More Study Needed on Cause
And Treatment of Milk Fever

MILK FEVER, sometimes called pas
teurient paralysis, is a disease that aft
fects good dairy cows in the prime of
life and generally during the first Sc
hours after caiving
There are many theories as TO the
cause of this non-infectious disease and
much research has been conducted to
find ways and means of preventing it.
Regardless of what the underlying
cause is, it seems that cows of some
breeds are more susceptible to milk
fever than those of other breeds. Thus.
the prevention of the disease may be
partially breeding problem.
Many years ago it was discovered
that by applying pressure to the mann
mary glands, by injecting compressed
air or sterile liquids, high per cent
of the cows affected would recover in
few hours. This led to the practice
of leaving enough milk in the udder to
create some back pressure for the first
three days after calving. This preven-
tive practice has been quite effective
but is not applicable when cows come
down with milk fever before caIving or
in cases where milk production is linn
tied before the attack.
The practice of milking heavy pro-
ducers for week to ten days, prior to
calving, was thought to limit the num-
Der of cases. Experimental data indi-
Gates that this practice is of question
able value in preventing milk fever but
is of value in reducing congestion and
weight of the udder.
Calcium Deficiency
A relatively new development in pre-
venting milk fever is to feed a low
calcium, high-phosphorus ration for sew
eral weeks prior to calving. We have
Known for long time that when cows
1ave milk fever there is a marked de-
crease in the calcium content of the
,lo0d and an increase in the magne-
ium content. The theory is that the
hanged magnesium calcium ratio, due
0 the distinction of the parathyroid
lands, is the cause of paralysis in
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-08-01

milks fever cases. One function of the
parathyroid hormone is to mobilize cal
cium and phosphorus from the bones as
is needed in the blood stream When
cows are fed a calcium-rich ration dur
ing the dry period, the parathyroid
glands become partially inactive and,
as a result, they fail to mobilize the
necessary calcium needed for milk pro-
ductiOn at calving time.
Research workers at the University
of California have shown that cows fed
a ration with a calcium-phOSphOru ra-
ito of to 33 for an average of 38 days
before calving did not develop milk fe-
yer. On the other hand, fairly high
incidence of milk fever cases occurred
in comparable groups of cows fed ra-
tons with calcium phosphorus ratios
of to 1 for similar periods. 1t is pos
sible that the feeding of low-ca1cium,
high-phosphorus ration during the dry
period may Go the trick More infOr-
nation is needed
Vitamin d
announcer nleCnOu OF preventing Illllk
fever has been offered by research
workers at the Ohio Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. Knowing that vita
min D is essential in the metabolism
of calcium, research workers have, in
the past, added vitamin D to the ration
of dry COWS for periods of several
weeks prior TO calving in hopes this
method might prevent milk fever. Re-
suits have not been satisfactory. Ohio
Station Research workers have now hit
upon the idea of feeding massive doses
of vitamin d, 20 to 80 million units per
day, for five TO seven days prior to the
calving date This dosage level APP

Aleutian Supply Vessel Sails After Week-Long Picketing By CIO Union

SEATTLE, R - The embattled mOtorship Expansion sailed out of Seattle on it's Aleutian Island mail and supply run last night, ap- parently ending week-long seige by members of the picketing CIO Marine Engineers Beneficial As sociation.
 At the helm of the 117-foot ship was it's captain, Ed Larsen, one of three licensed deck officers who left the ship Sunday in a short-lived sympathy action of the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots Association.
 The MEBA had been picketing the ship in protest over the sign ing of engine room officers who were members of the rival Bro therhood of Marine Engineers, an AFL union.
 The removal of deck officers Sunday was followed by a threat from Expansions owner, Neils Thomsen, that he would take the ship out myself"
 Thomsen, former Coast Guard captain and one-time mate of the sailing schooner, c. S. Holmes, said the captain and two mates returned to duty Sunday. He said the ship was loaded by it's AFL crew with 75 tons of cargo for remote Aleutian Island ports.
 Thomsen said the ship serves as "a regular grocery store" for residents in the Aleutian chain outposts, carrying everything from meat and vegetables to Kleenex and comic books"

Man Who Can't Swim Escapes River by Walking 25 Feet Under Water

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. R-A 51- year-old laborer who can't swim fell into the Arkansas River and escaped by walking 25 feet under water to the bank Friday.
 Lormie Walker was working on a dredge boat when a loose cable knocked him into the river. He sank 18 feet to the bottom.
 We thought he'd never come up," said Scott Wilson, operator of the boat. Wilson estimated that it took Walker two minutes to walk to the shore.
 Walker was winded, but un- hurt. After resting a few minutes, he returned to work.
