The Cow and Her Care 
Mixed Feed for Cows 
Will'you inform me how to mix a ra- 
tiou of wheat bran, buckwheat middlings, 
oilmenl and gluten? T. T. n. 
Make your grain ration two parts, by 
weight, of wheat bran, one part buck¬ 
wheat middlings, one and one-half partes 
oilineal and one part gluten. Add 1 lb. 
coarse fine salt to each 100 lbs. of feed 
when mixing it up. it. F. J. 
Feeding for Production 
I have a Guernsey cow nine years old, 
in good condition every way. about 1,000 
lbs. weight. She freshened Nov. 1, 1019. 
I am feeding now one feed, cut sorghum, 
has some grain in it. and second cutting 
clover hay. quite ripe before cutting; feed 
each of these alternately, till she will eat; 
also 7 lbs. per day in two feeds of this 
mixture: 100 lbs. cow feed and 100 lbs. 
buckwheat bran mixed. For a test of 
five days she gave 74 4-10 lbs. milk, which 
made 4 2-10 lbs. butter. What can I do 
to increase her milk and butter produc¬ 
tion? A. 
New York. 
It is questionable if there is much you 
can do to increase the production of this 
cow. A Guernsey cow fresh only, since 
November first certainly ought to average 
more than 15 lbs. of milk a day on the 
feed you are giving her. She apparently 
could not be classed as a very profitable 
producer. You could try the following 
grain ration. It lias more protein in it, 
more variety .is more palatable and may 
increase her flow. Make it one part by 
weight of buckwheat bran, one part cow 
feed, one part gluten feed and oue part 
linseed oilineal. Add 1 lbs. salt to each 
100 lbs. feed when mixing. Seven lbs. a 
day is a great plenty. Tt. I'. J. 
Death of Cows 
1. I bought tt farm last November, hav¬ 
ing six cows and two horses. 1 have lost 
two cows. One I found dead in the 
stanchion, and the other was sick for 
four days. She stopped eating and drink¬ 
ing except what we poured down her 
throat. There was a discharge from the 
nostrils mixed with blood, and froth 
around the mouth, breathing hard, as 
though something was in her throat. She 
lmd violent attacks about five times, and 
then died. Can you tell me what the 
trouble was? Will you tell me how to 
feed the rest of my cows? 1 have silage, 
common hay and uutlirashed oats. Their 
dung is rather hard. 2. I have two horses, 
six and seven years old. weighing 1,500 
lbs. each. I do not work them, only twice 
a week; light driving for several miles. 
I have good hay and whole oats thrashed. 
Will you give me a ration for my cows 
and horses to keep them in good heaTth? 
Massachusetts. ,r. n. 
1. The fact that blood .and bloody froth 
issued from the nostrils strongly suggests 
hemorrhagic septicemia as the disease 
present. If so, remaining cattle should at 
once be vaccinated against the disease. 
We should also advise cleaning, disinfect¬ 
ing and whitewashing the stable under 
direction of the veterinarian who does the 
vaccinating. There is no remedy for the 
i disease, but in some instances the vaccine 
also seems remedial as well as a preven¬ 
tive. It is. of course, possible that the 
cows had indigestion and died from mo- 
! ehanical pneumonia caused by medicine 
getting into the lungs. Tt would be well 
to have the oats ground for the cows and 
to feed wheat bran and oilineal as well. 
They should, if possible, also have clover 
or Alfalfa hay. 
2. Work or actively exercise the horses 
every day, or let them run loose in the 
yard or a large shed. Add a sixth part of 
wheat bran to the oats. Allow some bright 
oat straw in addition to hay. A few cur- 
rots daily would also prove beneficial.

Boils on Udder 
We have a cow that freshened in Octo¬ 
ber, 4919. and since then has hard lumps 
in the udder. Occasionally one breaks 
and a thick, bloody matter comes out. 
They heal up all right, only others start 
up. The milk always appears all right, 
but we got afraid to use it. The cc*v 
appears healthy otherwise. The stock 
had been allowed to drink from a creek 
that the sewer from a private family 
emptied in. We are feeding a medicated 
salt and four quarts of dairy rat inn and 
handful of oilineal twice daily, mixed hay 
twice and cornstalks once a day. Will 
cornstalks cause or help to cause caked 
udder in a cow that is about to freshen? 
New Jersey. \v. s. c. 
Infection by germs causes such boils 
or abscesses, and it may he carried from 
cow to cow by the milkers’ hands or he 
contracted from contaminated floors or 
ground. Isolate affected cows and milk 
them last. Twice daily bathe affected 
udders and then apply benzoated oxide of 
zinc ointment to the sores. If any sores 
are tardy in healing apply strong iodine 
ointment twice daily. When a boil is 
seen to be forming paint it with tincture 
of iodine twice daily. Corn stover will 
not cause congested udder. Too much 
rich feed may help to induce such a con¬ 
dition. a. S. A.
