METHYLENE BLUE.
Is Good Remedy for Infectious Abor-
ton.

ton
The matter of abortion in the dairy
herd quite frequently assumes serious
proportions and in most cases the ordi-
nary farmer is at a loss to prevent it.
Especially where the germs of the dis
case have infected the stable and pass
| from COW to COW with unfailing certain
ty. To study the disease one must con-
slider how it starts, by what means its
course may be checked, and what rem
edies can be employed to prevent future
contagion.
As is well known, it may occur from
external injury, the toe of a boot, the
horn of another cow, or the milking
stool in the hands of an ill-tempered
mixer, are equally eflicaeious. The dis
ease once started may spread from germs
thrown off from the affected animal or
be carried through the bull from COW
in one herd to COW on another farm.
The loss in the efficiency of the COW can
not be estimated. Normally the animal
generally RECEIVERS but there is the loss
of the expected calf the shrinkage in
milk and the liability to future trouble
with the disease. 1t is estimated by
the Vermont experiment station that the
loss yearly in this state is not less than
$4,000, and it is equally as serious in
the other and larger dairy states.
The preventive means that may be
used may be considered as mechanical
and medicinal. The first is to use con-
crete floors, to sheath the ceilings and
to clean the barn of all dirt and cobwebs
that may serve to act as lodging places
for the germs of the disease. The aver
age stable in Vermont, If treated with
the most efficacious means for eliminat-
ing disease, and incidentally reducing the
work of caring for the animals by
third of the usual labor, would 90 up

any disease which is spread by germs
through any sort of dust can be checked
to large extent by fresh air and sun
shine, and there are far too many farm
ers who seem to be incapable of TAX

nature! Fresh air and sunshine are abb

At the same time the average farmer
is too apt to permit the animal to re-
main with the others without removing
her to box stall for disinfection and
quarantine It may be urged that it
costs money to provide such quarters,
but the average farm should have tim

of animals or the effect upon the balance

Taking up the medicinal remedies we
may class them as external and internal.
Chief of the external ones are the usuaf
sprays composed of carbolic acid or mer
euric origin which may be applied in
the stable or on the animal; and may

be used upon the bull at serving time.
There are several patent medicines which
are widely advertised, but their effective
ness is largely a matter OF belief In the
advertisement.
The Vermont experiment station has
for several years past been testing out
various chemicals with the view of deter
mining their effectiveness in dealing with
this disease and in recent bulletin they
give their experience with material
called Methylene Blue, which appears to
have, desirable qualities as a means OF
destroying the abortion organism.
Methylene blue is a blue powder OBJ

about $3.50 pound, the medicinal, not
the commercial, grade should be used.

ganisms that are existing in the tissues.
The unabsorbed portion passes off with
the excreta and serves as a disinfectant
in the stable. The absorbed portion is
discharged through the kidneys with
beneficial effect. The medicine colors the
discharges but this is entirely harmless.
1t may be administered either in the
grain or silage but the best way is in
capsule. The animals to be treated are
naturally those which have aborted but
if the complaint is serious the entire
herd will be benefited by it.
The treatment should begin early in
pregnancy and from one-third to one
half an ounce doses twice a day for
week, then skip four weeks, and so on
during CESSATION. The treatment for
week costs about 70 cents a COW. The
bulletin from which these extracts have
been made by Mr.. Demary, the Orange
county agent, may be obtained from the
experiment station at Burlington. Bull
