At 3 o'clock I that evening, coining home from the 'paddock 1 noticed ler bod; tcEel up ) and her hindquarters stif. I tried tc j milk har, bnt the milk was gone. As tne i above were indications of milk fever, 1 gave her a dose of Sykes's Drench, and j remembering that ox wen pumped into I the adder iai a remedy, I got a bicycle I pump and with the j»rt that fits in the [rubber tyre of the bike added, I pumped the four quarters of the udder lull of air. We bad to support her in the bail while doing this. When we left her out she staggered a few yards and fell down. About twenty minutes atterwards, however, to my surprise she was on her feet again, and much better. By 0 o'clock that night she was resting comfortably. Next morning at 4.30 o'clock she was up and feeding. That evening f got 1511 m of milk from her. and she is now back to her usual flow of milk, nnd as well as she ever was. I have now had eighteen years' dtfry farming, and have seen cows die, and cows reco- t in time, but in this instance th«' quick recovery was simply marvfllouf.—l am, etc., J. W. McLann. i Wavorloy.
