OF TIM DAIRY OQW. Le order of freqUeney ot occurrence and ecenennie • importance to the dairyman, are :tuberculosis, abortion and garget. On this subject E. H. Lehnert, professor of veterinary sci- ence al the Connecticut Agricultural College, spoke to a, recent field meet- ing of the ConneCticut Daitarmants Association. With tuberCulosis it was advised to use great care in looking after the animals with. ref- erence to :general hygiene, viz., ven- tilation, drainage, food, etei,' as well as breeding, in order to obtain and keep physically strong animals. He also advised use of tuberculin by the individual and to • take advant- age of the cattle commission, as it Is for the dairyman's individual good as well as the public in general. With abortion he laid moststress and time on the so-called contagious form. He advised doing everything possible to keep things absolutely clean (aseptic), the isolation of aborting animals, the liberal use of 5 tc): 10 per cont, soltition of eulpho napthol for external wasbn for both affected ' and pregnant cows, supple- mented by use of lime or other dist- infectent on floor and in gutters. The affected cows should be washed out daily, cts long as &Mimeo persisted, with 3 to 5 per cent solution or sul- phcf impthol, using 3 to 4 feet of one- half inch rubber hose and funnel as preferable to it pump, as it is less ir- ritating, Some stress was laid on the care of the bull. ITe advieed -use .01 some wash as above, and also frequent syringing of the sheath, as there is no doubt that the bull is a prolific disseminator of tiie disease. FT) FOOD .-11 COWS.
