COWS DIE IN HUNDREDS.
OUTBREAK OF SEPSIS. A SERIOUS POSITION. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. A serious epidemic of sepsis in cows, similar to that of five or six years ago, lias broken out in South Auckland. Already the deaths are numbered in hundreds, the affected area being from Te Kuili to Thames and Iluntly. The sickness is first observable seven days after calving, and'is'caused through a germ entering the womb, the brain ultimately becoming affected. According to Mr Samuel Burton, M.R.G.V.S., late Government Veterinarian, the cure is to wash out the womb with a solution of two quarts of water in which half a pink tabloid has been dissolved. This must be done not later than 30 hours after calving.
