GREASE CURES TEAT WARTS.
Grease is the most successful remedy I know lor the long' hard warts that form on the teats of milch cows (writes a contributor to one of our American contemporaries.) I have used carbolated vasetn 1 , fried meat drippings and common machine oil with satisfactory results. Castor oil did not give good results. This treatment requires persistence. Failure usually is due to imperfect treatment.
Common machine oil is the best grease to* use, and if applied regularly twice a day and thoroughly rubbed in gpod effects will lie noticed within two weeks or so. With meat drippings it will be about a month before improvement is noticeable.
Two teats on one of our cows were simply covered with great bunches of warts when she first freshened. I could have clipped these warts off and applied lunar caustic, but I began treating them with grease, thickly smearing it on each time I milked, and working it well into the warts. In about five mouths the warts had disappeared.
