saying nothing except that it is still
terribly dry in the northern cotton
fields. Last week President Braz de
rected a memorial to the governments
OF all the cotton states Of Brazil,
urging themto raise the export duties
on cotton to prohibitive figure.
This is the extent Of the power over
export duties, which are regulated by
the states individually. Recently a
government measure was introduced
in the federal senate proposing to
delete or at least reduce. the duty on
imported raw cotton. The memorial
TO the states was directed in the
hope OF stopping a possible shortage
in the Brazilian markets. The bill in
the senate has for its purpose the re-
duction in local prices by means OF
outside competition. Nobody can pre-
dict what the cotton states will do
toward prohibiting the expectation
OF cotton, but it is safe to predict
that the import duty will be reduced

as frequently occurs in heavy mixers
and in heifers at first calving. At
fected animals usually make COM
plete recovery if given one and one
half pounds of EPSON salts and their
feed is restricted to that Of succulent
nature.
The cause of infectious garget is a
germ or germs. When many Of them
are present in the udder not only is the
milk changed. as mentioned above, but
the udder itself becomes hot and SEN
sitive to the touch.
The importance of the infectious
form Of garget rests in the fact that
1t Is usually not easily cured and has
q tendency to recur. Furthermore, the
disease Is easily conveyed to healthy
cows through the medium Of the milk
ers hands or contaminated material
OF any kind unless precautions are tax
en- to avoid the transfer Of the germs.
Temporary relief may be given by
bathing the udder in hot water for
One-half hour each morning and even
ing. After thoroughly drying the sur
face Of the udder warm cottonseed oil
should be rubbed in with the palm Of
the hand.
A complete cure is possible in most
cases only by drying the COW off at
once, so that her system may be free
to fight the disease producing germs
that are present in the udder.
