AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Mammary Tumors 
My cow has a sort of hard substance 
in the first quarter of her udder: there is 
no soreness that I know of. The sub¬ 
stance is lumpy and hard, and it starts 
from the vein running back to the second 
teat. She does not give much milk and 
milks quite hard out of that teat. Wlmt 
is the trouble? e. r. 
Massachusetts. 
As tuberculosis of the udder is a possi¬ 
bility in such a case have the cow tested 
with tuberculin to settle the matter one 
way or the other. If she reacts she 
should be destroyed as the milk is dan¬ 
gerous for man. or animals. If she does 
not react rub iodex thoroughly into the 
hunches once daily and twice daily if once 
does not prove sufficiently effective. 
"It’s the 
Equipment g 
That Makes the Barn” 1 
“Give me STAR equipment and I’ll make any barnji better, E 
more profitable building,” says a prominent dairyman^ 
The STAR “Unit System” and curb clamp mean 
ease and economy of installation; the STAR one- 
piece arched stall means stronger, better looking, 
more sanitary equipment; the STAR Alignment Device length¬ 
ens or shortens the cow bed instantly. These and many other 
features make STAR the preferred equipment everywhere. 
Write for the New STAR Book 
showing everything for the barn, and a great variety of free 
barn plans and helpful suggestions on barn building.

Spraying Milk: Cough 
I have n Holstein with one teat that 
sprays the milk; sometimes it acts as 
though it had two milk passages. I made 
a litle peg of soft pine and worked it up 
in the opening. It. works better for a 
short time after this operation, but again 
starts to spray. There does not seem to 
be any soreness, and this came on all 
at once. She is giving a full flow of milk, 
well fed on balanced ration of grain and 
clover hay, her quarters are dry, not 
especially warm, stable cleaned regularly 
and cow has plenty of fresh water three 
times a day. Was fresh December 8, 
1918, and after the first three days the 
calf was never allowed to suck. She is; 
confined to stable in stanchion most of 
the time. She lias a dry hard cough, hut 
this is only present at milking time. Ap¬ 
petite is good, cleans up her feed with a 
relish three and four times a day. What 
do you suggest? n. ir.

Swollen Hock Joint 
I have a Guernsey heifer (registered), 
two years old, imported from Channel 
Islands. She has a swelling at the knee 
of the hind leg. I have put on several 
blisters which took out quite a lot of the 
swelling, but it seems to come hack again. 
What may be the cause of this, and can 
she be cured? She seems to he healthy 
and eats well. This swelling is not a 
sore, but seems rather hard under the 
skill. Some other heifers in the same 
lot had similar swellings

In such cases it always is well to have 
the tuberculin test applied 'by a qualified 
veterinarian, as tuberculosis of tin* bones 
and joints is not uncommon, and there is 
no use of keeping an affected animal. 
If she does not react rub in veterinary 
index once daily and after a time use it 
twice daily, if that is found necessary.

Infected Navel 
JOHN DEERE 
DEALERS GIVE BOTH 
We have a heifer calf four mouths old 
which only weighs about 200 lbs. About 
two months ago she seemed to have a 
sore' navel, and discharged a white matter. 
It does not heal up. What can I do for 
it? She is very lively, eats well; has a 
pint and a half of calf meal, the same of 
ground corn and oats, about 10 lbs. of 
silage and quite a little hay, also five 
quarts of skim-milk with three pints of 
hay tea. She drinks very fast. Is the 
feed all right and what can I do for the 
navel? Is calf as large as it ought to be? 
Massachusetts. , w. E. K. 
Infection of the navel with filth germs 
lias caused pus to form there, and possi¬ 
bly elsewhere in the body, the liver f<n; 
instance. It is a miracle that tin* calf 
does not show joint disease from forma¬ 
tion of secondary abscesses, ns that is a 
common result of infection of the navel 
or it proves promptly fatal. As it is the 
calf is somewhat affected, as it is under 
weight considering the feed it has been 
getting. Perfectly cleanse the navel, then 
inject a little tincture of iodine into the 
discharging orifice, and apply tin 1 tincture 
freely to the enlargement. I >o this once 
daily until healing is complete. Add 
wheat bran and oilmeal to the ration.
