Paralyzed  Pig 
I  have  a  pig  about  four  months  old, 
which  seems  to  be  partially  paralyzed  and 
|  weak  in  the  legs.  It  is  very  hungry. 
Have  been  feeding  middling,  digest  tank- 
i  age  and  table  scraps.  It  will  not  eat  any 
green  stuff  at  all.  It  was  on  a  board 
floor  until  three  weeks  ago.  I  have  treated 
it  for  worms  with  turpentine,  two  table¬ 
spoons  daily  for  three  days. 
INew  York.  e.  A.  jones. 
It  is  quite  unlikely  that  the  pig  will 
survive  the  condition  described  and  the 
medicine  administered.  The  dose  of  tur¬ 
pentine  (pure)  for  a  pig  is  one  teaspoon¬ 
ful  for  every  80  to  100  pounds  of  body 
weight  and  this  is  given  once  daily,  in  the 
morning  meal  of  slop.  The  smaller  dose 
would  be  preferable  for  a  weak  pig.  It 
is  much  better,  however,  to  give  a  pig  30 
drops  of  oil  of  chenopodium  and  %  an 
ounce  of  castor  oil,  from  a  bottle  or  with 
a  dose  syringe,  for  every  50  pounds  of 
body  weight,  for  the  expulsion  or  destruc¬ 
tion  of  worms.  Feed  should  be  withheld 
for  24  hours  before  giving  the  medicine. 
Prevention,  however,  is  all-important  to 
prevent  rickets  and  paralysis  in  pigs. 
The  pig  would  not  have  got  into  the 
present  state  if  you  had  made  it  graze 
green  crops  every  day,  and  at  the  same 
time  had  fed  it  skim-milk  and  mixed  meals 
and  allowed  free  access  to  salt,  air-slaked 
lime  or  ground  limestone,  and  wood  ashes 
or  bonemeal.  Start  treatment  now  by 
giving  the  pig  a  tablespoonful  of  cod- 
liver  oil  twice  daily.  It  may  be  shaken 
up  in,  a  little  milk  and  given  from  a  bottle 
if  it  cannot  well  be  given  in  slop.  This 
treatment  is  to  strengthen  the  pig  and 
may  be  the  means  of  putting  it  on  its 
feet,  if  not  too  far  gone.  It  is  wonder¬ 
fully  effective  in  ordinary  rickets,  before 
paralysis  occurs.  To  give  additional 
stimulation  to  the  nerves  also  give  fluid 
extract  of  nux  vomica  twice  daily.  Start 
with  one  drop  at  a  dose  and  increase  the 
dose  one  drop  every  other  day  until  the 
pig  gets  up  or  some  alarming  symptom, 
such  as  great  restlessness  or  involuntary 
twitching  of  the  muscles  occurs.  If  the 
latter  results  happen  stop  the  medicine 
for  two  days  and  then  start  as  before. 
In  addition  give  rectal  injections  of  warm 
Avater  and  a  little  glycerine  two  or  three 
times  a  day  until  the  bowels  freely  re¬ 
spond.  This  may  be  done  by  means  of  a 
rubber  tube  and  funnel  or  a  fountain 
syringe.  Feed  the  pig  new  milk  contain¬ 
ing  an  ounce  of  limewater  per  pint.  Make 
the  limewater  by  slacking  a  lump  of 
quicklime  as  large  as  a  walnut  in  a  quart 
of  soft  water.  Let  the  lime  settle,  then 
use  the  clear  liquid.  Turn  the  pig  sev¬ 
eral  times  daily  and  once  daily  rub  into 
the  muscles  of  the  loins  a  mixture  of  1 
ounce  .each  of  pure  turpentine  and  aqua 
ammonia  and  1  pint  of  sweet  oil  or  cot¬ 
tonseed  oil.  It  may  be  added  that  in  such 
cases  the  feet  should  be  examined  for 
sometimes  bruising  causes  lameness  and 
inability  to  stand  so  that  local  treatment 
has  to  be  given.  A.  s.  a. 
Feeding  Cows  and  Yearlings 
1.  About  18  months  ago  I  purchased  14 
grade  Holstein  cows,  and  have  culled 
them  so  that  I  will  have  but  nine  milkers 
this  Winter,  and  naturally  would  like  to 
get  as  much  money  out  of  them  as  I  can, 
without  injuring  the  cows.  Having  ac¬ 
quired  this  farm  in  1922,  I  was  unable  to 
have  any  legume  hay  this  season.  I  have 
mixed  hay  and  silage  and  quite  a  lot  of 
corn,  which  I  wish  to  utilize  by  having  it 
ground  in  corn  and  cob  meal.  What  grain 
ration  would  you  suggest  under  these  con¬ 
ditions,  bearing  in  mind  that  keeping 
cows  is  not  a  hobby  with  me,  but  a  busi¬ 
ness  that  is  important  in  getting  a  living? 
Last  Winter  I  fed  the  following  mixture 
with  very  good  results :  400  lbs.  hominy, 
300  lbs.  gluten  and  100  lbs.  wheat  bran. 
Could  I  substitute  corn  and  cob  meal  for 
the  hominy,  and  would  the  cows  do  bet¬ 
ter  if  I  added  dry  beet  pulp  to  their  ra¬ 
tion?  If  so,  in  what  proportion?  2.  I 
have  five  yearlings  and  three  calves  that 
I  intended  feeding  ground  oats  as  a  grain 
ration  this  Winter.  If  I  feed  them  any¬ 
thing  else  I  shall  have  to  buy  it.  They 
did  pretty  well  on  ground  oats  last  Win¬ 
ter.  What  is  your  opinion?  R.  D.  F. 
1.  If  you  have  culled  your  dairy  herd 
from  14  cows  down  to  nine,  the  chances 
are  that  every  one  of  the  animals  chosen 
has  justified  its  retention.  This  principle 
of  selection,  based  on  economical  or  prof¬ 
itable  production,  is  fundamental.  The 
selection  of  cows  that  will  produce  milk 
economically  is  the  first  step  toward  suc¬ 
cessful  dairying.  The  ration  that  you 
fed  last  Winter,  consisting  of  four  parts 
of  hominy,  three  parts  of  gluten  feed  and 
one  of  wheat  bran,  would  yield  about  15 
per  cent  of  protein.  If  this  were  fed  in 
conjunction  with  Alfalfa  or  clover  hay, 
fairly  good  results  would  follow;  but  the 
addition  of  a  little  more  protein  and  a 
widening  of  your  range  of  selecting  in¬ 
gredients  would  substantially  increase 
their  yield.  Thinking  perhaps  you  are 
anxious  to  use  as  much  of  the  corn  and 
cob  meal  as  possible,  I  would  suggest  the 
following  mixture :  500  lbs.  corn  and  cob 
meal,  200  lbs.  linseed  meal,  200  lbs.  gluten 
meal,  100  lbs.  bran.  This  combination 
will  yield  slightly  more  than  19  per  cent 
of  protein  and,  while  it  lacks  bulk  and 
would  be  improved  by  the  addition  of  100 
lbs.  of  ground  oats  or  buckwheat  bran, 
you  will  find  that  its  use  will  enable  you 
to  make  milk  profitably.  Feeding  all  of 
the  silage  and  mixed  hay  that  the  cows 
will  consume,  I  should  feed  1  lb.  of  this 
grain  mixture  for  each  31/4  lbs.  of  milk 
produced  per  cow  per  day. 
2.  For  the  five  yearlings  and  three 
calves  use  a  combination  consisting  of 
seven  parts  of  oats,  two  parts  of  bran 
and  one  part  of  linseed  meal.  While  oats 
fed  straight,  if  accompanied  by  clover  or 
Alfalfa  hay,  make  a  fairly  satisfactory 
feed,  the  use  of  some  bran  and  a  sprink¬ 
ling  of  linseed  meal  provides  a  ration 
more  complete,  and  in  the  end  more  eco¬ 
nomical.  If  your  silage  is  of  good  qual¬ 
ity,  I  should  not  feed  any  beet  pulp  at 
the  present  prices.  I  take  it  that  your 
cows  are  animals  of  averagd  production, 
and  it  is  not  necessary  to  use  both  silage 
and  beet  pulp  with  cows  of  this  charac¬ 
ter.  F-  c-  51 •
