’ grains. Can 
you tell what is the trouble and give a 
formula for her relief? l. ir. d. 
Ohio. 
It is to be suspected that the cow is 
chilling or bruising her udder in some 
way or another. Try to prevent this. 
See that the stall floor is well bedded. 
If it is made of cement cover the rear 
part with cork brick or boards. Do not 
allow the cow to lie down upon cold or 
frozen ground. Milk every two hours 
when the udder is caked, massaging well 
each time, and at night rub in a mixture 
of one part each of turpentine and fluid 
extract of poke root and belladonna and 
eight parts of lard. At such times also 
give one tablespoonful each of powdered 
saltpeter and poke root once daily in the 
feed. A. s. A. 
Obstructed Teat 
1. I have a cow that freshened October 
10. One hind quarter of udder gives milk 
down very slowly. It takes perhaps about 
half a minute for enough milk to come 
into teat to make a good stream. I can 
see nothing Avrong with udder. There is 
no congestion or hunches in udder or teat. 
Other hack (piarter gives milk down 
slowly, hut not so badly. Cow held up 
milk badly for a few days, but I let calf 
suck her out after I had drawn what I 
could. 2. I have considerable trouble 
with cows holding milk after freshening. 
Is there any best way to overcome this? 
Is it better to keep calf away entirely or 
to let it suck cow? w. J. p. 
New York. 
1. Some obstruction is present so high 
up in tile udder that we scarcely think an 
operation would prove safe or satisfac- 
tor.v, and for that reason we should advise 
drying oil’ the milk secretion in that 
(lU.arter. Rub in a mixture of one part of 
Atiid extract of belladonna and seven parts 
of camphorated oil twice daily during the 
drying off process, 2, Wo think it would 
he best witli snch nervous cows to hand- 
raise the c.alves from birth. Sometimes, 
however, a cow will lot down her milk 
'f.tbe calf is i>laccd near her at 
milking time. It may be that the milking 
IS not dime with .sufRcient gentleness. 
KiTiigh niilkinpr oftoii innko.s a hoifor a 
hard milker. Try having the heifers with 
lirst, calves milked by a woman. A. S. A. 
Boils; Cowpox 
1. I hiive two cows with lumps in their 
udjh'rs*. These lumps break open like 
boils. They seem too large for cow pox. 
—. Another cow we think has cow pox. Does 
it ever afl’ect the .skin of an animal higher 
up on the udder and around the tail? 
\\ hat treatment do you suggest? These 
animals have all been tested for “T. II.” 
2. What causes foot rot in dairy cattle— 
and what treatment? t w t 
New .Tersey. 
1. Paint the boils once daily with tinc¬ 
ture of iodine, both before and‘after break¬ 
ing and they should soon subside unless 
they contain some foreign bo<ly, like a 
sliver. Such caiise.s should he removed. 
2. In cow pox the eruptions (pustules) 
have (;oucave toji.s and the Ivmpli is con¬ 
tained in .several compartments. Crusts 
form after the jimstules rupture. Suc¬ 
cessive crops of pustules may appear iiixm 
the teat.s and a f(“w on the udder, but 
not upon the tail. If you care to describe 
the eruption ive shall be glad to prescribe 
appropriate treatment. .‘5. Ry foot rot 
we a.ssiime that you mean what commonly 
is termed “fouls” or “foul in the foot ” 
which IS cau.sed by wading in filth, wet or 
grit and lodging of foreign bodies between 
the toes Cleanse the parts perfectly, 
bathe ivith a solution of two ounces of 
sulphate of copper to the pint of hot 
water; then saturate oakum with a 5 per 
cent solution of coiil tar disinfectant and 
bind upon ^ affected parts. Renew the 
latter dres,sing daily. ^ 
Cow with Stiff Neck 
12-yoar-oId cow 
gets stifi nock. Iho muscles uloiig the 
vertebrae seem to eon tract so that she 
can t get her head down to eat. The loeal 
veterinary did not know ivhat was the 
matter, but recommended hot mustard 
applications, which relieved her. Another 
V(>terinary thought she might have tuber¬ 
culosis. hut said it would be harder and 
more frequent if she did. She has had 
only three or four attacks since last 
.Summer, I generally rub turpentine on 
when she starts, so keep it down. 
ir. M. w. 
The cow no doubt suffers from “torti- 
term applied to rheumatism 
stiffening and twisting the neck. .Damp¬ 
ness of the .stable is the ooninioii cause. 
Give her a dry, comfortable boxstall in a 
different stable. Anyhow change her 
from her present stall to a dryer place. 
At tinie of attack give her half an ounce 
of salicylate of soda three times a day 
ill feed and rub neck with oil of winter-

s mechanical milker is the only solu- 
S tion, for the dairyman, of the present 
S critical labor shortage. The big thing is to 
S get the right milker. 
— With a Universal outfit, one man can easily do 
JJJ the work of three hand milkers—and do it better. 
I * Universal Milker 
— has no equal for simplicity and perfectly milking. 
S It saves you inestimable hard work and solves 
■g the labor question for all time to come. 
Alternating Action. Milks the natural wajl; two teats at 
M a time. This feature—possessed by no other milker—places 
MB the Universal in a class by itself. The gentle, massaging, 
mm alternating action soothes the cow and greatly stimulates 
SS the milk flow. 
JJJJ Universal Teat Cup. Adjustable to all cows. Massage or 
mm squeeze is always from the bottom upward, exactly like the 
action of the calfs tongue when stopping to swallow. So 
22 supports teat as to relieve all strain. Easy to take apart— 
easy to clean—absolutely sanitary. 
The Universal requires almost no attention—will last 
^ ^ a life time. It is the last word in milking machines.

Less Work—More Milk 
"THE JAMESWAY" will show you how to accomplish 
^ater baru results with less effort—how to increase your milk yield even 
if you are a man or two short. Labor is the big farm problem now—with 
a lot of men gone to war and many others attracted to different industries- 
But why worry about that when a new JAMES barn, JAMES-equipped, 
or new equipment in an old or remodeled barn, may be more than equal 
to the help you’ve lost. The dairyman will have to reduce his barn work— 
make it easier. He must substitute machinery for human muscle. He must 
force his cows to give more milk, with less effort on his own part. 
will enable you to do these things, at the 
which is hard to get. "The James way" 
when you build a new bam, or remodel 
the old one, or install new equipment. 
In it you get floor plans, directions for plank 
frame construction, advice about drainage, 
ventilation, etc., and descriptions of labor- 
saving, milk-increasing equipment. 
For brass-tack reasons why James Drinking 
Cups, for instance, pay for themselves in one 
season, you need “The Jamesway.” Fill out
