AILING ANIMALS 
Shrink in Milk 
Can y(>u advise me what the trouble 
can be with a cow that gave four quarts 
of milk and suddenly dropped down to 
two quarts? I notice when milking that 
the cow .seems to draw her milk back. 
To get three quarts from her I milk her 
half an hour after each milking. Between 
the first and second milking I feed her. 
Cow is a .Jersey about 4^ years old. 
New York. o. s. 
Indigestion or a chill would he likely 
causes of the shrink in milk. Milk three 
times a day, massaging the udder thor¬ 
oughly each time. To bring back a flow 
of milk feed mashes of wheat bran, corn- 
mea'; and flaxseed meal, made up with 
hot water and well sweetened with black¬ 
strap molasses. Also feed green .stuff or 
roots. Dried brewer.s’ grain.s, if obtain¬ 
able, would be found an excellent milk 
stimulating feed. A. s. a. 
Diseased Udder 
My cow calved a week ago, but her two 
teats on the left do not have more than a 
cupful of milk at each milking. I get 
about four quarts from the other two 
teats. There is a hard bunch between the 
teats, and a little inflammation on the 
right side of the udder. A man who has 
been a farmer many years .says that the 
cow has lost the u.se of these two teats 
due to pressure of blood on the udder. 
Is there any remedy for it? Milk is all 
right, cow seems in good health and eats 
well ; has a little congh. as I noticed while 
milking, btit not much. S. A. A. 
Connecticut. 
The udder evidently is ruined for dairy¬ 
ing, and as tuberculosis of the udder may 
be present, and this is the more likely as 
the cow has a cough, we should advise 
you have her tested with tuberculin. 
If she does not react, sell her to the 
butcher; if she reacts she should he de¬ 
stroyed. A. s. A. 
Garget 
What is the cause of garget and what 
I is the cure for it? Can it be prevented, 
and how? If a cow starts to have at¬ 
tacks of garget does it follow that she is 
liable to future attacks, and will they be¬ 
come chronic? Is garget a local trouble, 
or is it due to a faulty condition of the 
stomach or blood? c. L. .s. 
Vermont. 
Garget is mammitis (inflammation of 
the udder) or “caked bag” and in the worst 
forms is caused by pus germs and in mild¬ 
er attacks by chill, bruise, injury, rough, 
incomplete or irregular milking, the “dry¬ 
ing off” process, indigestion, over feeding, 
sudden change of feed, coming in heat, etc. 
Many of these causes are preventable. 
One attack usually is followed sooner or 
later by another, then the disea.se tends to 
become chronic and incurable. Hyinp- 
toms have to be treated as they occur, 
but on general principles it always is 
well to instantly isolate the c*ow, give a 
full dose of physic, milk clean every two 
hours, bathe the udder persistently with 
hot water and twice daily rub in a mix¬ 
ture of one dram each of turpentine and 
fluid extract of poke root and belladonna 
to the ounce of lard or sweet oil. A. s. a. 
Lame Pig 
I have a pig four weeks- old, lame in 
all of his legs. He has a pretty good ap¬ 
petite. II. T. 
New York. 
You do not give necessary particulars 
as to feeding and management, but we 
suspect that the lameness is due to rickets 
caused -by malnutrition from unsuitable 
feed, lack of exercise, and possibly worms 
and constipation. At once physic the pig 
with castor oil in milk, then allow it free 
range on pasture and feed milk slop of 
wheat mi(ldlings, ground rye or barley 
and flaxseed meal, adding lime water free¬ 
ly. A. 8. A. 
Buffalo Markets 
The high prices of butter, cheese and 
eggs are the feature of the markets, with 
potatoes and apiiles not so strong. Cab¬ 
bage has fallen off and all vegetables are 
plenty and not especially strong. A spell 
of rainless weather has facilitated work 
so that the supply ought to continue good. 
Butter fell off, but it immediately ucl- 
vaiiced again.

to fancy lots, which wholesale at $1 to

When You Buy a Tractor— 
"O EMEMBER, it’s the plows, disks, drills, 
binders, ensilage cutters, feed grinders, 
threshers and the like that do your farm work. The 
tractor is useful only as it furnishes cheap, depend¬ 
able power for all the other machines. 
That’s why we say, if you need a tractor, you can't make a 
mistake in buying an International kerosene tractor. 
We have had over75years' experience with farm machines. 
We know the kind of power they require — all of them. For 
over twelve years we have sold tractors that supplied that 
kind of power. We know from experience that the sizes and 
styles of tractors we sell today will work with the machines 
you depend upon for your success and prosperity. And — 
our tractors all operate successfully on cheap kerosene. 
When you buy an International kerosene tractor you buy 
with it the benefit of our long farm machine experience and 
all the advantages of dealing with a service organization 
which brings a well stocked branch house or a live, wide¬ 
awake retail dealer within telephone call of you. It may 
surprise you to know that an International tractor, plus these 
advantages, which no one else can give, costs you less per 
year of active service than any other tractor sold iu anywhere 
near the same numbers.
