CAUSE AND CURE OF BLOODY MILK.

rangement of the action of the liver,
or in some COWS is the result of alb
normal action of the milk glands.
Some COWS suffer from it in conse-
quence of overfeeding, by which IN
infammatory condition of the udder
is produced, thus exciting the action
of the milk glands, which, on account
OF the udder being overcharged with
blood, secrete some of this blood, which
mixes with the milk. This blood would
otherwise be milk, for milk is direct
product of the blood, and if the udder
were in normal condition the blood
would be changed into milk by the
healthful action of the glards. Some
times the liver is so disordered by
overfeeding of rich food that the
blood is not sufficiently purified and
in this case the jmpurity of the blood
escapes through the milk, instead of,
as at other times, through the kid
neys, when the disease would appear
as red water. At times this fault in
the secretory function is constitution
al, and heifer may always give
bloody milk, and may continue to do
60, thus being useless in the dairy.
That this kind OF milk is wholly alb.
normal is shown by the fact that
calves will not drink it. The treat
ment should be by laxative and cool
ing medicine, such as epson salts, CIV
en- in half-pound doses daily for few
days, after which the system will prob
ably be relieved of the undue strain
on the secretory organs, and the milk
be all right. York Times.
THE FARMHOUSE AS A BOARDING HOUSE.
was reading an article not long
since, said Mrs. Fl. A. Whitman before
the Androscoggin (Me.) Pomona
Grange, upon Farmers should pro-
vide separate cottages for their hired
men," which, I think, deserves more
than q passing thought. The writer
said: "Do merchants generally board
their clerks? Do manufacturers usu-
ally impose upon their wives and
daughters the necessity of furnishing
meals and beds for their begrimed and
sweaty laborers from forge and loom,
Of serving them at table with their
food and sharing their company at the
ireside! Why should the wives and
daughters offarmers be expected to do
this? And SO long as such burden
is laid upon them, is it strange that
farmers sons rebel against their lot
and seek the city, and farmers daugh.
ters set their caps for clerks, mechan.
les, tailors, speculators-anybody but
their schoolmates?
"The introduction of hired men
into the household destroys the family
relation. The farmhouse becomes g
boarding house, in which the husband
is steward, the wife cook and the
workmen boarders. The employed be.
comes the served, and the employers
servants. No well-bred woman car
tolerate such condition of things un
less her ambition is crushed"
There is many a woman in the land
who has cooked tons of food for "the
hired men," who, while her HUSBAND
has grown well-to-do and been elected
Justice of the Peace and gone to the
Legislature, has become thin and fur
rowed with drudgery, bent to q furi
Gus and never ending rotation o
scrubbing, baking, stowing for tn
hired men.
This wretched community system
has prevailed long enough in America
to the amazement of foreigners ant
the disgust OF our own people. 1t j
high time that every farmer with
particle Of personal sensibllity or in
depe ndence, or with any respect TO
the rights of his companion, shoult
adopt a better way.
