    Share Share Post
    Local Cures. A Cow with a Swollen Udder.
    A cow with a swollen udder can be cured in the following way.
    Every morning and evening after the cow has been milked, blow off the froth into a basin or vessel of some description. Then bathe the udder thoroughly with the froth for ten minutes or so.
    Do this regularly twice a day morning and evening. After two or three days the swelling will be reduced or perhaps gone entirely.
