. Biggle cow book; old time and modern cow-lore rectified, concentrated and recorded for the benefit of man. Cows. Chapter XXV. AILMENTS AND REMEDIES. Good care is the farmer'' s best cow doctor.—Dorothy. Let sick or maimed animals lie still. Do not tor- ture them by trying to get them up. Rub their limbs every day and keep a soft bed under them. They will get up when they are able. If a cow look poor and weak, put a blanket on her, keep her in a warm place, and feed her some corn meal and middlings, and some oats. Give her warm drink, and stir a little cheap flour in it. Do not let her run clear down. Look ahead. If cows are accidentally left out in a rain and seem cold, put them in the stable as soon as possible and rub them well. If they shiver, put blankets on them until they are dry. If there is inflammation or hardness in the udder, bathe it thoroughly for at least half an hour, and rub gently until thoroughly dry. If this does not effect a cure put a warm flaxseed , poultice on the udder, which can be held in place by means of an eight- \ tailed bandage. This should be ^changed twice a day until the hard- ness and soreness are gone. Of course, the cow should be milked out two or three times each day. Now I will speak of some vices and their cure. Vicious bulls are generally rendered civil by dehorning. A ring in the nose is sufficient in some animals. To put ring in nose secure the animal by tying securely.
