Cow Sucks Herself 
I see that a reader wants to know how 
to break a cow from sucking herself. I 
had one that did, and I mixed 1 oz. of 
ground red pepper in 1-lb. of lard, greas¬ 
ing her teats after each milking with this 
mixture for several days; then once 
every week for 10 days. 
Or put a strap around the cow’s body 
just back of the front legs and a stick 
from the strap to her halter, running the 
stick between her front legs, as shown. 
Don’t have the stick too long, and the 
cow can eat all right. Have perhaps 6 
in. of strap between the end of stick and 
halter. This allows the cow the use of 
her head. R. D. 
Nebraska. 
I have a cow inclined to suck herself, 
but with the arrangement shown she is 
unable to do so. 
A is a very loose strap around horns, 
giving about 2 in. play; heavy l^im 
strap. 
B is iron rod fastened solidly at C; not 
allowed to slip sideways. 
D is halter strap over nose. 
E is tin loop riveted to halter strap; 
rod slides easily through this loop. 
F is sharp point on rod; it does not 
interfere with grazing, as the play in 
strap around horns allows it to rise. 
Point should project about 2 in. below 
nose. M. w. 
New York. 
Regarding method to keep a cow from 
sucking herself, I have a cow that does 
the same, and I have put a surcingle 
around behind her front legs with a ring 
on both sides, and put a halter on her 
with a ring on both sides, putting a strap 
with a snap on both ends and snap it to 
the ring on the halter, and also to the 
rings on the surcingle, and she cannot 
get her head back on either side. I do 
not know if it will cure her or not, but 
she cannot do it tvhile she has it on, and 
it does not hinder her from grazing. I 
have kept mine for a couple of years that 
way. J. H. N. 
Mount Jewett, Pa. 
A cow can be prevented from sucking 
herself by putting an old horse collar on 
her. She cannot reach her udder around 
the collar. s. P. k.

Mildew on Sprouted Oats 
Is there anything I could put on oats 
when sprouted to keep it from mildew¬ 
ing? ..w. H. G. 
New York. 
Oats for sprouting should be treated 
with formalin when placed in trays and, 
if necessary, the trays themselves should 
be scrubbed with a stronger solution of 
this germicide before use. A teaspoonful 
of formalin may be added to each six 
quarts of the water used for soaking the 
oats before placing them in the trays, 
and a 50 per cent solution of this germi¬ 
cide may be used for scrubbing the trays. 
Rapid sprouting by means of plenty of 
heat, light and moisture will also help to 
prevent the development of molds.

Healing Cracked Hands 
Use glycerine and cider vinegar in 
equal parts for cracked hands. Wash the 
hands and apply at night. It can be 
used oftener. but it helps immediately. 
The vinegar neutralizes the alkali in the 
soap and the glycerine heals. H. c. s.
