MILK FEVEE IN DAIRY COWS. Copy of letter from Wangauui Cliron-

may prove useful to other dairy far_ era 1 send you the following:—On the lOtk inst. one of my best cows calved, her third calf. On the morning of tne 13th she gave Hie a three-gallon bucket of milk, and looked tip-top. At 3 o'clock that evening, colming home froui the paddock I noticed ser body tckel up and her hindquarters stiff. I tried to milk her, but the milk was gone. As the above were indications of milk fever, I gave her a dose of Sykes'a Drenoh, and vemcmbering that oxygen pumped into the udder was a remedy, I got a bicycle pump and with the part that fits in the rubber tyre of the bike added, I pumped the four quarters of the udder lull of air. We had to support her in the bail while doing this. When we left her out she staggered a few yards and fell down. About twenty ininuteß afterwards, however, to my surprise she was on her feet again, and much better. By 9 o'clock that night she was resti""

comfortably. Next morning at 4.30 o'dook she waa up and feeding. That [evening I got 15Ibs of milk from her, and she ia now back to her usual flow j~' "-'lk, and as well as she ever was. I have now had eighteen years' dairy farming, and have seen cows die, and cows recover in time, but in this instance the quick recovery was simply marvellouß.—l am, etc., J. W.
