Chronic Diarrhea in Cattle.

There are various causes productive
of chronic diarrhpa, as there are also
of acute, and although the first some
times has the latter for its cause, the
effects are different in each disease, as
are the causes producing them. For
instance, that which would be produc-
live of acute diarrhpa in a sound ami
NAL, would not materially affect one
suffering from chronic diarrhpa.
That they are two distinct diseases
may be adduced from the fact, that an
animal suffering from an attack of the
acute disease is quickly and successfully
treated by remedies which would have
no effect upon one suffering from the
disease in a chronic form
There are different kinds of this dis
ease; of which one is intermittent. and
is believed by many country people to
be influenced by the moon. This has
its cause in a weakened state of the
liver, and its consequent susceptibility
of becoming easily and unduly excited
by different agents, which, being re-
moved, the animal, to use the words of
the owner, ''soOn gets well again.
Another kind is that to which year
lings are subject. when calves have not
had proper food, or have been fed with
view of saving the cows milk. This
kind of chronic diarrhoea, if improperly
treated, renders the career of the ami
NAL short; but if submitted at once to
proper treatment, and there be not con-
siderable structural arrangement of the
liver, there is still o favorable prospect
of recovery.
To the other kind, of all the most
subject to it are cows which are good
mixers" but why they are so we will
MOI attempt to explain, unless it be that
there is a greater demand upon the
system, and that they are more mad
vertently exposed to the inclemencies
of the weather, by being turned out of
a protected or warm barn, after being
MIXED, into q cold yard or unprotected
field, where they become exposed to a
cold, wet, or frosty atmosphere, and
are allowed to remain until again
wanted for the purpose of being MIXED.
One principle cause of chronic
diarrhea is the acute form neglected
or improperly treated, and this
frequently occurs when the latter is the
case, at the time when the COW doctor

recipes ''to stop the Scouring;" at a
stage where, in fact, when the animal
has had her constitution so impaired by
her attendant that the qualified veteri-
marian, now called in, should he sue
coed in propping up the falling fabric,
is supposed to have achieved, not what
the other failed in doing. but merely
an ordinary feat, or perhaps not even
that. Whereas, should he be SO i'm
polite as TO undertake the case and
not happen to succeed, it is then said,
che could not stop a securing cow" A
person should not be precipitate in
giving a decisive opinion unless he be
duly acquainted with the disease in its
various forms and combinations. We
are aware that there are many modifica-
tions of this disease in addition to the
aboye.-Prajrie Farmer.

When plants are received by mail,
place them in warm water for few
minutes, then pot them out and give q
thorough watering; then set them in a
warm, shady place for day or two,
after which give plenty of sunshine. If
for bedding out, plant in the open
ground at once; water thoroughly and
shade for few days until they are
started. Do not put plants in too large

in small pots and shift into larger ones

How and Where Malaria ThriTes.

The health officers of New Britain,
Conn, have made an instructive report
concerning the prevalence OF malarial
diseases in that town, and their con-
nection with certain supposed causes.
The causes of malarial and other mias-
matte diseases are not identical. though
they are similar, and the two classes
not infrequently occur in given local
ity at the same time; and the hygienlc
measures required to prevent them all
are the same. The essential conditions
for the development of malaria appear
to be: the pres ence of the malarial
germ; a high temperature and dry at
mosphere; and favorable conditions OF
the soil; and the absence of either of
them will suspend or prevent the action
of the poison. We have power only
over the third condition. "A generous
rain in the vicinity has, we think, in
variably suspended its action. And yet
previous condition of moisture is es-
sential to its manifestation. All de-
posts of vegetable matter, such as
muck, sink-drainage, heaps of decaying
vegetable matter, or even wet, spongy
land. furnish the essentials for its sup
port; but it is requisite that the soil
shall have been very wet, or covered
with water some portions of the year. "
A generous crop of grass, and perhaps
of other vegetable substance has been
known to prevent malaria. In 1880
nearly all the families in the neighbor-
hood of some lots which were largely
deposit of muck, had malaria. The
lots were plowed, dragged and sowed
with grass-seed, and the appearance of
the crop of grass and weeds was at
tended by a disappearance of chills and
fever. Two or three other instances are
mentioned in the same town in which
fever analogue was banished by giving
similar treatment to tracts of swampy
and mucky soil. Another case is speci-
fled where malaria was prevented by
the drying up of the sewerage and sink
water which usually found its outlet
through a system of bitches cut in
muck. Preparations We're making to
lay tiles in the bitches and fill them up,
but before this was done heavy rain
washed them out, and ''cauSed the pre-
vailing sickness to abate as suddenly as
it had commenced" From the first,
malaria has not prevailed in those parts
of the city where vegetable deposits and
filth have been absent, and the health
of the streets in (which sewers have been
laid has been remarkably good. Pop
