Brydnt's Pond, june 3.
There are many causes for what is usually
known as garget, or swelled udder. in cows
and after many wears experience in the
keeping and the handling Of cows We have
come 10 the conclusion that, except in cases
where it was hereditary there are but
few such cases--it is generally caused by
maltreatment on the part of the person
having the cows in care. If that term is a
little too harsh, then We will say il is
brought on by Neglect in their care, or by
harsh treatment in handling, and sometimes
by accident. Sometimes the udder is step
ped on by another animal, or hooked. or
forcibly hit in some other way. This injury,
though possibly light in itself. causes in
lammation. The inflammation obs;ructs
or interferes with the usual and natural Sc
erection and flow of the milk, and the inHam-
nation is aggravated and the trouble, small
n, first, becomes serious
1t is quite common for cases of garget TO
appear when the cows are first turned to
pasture in the spring. In such cases it is
generally caused by the change and expo

Running out in the hot sun to be tor
mented with flies causes horse to fall away
in flesh, and by reason of stamping the feet,
increases the blacksmith's bill. We think
it a good plan to keep the horse in the barn
in the day time, if sunny, and turn it out at
evening. If this practice is observed and
the grain fed as regularly as in winter those
farm horses that only NOW and cultivate
few hours day may carry their usual flesh
during the hot months.

HONE PoLITENEss.-A boy who is polite
to father and mother, is polite to everybody
else. A boy lacking politeness TO his pa
rents may have the semblance of courtesy
in society, but is never truly polite in spirit,
and is in danger, as he becomes familiar, of
betraying his real want of courtesy. We
are all in danger of living too much for
the outside world, for the impression which
we make in society, coveting the good opin-
ion of others and caring too little for the
opinion of those who are in a sense part of
ourselves. and who will continue to sustain
and be interested in US, notwithstanding
these defects of department and character.
We say to every boy and every girl, cult
waite the habit of courtesy and propriety at
home-in the kitchen as well as in the par
lor, and you will be sure in other places to
deport yourself in becoming and attractive
manner.

A restless disposition in horse Is often
very annoying aad generally hard to over
come. One thing noticeable about il is ina,
such a disposition generally belongs to a
horse which is deficient of real good horse
sense; hence the lack Of a good foundation
on which TO begin a reform. Kind treat
ment and quiet handling are about the best
treatment tina; can be prescribed in such
cases. One thing is positive, that the
rougher they are handled the more liable
they are TO become nervous and excitable.

~ Novel Platform

The Greenbackers Of Massachusetts,
have adopted platform which contains
some planAs that are novelty in party
platforms:
1. That eight hours shall constitute
days work in ali public and private i.-
dustries.
2. That national law be enacted pro-
hihiting the holding or ownership of
land by aliens
8. That labor should be protected by
National and State authority, so as to
,Qualzc burdens and insure the just dis.
tliputi"n OF its results.
4. That railways and other monopolies
should be regulated by the Government
for the good of the whole people.
5. That the practice of employing
children in factories and shops should be
abolished.
6. That graduated tax on incomes
shall be established.
:. That convict labor shall not be allowed
to conflict with free labor.
8. That all lands granted to railroads
whether earned or unearned, shall revert
to the National Government.
0. That there should be no exemption
of any proper ty from taxation.
TO- That the recent Greenback decision
of the Supreme Court is endorsed. and
that the issuing OF money should be taken
from the banks and exercised by the
Government.
II. That the regulation of the liquor
traffic should not be made party ques-
tion.
12. That courts of arbitration for the
settlement of disputes between employers
and employed should be established.
These planks are not here gwen in the
order nor In the fullness OF the original
but they are all to be found in the plat
form adopted by the Greenbackers OF
Massachusetts,. 1t will be admitted by
every reader that there are good many
things here that the workingmen of the

Mixed Metaphors.

Metaphors are as fascinating to the
average orator AS edge-tools are to child
rcn. and their use is as frequently follow =
ed by lamrntable results. The negro
preacher and the Irish lawyer ere often
tempted to indulge in this seductive but
most misleading form of speech.
1t was a negro preacher who, confessinS
his faults before his congregation. cried
aloud,-
"Brethcrn. the muddy pool of politics
was the rock on which split"
1t was another who fervently exclaim
ed,-
1--WE thank Thee tor this spark OF grace
water ii, good Lord.
Another prayed for "grace that we
might grid up the lofns OF our Minds, so
that We shall receive the latter rain"
The following peroration is attributed
to an Irish barrster:
Gentlemen Of the Jury, it will be for
you to say whether this defendant sh hould
be allowed TO come into court with un>
blushing footstep with tho cloak "i hv-
pocrisy in his mouth, and draw three bull
locks out Of my clients pocket with im-
punity.'
Mr. Shaw, member of Cork, and a sob
er minded man, WAS once seized by the
spirit of metaphor. when addressing a
meeting held on Sunday TO discuss the
lan|l-question, and this is what it made
him say
"They tell us that we violate the Sab
bath by being here to-day. Yet, if the
ass or the OK fall into the pit, we Can take

sour brother is in the pit to day-the
farmer and the landlord are both in it
and We are come here to try if We can lift
them out
This simlitudc of an Irish landlord to
au animal prcdestined to slaughter was
bold The other half of the analogy
seemed calculated TO get Mr.. Shaw into
trouble with his constituency.
