AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Leaking Teats 
I have a fine Holstein cow that when 
her udder Is full leaks a stream from the 
two back teats. G. w. m. 
New York. 
Milk three times a day and twice daily 
immerse the teats for a few minutes in 
a strong solution of alum. If that does 
not help, apply melted wax or paraffin to 
the tips of the teat or paint them with 
flexible collodion twice daily. Stop for 
a time when the ends of the teats become 
irritated. A. s. A. 
Rupture 
I have a sow pig four months old that 
has a growth on its navel about the size 
of an egg. Will it do any harm or affect 
the meat should I keep it till next Fall? 
The pig seems healthy and eats well. 
New Hampshire. E. T. F. 
A rupture probably is present, and if 
so you will find it possible to return the 
bowel to the abdominal cavity by manipu¬ 
lating the part with the fingers. While 
such small ruptures often disappear with¬ 
out treatment, as the animal develops, j 
an operation sometimes proves necessary. 
The sow should not be retained for breed- | 
ing, as a tendency to the trouble possibly 
is hereditary, but it will not in any way 1 
affect the meat. If you paint the part 
twice a week with tincture of iodine, or 
return the bowel and then put on suc¬ 
cessive layers of porous plaster or sur¬ 
geon’s tape the rupture may disappear 
more quickly than otherwise might be 
the case. 
Lampas 
I wish the best remedy for lampas in 
horses. My horse is so she will not eat 
oats or rough feed of any kind. C. E. w. 
New York. 
Lampas or “lampsrs” is merely a 
swollen condition of the bars of the palate 
just behind the upper- incisor teeth and 
does not in itself constitute a disease. 
Usually it is caused by cutting of teeth 
in a young horse—under five years old— 
or in old horses is caused by irregularities 
of the teeth. Have a veterinarian attend 
to the teeth. Milk tooth crowns that 
have lodged should be removed and swol¬ 
len gums lanced over incoming teeth. If 
the horse is old sharp points of molar 
teeth should be filed down. Do not lance 
or burn the swollen palate, but feed 
some old hard ear corn and twice daily 
rub the swelling with a block of alum. 
Sprung Knee 
I have a colt five years old. I have 
used her since she was three years old 
in a light hitch, always walking her down 
hill. I fed on the floor; never worked 
her. She is a little sprung in one foreleg. 
Could I bathe her cords to stop it from 
growing any more? Sometimes she does 
not favor it any, and at others she shows 
it plainly. 0. r. w. 
Maine. 
Three times a day hand-rub the hack 
tendons thoroughly and try to force the 
knee into normal position. Then wrap 
the leg with cotton batting and bandage 
smoothly with flannel or a deroy bandage. 
This may help in time, but such condi¬ 
tions tend to become worse with ag<\ A 
three months’ rest on grass might do more 
good than any other treatment we can 
suggest. 
Warbles 
I have a young cow and two heifers 
with a series of small bunches along the 
back, and I judge the bunches are the 
cause of considerable itching, as they try 
to lap the locality frequently. Are the 
bunches an indication of some trouble? 
Massachusetts. w. u. u. 
Each of the bunches contains a grub 
or arva of the ox warble fly. Squeeze 
out the grubs by fitting the open mouth of 
a large bottle over each “boil” and press¬ 
ing down hard, then destroy the grubs. 
Daily spraying with a fly repellant in 
Summer will help to keep cows free from 
these warbles, which cause considerable 
discomfort and aso greatly injure hides 
for tanning purposes.
