Sin: the discovery Of the air treat
ment for milk. fever dairymen are lit
tie concerned about this once dreaded
disease. 1t is prudent for any dairy
man to have instruments always ready
for the purpose Of giving the air treat
ment, which is very simple and can
be performed by any one in a few
moments.
When it is observed that a cow is
suffering from milk fever her teats
should be thoroughly washed with
soap and water and rinsed, especially
the ends, with solution Of coal tar
product, such as zenoleum, 'lysol, etc.
"A piece of heavy sheeting, which has
been placed in hot oven for.a short
time, should be placed under the udder.
The instrument used for Initiating the
udder with air should be placed in
boiling water for q few minutes. Care
should be taken not to place the I'm
gers on the portion Of the tube to be
inserted In the end Of the teat. In
lection Is likely to follow, unless care
is taken to thoroughly sterilize the
portion Of the instrument that is in
serted In the teat and to keep the teats
from coming in contact with the bed
ding or dirt Of the stable after they
are thoroughly washed and disinfect-
ed.
Each quarter Of the udder should
be inflated with air, and to keep 1t in
the udder small rubber bands or tape
may be wound about each tent. As a
rule, in an hour or two the animal will
recover sufficiently to rise and will
have desire to eat. If she does not
the treatment should be repeated In
two or three hours.
The air treatment is almost d posi-
live cure for milk fever. but there Is
danger Of injecting the udder unless
care is taken to thoroughly sterilize
the instrument used for Initiating the
udder with air and the teats before
starting to initiate the udder.

CARE OF THE uDDER

Cows udders can be developed at
any age, or, rather, light quarters or
sides Of cows udder can be made to
give an even amount Of milk with the
eide opposite. This we have proved
to our satisfaction on several occa.
sions. says D. NJ. Shontz in the No
tional Stockman. The process we
rather blundered on several years
ago when we had a COW come fresh
that had one side Of her udder much
more developed than the other and

The general appearance of an
Ayrshire as you look at her is
striking, being alert and full Of
life and reserved energy. She is a
healthy COW. rarely having all
ments Of body and udder, and you
seldom see an Ayrshire COW but
that has four healthy quarters in
her udder and gives uniform
quantity of milk from each. She is
a very persistent mixer, giving a
uniform, quantity we'll up toward
calving. and many OF them are
dried of with difficulty. AS dairy
COW she is particularly adapted to
the production of milk for the milk
man and for table use, as her me-,
dunn size. vigorous appetite and
easy keeping qualities make her
an economical producer, while her
even, uniform production makes her
q reliable supply. The Ayrshire cow
shown is McAllister's Betty. She
has a record Of 14.90S pounds Of milk
and $50 pounds Of hutter tat a. Q

Secret Of Success 10 Pure Bred Stock
and Proper Food.
Why more farmers do not make q
speciality Of raising swine is a mys-
terry to me, and why more Of them do
not choose the thoroughbred instead
Of the stub is still q greater mystery,
writea, fsans,evania bog grower In
Farm Journal. 1t costs no more to
feed thoroughbred than a grade or
scrub-in fact, not so much-and its
progeny is always worth several dol
lars apiece more for breeding purposes
than those Of no particular breed.
I aim to get my spring pigs on pas
ture as soon as possible. An acre Of
alfalfa ought to support twenty pigs
through FIVE or six months in the year.
Glover will do nearly as we'll. But
it is good plan to provide some other
pasture for early spring and late sum-
mer. For the spring there is nothing
better than rye. Pigs farrowed in
March can be turned into the rye with
their mothers as soon as they are old
enough to follow. and in few days
will learn to eat.
In the fall when the clover and alfal-
IA have become dry and woody feed
fodder corn which has not been plant
ed so thick that it will not grow a
large percentage Of ears. This feed

Of cornmeal and middlings. The corn
meal is fed sloppy and sparingly at
first, but gradually increased until they
are getting oil they will clean up three
times day. use plenty Of water at
first to make thin slop, but later use
only enough to make crumply dough.
Having no pasture for my fall pigs I
do the next best thing-use substi-
tute. My experience has been that in
order to grow a strong, thrifty hog
with plenty Of stamina and muscle you
have got to give him bulky food in
connection with the concentrate, the
same as you do other stock.
I do not do as the majority of feed
ers do-feed the entire clover or alfalfa
AS I find they waste too much, and
I never have any to waste. All hay
is we'll shaken in the barn floor before
1t is thrown down the chutes for
horses and cattle. These blossoms and
leaves are swept up daily and sacked.
and later taken to the hog entry. A
quantity of these leaves and bios
SONS is mixed with cornmeal and mid
dlings and thoroughly wet with hot
water.
I never knew what 1t was to have
fall pigs that would actually grow un-
til began using the foregoing meth

chew the food which, If fed in slop.
they would gulp down in a few min

consume daily would make some OF
those fellows who laugh at the idea
Of feeding hay to hogs open their

Cotton Seed Make. Hard Butter.

Cotton SEED Makes Hard Butter.
Both cotton seed and cottonseed meal
have a tendency to make hard butter
For that reason they are especially de-
sirable for dairy cattle in southern
climates 1t is not safe, however. to
feed more than four pounds cotton
seed per day on account of the In
furious effect 1t may have on the COW.
Professor Alvord of Texas Agricultural
college says that he prefers to feed
wheat bran or rice bran in connection
with cottonseed meal at the rate OF
five pounds bran to four Of meal. OF
this mixture the COW should be given
two-thirds Of pound for each one
quart Of milk she is giving.

Milk fever is invariably confined to

move her steps are unsteady and she
often staggers. She will not notice
her calf or her feed. In time she be-

unable to rise. Her head is usually
thrown to her side. The animal may
become so bad that she will lie on her

Voting Feed For Dairy Cows.

Nothing is gained by wetting feeds
before giving them to the COW. In
fact 1t is considered more or less in
furious, as the COW does not have to
chew the grain as much when wet as
when dry. The mouth secretes certain
digestive fluids necessary in the proc
