MILK FEvER A pEsPERATE case

EDITOR CENSOR: Three weeks before
she calVed my best COW was TUNED out
to dry off. We found it necessary to
milk her often and the day she calved
her mixer wished one would have
calf for it was a waste to give a pail of
her milk to ,ne hogs every morning.
The calf came about noon and at three
o'clock | went to the woods and drove
up mother and calf intending to keep
close watch, as feared milk fever.
At FIVE O'Clock she was driven with
others into the barn and she fell down
into the ditch near hen place. | knew
what that fall meant and soon four Of
US had dragged her out o; doors. The
theory now is that milk fe-er, ~k;ch
by the way, is no fever at all, Tie tenn
perature often being sub-normal, IS
caused by a poison generated in the
milk, and so we set to work to milk
her out as clean as possible. While
that was ~"ing on | went to the house,
got a mIHIng tube and attached it by
short rubber hose to a fifteen-cent BIZ
cycle pump | first boiled the tube in
water and made a pretty strong solu-
ton of carbOllc acid with which to wash
the teats and udder. A rag was torn
into strips and | proceeded to initiate
the four quarters Of the COW s udder

that to keep the air IN. Two hours lat

them. At daylight she had changed so
could milk the other two teats, and
two more were inflated during the day,
always taking care to wash the udder
with carbOlic acid solution and to have
the tube dipped in the solution before
using. Thirty hours after she fell the
COW got up. turned her to grass; in
a week she was all right and now is
giving two pailfuls a day.
Milk fever always takes the best
cows, is a terribly rapid disease and
costs this country probably hundred
valuable cows every year. worth seven
ty-fve dollars apiece There were three
or four hundred of us old farmers at
Madison and the professor was showing
us how to cure milk fever. A farmer
said his COW had the fever and he took
hcn's quill and bicycle pump and in
iiated her bag with that. did she
hve?' queried the professor. Yes. "
(Applause)
If you keep cows and are near vet
Urinary, get him in case of milk fever
and get him quick Left alone my COW
would have been dead before morning.
If far from a veterinary nave that
milking tube and bicycle pump, some
anti-septic solution and go ahead.

DETAILS OF oDLun.s DEATH
Automobile Turns Turtle While Sliding
Down S.sep Grade


The following taken from Seattle
9ally PAL ~ tells how W. A. Odlum met
I his death.
Mr.. Odlum had gone to Seattle from
North Adams, Michigan. as real
estate agent for II. e. Orr e 90 Al
. o clock last Friday he was driving in
a White Steamer auto, on Fifth avenue
west, when the machine turned turtle
Edward KOeppel. the chauffeur. iunped
just IN time to save himself. but Odlurp
who was seated a. his side, was caught
beneath the car. His skull was frac-
tured. DR.. u. G. Gates. who took him
to the Wayside Emergency hospital ard
who attended him there, stated IT, /.
there was no hope for the mans re-
cOvery, and he died about 10 O'Clock.
Coming down Fifth avenue the grade
IS very steep, about 10 per cent. The
Chauffeur wanted to take a street less
steep, two blocks west, but as the mas
senger wanted a sho 't-cut they took IL
The driver lost he steam. which shut
off the powe. of the car. He applied
the brakes, but the Car was already
started backwards down the hill and
was gaining momentum at every inch
Then Koeppel applied the emergency
brake. 1t two was carried away. The
heavy automobile was ccasting back
wards down the steep incline. While
running at terrific rate of speed it
struck the curb and turned completely
over, imprisoning OdIum beneath it
Koeppel, realizing that the car was
about to strike the curb, leaped from
his seat just in time to save himself.
1t is said that all wheel traffic, es
peciaily that of autos, should be kent
off Fifth avenue on that point. 1t is
declared unsafe for pedestrians when
there are vehicles there.
When the driver started up the grade
he had 200 pounds of steam. He real
lied when he had gone short distance
that he had not power enough, and
started to slide down the hill. His
brakes would Mt hold and he knew that
he would have to get in to the curb and
shoulder it in order to check its speed.
Chauffeur Koeppel thinks Odlum
started to jump at the same time Keep
pei did, but was caught. KOeppel had
been in the automobile business five
years and was considered an expert
driver This was his first accident and
it happened on Friday the thirteenth,
the day of superstition.
