. The American farmer's pictorial cyclopedia of live stock ... Livestock; Veterinary medicine. DISEASES OF THE ORCANS OF IJENEKATION. 753 Prevention.—This is really the important jjoint. Isolate the cow that lias aborted immediatel}', and with the above treatment very likely the bad effects of her example will be arrested. Otherwise, some of her companions will jn'obably abort from two to six weeks later. As general precautions, prevent violent commotions among the cows when out of the stable, and never allow them to be run by boys or dogs, but drive them as quietly as possible. Always shut up a cow when bulling ; her jumping on the others, or, instead, being ridden by them, is apt to injure and her alike. The feeding of hemp seed deserves considerate attention, owing to the experience of recognized authorities on breeding. It is given in pint feeds once a day, with other food, from the time immediately preceding the bulling season through four or live months. As to the general diet, feed well so as to keep cows in good, strong cf)ndition, but avoid obesity. V. Uterine Hemorrhage or Flooding. Bleeding from the womb or \agina sometimes follows protracted labor, from injuries to those parts by carelessness or accident during parturi- tion ; or it nuiy result from unskillful removal of the placenta. The con- tinuance of bleeding is due to the failure of the womb to contract, as it should do, after delivery. It is called flooding on account of its coming away in such lai'ge quantities, the womb-full being evacuated at a time. What to do.—Throw cold water, by the bucketful, over the loins; cool the hand and insert it into the womb, which will sometimes cause the latter to contract upon it. If these means prove uisuificient, in- ject cold water into the womb,-with a suitable syringe. VI. Inversion of the Womb. Followmg immediately upon par- turition, after-pains sometimes come on so violently that the womb is forced right out through the vagina, and is turned in
