INJURED UDDERS.
Treatment For Severe Cases That Will
Afford Quick Relief.


Afford Quick Relief.
Many times the wounds and inju
ries are slight and involve only the
superficial structures Of the gland, and
no well marked symptoms are pres
ent. In these cases no special treat
ment Is called for, as nature under ia.
vorable circumstances will soon effect
a cure.
There Is nothing that affords greater
relief and so quickly as application
Of hot water or poultices to wounded
or injured udders. Wooden cloths
wrung out Of hot water and held
against the affected part several times
daily will be followed with good re-
suits. Where the pain or soreness IS
excessive an anodyne, opium or bella
donna may be added to the water
Follow the applications OF water with
soothing ointments or anodyne llni-
ments. These should be rubbed in
well and the udder gently hand rub
bed. Belladonna or camphorated ONT
ment is very valuable remedy where
the pain is severe, or the tinctures Of
belladonna or opium may be applied
direct where necessity demands It. It
is better not to resort to extreme
measures II they can be avoided. as
the results from these heroic meas.
ares are often injurious to the gland.
Cuts, decorations and Commissions are
treated In the COW the same as In man.
Where the wounds are large and gap
ing they should be washed out with
clean water and antiseptics. all ragged
edges removed and the wound sewed

full Of powdered acea nut every morn
Ing In feed for ten days and then a
physic ball. Substitute bran II you
give corn In his feed.
Horses With She'll Feet.
A horse that has poor or shell feet
must be treated carefully, as follows:
First see that they never become ex-
cessively dry. Poultice the feet for
two weeks In warm bran mash tied to
the feet in bags. Change twice a day.
After using 1t for two weeks mix two
drains Of cantharides with an ounce

weeks and apply again. If this is per-
sisted In new growth of horn will be

Hot water applications will often re-

good. The best plan is to prevent this
trouble by seeing that the udder Is

Coal Ashes For Lice.

for lice OIL hogs, horses, cattle and
chickens coal ashes are sure cure.

ashes and throw plenty in their sleep

colts put the fine ashes along the back
from the top Of the head to the tail

Treat cattle the same way.

Cutting Tushes From Pigs.
For cutting tushes from very young
pigs to prevent fighting while nursing
use any kind Of small tweezers or nip
pers. Cut or break them OFF even with
the gums. 1t is not generally neces-
sary unless the litter Is large. but is
then quite so. as 1t prevents the little
pigs from cutting each others jaws
and causing sores on the sides Of the
jaws

ECONOMICAL PRIZES.
Dainty Little Bows Made From Short
Lengths of Silk.

1t Is the custom to give prizes for
all game and contest entertainments;
therefore the woman who does much
entertaining Is ever on the lookout for
new ideas.
A girl who has not much money to
spend, but whose parties are enjoyed
for their informally and the touch Of
novelty found In the arrangements,
hit upon u set Of prizes for recent
card party that proved so popular
they may be suggestive.
Dainty handkerchief boxes covered
with stylish blue and white Japanese
paper were lined with white tissue
paper. and In each box were put two
belts ard two small silk bows to
match. Tinseled and fancy betting
was used, and the double bows were
not more than two inches across when
finished.
The belts can be picked up quite
cheaply when sales are watched, and
each tie takes less than an eighth of q
yard of silk. They are simple to make.
a consideration with n busy girl.
A pattern for each loop was a semi
circle about two inches and a half long
and two inches deep. The straight
edge was put on the fold Of the silk
and the material cut double. Four Of
these pieces were cut. and each one
was gathered around the curved edge
and drawn up into as tight a neck as
possible
Two loops were then sewed together
neck to neck. and one set Of loops was
placed on top Of the other and the
Joining covered with a narrow fold of
silk.
Half dozen such bows can be made
In short time. and II pretty colors
are chosen they are extremely becom-
Ing, besides making an artistic looking
gift when combined in the box with
shades.

two inches in depth might be desirable

This stall gives a cow three and
