in dispatch that the Russian Mos

statements from informed quar-

Russian front continued extremely

Mastitis. Treatment
Still Being Tested
CONTINUED from First Page,

Even if final results show the
effectiveness of these chemical
treatments, Delaware farmers
should not use them without the
supervision of a qualified veteri-
marian. A person not trained in
veterinary science is likely to in
jure the udder perhaps permanent
ly. Then too, accurate laboratory
examination of milk samples is
necessary to know when all the
germs that cause mastitis have
been killed and when treatment
can be discontinued.
While scientists are continuing
their research, dairymen may fol-
low a wise management and sani-
tation program to keep mastitis
under control. First determine
which cows in the herd are in
fected by the strip-cup test. After
the healthy cows are found, milk
them first. Then milk the cows
suspected of mastitis second, and
those definitely infected last. Use
a germ killing chlorine solution to
wash the udder, the hands of the
mixer and the milking machine.
If cows udder should become in
famed, use hot packs, massage the
udder and milk frequently.
