HINTS TO DAIRYMEN. RETAINED AFTERBIRTH. The afterbirth should be shed normally within twenty-four hours after calving. Nevertheless in numerous cows it is either partly or entirely retained for several days, or even weeks. This is a highly dangerous condition to have in a dairy. The membranes, on exposure to the air, soon decompose and putrefy. Not only is the risk of contamination of the milk very great here, but the cow, unable to get rid of the membranes, absorbs large quantities of the poisonous material into her blood, causing the animal to lose condition, and reducing her flow of milk. If an Abortoid has been ■placed in the womb, within twenty-four ■hours after calving, it not only softens and renders the afterbirth more easy to come away, but by its antiseptic properties keep down the putrefaction of the afterbirth. “Prevention is better than cure,” therefore keep your herd clean by using Dr. Ring’s A'bortoids; they contain an antiseptic neither “poisonous” nor “irritating,” and are absolutely safe in the bands of the most inexperienced; their efficiency is undoubted, their cost low enough to be within the reach of all. Excepting in very bad cases one Abortoid is sufficient. They are sold in boxes of one dozen at ss. Every farmer should have these on hand. Send postal note for 5s to A. L. Hunter, P.O. Box 231, New’ Plymouth, sole distributing agent for Taranaki for all Dr. Ring’s Blue Cross stock remedies.—Advt.
