QUESTIONS A. kt.

Alma. Ga: am coming to you
for a little information. I have a
Jersey COW that is sick some way.
She seems to be weak in her legs and
she can't hold her head still. Her
head shakes like someone with the
palsy She has a young calf but to-
day is the first time she has acted
like there was anything the matter
with her. / would be glad for any
Information you can give me.
A SUBSCRIBER.
ANSWER.
The trouble with your COW Is that
she has what is known as milk fever
or petulant apoplexy. This usually
comes after the calf is As hours old
and in nine cases out of ten kills the
cow. This kills about as many cows
as any other one thing, except
ticks Air treatment of pumping the
udder up with sterilized air will save
them, even after they are practically
dead. This is the only way large
per cent OF them can be saved.
milk tube or needle is inserted in the
opening of each tit and air with any
ordinary double pump air pressure
syringe is used for this purpose.
Each section of the udder is pumped
up with as much air as 1t will hold
and inside of a few hours the COW viii
recover. You cannot give them any
thing internally that will bring relief
as they are paralyzed and cannot
swallow and you will strangle a COW
IL you attempt 1t. There is a little
instrument made by Piling G. Son. at
Baltimore, which only costs So and is
made especially for this purpose, and
has been the cause Of saving thou
sands of valuable COWS. Anyone keep
ing a good COW cannot afford to be-
without this instrument at calving
time. In case of emergency when this
cannot be had. the old treatment for
this purpose was by using an ordinary
fountain syringe with a milk tube
and applying one-half gallon of steril-
ICED water in each quarter of the I'D
der. to which had been added one
grain of iodide of potash to each
quarter. The simple treatment of in
fating each quarter with the air that
was naturally carried on from this
treatment was really the cause of the
cure. An ordinary bicycle pump with
a milk tube on the end can be used,
but il Is likely to carry some con-
tamination in the udder that would
probably destroy it. Absorbent cotton
is used TO sterilize the air made by
piling so as to prevent this trouble,
but rather than to lose the COW which
is sure TO happen If not treated, 1t
is better to resort to the bicycle pump
or the ordinary fountain syringe and
administer treatment If the other
cannot be had.
If you had given me your name
and address instead of signing Sub
scriber." / would have either tele-
graphed or, written you Immediately
what to have done, but unless 1t is
one case out of ten your COW will be
dead before you get reply through
the paper as il usually kills in ten
hours after being affected, However,
/ hope such is not the case with your
COW.

Rock Hill. S. c. Please give
me by return mail what is the
matter with my chickens and
what to do for them. About six
weeks ago I had a hen to show up
with the side of her head swol-
len to such an extent that her eye
was entirely closed. The swollen
part seemed to center just below
the eye. 1t was hard and in the
shape of an abscess. Her comb,
eyelids and the whole side of her
head was red or rosy. 1t did not

would come from her eye and nose.
No treatment did any good. II
gradually went away without af-
fecting the eye, only left 1T small
er than the other. l now have
rooster affected in the same way,
only his is in both sides of his
head His eyelids are a blush
color as if they had been bruised.
His comb and gills are bright red.
The comb is sore in one place and
has a thick scab on it. Ny young
chickens are affected in the same
way. Their eyes are entirely
closed and they die by the half
dozen a day. I also had a hen to
become paralyzed or something like

Any information will be greatly APP
preciated.
r. S. PATTILLO.
ANSWER.
l do not think it good idea to
give medicine, or anything else to
little ducks or chickens as it will
come nearer killing them than curing
them. Sometimes a brood of ducks are
naturally Matched OFF weak, coming
often from weak parent stock and
will not live under any kind of treat
ment.
A little vaseline given each of
your ducks that are effected would do
more good than anything else. The
feed you are feeding is all right,
provided the bread is not moldy and
the milk is absolutely sweet. They
should not have water before them
at all times. Give it to them while
eating and it should be removed at
forwards.

PRESSMEN GO
ON A STRIKE
Chicago Afternoon Newspapers Unable
) to- Print Until Late in the Day
Morning Papers Will Be Issued.
Hv AssocIated Preaa.

Chicago, May 2.-Owing to differ
ences between Chicago Newspaper
Web Pressmens Union No. z and the
Chicago local American Newspaper
Publishers Association, the afternoon
papers were unable today to get out
editions until late in the day. The
members of the union are not on duty
in the morning newspaper offices to-
night, but il is said the regular edi-
ticns will be published. Extra police
men are held in readiness for trouble.
The difference arose upon the ex-
piration of the pressmen's contract
With Hearst's Chicago American and
Chicago Examiner, and the failure to
agree upon terms Of renewal. Walking
out of the pressmen in these two Of
fees was made the basis by the pub
fishers organization of the termination
or the contract with the pressmen's
union, on the ground that the union
had violated its terms. Meetings of
the executive committee Of the press
mems union and the publishers asso-
els ton were held throughout the
morning and hope was expressed that
the differences would be adjusted in
time for the later editions Of the af-
ternoon papers.

From the series of twenty-six Ques-

THIRTEEN PARISHES IN
LOUISIANA UNDER WATER

New Orleans, May 2.-The flood wa
ters of the Mississippi made still fur
ther increases over the previous re-
corded stages from Natchez south dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending at Z
a. m. today. The crevasse of last even
ing at Torras may slightly relieve the
situation south of the Red river, but
already the Mississippi from there to a
point thirty miles below New Orleans
has within its banks more water than
food history ever before recorded and
there 10 increased anxiety for the
safety Of remaining levees in this dis
trict.
Already there are parts Of thirteen
Lot1fstana parishes 81 DER vases rang
ing from shallow po0Is TO depth or
% feet, and sections OF eight other
parishes are likely to be inundated by
the waters from the Torras crevasse.
The federal government is supply
ing rations to approximately 10000
homeless Louisiana people and If pre-
dictions as to the effects of the TorraS
crevasse are realized, this number will
be almost doubled within the next
three weeks.
Only three lives have been sacrificed
to the food waters in this state, so
thoroughly prepared were the people
| to hustle out Of the 1owlands on re-
ceipt of news of a levee break, and two
| Of these deaths, negro children, were
| due to carelessness.
At Baton Rouge today the Missis-
sippi river gauge registered 42.3 feet,
almost two feet higher than ever be-
| fore recorded. At Donaldsonville the
stage was 33.5 feet and at New Or
| leans 20.7 feet. This latter reading
| shows a fall Of two-tenths since
| o'clock last night, but one-tenth rise
| since yesterday morning. Low levees
here have been topped with sandbags
and there is practically no danger of a
break in the city, according to the en-
