CONCERNING THE CARE OF AMI.
MAILS.

There are few individuals of the hu-
man race who are not more or less in
terested in the purity OF healthfulness Of
the milk supply. Hence it is to the
care Of cattle that We turn our attention
first.
Hsalthful milk can only come from
COWS that are in first rate condition |;
and mono can be kept SO, save by un-
ceasing and intelligent care in housing,
in cleanliness, in food and in medicine.
Every one who has observed the mat
ter knows that cows which are exposed
to the weather without adequate shelter,
will, during Q cold storm of rain or
snow, shrink greatly in their flow of
milk often a third and sometimes one
half. Besides that, the milk is poorer
in quality. 1t is deficient, not only in
body y-quality-c but IN cream.
The animal was obliged to use it own
muscle and fat producing elements in
stead of delivering them in milk for the
use of man, and this notwithstanding
the fact that it had consumed more food
during the storm than 1t would have
done during more moderate weather.
So the farmer who fails to keep his cat
tie warmly housed has lost in two ways ::
He has wasted his fodder and failed to
receive his full supply of milk or but
ter.
In another way he is similarly q
loser if his cattle are warmly stabbed
but not kept in a clean condition. A
COW in an unclean stable may give as
much milk as one in well cleaned
and aired stable, but it is of poorer
quality and will bring trouble upon her
owner, if the milk is sold, by its fever
ish tendency to ferment or, if butter is
the product desired, it will be found
that less in quantity Is obtained per
quart.
But in our climate even the most per-
feet of stables, the best of food-good
hay, corn or oats-and the most perfect
cleanliness do not ALWAYS suffice tc keep
cows in first-class condition. Like hu-
man beings, they need sunshine, air
! and exercise, 10 keep their systems
from being clogged yet in our climate
these things are not practicable at al
times. The old practice, with animals
( a. with human beings was blood letting
but we have grown wiser now. We
| know that there are organs of the body
which are intended expressly to purify
] the blood by their natural action, and
| So We stimulate these to do their proper
work, by the use of gentle but effectua
vegetable remedies.

and poultry, there Ii an old and wei
established remedy which never fails t.
