were about l5c TO 25c lower, Cattle

While only fractional price losses
are noted at North Portland for hogs,
the market in reality has an undertone

ported Thursday in the North Portland

Had arrivals been of liberal volume
there is no doubt that lower prices
would be forced all around. AS mat

about 25c below them.

CAUSE OF TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands of Mixer Should Be Kept
Clean and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Closely.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
10 a fertile cause Of teat affections.
The teats and udder should be
clcansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also. should be
kept clean. The finger nails Of the
mixer should be kept clOse-trimmed
and when milking care be taken not to
squeeze the tips Of the teats too hard.
Such bruising Is the cause Of cOndi-
tion which we have termed "cOrns" Of
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or calloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction. Dirty and con-
taminated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade In stagnant water or drag their
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes :;
and a common cause Of sores on the
tip Of the hind teats Is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing q
sill into the stable or by trampling In
narrow stalls.
