ADVICE TO DAIRY FARMERS
Tho veterinary contributor to the "Farmers' Union Advocate" gives the following advice to dairy-farmers:— If cows are slow in parting with the cleansing, three-quarters of a pound of epsom salts, with a little ginger added, given in a drench, will often help matters. Do not put your calves in a calfpaddock which has been used for this purpose for two or three years previously. Give them a clean and fresh one, as' woll drained and dry as possible. Foul calf-paddocks are responsible for a great deal of trouble among calves. In cases where the separated milk or wlioy from a factory is pasteurised, suppliers should breed their own pigs and not buy stores. -The stores may bo infected with tuberculosis when purchased, and tho pasteurised food will not cure them. But weaners from a sow which is free' from the disease will keep clear of it if they get the pasteurised material right from the time of weaning.
