Production of Sanitary Milk 
I keep 12 cowe, and retail my milk in 
a nearby town. Inspectors have stopped 
me a number of times, but no one has 
ever come to inspect my stables or bot¬ 
tling place. The town has recently be¬ 
come a borough and I do not know 
whether my bottling place will pass in¬ 
spection or not. Could you tell me what 
the law is regarding the stable and bot¬ 
tling the milk in New Jersey? I asked 
the inspector who took samples of my 
milk to send me a copy of the law, but 
he never sent it. K. M. 
New Jersey. 
The essentials to bear in mind concern 
the sanitary conditions surrounding the 
production and handling of the milk. It 
is desirable to have cows which are free 
from disease, particularly tuberculosis. 
If raw milk is sold your borough will 
sooner or later demand that your cows 
be tuberculin tested. Ootherwise the 
milk should be pasteurized before sale. 
Information in reference to State and 
Federal testing can be obtained by writ¬ 
ing your State Chief Veterinarian at 
Trenton, N. J. 
To produce clean milk one must at 
least observe the following points. They 
represent the minimum requirements. 
1. Have the cow clean at milking time, 
at least the teats and udder. 
2. Use small-top milk pails that are 
sterile. 
3. Use sterilized utensils throughout 
your barns and battling plant. All 
equipment is best sterilized by the use of 
steam. 
4. Lastly, cool your milk as fast as it 
is* drawn. Try to cool to 50 degrees 
Fahr. or below, and keep the milk at 
this cold temperature at long as it is 
in your possession. J. w. b. 
Scours of Calves 
Will you please give me any informa¬ 
tion regarding what can be done for 
young calves that scour? I feed regular¬ 
ly, in clean buckets. J. A. B. 
Alabama. 
When new-born calves die of scours, 
in a day or two from birth, the disease 
is germ-caused, infectious, and either born 
in the calf or contracted by way of the 
navel or mouth. There is no medicinal 
remedy for that disease, which often is 
called “calf cholera” or “white scours,” 
but it may be prevented with a fair de¬ 
gree of success by the following treat¬ 
ment : Have the cow calve in a special¬ 
ly cleansed, disinfected, whitewashed and 
freshly bedded pen, or on clean grass pas¬ 
ture. The latter, however, may not be 
available in some parts of your State; 
therefore it would be best to supply a 
special calving pen and another similar 
sanitary pen for the new-born calves. 
At birth saturate the calf’s navel with 
tincture of iodine and then dust it with 
powdered starch. Repeat the applications 
daily until the navel is healed. I)o this 
with the navel of every new-born farm 
animal. Also cleanse and disinfect the 
cow’s udder and teats before the calf is 
allowed to nurse. If the disease is preva¬ 
lent also have each calf immunized at 
birth by hypodermic injection of poly¬ 
valent serum antagonistic to the disease, 
or the veterinarian may use white scour 
bacterin if the serum cannot be obtained. 
When older calves scour on factory or 
separator skim-milk, isolate the affected 
calves and cleanse, disinfect and white¬ 
wash the calf pen, including the floor. 
Then put in fresh, clean bedding. Feed 
skim-milk, bloodwarm, after removing the 
foam, and make the calves drink slowly. 
If possible feed it three times daily, when 
there has been trouble. In each pint of 
skim-milk fed daily mix one teaspoon of 
a mixture of one-half an ounce of for¬ 
malin (formaldehyde) and 15% ounces 
of boiled water, to be kept in a colored 
bottle. Limewater added to the milk at 
the rate of two or three tablespoons per 
pint is also helpful when calves tend to 
scour. 
To treat scours, give the calf a dose of 
castor oil in milk, and follow with a mix¬ 
ture of one part of salol and two parts of 
subnitrate of bismuth. The dose of the 
mixture is one-half to one teaspoon every 
three, four or six hours, according to age 
and size of calf and severity of attack. 
Give it in a little boiled milk, or put it 
on the tongue and wash down with milk 
or water. If that does not prove effec¬ 
tive, try the effects of triple sulpho-car- 
bolate tablets which you can buy at a 
drug store, with directions for use. A. s. A
