PURE WATER FOR MICH COWS.

| New jersey farmer wrltng over :he sig
nature of"Agricola" says
Although water, added to milk, may be
obnoxious. prOprietors of milcn COWS cannot
expect that the udders will be extended
with the delicious liquid unless the animals
can have access to generous supply of clear
water. During the sultry days of summer
pare water for COWS is as Important as grass.
When COW is thirsty, she must be supplied
with water, or the process of connecting
milk will be more or less arrested. Hence
the quantity of milk Will continue to dimin-
ish. Soon after cow has filled herself with
feed any sort there Will be a demand for
water. But if the animal cannot obtain
a supply, the partially msslicated feed in the
rumen Will soon begin to heat and ferment
causing arrangement of the entire system.
ut Is bad policy to require milch COWS
to drink at ponds of standing water, which is
a prevailing practice in many sections of
country When animals are allowed to
60 into the water, and to stand in it, unless
there is a running stream, the water will
soon be fouled and unfit to drink. In such
instances it will only cost trife to dig a
shallow well. provide large trough, and
draw generous supply every day. either
with cheap pump Or bucket. A pail of
water is as refreshing to a thirsty cow or
horse as goblet Of ice-water to thirsty
laborer. .st

Evidence recently given before the ABDUL
teration Committee of the British Parlia-
ment has almost scared that body out Of its
propriety. Among the articles analysed
and reported upon by the professional ana
lysts employed by the committee were SAM
pies OF, Maizena," and "Oswego," well
known and popular preparations of Indian
corn, one OF which, from its supposed supe-
riority, has already taken first class medals

fraternity have been in the habit of ordering

The analyst, Mr.. Bartlett, states that the
best of these Goods contain only thirty three
grains out of7,000 of nutritious matter, the
remainder being pure starch, differing only
from the substance used to stiffen our shirt
collars in respect of having no "blue' in it.
Thata considerable number of infants and
invalids are stiffened by it's use we may fairly
suspect from the fact that these Ingenious
Preparations contain, according to the ana
lyst, nothing whatever capable of sustaining
life. If children or invaids are fed on them,
saysMr Bartlett, "they will die of starvation
as dog which was fed literally on them did
In fact, all the heterogeneous part is carefully
extracted from the "ioods," and given TO the
pigs as waste.
The best part of this highly entertaining
joke is that the manufacturer of the partc-
ular samples analyzed in this instance was
one ofthe members OF the very Committee
itself. He appears to have been innocently

ing an article which would render his name
