already prevail in diplomatic circles re-
garding the durability of the new cabinet
recently constructed by Senior Sagasta.
The crisis, which Is shortly anticipated,
will be preciptated by the discord pre-
vailng between Gamazo, the minister of
comm rec, who Is partisan of the in
come tax, and the minister Of finance, who
is an opponent of this measure.
While the imminent fall of tho Sagasta
ministry Is discussed, the talk of poll
ticians is as to who is likely to obtain the
premiership. The name which have iHlrd
most frequently mentioned is Senior Sill

man of great talent and much in favor.

MILK FEVER IN COWS.

Milk fever is a disease to be dreaded by the man who has first class dairy COWS, and who feeds and cares for them in such way as to make them large producers. The man with scrub COWS, that have to rustic for them selves during the winter round the straw stacks, never suffer from loss by milk fever when his cows come in the spring. It is true he gets no profit out of his COWS, and he rarely gets product enough from them to pay for the little feed and care they do have. But he can and does console himself by say ing he never has milk fever with his cows like those men do who ''stuff and hamper and baby their cows.
 We have lost within the past fifteen years several valuable cows with this disease We think we now know how to prevent it. A heifer with her first calf never has it and very. rarely the second calf A COW that is milked con- tinuously right up to calving is not liable to have milk fever, at least, we have never known one to. We hesl- lated to write that last sentence for fear some would accuse us of advocat- ing continuous milking. That we do not do, but still feel bound to state that fact. A COW starved or is fed just
