Diseases OF Farm Stock,

Demonstrated animals are neceS-
>arily placed under unnatural condi-
tons, which, without due precaulion
on the part Of their keepers, are like
" to produce disease. The climate
in which animals are forclblv kept is
frequently tar more severe than the
one in which they were originally
found, or the one they would select if
left to their own instincts. Animals
which have been bred for centuries
upon high, dry plains, in warm eli
mates, re taken to those of u direct
" opposite character, and then, very
likely, their owners expect to rear
them without aifordng artificial food
and protection sufficient to comprn
safe for losses sustained by change OF
locality. Horses from Africa and
sheep from Spain are expected to en-
dure the rigors Of an artic climate,
and establishment as often expressed
if the fail to do so without becoming
diseased. We think, however, the
greatest cause for woudcrmcut is that
our domestcatcd ANIMALS, us u rule,
are capable of enduring rs great hand
ships as they do.
The principal argument advanced
against the reforms proposed 10y our
most thorough and enlightened breed
ers of domrSticated. animals, is that
they are unnatural, and therefore use
less, if not positively injurious. Civ
inc warm stables cutting, grinding
and cooking food, all come under this
head Of unnatural processes. But AS
the very first step taken toward the
domestlcalion Of any animal was an
unnatural one, rs well as the greater
number of those which follow, it
must be plain to every reasonable
person that strict lines Of demarcatIon
between art and nature cannot be
drawn ut the present day. Whether
it be wide departure from natural
surrounding circumstances, or n lack
of providing the actual necessarles
and comforts of life, the fact is every
whe apparent that all kinds of
stock are subject to disease which do
not affect them i'll a wild state, at
least so far as we know their history
Demonstration appears to be ac-

70 Il for xlilch Cows

Comparatively few farmers arc
aware Of the Importance OF proper
food and pure water for COWS whose
milk is to be used for human food
Not but that all who have been in the
habit of handling milk unde stand
the facility with which milk will take
up foul odols, and also that milk will
acquire the odur Of onions, turl,lps
and other like food of which they
eat. such odors m" injurious to the
health. They are simply offensive
to the taste aud smell. Therefore Of
these substances We need not speak,
for the inlclli gencc of the dairyman
will prevent his using such food rs
must necessarily create disgust by It's
pcrSi tent odor.
There are, however, many sub
stances that to the ordinary observer
will not be apparent, but which carry
with them disease, and sometimes
death to the consumer of the milk.
TO understand this perfectly it must
be understood that the milk will con.
tain whatever noxious germs may be
confirmed in the blood Of the COW, tor
milk being product formed directly
from the blood of the animal produc-

ever obnoxious germs may be con

DISEASES OF HORSES.

The diseases to which the horse is
liable, are very numerous. but ninety
in every hundred are caused by neg
lect, and are, therefore, readily pre-
vented by giving the animals proper
care. AS the cold, rainy season ap-
proachcs in the Northern States, we
shall begin to near OF ''Greasy heel, .
a disease caused 10y neglect in remov-
ING mud and snow from the legs and
feet when the nimal is returned to
the stable after driving, or permitted
to stand in Its own filth. No horse
ever had what is termed grease or
sore heels, that was properly groom
ed and given dry, clean stall. The
same may be said of that loathsome
disease known us ''thrush," for it is
merely decay Of the frog and hoof
through standing in wet soil or in
animal cxcrement. Mango and other
diseases of the skin usually originate
in filthy stables, aad although they
may be transmitted to animals well
cared for, still there is little danger
of it except through actual contact
Ring bone, spawn, and diseases of
the limbs are usually caused by
strains, hard driving, or by accident.
Founder, hcaves, roaring and similar
diseases are produced by hard driving,
feeding, or watering when the animal
is very warm, or by giving muSty,
poor food when in the stable.
We might extend the list of dis
eases affecting horses, and name those
most prevalent among COWS III winter,
and even descend to the poultry yard
for subjects requiring word at this
season; but hint in regard to this
matter should be sufficient for any
one who has the least desire to con
