On My Farm
Day-to-Day Operations
Of a Dairynam-Feeder
BY ALBERT KING

LOSING VALUABLE cattle from So
called hardware disease is downright
discouraging and very costly. I don't
suppose there are any statistics avail
able which would list the numbers and
value of cattle which have actually
died from the effects of punctured
lung, a bad heart or infection from
wire just working its way through the
living flesh of a mans favorite cow.
But I'll wager the score is pretty high.
The problem came home to me last
week when one of my top producing
Holstein cows suddenly stopped eating,
gave no milk and in general was just
plain sick I can handle most ordinary
cases of cattle sickness. But when I
get no response from the tried and
true home remedies intended to clean
out the digestive tract and when sick
COW does not run temperature or
show other plain symptoms so simple
that even I can understand them, then
it's time to call in the services of
good vet.
We are very lucky to have a good
COW doctor in our town, one who tries
hard to help each stockman as his own
Individual problems arise and who is
sincerely interested in the health and
well-being of all the livestock in this
country. A good veterinarian must,
think, still operate much like the old
fashioned country doctor.
Oh, of course, he will make full use
of all the known facts in modern medi-
cine intended to prevent, control and
cure diseases but must still make those
country calls at any time of day and
night over all kinds of roads and in all

children and just leave them in the
doctors care.
So, old Bessie has a ache in her
tummy which fails to respond to one
gallon of milk of magnesia, one gallon
of mineral oil, two pounds of EPSON
salts in five gallons of water, plus
numerous doses of rumen pills which
are supposed to start the stomach
working. OF course, all of these laxa-
tives were not given at one time but
over a period of four or five days.
Finally the vet arrives all dressed up
in his Sunday togs. In fact, it was Sum
day afternoon and he was taking his
wife for a ride while making few
business calls. With his stethOscope he
listens to the heart beat ''62 beats
per minute" -normal. With his Their
mometer he takes ''4-minute" tenn
perature-101. 6-also normal.
While the thermometer is warming
up the doc keeps fist in the hollow
part of the cows left side and exerts
about a 1O-pound push. This is to test
the action of the rumen-there wasn't
any. Another series of tests of the
heart indicated a slight irregularity 1t
would seem to stop or skip beat and
then increase in tempo. This action,
according to the doctor, is an almost
sure sign of hardware" and an OPP
GRAFTON is recommended to remove
the metal, save the cows life and get
her back into production.
Next morning at 9 o'clock, the pa
tient having been prepared for sur
gerry, the skilled veterinarian goes to
work. One hour and 40 stitches later
the operation is finished. Result? Amaz-
ing! From that cows second stomach
the doctor removed two small wire
fencing staples, one sharp barb from
wire fence, seven small pieces of baling
wire from one-half to two inches long
plus handful of small pebbles.
Now where in the world could one
cow pick up all of this metal? Well,
there is wire tie hay baler which
may leave small pieces of wire in the
hay. There is a hammermill used to
grind grain before it is mixed for feed
ing. There is a forage harvester which,
if it picked up piece of wire in the
field, will chop it to bits and deliver
them into the silage where they are
almost sure to be eaten by hungry
cows.
The staples I cannot account for but
a COW can lick up rocks most any,
where. Since all these particles cam
not be digested, they seem to hang up
in the folds of that second stomach
and when they penetrate the flesh and
start hurting, Mother Nature just stops
the process of enumeration until the
irritation has been removed.
Hardware disease is expensive. In
the first place this cow was produc-
ing so pounds of milk per day. She
tests 8 per cent which means IL pounds
of butterfat per day and at the going
price of $1.4O pound that amounts to
$2.1O per day. Medicine and doctors
services come high, so, all in all, it's
a loss and an expense which we can
not afford.
Then too, there is always the ques-
ton of whether or not the cow can
be brought back into production What's
the answer? More strict vigilance in
putting every piece of wire, every nail
and every staple in a place where there
