THE HAND MILKER.
The exact cause < of hard milking has to be determined by examination that appropriate treatment may be prescribed or applied. If all of the teats are equally affected, the ducts being abnormally small, dilators persistently used may improve the condition. If but one teat is affected, growths or a stricture may be the cause. When just inside the opening growths may be removed by operation, but when located higher in the teat, it is best to let a calf nurse or to dry off the secretion in that quarter. When a stricture does not respond satisfactorily to use of a dilator or teat plug, it may be slit down through in four different directions with a teat bistoury. Instruments used must be carefully sterilised before insertion. In difficult cases it is always best to have a veterinarian decide what treatment is necessary in each particular case.
