MAMITIS IN COWS (“Times-Age” Special) At Mr J. McGillicuddy’s farm at Dyerville last week, Mr A. T. P. Hubbard, of the Government Stock Department, Masterton, gave a very interesting demonstration of the detection of mamitis in cows. He showed by milking a very small amount from each quarter of the cow’s udder into a tubular glass vessel and adding two drops of a special acid the germ infected would turn a vivid green, while the milk from the quarters that are not affected remains a bluish white. By this means it would be simple for a farmer to detect cows that were germ carriers before the disease became too advanced. The only known remedy was to cull the affected cows from the herd, and so check the spread of the disease.
