show the soft, delicate membrane
which in a healthy condition is of
uniform color, but if the cow is af-
fected by abortion the disease can be
characterized by the little red pimples
upon the membrane. The cow is re-
quired to be quarantined at least a
month and the bull two weeks. Dur
ing this time of probation the sheath
of the bull should be flushed out twice
daily with one part to one thousand
solution of chloride of zinc. Other dis
infectant solutions of the same
strength should be used daily to wash
the external generative organs of the
COW, or she may even have few
vaginal injections if there is the
slightest discharge of suspected ma
ture.
The bull should have the same treat
ment as given above after each SER
vice. When released from the quar-
antine, the pregnant COWS should have
the external treatment throughout
pregnancy, if the abortion has been
prevalent in the herd. All COWS that
have aborted are to be kept separate.
All such COWS again with calf are to
be kept separate. All bred heifers
that have not previously aborted are
to be kept with pregnant COWS that
have never aborted or have never
been exposed. 1t is quite essential to
put the cow in a box stall away from

side a healthy animal, or an animal
may switch her tail and transmit the
discharge to the healthy one. The
abortion is by means of bull which
has been affected with abortion germs.
After it has been running in herd
for several years COWS frequently be-
come immune to it and after they
have aborted three or four times they
may carry the calf for the full length
of time and still be affected by the
germ of abortion, and while COW
apparently may not seem to be af-
fected, she may spread the contagion
to COWS associated with her in the
same stable or may transmit the dis
ease by means of the bull during the
time of service 1t is also frequently
known that COWS will become immune
to such an extent that even the germ
will disappear We find in herds
which have been affected in this way
that for some reason or other these
germs will disappear and for years
no more cases of abortion will occur
and the contagion may never reenter
until it is reinfected.
Prevention is the best cure for abor-
ton In buying animals first quaran-
tine the newly purchased COW and bull
until properly disinfected and see that
they have no abnormal discharges.
Abortion may sometimes be detected
by spreading the lips of the Vagina to

TO PREVENT ABORTION.
prof. 0. Erf.)


Abortion has become one of the SER
ious problems of the dairy, and due
preventives are necessary in every
herd in order to make them profitable
and to prevent diseases. There are
two kinds of abortion, one in which
the animal was hurt through some ac-
cident which caused her to eXpel the
fetus; and secondly, by contagious
abortion, which is caused by microbes
and bacteria which infect the genera
tive organs of the female or may be
carried there by tainted bull. The
disease may be conveyed by vaginal
incubation with discharges from dis
eased COWS. The germ finds access
through the vagina to the womb, and
due to the irritation caused by the
growth of the germ discharge comes
from the affected animal, and this dis
charge contains the contagious germs
which have the power to infect other
COWS. This discharge may be trans
mitted to the vagina of the healthy
COW by laying down in manure near
an animal which has been affected or
by an animal standing in a stall be-
