Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Aelxander 
Garget 
Can you advise what I can do ( > < ::re 
my cow of caked udder? She is to freshen 
in a few weeks. I am feeding hay, corn¬ 
stalks, bran and middlings, mixed half 
and half. J. E. p, 
Pennsylvania. 
You should have given full particulars 
and a description of the condition present. 
It is natural for the udder to become en¬ 
larged and dropsical toward calving, hut 
if the part is red. swollen and sensitive 
or sore, that would indicate garget Stop 
all rich food, but allow bran and hay. 
Keep the bowels active. Massage the ud¬ 
der three times a day and at night rub in 
a little warm melted lard. Have the cow 
take exercise daily. 
Self-sucking Cow 
I have a cow that sucks herself I have 
tried many different things, put spikes on 
her nose, sticks on each side of her l ead, 
fastened a belt around her body; also a 
burlap tied under her udder to hips, but 
nothing seems to help. She is bound to 
suck herself. Could you give me a rem¬ 
edy? L. G. 
New Jersey. 
Put an old horse collar on the cow. 
That sometimes “works.” If not, as a 
last resort, you should have a trained vet¬ 
erinarian slit the cow’s tongue in the man¬ 
ner understood by a trained surgeon. 
Tumor 
T have a horse with a sore breast. I 
have healed it. but now it seems to he a 
ha-d bunch and it is fast to the bone. 
What do you think about it? I do not 
work the horse, hut if I put him in har¬ 
ness he will draw his head to one side; 
he draws his head the same way when he 
walks. lie is a young horse; has been 
treated for a boil. He lias very tender 
skin. G. C. H. 
New York. 
It will be necessary to have the tumor 
dissected out by a veterinarian, if he finds 
that it is causing the stiffness described. 
Meanwhile, apply tincture of iodine 
every other day, by means of a brush or 
swab of absorbent cotton. It seems some¬ 
what unlikely that such a growth is caus¬ 
ing (he symptoms present, but an exam¬ 
ination would be necessary to determine 
the exact cause. 
Blind Quarter 
I have a heifer that freshened lately 
with her first calf. She has been milked 
for one month, and gives milk from only 
three teats. Would she give milk from 
four teats when she freshens again? 
New Jersey. o. M. v. 
There is no likelihood that the blind 
quarter will yield milk at another calving, 
and in such a ease it often is best to allow 
a calf to suck or to fatten the animal for 
the butcher. 
Itching Skin 
I have a horse nine years old, naturally 
of good spirits, but his hair is long and 
rough, and he is very poor. He bites his 
sides and back; the hair is coming off 
over his eyes. I cannot find any pimples 
on him, or lice. Some say it is Western 
itch. I bought him three years ago out 
of a sales stable. lie came from the West. 
New Y’ork. L. E. r. 
It would be best to clip the horse at 
once and then singe the coat with a spe¬ 
cial lamp, and afterwards wash affected 
parts with a 1-100 solution of coal tar 
d p. If the trouble persists, apply sul¬ 
phur and sweet oil freely to the itching 
places. Feed lightly. Keep the bowels 
active and have the horse work or exercise 
every day. 
Pink-eye 
Recently I bough; a cow which seemed 
to be in a perfectly healthy condition. 
A few days later, a blue spot appeared 
on the pupil of one eye. The eye began 
to water, as did also the mouth. It has 
now affected both eyes, and one seems to 
be blind. None of my other cows has 
been affected by it. The other cows of 
the man from whom I purchased this 
cow have developed the same disease. We 
both have had veterinarians, but they are 
unable to tell us what it is. We think 
it must be something in this man’s pas¬ 
ture, since his whole flock has been af¬ 
fected while our other cows have not. 
Could you tell us anything about this 
disease? H. T. s. 
New Jersey. 
Isolate the cow at once, as her disease 
no doubt is pink-eye, technically termed 
contagious kartitis or ophthalmia. Place 
her in a darkened stable and feed her a 
light, laxative ration. Night and morning 
bathe her eyes with a saturated solution 
(four per cent) of boric acid, and every 
other day dust the eyeballs with a mix¬ 
ture of equal parts of finely powdered 
oalomel or iodoform and boric acid. 
Teacher: “Now, can any of you tell 
me which is the most dangerous part of 
an automobile?” Tommy (who walks to 
school): “Yes, ma’am; the driver!”—
