the shock treatment
Barbed wire or smooth wire
can be used in building an elec
tric fence. But Paul Crawford,
agricultural engineer for the Col
lege of Agriculture Extension
Service, says barbed wire is a lit
tle more effective on large ani
mals. “The barbs penetrate the
hair of the animal for a more ef
fective shock,” he explains.

period of 14 or more days with
no more than one-fourth inch of
rain on any day.

Strip Cup Aids
In Prevention
Os Mastitis
A strip cup, properly used, has
always been a good friend to the
farmer in keeping his cows free
of mastitis. Regular use of a strip
warns of the onset of mastitis and
enables the farmer to take pre
cautionary steps to cut the in
fection short.
For many years, strip cups had
a screen set down into the cup.
The difficulty in cleaning the
screen and the time thus lost
often dissuaded farmers from us
ing a cup every day.
Lately, new ideas in cup de
sign have been brought forth.
The most recent is the substitu
tion of a shallow black plate for
the screen, in the cup.
The plate has a hole in one
edge to allow milk to flow down
into the cup. As the milk passes
over the black background, any
abnormal milk lumps, flakes or
strings in the milk, or any blood,
is easily seen against the black
background. The new cup has the
additional advantage of being ex
tremely easy to clean. One dip
in a pail of water and the plate
is clear and ready to be used on
the next animal.
Daily use of the strip cup will
prevent any chance of mastitis
becoming well entrenched in a
herd before being caught. It will
also prove excellent as an aid to
milk let down and will eliminate
low butterfat, high bacteria fore
milk.
