Bad Case of Congested Udder
F. J. L., of Abbeville, Ca, writes:
have a COW with calf nearly one year old
At times a quarter OF her udder will get
hard and feverish and sore. BY the next
day Jumps OF clabber can be MIXED out
In forty-eight hours it is apparently all
right and remains so for 80 40 days.
She il MIXED twice day. Please tell me
what the trouble is and advise me OF
remedy.
1t is not uncommon for the udder OF
a COW to become congested IN one or
more Of the quarters. This trouble may
arise from Inflammation which sets In
prior to or shortly after calving and is
not successfully reduced by promp'
treatment. 1t may also arise from a
bruise or injury to the udder. one COW
may sometimes step on the udder OF
another. Occasionally cows are not
MIXED regularly or thoroughly whlch
causes congestion of the gland 10 Sc.
up. Naturally it spreads rapidly until
the whole quarter is affected.
In treating a case of this kind pro-
coed as follows: First foment the I'd
der with hot water just as warm as the
hands can stand for a period OF not
less than twenty minutes three times
daily. 1t should then be massaged ana
rubbed very gently, thoroughly ana per
sistently. Rough treatment is to De
avoided at any cost. Next rub the ud'
der thoroughly with vaseline or vasellne
to which camphor has been added. rms
will help to keep it soft, to reduce the
Inflammation and to prevent lts chahHS
from the treatment with the hot water
Remember that the COW should De
MIXED regularly and at approximately
the same hour night and morning. IL
NAV even be advisable to milk three
times daily until the Inflammation is
thorou9hly eliminated. Remember that
the extraction of all milk is a matter
of great Importance. See that the DIE
tarv of the COW is varied and is OF
laxative nature. The careful following
ont of these instructions should erect
the cure.
Cultivating Peanuts and Tobacco
G. E. k, of Lyons, Ca, writes; Please
inform me relative to cultlVatlng peanuts
and tobacco in the place of cotton. what
is the best variety of peanuts to plantF
MANY farmers who formerly culti-
waited cotton are replacing 1t with pea
nuts or tobacco. This is particularly
true in those sections of the state badly
infested by the boil weeVll. Elther OIL
these crops can be cultivated with a
measurable degree of success in your
section of Georgia.
Peanuts should be planted relatively
early in the spring and on land which
is prepared much as for cotton. me
width of the rows for this crop need
seldom exceed three feet. Peanuts may
be planted on the level or on low ridges
Machinery is available for planting them
in the hull. For grazing down by hogs
the Spanish peanut is probably the most
desirable. When cultivated for edlple
purposes the larger seeded sorts should
be grown. Peanuts are valuable for the
production of oil and the oil mills can
crush them with comparatively little
change in their machinery, hence they
are in good demand at this time at
profitable prices The average yield per
acre is something like thirty-fve or
forty bushels. Many farmers claim
WELD of fifty to sixty bushels. The pea
nut is not difficult to harvest or handle
on a commercial scale, and, of course,
hogs are very fond of the nuts and
thrive on them to an amazing Vegree.
In order to produce the best quality OF
pork. corn should be fed to hogs while
they are grazing on the nuts. If desir-
able, of course, the corn may be reserved
and fed to the hogs while they are
penned and after they have been taken
off the peanuts. Pen feeding from two
satisfactorily. The area in peanuts In
Georgia has greatly increased. Farm
ers who are cultivating the crop are en-
thusiastic about it and find it profitable
and desirable.
Tobacco, as you doubtless know, is
sensitive as to the type of soil on which
ii is planted and the method of fertili-
zation followed. Where you wish to
grow Burley tobacco, all that you need
is a soil rich in humus and abundantly
supplied with the essential elements OF
plant food. Where you wish to grow
wrapper or light types of tobacco, the
soil must be fortified chiefly with COM
mercial plant foods. Liberal fertiliza-
ton is necessary under such circum-
stances. Tobacco is an exhaustive crop
Of the soil. 1t is rather tedious and
difficult to produce and is easily injured
at times by adverse weather conditions
or insect pests. We would prefer, sit
uated as you are. to focus our attention
and effort on the production of peanuts
as a substitute crop for cotton.
