Summer Care OF Dairy Cows.

The practise is too common among far
mers to allow their cows to run out day
and night, however cold aud stormy the
weather may be, from the day they are
turned out in the spring until the first
snow III the fall, and sometimes even
later. Cows are subject to take cold from
exposure to inclement weather, fully as
much as men are, and these colds often
so completely derangc and weaken the
whole system. that garget with all its
evils as we'll as many other cow diseases,
receive their starting point IN this way.
Cause and effect are, as a general rule, 50
far separated from each other by inter
vcnng time, in cases Of gargct that we
fail to trace the connect ton between them
Yet of all the diseases or ailments to
which the dairy COW is subjected, garget
causes the greatest loss Of the dairyman,
is the most difficult TO cure (murrain cX-
cepted,) and the most difficult to trace to
its origin. Among the prolific causes OF
garget, the following may be named:
First. Fast driving when the cows bag
is full of milk, causing internal injuries
to the udder.
Second. External injuries to the bag,
such as ,humps and bruises with sticks
and stones.
Third. Improper management in dry
ing the COWS off at the close of the milk
ing season. --r, o-..-
Fourth Overlooking with grain.
Fifth. Changing the COW too sudden
ly from dry food to succulent or milk
producing food and not giving the milk
! producing ana milk secreting organs
time to conform to the change of food.
Last, bnt not least, constant source
from which garget arises is the cruel ex-
posurc of the COWS to cold storms OF
F., rain or snow A deep mixer (and poor

always very liable to attacks Of gargct

are often slight at first, but each succeed
ing one always comes with greater vic.
lence than the one preceding it until
the COW is finally ruined. The dairyman
whose COWS are run the most from the
pasture to the milking barn, have the
most stones thrown at them on the way

CAREY AND THE PRINCE.
Louis Eugene in Love With WinsOme En-.
g!ish Lassic.

Carey, the lieutenant who did not save
Prince Napoleon, is condemned, says q
London letter writer, before lie is heard
on this side of the ocean. But when all
tnc facts come out, it will fear. be an
other case of sacrificing the junior for the
seniors faults. 1t has been shown no
doubt, over and over again in this cam
paign. that brave man my turr back
for comradc and rescue him under fire
but we know nothing of the cases in
which brave men did not risk their lives
in the interests Of others. If the prince
had been an ordinary officer we should
have heard little Or nothing about the
affair. The Zulus had established such II
"fmk" in the British camp that Carey,
who at all times seems to have behaved
splcndidly, possibly had no other thought
but to escape, and he was evidently un-
der the impression that the prince was be-
hind him. suppose we shall know more
about it soon. In the meantime we are
getting up an udseemly fuss about Dean
Stanley's permission, asked and gwen, for
a statue OF the prince to be placed III
Westminster Abbey. influence is
being used to make the dean recall his
mandate. The Daily NeWs leads the at
tack. But Stauleyis not the man to give
way. and some of his friends think his
broad liberalism ought to protect him at
least from the Meas. 1t has been sad of
him, with truth, that he is liberal enough
to let Cardinals Manning and Newman
celebrate mass in the Abbey if they
would consent to have Darwin preach a
sermon on the occasion. BY the way,
there is some reason to believe that the
Prince Napoleon had "a love affair, il
but the young lady was not princess.
Nor was it exactly a romance of the King
Cophetua character. Modemoisclle was
an English girl at Chiselhurst, her name
Smith Some people say this was a
Princess incognita. Not at all. My in
formant is an old inhabitant of the village
''rhe Prince was downright in love with
her; he used to see her in chapel, and he
often spoke to her outside chapel, and he
was quite in earnest, and it made the
Empress very anxious" SO runs the
story, and, if you saw the fresh, pretty
rosy, English village beauty you might
well believe it to lac true.

Peg Wellington was fine actress both
in tragedy and .omeuy. Her voice, how
ever, was very unsuited to tragedy, and
Therefore her comedy presentations were
her greatest triumph. The lart with
W ich her name is inseparabiy connected
is that OF the dashing man of fashion, Sir
Harry Wildair, in which her voice. man
ner, bearing, gesture, and even fgnre,
were SO exactly those of a Young blade
that an unmarried lady, of large wealth
and high position, who came up from the
country and saw her play Sir Harry, be-
lieved she q as a man, fell in love, and ac-
tually wrote to her proposing marriage.
Reading the criticisms of Pegs reckless
air of youthful profigacy her sparkling
eyes, her bubbling spirits, her side
splitting devlltry, her marvellous dash in
the par: OF Sir Harry, the contemplation
Of her lovely placid face will be surprise.
