White Scours
Question: l have been trying to
raise calves I bought when five days
old, but have been losing so many
with bloody fiux and dysentery.
What can | do for them? One
rancher said | could use fannie acid
and water. Edwin L. D., Burke,
Wash.
Answer: The disease which you
have mentioned seems to be the infec
tious or white scours, and nearly al
ways proves fatal. The calf is usually
sick from the beginning. The disease
germ gains access to the calf'S body
through the navel. The fact that
several cases occur in succession
would indicate that it is infectious.
The trouble may be avoided by
making sure that the calf is dropped
in clean stall; and that it is not al
lowed to come in contact with dirt or
manure until the cord is dry. AS a
precautionary measure it is we'll to
tie up the cord at birth. and to apply
mild disinfectant such as weak
solution of creolin or zenOleum.
There is nothing that can be done for
the sick animal in the case of white
SCOUTS.
II the scours is caused from in
digestion, it is we'll to add tea
spoonful per pint OF milk of a mix
ture of one-half ounce of fOrmalin to
15L ounces of water, cutting the milk
down to one half the usual amount,
After two or three feeding periods
the milk given may again be increased
to the usual quantity. The formalin
should be given for two or three
days.
Another good remedy is to give a
drench of three ounces of castor oil
in a pint of milk. This may be fol-
lowed by teaspoonful of mixture
of one part salol and two parts sub
nitrate of bismuth, three times daily.
two or three days until the condition
OF the animal improves.
have never heard of fannie acid
being used for this purpose.

to have some of this kind of hay all
the year around. Whether carrots or
beets should be used would depend
upon which one you can get the
cheapest If you are raising them
the one that will give you the highest
yield per acre at the least cost is the
one you should use as they both fill
practically the same place in the ra .
ton, the carrots fitting in a little
better with alfalfa hay than the beets.
A good grain ration to feed in ad-
dition would be equal parts by weight
of bran and ground oats. Feed all the
hay the COW will eat up clean, and
about three pounds of roots daily for
every hundred pounds live weight of
the animal. The grain ration should
be fed in the proportion of one pound
for every three or three and one-half
pounds of milk produced.
In the case grain hays are fed, l
would prefer beets to carrots, and
mix the grain in the proportion of
two parts by weight of bran to one of
rolled oats, feeding in the same pro-
portions as noted above.
Teat Leakage; Flies
Question: Kindly tell me cure
for teat leakage, and also good
spray for COWS. E. F. S., Hoquiam,
Wash.
Answer: There seems to be no
known treatment for teat leakage, but
fairly good results are obtained by
smearing little collodion over the
end of the teat after each milking.
The collodion is easily removed at
milking time.
Presumably you refer to spray to
keep the flies from bothering the COWS
during the late summer. There are
several brands of fly sprays on the
market, most of which are chiefly
composed of some coal tar product
with an addition of fish oil or pine
tar. In experiments that have besn
conducted with many of these sprays
it has been found that while in some
cases they tend to make the cow less
restless, in no case did trey increase
the milk flow. The fact that the
sprays have a disagreeable odor has
tendency to keep flies away, and for
this purpose the sprays can be used
to good advantage in the barn, and
around the yard. Directions for

Proposition Has Aroused

or all municipal improvements, New
York's port development now appears
most imperative. AT this time strong
effort is being made before the federal
authorities at Washington by rival COM
munities TO deprive New York OF the
lighterage service now provided by the
New Jersey railroads.
The proposition TO establish a free port
district ir New York Harbor has. fortu-
nately. aroused the interest OF the owners
Of waterfront properties. railroads and
steamship companies. the bonded ware
house interests, importers and exporters
and manufacturers, whose product Is
shipped for export trade
The term free port" IS often misun-
derstood. The free port district, as pro-
posed for New York. would comprise one
or two hundred acres, or, as some advo-
cate, possibly one or two thousand acres,
with piers and terminal facilities, where
vessels carrying cargoes Of imported
goods would be permitted to discharge
these cargoes without customs inspection
or detention, and without payment OF Gus
toms duties by the merchants. importers
or manufacturers receiving the goods.
Within the area OF the free port dis
trlct the goods would be free from in
spection and free from tariff duty. The
goods could thus be conveniently handled
repacked, assembled. assorted or manu-
featured for transshipment TO South
America or Canada or Australia. or any
other foreign port, without any restric-
ton or delays from the customs authori-
ties. But such goods as were not trans
shipped to foreign ports or to other ports
I'm this country. but entered the United
States beyond the area OF the free port
district. would pay the usual customs
duties.
The four fundamental requirements OF
a free port district at New York should
be:
First-Adequate water depth and ade-
ouate pier and dock facilities and ter
minal equipment.
Socond-Railroad connections. articulat-
ing with the docks and piers.
Th.rd-An adjacent labor market for
the manufacturing industries.
