In the report of DR.. Hopkins veter-
marian of the Wyoming association, a
cause of the death of states bulls and
cattle was brought cut that has es-
capped the notice of our coWmen. 1t
was supposed that states cattle die in
larger numbers than others because the
cold was more intense and the feed of
different kind. It appears that they
do not die as much from this reason,
however, as from the fact that these
changes bring diseases, common to all
pilgrims on the range. The fact has
now been established beyond all doubt
that bulls and especially pilgrim 8
cannot run with the herd the whole
year without serious boss. They must
be taken up and fed. If they are not.
disease in some shape and death are
sure to attack them. In view OF this
fact, we prOphesy that the time is close
at hand when the cowmen will see il is
to their interest to not only take up
their bulls for seven or eight months in
the year, but also to feed them well
and give them some kind OF shelter
besides wire fence.
Cheese is generally thought nowaday S
to be less digestible than other articles
of food, rich in what the chemists call
protein" The same opinion prevails in
Germany, where the custom as in France
and England, where cheese is more
largely consumed, of eating it at the
close of a meal to aid in digestion is
laughed at, and has led to the saying
that cheese eaten in this way digests
everything but itself A noted German
chemist, DIR. Van Kleuse, has carefully
investigated the digestibility of the
prominent kinds of cheese, with meat
and milk, by artificial gastric juice. The
re d t was favorable to cheese. those the
best ripened being the easiest of diges-
ton. Comparing cheese and other
kinds of food rich in protein, it would
appear that the opinion that cheese is a
particularly indigestible form of such
food is not well founded, provided that
it is good in quality and well ripened ;
its protein (the casein) is then as conf
pletely dissolved by this artificial gas
| trio juice as is the protein (fibrin) OF
meat or the protein (albumen) of eggs,
and much more so than when the same
casein is taken in fresh milk. Now that
this question is settled won't it be well
for our country girls to try their hands
at cheese making2 What is better

A lady correspondent of the Prairie
! Farmer writes: About twenty years
ago applied to a celebrated German
physician of New York City for treat
ment of disease in which other physi-
clans had failed. He gave me some
medicine, but, said he: at will do you
very little good while you are suffering
with cold feet. Go home, soak your
feet for twenty minutes in water just
as hot as you can bear them in, and
keep adding hot water, so that it will
remain at about the same temperature
Put about two tablespoonfuls of must
ard in the water. When you take them
out, rub them briskly with a coarse
towel until they are dry. and keep them
away from the stove, or any artificial
heat. "But, doctor" said I, "they
will soon be cold again; what shall do
if cannot put them near the stove?''
."Soak them every time they are
| COlu. Il IL clOuAQ OC Ola VI ltlnCc q
dav." I obeyed the instruction, but
thought for several days that my feet
would certainly freeze. Finally, how
ever, the circulation was restored, and
I have never suffered with cold feet
since. When the pores are open and
the bloood circulating freely in ones
feet, they are as warm as any other
part of the body. l soak them regu-
larly, once a week, using mustard two
or three times during a winter. Ere
quently, at church, lectures, and social
gatherings, hear others complaining
of cold feet, while /. who wear thin
cotton stockings all winter II can not
wear WOODEN, never have cold feet /
wear either goat or calf shoes, with
thick soles. / have written my expert
ence. hoping that others may be much
identified by this recital of it.
