“Air Treatment of Milk Fever. 
Let me give you my experience in one 
_. ase, which will be sufficient. I was 
~ called late one évening to attend a cow 
that was down, unable to raise her head, 
next morning word came over the *phone 
been wrong. The next : evening [ received — 
‘Word that ‘she was down again, the same 
48 before. She was treated again, and — 
‘she got up as before, but the following 
day we had the same experience, and at 
each visit the owner was talking about 
‘the large flow of milk he was getting. | If 
large amount of milk at one time was 
‘where the trouble lay, so he was ordered 
lays, but simply to do as nature sug: 
gested, and. that was, to! take a “ginal. 
amount from each’ teat, and ‘that’ fre- 
quently, | according. to the flow, Say fron 
four: to six or eight times a day. ‘There

many persons fail here for ‘the same

“getting good results in his. cooking by — 
‘following cine in cook books, 
someone asked him if he had ever tried 
any of the recipes for cooking, he said he: 
had tried a good many of them, but never — 
“had good restlts.. When asked why,, he. 
By said they <all began in tae same way,’ 
“take a clean dish,” and he couldn’t do. 
that very handily, ‘consequently. he gave.
