The county commissioners held short
meeting yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of considering some cases of de-
faulters who failed to turn out and work
the county roads when summoned to do
so.
The names of nine parties summoned
jan 7 to work on the Augusta road were
considered and four of them were ex-
cused for various reasons. The others
were all sentenced to spend thirty days
on the changing for their refusal to re-

day to SHOW cause, as they were also
directed to do.
Warrants for their arrest and commit

will be very carefully watched.

ABOUT BITTER MILK. @
Usually Caused by 1ll-Hsa1th and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.

Usually Caused by Ill-Health and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written con- plaining that the milk of their cows is bitter after standing a few hours or a single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome Some of the cows have been in but few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give pound of sulphate of soda (glauber salts) or of sulphate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and After this has operated, daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over mess of scalded bran or in other feed.-Western Rural ,,s..
