Scarcely week passes that there Is
not a report in the newspapers OF some
one who has died of tetanus, commonly
called lockjaw, brought on by some
sharp instrument being stuck in the
body; usually q nail stuck in the foot

playing. and suffered no more from the
wound. The hniment is good for any
fresh wound on man or beast, and every
family ought TO keep bottle of it.

Professor G. c. Caldwell. discussing
the influence of food on milk says:
We have comparatively little definite
information on the subject. Wet or dry
food does not seem to affect the cosLpc-
sition Of the blood, but on insufficient
food the blood becomes watery and
thin The same effect Is sometimes
produced by disease. There appears 10
be no direct revelation between the flow
of milk and succulent food. Foods rich
in albuminoids increase the richness Of
milk, and recent experiments show
that the relative proportion of caseiDe
20 fat may be varied by the food. b.
the use OF palm-nut mea. the fat was
increased, but not the caseine. Much
depends on good stock as well as good
feed. But the same COW may give diff
ferent results on the same treatment
and feed. Sometimes there are changes
that cannot be accounted for by feed
The milk is elaborated from the food
taken into the cows stomach, though
milk is probably the direct product Of
the breaking down of the mix glands
themselves. Hence the skiliful feeder
may take advantage in the selection Of
food to,yary the quality and favor OF
the milk. Bad ensilage may injure
milk, but good ensilage will do Il no
harm. The effect Of alkaloids on milk
is now under Investigation by the chem
lists. Few things are definitely settled,
but chemistry Is coming in rs the hand

In the discussion that followed, il was
agreed that cows VIII eat sweet clover
only when compelled to, and that It IN
faYorably affects the milk. A few
plants of sweet clover will scent and
flavor q whole NOW. When grown IN |
and cut early in June. sweet
clover is much more succulent and ten
der than when grown in Isolated stalks
and cut late. - - y ~
