She should be protected from cold drafts and in cold weather her water should be warmed for two or three days or at least she should not be compelled to drink very cold water. For the flrst few days the ration should be light in character and not A bran mash made very abundant. by moistening bran with warm water Is well adapted for the grain portion with which may be fed such hay as the cow will consume. If the udder Is swollen and hard, the grain ration should be increased very slowly, possibly using two weeks before attempting to get the cow on full feed. With heavy milkers It may be well to postpone this even longer. No alarm need he felt If the udder remains Inflamed and hard for a number of days, providing milk can be drawn freely from each quarter. It Is recommended that If the cow Is a good milker she should be milked at least three times daily or oftener until the Inflammation leaves the udder. It Is preferable to allow the calf to suck for at least the first twenty-fou- r hours and some allow them to suck for even a longer period than this. With high producing cows liable to have milk fever, It Is quite a common practice to milk out a little milk several times a day until danger from this trouble Is past This may be continued for two or three days or until such time as may seem necessary with the Individual cow. It Is believed advantageous to leave enough milk in the udder to cause considerable pressure during the dangerous period and for this reason only sufficient milk Is drawn to relieve the extreme pressure. After the flrst two or three days the frequency of milking will depend very largely upon the ability of the cow to produce milk.
