Moderate feed will be found preventive of trouble after i calving. With high-bred oows there is danger of milk fever or garget. Prevent these by light feeding, for a month pre vious to the bijtJi_of the calf, and by a moderate purgative just after the calf j appears, as mentioned laat q^>nth. ? Garget is now n very prevalent trouble. I It oomes through the higher feeding and 1 greater milk production now so common. It is an inflammation and swollen condi tion of the udder. When it appears, batho the udder frequently with warm ! water, working it well with the hands. M If the milk in clotted, dissolve one ounce of carbonate of soda in a pint of wafer, injeot with a syringe into the teats, and milk it out in a few minutes. Leave the calf with the cow.
