ANSWER.
1t is possible that your cockerels
have what is known as a dry cold,
which often affects their growing. but
at this season. of the year 1t Is not
likely TO hurt them. You should use
one-half grain of pomanginate of pot
ash in one gallon of their drinking
water. This will keep the trouble
from spreading and will relieve them.
Their roosting quarters should also
be changed and let them have plenty
of fresh air. 49,
Pelham. Ga: I have a Jersey
COW with her third calf. When
her calves are between one and
three weeks old she has hollow
horn and her throat swells in diff
ferent places, sometimes under her
Jaws and then again about half
way between her head and Shout
ders and she seems sluggish and
does not eat very much and gets
very thin. Thanking you for any
information, 1 am,

ANSWER.
There is no such thing as hollow
horn or. hollow tail among cows
known as a disease. All cows have
hollow horns and a loose hollow
place at the end of the tail. These
do not affect an animal at all and
it is cruel to either bore cows
horns or cut her tail. Some other
trouble is. the cause. From the de-
scription given your COW shows
symptoms of tuberculosis and you
should have her tested by a veteri-
marian for this trouble. II she re-
acts she should be killed as you
would not like to use milk from
any COW that Will react from a tu-
berculine test, and from Iue de-
scrlption given your COW certainly
shows symptoms Of same. =.
