Can a Cow Get Drunk? 
A reader in Northern New York sent us 
an amusing clipping from an Ogdensburg 
paper, in which we are told of a Holstein 
cow which suffered from “acute alcohol¬ 
ism.” The story goes that the owner of 
this cow made what he called “a home 
brew,” which we take to be a kind of 
strong boor. He left a pail of this stuff 
where the cow could get at it, and, as 
the story goes, she drank it up and soon 
began to show the evidences of drunken¬ 
ness, as clearly as a cow could do such a 
thing. A description of her actions in¬ 
cluded bellowing, running at the eyes, 
inability to walk straight and finally ly¬ 
ing down in an unconscious condition. 
This was not a case where a cow ate 
large quantities of apples, but as the story 
is related, she drank a quantity of liquor 
containing considerable alcohol and ac¬ 
tually got drunk. 
There has long been a question in the 
minds of the scientific men as to whether 
it is really possible for a cow to become 
drunk, and we have spent some time in 
trying to get information on the subject. 
We are told that a cow may bellow and 
stagger from a derangement of the diges¬ 
tive organs. This may act upon the 
brain, and an excessive dose of alcohol 
would cause such a derangement. It is 
not likely, however, that the cow in ques¬ 
tion found alcohol enough in a pail of 
beer to make her drunk. 
The veterinarians say that the dose of 
liquor for a cow is from one to three 
ounces, or twice that dose of whisky or 
brandy, and she should safely take that 
dose at intervals of three or four hours. 
There is an interesting case of this sort 
on record. At one of the annual live¬ 
stock expositions a very fine steer was 
entered for competition. This steer was 
suddenly taken with a violent congestive 
chill, which threatened to develop into 
pneumonia. This was on the day before 
the great contest in which this steer was 
entered. A veterinarian was called in 
and he considered it a desperate case. 
He recommended large doses of Scotch 
whisky in warm water. This was given 
at once, and repeated every three hours 
with appropriate drugs. This stimulant 
was continued through the night, with 
the result that the steer through this dos¬ 
ing threw off the danger of congestion. 
Walked steadily into the show ring and 
won the blue ribbon. The quantities of 
liquor which that steer consumed must 
have contained far more alcohol than 
could be found in the pail of home-bVewed 
beer, and it is doubtful, therefore, if that 
cow was overcome by the liquor. She 
probably took enough of it to create dis¬ 
turbances in her stomach, and that acted 
upon the brain and gave her the appear¬ 
ance which her owner noticed. 
Extravagant Claims for Rape 
One of our readers read in the seed 
catalogue of the A. A. Berry Seed Com¬ 
pany that an acre of Dwarf Essex rape 
will produce 11.000 lbs. of protein. As 
that would be the equivalent of nearly 
45 tons of wheat bran, or 75 tons of 
clover hay, or over 00 tons of oats, or 15 
tons of cottonseed meal from one acre, it 
seemed too good to lie true. So he wrote 
the A. A. Berry Seed Company for the 
facts. What he got was a letter con¬ 
taining the following: 
In regard to the protein that we speak 
of on page 1” of our catalog, will stall 1 
that it is easily figured out. When 30,000 
lbs. are produced per acre and it analyzes 
57 per cent protein, this would run 
around 11,000 lbs. 
In order to be frank with you, would 
state that (lit 1 analysis of rape differs 
according to the soil on which it. is 
raised as well as the seasonal conditions, 
so that sometimes it only analyzes 35 
per cent protein, and not all of this is 
digestible protein, hut it certainly runs 
high enough to make a crop that can be 
grown with profit to every hog raiser. 
There is some truth in the last line of 
the letter. We have grown green rapt 
tit the rate of 15 tons per acre. In 
“Feeds and Feeding” the following 
analysis of rape is given: Protein, 2.9; 
carbohydrates, S.4; fat, 0.0. Thus in¬ 
stead of 11,000 lbs. of protein to the acre 
the rape might possibly produce 7S0 lbs., 
which would he equal to about three tons 
of bran. For all wo know the Berry 
Company may claim that they have a 
new variety of rape with green leaven 
richer than cottonseed meal—a worthy 
companion for spineless cactus, but we 
have never seen a more ridiculous claim 
made for any farm crop.

y^FTER a Lard day in the field with 
x the temperature up in the nineties 
and then milking 20 to 30 cows, a man 
may not cave in as this boy has done, 
but he’s certainly often near doing it. 
The Empire is doing a lot to correct 
this and keep the young man on the 
farm, and the best part of it is it’s 
making money for his dad at the same 
time. Milking the Empire way is the 
sure way to better dairying. 
It cuts the time, the cost and the drudgery 
out of milk production.
