INVERSION OF WOMB occurs after calv- ing, same cause as above and treatment the same; get womb placed well for- ward.
STERILITY in bull is sometimes caused by high feeding and lack of exercise. Give nux vomica one drachm and cap- sicum one-half drachm once daily. In cow may be temporary, following abor- tion; if from other cause, seldom re- cover. Try same remedy as for bull.
ABORTION is a frequent and trouble- some malady, occurring generally at about seventh or eighth month. Cause may be due to injuries or to contagion. Separate at once when suspected; after calf is born syringe the womb with one gallon of warm water containing one ounce creolin. Repeat daily as long as any discharge is seen. Afterbirth should be removed about third day after calv- ing. Disinfect stables thoroughly. Do not let cow take bull for at least two months after aborting.
RETAINED AFTERBIRTH is generally due to premature birth; should be removed on third or fourth day. Blanketing, warm stable, warm drinks may help. If necessary to remove by hand, should only be attempted by qualified person, otherwise it is advisable to allow it to remain.
INFLAMMATION OF THE WOMB is indi- cated by fever, loss of appetite, strain- ing. Caused by injuries in calving or. to attempts at removal of afterbirth, and is generally fatal. Give two drachms salicylate of soda every four hours and syringe womb with warm water and two ounces creolin to the gallon.
MILK FEVER Or PARTURIENT APOPLEXY is usually treated by inflation of the udder with air. Doubtless a regular "milk fever outfit," costing about $3, is best to use, as it precludes the possibility of in- fecting the sensitive interior of the udder. But in emergency, or in case the outfit is not procurable, the udder may be in- flated by using a bicycle or automobile air pump, taking pains to be sure the air used is pure. If in a stable, venti- late it well.
Attach a milking tube to the tubing of the pump, first dipping it in a carbolic solution (carbolic acid three teaspoons, water one pint). Wash each teat care- fully with this antiseptic, before inflat- ing it, so as to prevent infection. In- sert the milking tube carefully. Work slowly.
Of course the udder must not be in- flated unreasonably. After inflation, rc- move the tube and leave the udder full of air for five to eight hours. Then the air may be worked out gently, and, if necessary, the inflation may be re- peated.
Cows so treated usually show marked signs of improvement within two hours.
ACTINOMYCOSIS (LUMP JAW) is a con- tagious discase dne to a germ known as "Ray fungus." There are well-defined swellings about the jaw, head and throat. or inay be on the tongue or in the lungs. These soften and open after a time and discharge matter; appetite good until well advanced. The treatment is, re- move by surgical means; late experi- ments indicate iodide of potash two to three drachms daily to be a cure. Ad- vanced cases should be killed at once. The meat should never be used for food.
MILK SICKNESS (TREMBLES) is a dis- case of cattle communicable to man and other animals by use of meat or milk ; dry cattle most commonly and far more severely affected. Milch cows may trans- mit this disease through the use of their milk and yet show no trace of the dis- ease themselves. The symptoms are trembling upon least exertion as walk- ing, great prostration and delirium. Treatment is only prevention; do not use pastures known to produce this dis- ease; unbroken land of certain districts unsafe.
RHEUMATISM is shown by hot, painful swellings at the joints, generally the hocks, stiffness in walking or may be unable to rise. Bathe joints with cam- phor and alcohol and give internally two drachms salicylate of soda every three hours until four ounces have been given ; keep warm and dry and give laxative food.
TEXAS FEVER, a discase of Southern cattle which, when transmitted to North- ern cattle, is generally fatal in a few days. The spread of the disease is gen- crally due to ticks; those from dis- cased animals contain the germs of the disease and by their bites transmit it. The indications are a high fever, stag- gering gait, urine of reddish brown to black, great prostration, unconsciousness. dcatlı. Most common in summer months; unknown in the north after heavy frost. Prevention, avoidance of cattle from Southern fever districts ; dipping of Southern cattle to destroy the ticks.

Peter is no joke
Many a prosperous farmer has laughed at Peter Tumbledown, when it was really Peter that had made him prosperous.
"You give me some pretty hard whacks over Peter's shoulders," writes a Western subscriber to the FARM JOURNAL, "but my wife says that we never would have had the fine farm and home and the bank account that we have today, if it had not been for Peter Tumbledown."
It seems as if Peter himself could never be reformed, but he has reformed lots of other farmers, and made them successful and prosperous.
Get the FARM JOURNAL habit, and you will soon drop the Tumbledown habit. You can't stick to both.
· FARM JOURNAL ("cream, not skim-milk") is 36 years old, and has over 750,000 paid subscribers, more than any other farm paper. Its four million readers (known as "Our Folks") are the most intelligent and prosperous country people in the world, and are always saying that FARM JOURNAL helped to make them so. It is clean, practical, brief, "boiled down," full of gumption, fun and sunshine. It preaches kindness, order, thrift, com- fort and happiness. "Our Folks" have tight roofs and fences, gates that swing free, sound horses, big apples, well-dressed wives and children, and money in bank. Their potatoes are the largest, their milk tests the high- est, their hogs weigh the most, their fruit brings the best prices. Farmers everywhere are finding this out, and naturally want the FARM JOURNAL.
Send a dollar to-day, and you get this great little paper for FIVE YEARS
