Cause and Effect Of Poor MILK.

Cause and Effect Of Poor Milk.
The milk OF cows kept stabbed, or where the
phosphate of lime is exaustsd, becomes putrid,
and when examined through microscope,
contains globules of currupted matter, which
is only eaten. because generally unknown to
exist The effect Of it on infants and children
who use it daily for food is, weakness, sick.
ness. and premature death. A child might -
well be put to nurse in the last stages Of
consumption, as to be fed on such milk.
So great has this evil become, that in some
cities, where cows are kept for life on slop,
without access to the ground, the sale Of their
milk has been prohibited BY Law. But how
great must have been the evil, how many
thousands Of helpless infants must have been
sent to untimely graves, before the attention OF
legislators was called to the subject!-and the
worst of all is, that it is the helpless infant,
who has neither knowledge nor power to
choose, that ID the sufferer. A handfdlll Of
bons meal, put into the food Of each cow, two
or three times . week, would partially remedy
the evil Western Adriculurist, Nor. 4. \

very dignifed and truthful answer to the as.

columns of that journal. In regard to the ru-

tempted from our shores was an invasion in

A Home.

II we were to tell number Of our friends
that they don't know what home is, they would
grow somewhat indignant-perhaps, use hard
words. And yet it may be remarked that the
number OF persons who know what genuine
home is. BY experience, is surprisingly few
One man in geod circumstances will tell us
that he has fine house Of his own, in which
every comfort and convenience is provided. He
has wife and children there, also, and they
give life to the place. Very true. But does
he prefer that home, thus furnished and thus
enlivened, 10 every other place in the world,
Does he sigh when the hour for leaving comes;
and smile when he is permitted to return!
Does he love to sit by the cheerful fire and
fondIe the children, entering into all their lit
tie disputes with curious interest! Does he
take particular note of the bird 10 the cage, and
the cat near the fire! If not, he has no home.
in that dearest sense of that dearest of words.
If his mind is altogether absorbed in the dusty
ways of business-if he hurries from the house
in the morning, and is 10th to return at night
if, while he is at home, he continues to think
of the journal and ledger, and repuIse the ad-
vances of the prattlng children, he has no
home; he only has place where he lodges and
takes his meals.
All! happy is he who knows and appreciates
the full bliss of home; whose heart is warmed
and humanized by its cheerful in 1uences, and
who feels how superior in purity of pleasure
are all its enjoyments to the turmoil delights
of out door life. Thrice happy is such man.
He has discovered the only Paradise this world
can now afford. 1t is only such man who
can have deep and sincere pity for the un-
fortunate cratures who are homeless. He re-
CARDS them as being cut off from the best in
fluences of the earth, and exposed to the action
of all the darker waves Of life. He feels
keeny for him who has no fire side-no dear
ones to welcome him with smiles, and prattle
over the history of the day; no tongue to
soothe when heavy cares have troubled the
mind and rendered the heart sore; and the
sympathy of such man is not slow to overflow
in acts Of benevolence. A good home is the
source of the fountain of charity in the heart.
Onr advice to those who have no homes, such
as we have described above, is, to get them as
soon as possible. They can nevet be contents
ed and substantial citizens, nor thoroughly
happy men, until they follow this counsel. Get
homes. Fill them with the objects of love and
endearment! and seek there for the pure
delights which the world beside cannot afford.
