THE MILK FEVER CAN Be PREVENTED.
Nervous Disease Which Yields to Simple Treatment Nature
May Be Assisted BY the Use Of milk Tube
and Clean Bicycle Pump

As spring is coming and time for
the cows to sreshen, the farmer can
not afford to lose the best cow he has
in his herd after he has wintered her
and is looking forward to big flow
of milk the coming season. One of
the worst diseases among dairy cattle,
and disease that always takes the
best COW, is Milk Fever.
Milk Fever Is a nervous disease
which develops in COWS from one to
four days after calying. 1t attacks
mainly heavy mixers and animals
that have been well fed and in full flesh
The disease is most frequent in the
hot season, although it may appear at
any time in the best class of cows.
The first symptoms show while the
COW is on her feet, unsteady gait, stag
gering, partial loss of control Of limbs,
loss Of appetite and constipation. In
one to four hours, the COW lies down
and loses complete control over both
motion and sensation. Although she
may move the head and limbs, she is
not conscious of it. Sometimes the
head will be dashed against the floor
and even break the horns and not
show any sense of feeling. Again, the
head will be placed in the flank and
held perfectly still, as seen in the cut.

lished in many of the counties of this
state, and it may safely be undertaken
by any ambitious young man. The
American sheep growing industry is
in its infancy, especially as regards
the mutton breeds. With the gradual,
IL not alarming, decrease of meat-pro-
ducing animals that is going on in this
country as shown by the last census,
and with their increasing population,
there must be prosperous future for
the mutton breeds of sheep in state
80 well adapted to their natural habits.
New England, the middle and north
west states may stick to and enlarge
the dairy industry, but West Virginia
must appeal to the shepherd because
of it's favorable environment. eli
mate, soil, water, grass, hills, noun
tains, wales and cliffs all proclaim It
the home of the sheep and the shep-
herds paradise. The pillow is driving
the sheep up into the mountains to
convert the rich heritage growing
there into human food and clothing.
The hoard of worthless dogs that
prowl and slay must give way to the
on-coming of the golden hoof and the
emblem of peace, prosperity
and civilization-must take the place
of the skulking ours and wild animals.

InIectional Syringe and Teat Tube.
any liquid whatever is put down the
patient, it is liable to go on the lungs
and cause pneumonia. Therefore no
attempt should ever be made to ad-
minister medicine by the mouth in
Milk Fever. The present and only up
to-date treatment is simply to initiate
the udder tight with pure, clean air,
and surely any farmer should be COM
petent to do this. A milk tube and
clean bicycle, pump will answer the
purpose nicely, but a simple and much
better device is shown in the above
cut, with clean cloth or cotton tied
over the end where the air passes into
the tube and a milk tube fastened in
the outflow. The covering over the in
flow is simply to strain out the dirt
and Impurities from the air After
the udder has been pumped full of air,
tight, you should squeeze the end of
the teat tight between the fingers for
a half-minute and the air will not
escape. Do not tie a string around the
teat, because this is liable to cause
trouble.
All farmers should possess this sim
pie device and milk tube, which only
costs from % to 30 cents, and he can
cure the worst cases Of Milk Fever.

For the farms reporting sheep the av
erage is about 20 ewes, but for the
whole number of farms in the state
the average is about 5 ewes per farm.
It Is Of easy demonstration that the
number Of sheep on the farms in West
Virginia might be doubled with profit
to the farmers as well as to the entire
state In addition to those on farms,
as many more might be kept on the
rougher mountain lands which are not
classed as farm lands. Sheep are by
nature mountain climbers, and with
proper care and attention they would
profitably utilize much of the area of
West Virginia which can not be used
in any other way. The surface of the
rougher lands will always be compar
atively cheap, and may be purchased
where the valuable timber has been
taken off, at low price, and all that
is necessary to start a sheep ranch is
good woven wire fence and small
bunch of sheep. Instead Of having to
wait ten years for any return upon
the investment, some income can be
realized the very first year. Profita-
BILE returns may be expected each year.
AS the flock increases from year 10
year, the better and smoother parts
of the land may be cleared and sown
to grass for winter feed CT planted in
corn to produce silage for the same
purpose.
Starting with comparatively small
capital with no fear of hard work and
fondness for the, business, profitable
sheep industry may be easily estaD-

A Cow III from Mix Fever.

The old saying, "An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure" is
true in this disease, and, as we know
the disease appears from one to four
days after calving, it is best to give
the COW spare diet. keep the bowels
loose with succulent foods, as cabbage,
beets. carrots, ETC. A purgatiye Of Ep-
som salts would be good. Keep the
COW indoors during the flush of grass
and feed a. scant ration Of dry food
with plenty of water, and there need
be no fear of Milk Fever
