Milk fever is a disease of rich milk
ers, usually attacking mature cows
and it is a disease common to dairy
cattle, the beef breeds, although usual
~ in higher condition than the dairy
cattle, not being so subject to it, says
the state veterinarian Of Pennsylvania.
After much study the conclusion was
reached that it is due to the activity
of the udder and to some poison orig
mating in the udder. After many
years of experimenting DIR. Schmidt
produced his famous iodide of potash
treatment. injecting the solution into
the udder. Experiments made by 100
Pennsylvania veterinarians showed
that this treatment resulted in the
saving of 81 to 50 per cent of the cases,
the mortality previously being not less
than 30 per cent. The veterinarians
observed, however, that in treating
milk fever with iodide of potash in
jections the treatment was most sue
cessful when some air was injected
into the udder, and some fellow being
out of the medicine injected air alone,
which was successful. This led to the
conclusion that the germs in the udder
were of the class which cannot survive
in oxygen and that probably the oxy-
gen of the air was the germicide.
Therefore why would not pure oxygen
be better? Experiments have shown
that oxygen is the best treatment yet
produced. Oxygen can be secured in
small cylinders holding forty gallons
compressed, which will be sufficient to
treat half dozen cases. The first cost
of these cylinders is about $40. After
that it costs about 81 to refill them.

In the growing Of Eveet peas too
much stress cannot be placed upon the
necessity for early and deep planting
If vigorous growth and luxuriant
bloom are desired, says a writer in
Floral Life. It is an advantage though
by no means an essential, if the trench
es are dug in the fall Of the year, then
covered with boards to keep the soil
in good condition When this precau-
ton has been taken the seed may be
planted quite early, with excellent re-
suits, for, like its relative, the gar
den pea, although freezing weather
will check the growth of the sweet
pea it will not be permanently Injured
and only waits the sunshine to take up
again its work Of growing
When the digging of the trenches as
well as planting has been left for
spring, begin the work as early as the
weather will permit. The trenches
should be at least one foot in depth,
and all the better if two feet, to in
sure the roots plenty Of protection
from the heat later on and deep soil
to draw upon, for they are gross feed
ers. A layer of rich soil should be put
on the bottom of the trench. A mixture
of thoroughly decomposed COW manure
and good garden earth or other rich
deep soil makes a good bedding. As
the plants grow the trench must be
filed in with the prepared soil until
even with the surrounding ground.
As soon as the plants show the slight
est tendency to vine they should be
provided with support to which the
tendrils may attach themselves.

for many failures in sweet pea culture.

neither so thrifty nor is the bloom so
rich in color or so abundant as when

grower should remember that to be
prodigal in the cutting of the bloom is
the surest. way to secure an increase.
