Nine-Tenths of the Cases Of This
Annoying Disease Are Caused
By Taking Cold. ,r u ID.

Many complaints are in about, this
malady, and this will answer all = Of
them. In the first place, cows prop
erly cared for rarely have this trouble.
The udder of deep milking cows is
very sensitive, and nine-tenths of the
cases are caused by taking cold, says
tho Dairy World. Recently one Of the
windows in q cow barn was raised a
little in a warm day and was left open
during the night. The next morning
the COW standing nearest the window
had a swollen tudder. :. During the
night she took cold from the draft and
it settled in the udder. Closing the
window after the evening milking
would have avoided the trouble. For
treatment the udder was frequently
bathed with hot water, scrubbed Wig
orously until dry and vaseline was ap-
piled. Generally q physic is recon-
mended, but with the. treatment de-
scribed We have not found it neces-
sary. At this season many COWS are
fresh, and If allowed to lie on the
damp ground they are likely to take
cold, especially If they have been we'll
housed during the winter. II the I'D
der begins to cake before calving fol-
low the remedy prescribed, and milk
out. OF course the best way is to pre-
vent this chief cause. Daily access to
salt is important because If, salt Is
given only occasionally they will take
too much, causing abnormal thirst fol-
lowed by drinking too much cold
water which often results in q cold.

UNIQUE CHURN ROCKER.

der is to hold cracked ice when the beast
has been on the rampage, or hot or cold
water, as the case may demand. "A spigot
of a nose gives forth buttermilk when
the butter is formed, and, altogether,
that blue hobby horse is fearfully and
wonderfully, made.
For the busy farmers wife, this blue
hobby horse offers visions of, the mill

wink its eye and walk twice around the
red barn. - Sue
There are several ways of keeping the
horse at a trot, and, incidentally, the
milk at butter pitch. A string attached
to the beasts neck, like bride, will
keep it going at fair pace by an occa-
sional jerk. A foot on the rocker as the
housewife does the weeks mending will
bring pot of butter into existence with
no effort whatever; and the third and
last method is the best Of all. It Offers q
double inducement. Put the baby on
the hobby horse and 60 on about your
business. The baby can get butter out
ofthat churn - well 90 the next one. TO
be sure, he doesn't know that he'schurn-
ng. The baby, If he has leisure in
which to think, probably fancies he's
having a tremendous horseback ride,
just like papa. He doesn't dream that
he's being useful. Babies seem to have
a deep-rooted dislike to being useful. No
doubt any well-regulated baby asked to
jump on his horse and do the weeks
churning would rebel. 81, "a
But tell him to 60 play with his hobby
horse, and while he's hunting up his
riding whip surreptitiously fill the beast
with sour milk. The result is butter
without any worry or work, and the baby
is amused. Every farmre should have

and no better meat do we have on our
table. No sickness, none killed by dogs;
they come to their house every night
without help. The most care we have is
in dipping them twice a year., The kids
are hardy. We have saved one for every

when rainy.
Our fence is stone wall (see cut), two
wires; posts are on pasture side. That
is our way for cattle. For Angoras and
sheep sticks are driven In the wall and
nailed on post or stake; top Of that are
put small poles and brush; If no wall
then woven wire is best. We sell the
kids for six dollars, the does, eight dol

have none with meat. Our cattle and
Angoras go together in pasture. With
us there is more real gain in one An

kill the sheep. Forty cents a pound is
about the price for unwashed fleece; ours
average about three pounds. The kids
