best treatment to use is to discontinue
feeding cotton seed .--eal while the
COW is effected. and feed two table
spoonful of sulphur in her feed each
day. After each milking the udder
should be washed with any good anti
septic used in warm water This will
keep the soreness out and will help
materially in helping the affected
parts. It has been unusually bad this
season all over the country. The milk
is all right and it does not affect
same.
Atlanta, Ca: Please tell me where
] can get some books about Belgian
Hares. How much can you sell Bel
gian Hares for I'm Atlanta? Does il
matter if you leave males and fe-
males together all the time? What
is the best green food that you can
plant for rabbits?
Thanking you in advance, I remain,
A READER.
ANSWER.
You can get a book on Belgian
Hares of the American Stock Keeper
Publishing company. Boston, Mass,
for so cents. Bel gian Hares usually
bring 81 each in Atlanta. 1t is best
not to keep the males and females to-
gether as the males will kill many
of the young ones. The best green
food you can plant for rabbits is al
falfa
Conner. Gal have 2 COW that
has a calf ten days old and her
udder has infiamed. 1t is hard and
lumpy and has a high fever in it.
There is one tit that l can get no
milk out of. If there is any remedy
that you can give me l will appre-
ciate it very much.

ANSWER.
The best thing you can do for he
cows udder is to battle same twice
a day in warm, salty water and rub
the udder good. Do not feed any
cotton seed meal while the bag is IN
this condition. The tit that does not
milk will probably go blind unless
the milk is kept drawn from it. A
good strong calf to nurse the cnw
after you have MIXED all you can
get will do as much to relieve the
trouble as anything you can do.
There is no special treatment that
you can give other than a good
massage
day to the affected parts.
River View, Ala.
81 have some puppies about three
weeks old and the fleas are on them
real bad. Have used walnut leaves
and insect powders but they have no
effect What can I do to destroy
them? ] once had your articles on
dogs but they got misplaced and
want to ask YOU to send me your
directions for treating puppies for
worms and is IT necessary to do so.
Also what is the best feed for pup
pies and at what age can they
safely be taken from the mother?
Thanking you for past favors and
in advance for this one, / am.
Very Respectfully,
B. B. McGINTY.
ANSWER.
If you will sprinkle salt around
where the puppies stay it will do
as much as anything towards kill
ing the fieas and the puppies should
be washed in Life Bouy Soap and
leave some of the lather on them.
This will keep the fieas off for sew
eral days but will have to be repeat
ed. They should be washed in tepid
water and wiped reasonably dry.
Glovers Vermifuge is the best worm
medicine 1 know of for puppies and
should be given them when about
four weeks old and again at eight
weeks. They should be allowed to
nurse as long as they will. The
best feed you can give them is
soup made from beef and thickened
with well cooked pearl grits or corn
meal. Pearl grits added while not
TO fresh sweet milk is also good
feed for Them
