end appropriate treatment usually has to 
be given according to the exact condition 
found present. It may be advised, how¬ 
ever, that if all of the teats leak it would 
be well to milk three times daily and 
then to apply a little flexible collodion, 
each evening, to the orifice of the teats. 
Stop applying the collodion when it has 
caused soreness of the skin and some 
swelling of the treated part. If that 
treatment does not succed then we should 
advise you to swab the lining membrane 
of the orifice of each teat very lightly 
with tincture of iodine on swab of steril¬ 
ized cotton tied on a toothpick. This 
treatment will also be likely to cause 
swelling and some soreness. It may be 
repeated at intervals, as found necessary, 
and often proves successful. When it 
fails the veterinarian may think it ad¬ 
visable to apply a little blistering salve 
to the tips of the teats or their orifices, 
when the cow is dry, but we do not care 
to advise that treatment by the owner. 
Similar treatment may be tried when but 
one or two teats are affected, but as 
regards them it may be found better by 
the veterinarian to advise drying off the 
milk secretion or allowing a calf to nurse 
until the milk dries off when the condi¬ 
tion can be suitably treated during the 
resting period before the next calving. 
Warts on Heifer 
My heifer, two years old, has on its 
threat, belly, back and neck, what look 
to me like warts, only some are bigger, 
one especially on her thoat is as large as 
a White Leghorn’s egg. They are in 
bunches; the large one was the first to

come out. What is the cause? f. h. 
Maine. 
The growth described are warts, or 
“angle berries,” as some farmers call 
them. The cause of warts is not ex¬ 
actly known, but it is evident that the 
skin becomes abnormally stimulated or 
nourished, for some reason or another. 
We have never been able to satisfy our¬ 
selves that warts are contagious, although 
many people hold a different opinion. It 
would seem that in many cases irritation 
of the skin is the cause, but it is only 
young cattle that are commonly affected, 
with the exception of the teats of mature 
cows. The latter parts often become fair¬ 
ly covered with little warts, some of 
which have narrow necks. Irritation 
from the daily act of milking may be the 
cause. There are many superstitions re¬ 
garding warts of man, but few people ap¬ 
ply the same traditions to those of cat¬ 
tle, and the latter are not so likely to 
disappear spontaneously and quickly as 
are those of persons, which often have 
vanished mysteriously after an ocean voy¬ 
age or spell of sickness. 
When great masses of warts grow on a 
young animal they are likely to become 
necrotic in Summer and give off a foul 
odor. When that occurs it is possible for 
absorption of morbid matters to result, 
and the animal in consequence may be¬ 
come thriftless or emaciated. It is cer¬ 
tain that generous feeding should he a 
part of the treatment. In the case in 
question it would therefore be wise to 
start feeding some grain or meals in ad¬ 
dition to hay, and if some silage can be 
fed, so much the better. The hay, too, 
should be clover or Alfalfa, as a legume 
hay is the only complete roughage for 
growing cattle, containing as it does not 
only much protein element, but a needed 
vitamine and also necessary lime salts. 
Twist off the large warts that have nar¬ 
row necks, or pull them off with pinchers 
such as a blacksmith uses to remove a 
horse’s shoes. Then apply pine tar to 
the wounds. If the bleeding is excessive 
it may be stopped by light application of 
a hot iron, which causes very little pain, 
or one may apply Monsel’s solution >r 
powder. The objection to the latter ap¬ 
plication is, however, that pus may form 
under the scabs. If preferred, fine cord 
may be tied tightly around the base of 
any wart that has a slim neck, or small 
rubber bands may be put on and in time 
will cause the growths to slough off; but 
we consider removal by twisting or pull¬ 
ing much the better treatment. Masses 
of small warts will disappear in time if 
covered daily with a thick paste of cold- 
pressed castor oil, salt and sulphur, or 
even fresh axle grease.
