Filr many farther„ say that, while their s l tows e dom -,how an infected ted •udder dnring the summer, the 'trouble :flares all ill the winter.. time. Mastitis is a disease caused by .m invasion of organisms into the adder through the teat canal. Usu= ally this happens when the udder has been injured or chilled.. The organisms do not come from Some- thing the cow ate or drank. They must enter through the teat canal to get into the udder. When these organisms enter the Udder, they attack the milk -secret- ing tissue. The cow's body attempts a defense by replacing the inilk- secreting tissue with scar tissue. This explains why mastitis should Ile treated at once when discovered. if the infection is allowed to re- main, permanent damage is done,. Milk -secreting tissue can't be re- placed. There are several types of or- ganisms that produce mastitis. - They are found in dirty milking .machines, udders of diseased cows and in dirty stables and lots, Then when a cow's udder is bruised, the germs get their chance. Here are some of the comril.on causes of mastitis: 1. Cuts and scratches of teats or udder. 'These can be caused by barbed wire in fences or lying loose in the "yard, nails hi boards, etc. >. :x ik 2. Trampling by other cows. Stalls that aretoo narrow or short, or loafing sheds that are trio small, will lead to more teats stepped on by other cows: •3. Improper use of milking ma- chines. A good milking machine properly used won't cause masti- tis. But some dairymen set the vacuum too high, use old and bro- ken teat cups, let the pulsator become irregular, or leave the ma- chine on too' long. One day an . observer saw a 'Farmer Out the milker on a nice :heifer, then run out to feed the bogs. The machine stayed on the heifer 15 minutes, .actually pulling the teat inside out. < 4 4. Bruising and chilling, high door sills, gates which let cows .out to pasture but keep the hogs -in, cold, wet floors, dirty, muddy yards, ,leaving cows outside too Tong in freezing weather—all these give mastitis germs a chance. # :k `there are ways to prevent mas- litis. And prevention. is a lot cheaper than trying to cure the disease. Third, give your cows room. If you have a stanchion barn, uialie sure the stalls are long enough «c) a cow's s udderer wovi'f hang over the gutter and he stepped on by the next cow. )) ere's how to measure or stall size: Measure from the cow"s rail- head to a point over rile forear- (the point that pushes igailis',the manger when the cow reac')es for feed) and add three inclx3.

Milk the first two or three squirts into a strip cup by band. If the milk is abnormal, milk the cow last and throw away the milk. 1- k k Wipe udders with .a clean •cloth wrung from a warm, germicidal solution.

Most cows Can be milked cut in three to five minutes. Have your milking machine representa- tive check your machine periodi- cally. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
