Clipping Dairy Cows is a Sanitary Necessity 
The stabling period of winter and early spring makes clean 
milk production a problem. Dirt and filth lodge in the cow’s 
long hair, and it’s impossible to keep it out of the milk pail. 
Progressive dairymen clip their cows at regular intervals on udder, flanks 
and underline. This enables them to be quickly cleaned, and lessens the 
danger of milk contamination from disease-breeding bacteria. 
Five minutes a month with this machine keeps the hair short, and makes 
cleaning an easy job. A necessity for every milk pro- s , . ,, . 
ducer. Urged by dairy authorities everywhere. Read cotv Clipping Machine

April 7,1920. 
I have used the Stewart Clipping 
Machine for the past 10 years and 
it is satisfactory in every way. I 
find if cows are properly clipped, 
it aids materially in improving 
the qualilg of milk produced.

Disinfecting a Stable ) 
As my cows were affected with abor¬ 
tion last. Spring and I aim to start tt new 
herd this Fall, I wish to disinfect my 
stable, and would like you to advise me 
what to use. k. r. 
New York. 
Remove all loose trash and feed. Then 
scrape the floor and clean and saturate 
it with a mixture of one part of com¬ 
pound cresol solution and 30 parts of 
water, or with a five per cent solution of 
coal tar disinfectant, or a mixture of five 
ounces of formaldehyde in a gallon of 
water. Use the same solutions to scrub 
and saturate the walls, ceiling, manger 
and all other fixtures. Fresh-made white¬ 
wash should then be applied with a spray 
pump to get it. into every crevice. In 
each three gallons of whitewash mix one 
pound of fresh chloride of lime. Pour 
the remaining whitewash upon the floors 
and gutter of each stall. If the stable 
has a flooring of dirt or old boards it 
would be best to put in a concrete floor 
and modern stanchions of metal. It is 
impossible properly to disinfect an old 
floor. In addition to cleansing, disin¬ 
fecting and whitewashing the stable, it 
will he necessary to have it properly ven¬ 
tilated and lighted.

PERCY E. HICKS - Rumson, N. J. 
Try the effects of immersing the tents 
in strong alum solution night and morn¬ 
ing. If that does not avail apply melted 
wax or paraffin after each milking and 
as a last resort apply flexible collodion 
twice daily until the tips of the teats be¬ 
come irritated, when treatment should he 
discontinued for some time. Milk three 
times daily. 
Strong Milk 
I have a Jersey grade cow which has 
recently been giving bad milk. The milk 
is stringy and strong and the flow about 
half normal. She was bred in April but 
T do not believe she is with calf. About 
a month ago she got out into the orchard 
a few times and got apples. Her bowels 
were very loose and she did not give any 
milk except about % pint for a few days, 
but she got bettor and went hack to nor¬ 
mal. In the udder just above one teat 
there is a round lump about the size of 
half a thimble. n. L. s. 
Maryland. 
It is common for a cow to give strong 
milk when she lias been milking for an 
extended period; but in this case garget 
( mnmmitis) may be an additional cause. 
If tiic cow is a common animal we should 
advise you to dry ,ofif the milk flow and 
feed her for the butcher. If you prefer 
to treat her give a pound dose of epsoin 
salt and a cupful of blackstrap molasses 
in 3 pints of warm water slowly aud care¬ 
fully from a long-necked bottle. After¬ 
ward mix in the feed each evening half 
an ounce each of powdered saltpeter and 
poke root until the milk clears up. Milk 
three times daily aud each evening rub 
in some melted lard. 
Hygroma; Warts 
1. I have a cow that is getting a soft 
hunch on the front of her knee. The 
skin seems to be loose, and you can move 
it around. I have seen them on cows, 
but I do not know what to do for it. 
Uould you advise me? 2. Is there any¬ 
thing better for a wart on a horse than 
the sweet oil you suggested? I have tried 
the sweet oil till Summer, and it does not 
take it off. o. E, b. 
Pennsylvania. 
1. Bruising upon the floor nr manger 
has caused a cyst which is filled with 
serum from the blood, and some clots of 
blood and fibrin also may be there. The 
popular treatment among farmers is- to 
run a tape seton down through the cyst, 
tie a bit of leather on each end of the 
tape, smear the tape with turpentine or 
tincture of iodine daily, and pull it up 
and down now and then to cause a flow 
of scrum. The tape has to be replaced 
every three or four days until the cyst is 
sufficiently reduced. The better plan is 
to have a trained veterinarian open the 
cyst at. its lowest part, liberate the serum 
and clots, and with his cleansed finger 
break down adhesions or partitions pos¬ 
sibly present. Then he will inject tinc¬ 
ture of iodine and afterward pack the 
cavity with a rope of oakum or strip of 
antiseptic gauze saturated with a mix¬ 
ture of equal quantities of turpentine and 
raw linseed oil. A tag of oakum should 
he allowed to hang out of the wound and 
serve as a drain. We firmly bandage the 
part after the operation. 
2. Sweet oil may do for removal of 
small warts on the teats or muzzle, hut 
it is a very slow acting agent. If the 
wart has a narrow neck and cannot he 
twisted off at once, or removed by dis¬ 
section, ligate tightly with a fine cord, 
or put on a few small rubber hands as 
tightly as possible. Then apply strong 
vinegar once or twice daily. If it has 
not a narrow neck it should be cut out 
by a surgeon.
