Injuries and distractions In the Teats.

Injuries and Distractions In the Teats.
The teats of the cow are liable to various
affections, which more or less impede the
flow of milk, or stop it altogether, and Of
ten from the basis of an inhamed state OF
the udder. One Of the chief causes OF
these distractions are small tumors about
the size OF a pea, which may be felt on
COMPRISING the teat between the finger
and thumb, and can be often moved up
and down the teat. Sometimes these en-
tirely stop the flow of milk, and
at others q small stream can be got by
much pressure. These small sub
stances are either what are called tactical
calcui milk st0HeS), or tumors attached
to the lining OF the teat In these cases, q
silver probe, or knitting needle, must be
passed up the teat, and the obstruction
either broken down, or passed into the I'D
der, where they often remain without in
convenience. It is not often possible to eX-
tract them from the end of the teat, nor
should this be tried, as from the irritation
caused, inflammation is frequently set
up and the quarter is lost.
! Structures often exist IL the passage OF
the teat, diminishing the flow Of milk. In
| these cases probe, or knitting needle as
large as the structure will bear, and gradu-
| ally increasing the size, should De Ire
quently passed, SO as to distend and keep
the passage open.
Warts at the emo of the teats are &C.
casionally found, and are great annoyance,
not only obstructing the milk, but from
their soreness, causing the COW TO become
fidgety and uneasy while MIXED. In these
cases the wart must be removed. either by
the knife or by ligeture of fine silk tied

as warts when sIougbed of, are not so liable
to return as when excised with the kife.
Sore and chapped teatsare best treated
by the application Of ointment of turpen-
| tine. Venice turpsntine, two ounces; hogs
lard, four ounces; dissolved with gentle
heat and mixed, or an ointment Of Verdi
girls, (Virdigris, IN fine powder one part
common turpentine, one part; hogs lard
twelve parts. Melt the two latter ingrs.
dents first, and then add the verdigris

PHANTOM DAYS.
CARL SPENCER.

Sweetheart, when the year turns hacz,
and over her summer track
Goes trailing in ROBES of mis-,
and holding her poor pale lips,
chill with their half eclipse,
Up 70 the sun TO be kissed
Then over the parting line
The dead days glimmerlEg shine,
With pitiful faces fair.
They are perfect, all but breath,
S nd : -.Iind me of their death
By the chill that is IN the air.
ct at the sight yearn;
Ard y, that they would return
With the love that foregoI
And l murmur, all how long?
and sorrow takes up her song
It'll the rose blooms IL the snow.
So all the tory is told,
Cease, or the hearts cold,
And the winter claims its own.
IA the hcst night O. the frost
Beauty and bloom we're lost.
Ard what is the stalk alone
@, when VIII he rough winds blow,
And when will the blank white snow
Cover the dead from sight2
For, like the haze On the Hill,
Lieth on thought and will
The spen Of z past delight.
So, over the yellow leaves.
and tue empts place Of she2yes,
follow nay sImless feet.
Oh love that Is lost to me,
Are there ghosts that walked With thee
IN this time o. the bltter-sFeet?
oh shat but the hearts desire
Can you have seen the fire
OF the autumn woods ablaEe
And what but an ended tale

Amid the great excitement Of an activa
war between two OF the greatest OF Euro
pean powers, the selection BIZ the Span-
iards of king attracts comparatively lit
tie attention The young man who is to
be a candidate for the perilous euiuence
of the Spanish throne, and vino has &C
cepted the honor, is Prince Amadeus Fer
dina rd-GIaria. the second son and third
child of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy
and tie Queen Maria-Adeiaide, who was
an Austrian princess, and died IN 1856.
Prince Amadeus was borne in Turin on
the 30th of May, 1916, and in 1867 mar
ried q young lady two years younger than
himself, who reioices IN the elaborate name
OF Victoria-C ta-Henrietta-Gianna dial
Pozzo della Cistema. She is the daughter
of Prince Charles 1tcetera Cistema and OF
Countess of Mercde. Both of her parents
have died during the last few years; and
during their lives never could have dream
ed that their daughter would sit On the
throne OF the Isabellas.
Prince Amadeus takes his title OF Dake
of Aosta from a shabby little town which
lies ii the north Of Piedmont, under the
shadow of the Alps, and ut the foot OF the
well-known pass of st. Bernard He is
a lieutenant general in the Italian army,
and commands brigade of cavalry BY
his elevation to the throne of Spain the
governlnG -oase= Of Italy and the IberIan
Peninsula will hold unusually close rela-
tiols, FIR the Princess Maria PA,
younger dsugn of Victor Emmanuel, is
Queen of Portugal, having in 1862 mar
ried King Louis. The eldest child of the
Italian King. it will De remembered, is the
Princess Clotilde, vi of Prince Napoleon
Her career seems 70 nc much less exalted

family.
The new King Of Spain IS Young man,
a little ever twenty-five years Of age, and
so far has seem but little Of public life.
In Italy he is very well liked. He has been
brought up in the school of constitutional
monarchy, and ought to make an honest
and liberal ruler.

The dome Of the capitol at Washington
is one Of the largest in the world, being
one hundred and seventy feet in diameter
at its base, and two hundred feet high.
The architect naturally thought so large a
mass would be affected By the suns rays,
so that the expansion would be unequal,
according as the sun shone on one or the
other side. To ascertain the extent of the
expansion he extended wire within the
dome from the top to the bottom, and con-
nected with it, by delicate mechanism, a
pencil which drew on paper the line of
movement. He expected quite regular
curve, as the opposite sides of tho dome
were affected by the daily passages of the
sun. But he found that it was not the sun,
but the wind, that had the most effect.
