DO COWS LOSE THEIR CUBS?
W. A. F., Monticello, ia, writes: Is
there such thing as COW losing her
cudf I have a COW that calyed a Few
days ago and now she will not eat.
peighbor told me she had lost her cud. and
gave her a dish rag which she cheWed anu
swallowed, and after that she began 10 eat
pretty we'll. but does not seem 10 have
much appetite for her bran and bulls. Please
tell me what is the trouble with her anu
what to do for her.
Loss of cud is generally due to the
cessation of ruminatiOn. 1t is one OF
the first symptoms of sickness in COW.
Restoration of the cud may be expected
as soon as the animal approaches nor
NAL state of health. We feel quite sure
that your cow is suffering from nervous
shock and that what she needs is plenty
HipaStp6 food.
She should not be forced to eat until
she gets into a normal condition, which
We think will follow in the course of a
few days. unless there is some organic
trouble which is not apparent from the
symptoms described in your letter.
The dish rag had no relation what
ever to the recovery Of your COW. Sick
animals which are in a rundown condl-
ton often show evidence of more or
less depraved appetite. We hardly
think IL necessary to give any special
medicine. Plenty of good food and
water should effect cure. In addition
to the bran and hulls you are now feed
Ding provide some green food. Do not
feed cotton seed meal for few days.

HANDLING MILK IN HOT WEATHER

The trouble with your buttermilk is,
in our judgment. due in large measure
TO the advent OF warm weather. Pre-
sumably your milk is quite thoroughly
ripened before you churn it. Possibly

this season of the year there are likely

desirable medium for their multiplied
ton that they develop in large numbers
I and with astonishing rapidly. 1t is

has found its way into the milk. They
may even multiply with great rapidity
though your milk is kept in the re-
Il frigerator, and be ready to produce the

as the milk is taken out and exposed to

! We suggest that the udder be washed

before the COW is MIXED. The hands OF

cleansed. Milk dry-that is, without
wetting the teat. As soon as the milk
is drawn II should be poured back and
forth from one bucket to another in q
thin stream. The exposure of the all
will help to get the animal heat out OF
Il. Place in the refrigerator imme'
diately after II has been properly
aerated and hold at a temperature moi
above so degrees. Churn at as low q
temperature as possible. In order to dc
this successfully you should certainly
have a thermometer. You will probably
have to churn at a temperature of SS
degrees, since YOU are feeding cottor
seed meal. Do not use hot water ir
the churn. Thoroughly cleanse all YES
sells with sal soda and then expose them
to the sun by placing them in the sur
for several hours a day.
