VIII appreciate your ADVICE In
this matter.
Milk is, of course, likely to sour
very quickly with weather conditions
such as exist at the present time. The
only way to obviate this tendency is
to thoroughly scald and boil all milk
vessels and containers. Wipe off the
udder of the cow very thoroughly
with a clean towel rinsed out of warm
water, and wash the hands carefuify
before milking is begun. AS soon as
the milk is drawn, cool 1t by pouring
1t in thin, stream from one bucket
to another in a place where the air
Is pure. Then if you have a spring
in which to set the milk or can use
some ice to cool it further, 1t Will pc
an advantage. The aeration is to
get the animal odor and heat out OF
the milk as soon as possible.
The feeding of cotton seed meal
and hulls would not tend to make the
milk sour, nor would 1t cause 1T TO
be bitter. That difficulty arises from
the fact that there is bitter weed
in your pasture, and your COW will
not discriminate against it, therefore,
when she eats it the milk has bit
ter taste. There is only one way
Of obviating this difficulty in so far
as know, namely, to keep the COW
off Of the pasture or get the bitter
weed out of it. One way to accom-
plish this is to let the bitter weed
grow up as quickly as it will and
then NOW it off. If you have a
small pasture and there is not much
bitter weed in evidence you can have
It dug or pulled out. 1t SHOULD be
burned. It is nuisance in all Geor-
gia pastures, and one of the most
difficult things with which we have
to contend. At this season Of the
year we generally keep our COWS up
and feed them on silage or al1alIa

An Evident Case of Lung Worms
w. T. F., Glencoe, Ala, writes:
have hog that seems ms TO ne
runs out of his mouth. Please
tell me what to do for hogs with
this trouble.
If one may judge correctly by the
symptoms described in your letter,
your hog is suffering from an attack
of lung worms. This trouble arises
from an infestation by an animal
parasite. AS a rule, animals attack
ed fall away in flesh and present an
iect to violent fits Of coughing and
strangling. A frothy mucus is often
raised. Upon examination small,
thread-like worms will be found IN
this mucuS, varying from one-haII 10
one inch in length. Debility in
creases with a persistence Of the
cough and is often accompanied by |
difficult breathing. When animals are |
in a fat and thrifty condition it is |
generally best to slaughter them i'm
mediately. Sick animals should be
Immediately separated from we'll ami
mails.
There is no very satisfactory treat
ment for this trouble. The best
thing you can do is to place the |
animal in a tent and fumigate with |
sulphur by sprinkling it on live Goals.
This treatment must be repeated once
daily for three or four days. The |
attendant should keep his head ON
level with that of the animal and ;
when he can no longer breathe salts |
factorily admit fresh air. Repeat |
this process several times at each |
treatment.
A more satisfactory treatment is
to inject medicine into the windpipe |
by means Of hypodermic, syringe. !
A solution may be made of ounces
olive oil, ounces turpentine and
one-half caPbolic acid. This is not
