The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Weak Cow 
I have a cow about nine years old; 
she is a good cow, freshened .Tan. 15. 
The calf is still by side. About three 
weeks before ■she freshened she got down 
a couple of times, also after freshened. 
After this she got on her feet for a while, 
but she gets down now and seems para¬ 
lyzed when she goes to get up, tries once 
or twice and gives up. She is kept in 
cement barn, with no sunlight. Does 
this have anything to do with her? Be¬ 
fore she freshened she had silage from 
a silo that had become a little musty 
twice a dav until about two weeks be¬ 
fore freshening, and then nothing but hay 
with about two quarts of wheat bran 
and cornmeal, two-thirds wheat bran 
and one-third cornmeal. After freshen¬ 
ing nothing but hay three times a day 
and two quarts of wheat bran and corn 
meal. j. a. f. 
New York. 
Wean the calf and get the cow out of 
that sunless stable and into a dry. clean 
box stall in a sunny stable. Let her take 
outdoor exercise every day. Feed 30 
lbs. of sound corn silage. 14 lbs. of clover 
or Alfalfa hay and 7 or 8 lbs. of a mix¬ 
ture of ground oats, barley, corn, wheat 
bran and oil meal daily. She needs better 
feeding and a sanitary stable. a. s. a.
