Bs Milk Fever. 4 How to Treat the Udder. and (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) ARTURIENT PARESIS, . com- monly, but improperly, called “milk fever” is a disease peculiar to breeding cows, and, af the name implies, appears at_or near the time of- parturition. gm rare cases the symptoms have been noticed shortly before the appearances of labor pains, in some cases during the act of parturition, but in most cases not for a few hours or days after the young has been born. The exact cause and na- ture of the trouble, and the manner in which treatment acts, are still in comparative obscurity. We know that it appears only in milch cows, and at.or about the per- jod of parturition, that it has never been noticed at or following the birth of the first calf, and very rare- ly the second; that cows that are heavy milkers or in gross condition, or both, are particularly susceptible, but it Is occasionally met with in a poor milker or an animal in low condtion. é Symptoms.—Shortly before, at, or inga variable time (say a few hours to three days) after parturition, the cows becomes uneasy, neglects her calf, stamps her feet, whisks her tail, and the eyes have a glassy appear- ance. She sways, has not préper con- trol gf her limbs, lies or falls down, may Or may not be able to rise, goes down again. This may occur a few times, until she becomes unable’ to rise. She usually assumes one of two positions: lies either on her side with limbs and head outstretched, or on her sternum, with the head thrown backwards and the muzzle resting on the flank. There are few cases in which either one or the other of these positions are not observed. The temperature is subnormal in all un- complicated cases, hence the term “milk fever’’ is not correct. More or less well marked coma !s foted. In many cases she is apparentl* dead, except that breathing can be noticed, in many cases a sonorous breathing. She is insensible to curroundings and insensitive to pain. In some cases the development of the symp- toms is very quick; while in others slow, and in some cases the extreme symptoms are not noticed. She may retain a degree of power of action and sensation. “Ts Tredtment.—It has been demon- strated that a full udder tends to pre vent the disease. Hence it is good Practice to allow the calf to remain with the dam for at least three days, as it will nurse frequently and a lit- tle at a time, never leaving the udder without considerable milk. When, for any reason this cannot be done, the milker should simulate nature as near as possible, by milking frequent- ly, but very little at a time for three days. It Is also good practice to re duce the animal's milk producing food for a few days before parturi- tion is expected. Curative Treatment.—We wish to Particularly emphasize the fact that on no account, and under no circum- stances, should any attempt be made to administer anything whatever by the mouth. Even in the yery early stages of the disease, the patient loses the power to swallow; hence, if fluids be introduced into the mouth some of it will almost surely pass down the windpipe and caveat death by suffocation in a few min- utes, or set up mechanical bronchitis, which will probably cause death in a few days. We have stated that ‘‘a full udder tends to prevent,’ now we say that “a distended udder tends.to cure.” Inflation with oxygen or sterilized air is easier and less liable to cause complications than disten- sion with fluids. The use of gas de- mands the possession of a tank of and special apparatus. Outfits for inflat- ing with sterilized air can be pur- chased from dealers in veterinary in- struments for from $2 to $3, and of it. from one half. to two hours. tapes should be removed in at most at most six hours the udder should some easily digested food, or a rea- sonable amount of her usual food, and all the water she will take. weather be cold, the chill should removed from the cow kept as comfortable as possible. She should not be milked at all for 24 hours after inflation, and for the second twenty-four hoirs she should be milked frequently, but very little drawn at a time, after i ner.— Dr. lege, Guelph. where neither can be obtained an ordinary bicycle pump with a teat syphon attached may be used, but complications from the introduction of septic material are more liable than when gas or sterilized air is used.

A team of horses ¢annot plow more than two acres At 8.7 cenfs per hour or 17.4 cents per hour for a’team, the cost would be $1.74, or 87 cents anacre. A-Fordson Tractor plows on an average of seven acres a day. The cost per acre in a ten-hour day. averages not more than 75 cents pér acre for oil. The Fordson does three and a half times as much plowing in a day at a smaller cost per acre. Suppose you are hauling produce to market or bring- Ing out supplies. If the town is twenty miles away it will take you a whole day to make the return trip Every way you look at it the motor has the advantage over the horse. It means shorter hours on the farm, more work done in less time and at less cost. i . ) H.

The average cost of run- ning a Ford Truck, for gas and oil, is 444 cents a mile | or $1.80 for the forty miles. But with the Ford ck you can make the return trip in foyr hours. The truck enables you to make three times as many trips and at a lower cost per trip. But this is not all. If you motorize your farm you can get up an hour later in the morning. You have no horses to feed, groom or harness. You start work after breakfast. When dinner is ready you stop at the end of the field, drive your tractor direct to the house, eat your dinner, and rest till it is time to go to work again. In the afternoon your motor works just ks well though the sun is hot and the flies are bad. And at night when work is over you are through for the day,—no horses to rub down, feed or water. You are always free to leave your farm for picnic or vacation—no worry about horses left behind to eared for. s and a Listowel aa ae FOR Western University -~London, Ontario cArts and Sciences Summer School July Sth to August 13th INFORMATION AND CALENDAR WRITE K.
