@-Megrims is sometimes caused bv
organic disease of the brain, and when
1t can be traced to this cause a radical
cure is out of the question. 1t, how
ever. frequently occurs from temporary
congestion of the blood vessels of the
brain from a too tight-fitting collar,
from checking too high, and from a
damaged state of the digestive organs
Horses which are liable to be attacked
with megrims should wear a wet sponge
on top of the head in warm weather,
and should not be compelled to wear
check-rein. Proper attention should al
SO be given to the fitting of the collar.

"A suet pudding that is not too rich
helps to make variety at the dinner
table. Here is an excellent receipt:
One cup of, chopped suet, one cup of
raisirs, stoned and chopped one cup of
sweet milk. four cups of flour, one cup
of molasses, one teaspoonful of saltand
one of soda; steam for three hours
This makes q large pudding, enough
for a dozen people, and half the quanti-
" may of course be used. If you have
an old-fashioned cake lin with a spout
in the center it is the very best kind of
dish to steam this pudding in. Serve
hot with sour or wine sauce. This pud-
ding is good the second day after it is
made. and seems even lighter after the
second steaming than after the first
