QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
TREATMENT OF MILK FEVER.

fell and lay there until helped her UP,
and since then she has not eaten so heart
lily as before and has gone completely
blind. 1 have only had her a month. Have
fed her on cotton seed meal and hulls,
shucks and corn fodder. She has fallen
off considerably. Please tell me what to
do for her.
II you diagnosed the symptoms Of the
disease affecting your cow correctly, we
are Of the opinion that she IS suffering
from what is known as milk fever, and
II will probably be impossible to treat
her successfully after the receipt of this
information, but the treatment herein
given wilf prove helpful TO you hereafter
and to other readers who preserve it.
The best treatment for this disease is to
first place the animal in a comfortable
position, that is, propped up on the breast
bone Then milk the udder clean and
protect from the ground with cloths. Dis
infect the teats and hands thoroughly.
Dissolve two drains OF potassium iodide
in one quart of warm water. blood heat
that has previously been boiled. One
fourth Of this should then be injected in
each quarter OF the udder with a syringe
which should be carefully disinfected by
dipping In creolin or a carboIc acid solu-
ton. and rinsed off with boiling water
before It is used. In the inlet to the syr-
inge should be placed a glass tube pack
ed with a plug Of sterilized absorbent cot
ton and air pumped through it a few
times. The tube should then be disinfected
and washed and introduced into the teat
and air pumped into the udder. A bicycle
pump can often be used to secure the
needed supply OF air to pump into the I'D
der. This supplying OF air to the udder
is known as the oxygen treatment, and is
one Of the most effective remedies I'm cur
ing milk fever known at the present time.
You should be careful, however. to see
that the air is thoroughly pure before
attempting to pump 1t into the udder.
This is the reason for using the larger
tube containing the cotton which acts as
a strainer.
The cow should be kept in a comforta-
BILE condition and IL she does not rise to
her feet in a couple OF hours the air
treatment should be repeated. After she
is on her feet il her bowels remain mac

combined with one ounce OF ginger and
one dram OF nuX vOmica may be given
with good results. The nux vomica may
be repeated in dram doses every eight
hours for few days. The diet should
be restricted until a complete recovery
is made. The success Of this treatment
depends largely on proper antiseptic pre-
cautions. The air treatment, however
has proven effective in many instances.
and Il has often happened that air pump
ed into the udder with a bicycle pump has
effected a cure. but there is very grave
danger OF injecting the udder and causing

If you are satisfied that your animal is
affected with worms, proceed as follows:
Feed her sparingly for "a to 4S hours and
then give a vermifuge. The medicine
should be given, of course, on an empty
stomach and then followed by a brisk
pTrgative to expel the worms from the
intestines. Many things may be used
for this purpose, but there is probably
nothing better or easier to procure than
tupentine. The dose is about two ounces
for horses. The turpentine should be
well diluted with cotton seed oil or milk
SO as to make certain it will not blister
the mouth or throat. The dose should
be given once daily for two or three days,
and followed by a good purgative. There
is nothing better than EPSON salts given
as a drench at the rate of one to one and
a half pounds. After this treatment a
tonic condition powder is an excellent
thing for horses. One may be prepared
by mixing together the following mate
rlals: 2 ounces of powdered gentian root,
ounces of nuX vomica; ounces nitrate
OF potash and ounces sulphate of iron.
Give a heaping teaspoonful in the food
three times daily. You should take care
to give your horse only clean food and
that which is easily digested The feed
should also be nutritious and laxative in
character. If the above treatment is per-
sisted i'm for a little while your horse
should return to her normal condition.

TREATMENT OF FOUI. sHEATH.

S. H. p, wadley Ala, writes: have
a horse II years old that has had a foul
sheath for several years have re-
peatedly washed il out and creased it,
and it relieved him up until this year. but
it stays sore all the time now. Please
give me a remedy for this trouble.
In some animals there is a tendency
for the material excreted from the glands
of the skin of the sheath to accumulate
therein with the result that the free dis
charge of urine is prevented These de-
posts sometimes dilate the sheath to
considerable extent, and IL the urine is
retained the trouble is very much ag-
gravated thereby. In severe cases the
sheath may be distended and a mass of
decomposed material accumulated which
greatly annoys the animal In the long
run it sometimes causes general debility
of the system through the absorption of
the poisons which result from these ac-
cUmulations. The first and most inpor-
tant thing to do is to cleanse the sheath
by washing thoroughly with warm water
and soap, and afterwards apply a white
lotion. Il is sometimes necessary to
make an incision from the entrance of
the sheath backward in order to make
a free passage and to remove the irri-
tating materials. In geldings after thor
oughly cleansing the sheath should be
creased with fresh lard or vaseline, and
the treatment should be repeated fire.
quently in order to insure a return to
normal conditions. There is evidently
some abnormal formation in the case of
which you write and the trouble will
probably only be removed by splitting the
sheath, as suggested.

With everybody i'm the best of spirits
after the long wait under Keweenaw
point, the steamer Berwind this morn
ing slowly made her way into the local
harbor, says the Duluth Herald.
She was towed at once TO the Ber-

main where she is for the present, and
be taken to the drydock for repairs

The Berwind has been on the lake
since "Wednesday of last week. News
of her safety had been anxiously
awaited for several days. The special
wireless dispatch to the Herald printed
in last nights paper, relieved the anx-
ious feelings of many.

In addition, Christmas trees are
another source of danger. The can
