McClurg & Co.] FLIES are a terrible torment at times and have much to do with the lessening of the milk flow. '.l'lte cows tire so worried and kept so busy tighting the flies that they lose much of the tune they should be feeding, and it is their semi - starved condition that largely causes the shrinkage In flesh and milk. Something should be doue to rid the cows of this fiy pest. The following mixture has been found as effective and less expensive than tunny of the fly remedies on the market: One gallon of fish or seal oil or old grease Of any kind, nue hint of coal oil (kerosene) and two ottuees ({'our table- spoonfuls) of ('1.1(10 carbolic acid. Mix well together laid apply with n Cloth or spray to all parts except the udder. Always pelt it on after milking to :Avoid the strong odor getting into tete milk. 1n dry Breather one applica- tion a week is usually sufiicieut. If the cows are out in :t heavy rain it will be necessary to go over them again. Another try remedy* is ten parts of lard or other grease to one part of pine tar. 111x well and apply with a brush or cloth once or twice a week to the parts most attacked. This is Splendid as a relief front the horn fly.

'rreattnent.--It Is usually a fatal mis, take to dose for milk fever. in many eases the muscles of the throat are paralyzed, and the cow, having no power to swallow, the medicine given goes into the lungs and often causes death. The treatment giving prompt relief In the severest cases and one to be re- lied on Is tilling the udder with pure oxygen or with common air by means of a bicycle pump or a rubber bulb syringe end a commoq milk syphon or similar tube. Pump the adder as full as possible and put a rubber band around the teats, or tie with tape to keep in the stir. Massage the udder so ' as to force the air to all parts. It may be necessary to repeat the inflation. This treatment usually effects a cure in a few hours. Do not give any med- icine. • Keep tho Stable Dark. It is a good plan to (darken the sta- ble during the day and to have the rvindaWS screened. To prevent the files that are on the cows from going into the stable with them arrange some evergreen bows, brush, brooms or sacking at the en- trance. As the cows pass through this many flies are brushed off and retrain outside. The housefly has always been a trou- blesome nuisance. but now it is looked upon as a very potent agent in spread- ing Such dangerous diseases as typhoid fever, cholera iufantutn. summer com- plaint, etc. If a cow shows symptoms of being i11 do not delay doing something for her. Begin at once to check the trou- ble. ];very dairy stable should have in It 11 medicine chest or shelf provided with such drugs as are commonly used in cares of sickness among the animals. <1 short list is given below.

Vonge and Alexander Ste, Mammitis—Caked Udder--lnfiamma- tion of Udder --target. Symptoms,—Usually at first the milk Is watery and sometimes discolored with blood and may contain clotted, curdy matter, and the part affected Is swollen and painful. In severe cases the cow will hnve a chill, and the limbs, ears and horns become cold, then fever will follow and the udder becomes hot, swollen and hard. The milk flow decreases or stops. The cow eats but little and does not chew her cud. Treatment.—Give oxygen treatment as described for milk fever and a good dose of salts. If the udder remains hard rub well with goose grease or camphorated oil. When the entire ud- der is caked take a piece of heavy cloth and put it under the uclder, mak- ing Incisions for the teats, and fasten ft ou top, placing straw or a pad on the back so as not to chafe the cow. This relieves the udder by easing the weight. • For inflamed Udder. Rub well after milking with liniment made from four ounces sweet oil, four ounces laudanum, three ounces of ex- tract of belladonna. Slimy or.Ropy Milk (Not a Disease).

By LAURA ROSE, Demonstrator and Lecturer It Dairying 'at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, Canada. ) [Copyright, 1911, by A. C. McClurg & Co.) BURY teats are caused either by weak muscles or because the teat opening is too large. Treatment. --Throw and tie the cow. Insert a milking tube in the teat to preserve the milk duct. (With a sharp knife remove .the skin from the end of the opening, making a good fresh wound. Draw the edges of the bole together ;with a few stitch- es, tying each stitch separately. Dress with a healing ointment. This should be done when the cow is dry and is better to be done only by a veterinarian. If the leak be through a hole on the side of the teat scarify- ing the edges of the opening with a sharp penknife when the cow is dry may cause the eitges to unite, To Cure a Sucking Heifer or Prevent Self Sucking. Insert in the heifer's or cow's nose an ordinary bull ring. dust before in- serting the ring slip on it a harness ring the same size, which bangs loose- ly after the bull ring has been insert- ed. This is a sure remedy. Impaction of the Rumen or Paunch. Cause.—The paunch becomes over- filled with solid food and its walls so paralyzed as -to lose the power of con- traction. Symptoms. --Enlargement ofabdo- men, the drumlike sound is absent, and when the part is pressed the indenture remains for some time. The animal is dull, her breathing heavy, grunts and grinds her teeth. Treatment. ---Give a strong purgative --one and a half to two pounds of salts and two ounces of ground ginger in two quarts of warm water. Follow up with two drams of nux vomica ev- ery six or eight hours until the bowels move freely. If the bowels do not move in eighteen to twenty-four hours give more salts. A little walking exer- cise helps the expulsion of the food. In bad. cases the cow is opened and the food removed by hand. This should be the work of a veterinarian.

If only slightly affected the animals may be fattened and sold to the butch er, for the meat is paid to be wbol.e- The milk, especially if the udder be iiuspected of being diseased, should be scalded for tate use of either tnan or beast. There Is no known cure. The only Sway is to test the cows and tteep those free of disease rigidly apart from the others. Drinking from the same trough, eating from the same stall, are easy means of spreading the dive ease. If the cow be a valuable one and the disease is not deeply seated she may be kept for breeding purposes, but the calf must not be allowed to suck any of its mother's inn, It the cow's mitts be thoroughly pasteurized it is then safe to feed, Rheumatism. Cause. --Exposure to cold and wet, especially when heated by driving. Lying on cold. floors or {standing in a draft. Symptoms. --If acute rheumatism sets in, there will be loss of appetite, rough- ness of coat and dryness of muzzle, bowels constipated, urine high colored, joints swollen. The symptoms of chronic rheumatism are similar, but less severe. Treatment. --Give two pounds of en. som salts and one ounce of ground gin- ger. Follow up with two dram doses of salleylic acid three times a day. Rub the joints well three times daily with camphorated liniment. Keep the animal warm and dry. Wounds or Cuts --Lacerated Udder. First stop the bleeding by tying a bandage of clean muslin directly -over the wound or above it. Often a bleed. ing artery will protrude. A thread eao be run under it with a needle and the artery tied. After the bleeding stops cut off the ragged edges of muscle with scissors which have been dipped in an antiseptic solution. Then bathe the wound with an antiseptic wast{. Let nature do the healing. Keep the wound clean and free from germs by frequently bathing it with the antisep, tic wash. Sometimes a cow's udder is badly torn on barbed wire or brush. Thor- oughly cleanse the wound with an an tiseptic wash, using, a syringe if ono Is at hand. Trim the rough edges and straw the cuts together with white silk thread, tying each stitch separately. Leave an opening of an inch at the lowest point of the wound. Insert in this opening a small piece of cotton wadding to help carry away any dis charge. Bathe the wound if necessary with a boracte or weak carbolic acid wash and renew the wadding. SVhen heated remove the stitches. Contagious Abortion, Abortion being a contagious disease, the germs will lurk about the stables and infested animals for years. Use some good disinfectant freely around the stalls, gutters, etc. Give Tympanitis or Bloating. Cause.— Eating fermented grains, rank clover, especially when wet or with the dew on it; raw juicy potatoes, etc., may cause fermentation and the accumulation Of gases. Symptoms. --The abdomen distended, especially over the left flank; the walls of the belly elastic to the pressure of the hand and when tapped giving a hollow, drumlike tone; breathing la- bored. Treatment. —If much distressed, prompt relief is afforded by puncturing deep on the left side into the flank four or fire inches from the spine and mid- way between the last rib and the hip bone. Ttt)is is best done with a trocar and eanula. If one is not at hand use a iznife and insert a large goose quill or something of the kind to keep the wound open to allow the gases to es- cape. Give from one to two pounds of ep- soin salts and an ounce of powdered ginger. Further fermentation may be prevented by a tablespoonful of chlo- ride of lime in a pint of water. In slight cases a dose of two ounces of oil of turpentine in a pint of raw lin- seed oil wilt generally dissipate the gases. No food should be given for twelve hours, and feed lightly for a day or two. impaction of the Third Stomach ar Fardel -bound. Cause. --A diet of coarse, indigestible food and insntfcient water to, drink; eating dried grass or leaves, etc. Symptoms,--Itefuses to eat; ceases to Chew cud; to some eases slight diar- rhoea, followed by constipation; bead carried low; doll, painful expression; Wands still or Iles down with head ex- tended; gives a short grunt during ex- pifation; advanced stages --staggering gait, impaired sight and sometimes syittptoms of frenzy, ',t'r'eatment.—Same as for Impaction of rumen.

As a preventive give the other cows the same dose twice a day for the same length of time. Some dairymen dose their cows in this way with carbolic acid every two ar three months just in case this dreaded disease might break out. Another simple method, which can be used when cows are in pasture, Is to mix thoroughly 100 pounds of barrel salt, pounded tine, and one pound of crude undiluted carbolic acid or four ounces of the acid to twelve quarts of salt. Give to the bulls and cores as one would ordinary salt. Retention of the Afterbirth, In case the afterbirth does not eou:e away give a few doses of carbolic acid (forty drops), and no other assistance will be necessary. Burying Diseased Antr.rnfs.
