THE TRAINING OF THE CHILD

Parents Must Think.
1t is not always safe to jump at con
clusions that the real meaning or cor
rect wording of a child's mind is
shown by what he says.
A little boy, having been disobedi-
ent, was sent by his suffering
mother to get a switch from cump
of bushes. Knowing full well the use
to which the switch would be put. the
little fellow made one or two feeble.
Intellectual attempts at securing The
stick, ana, returning TO the house, ex-
claimed:
Mamma, I could not get a stick
but here is stone that you may throw
at me-"
The question naturally arises, did
the boy really wish to help his mother
out in her plan of retribution, or was
his action based upon a knowledge Of
a woman's inability TO throw stone
and hit what she aimed at? There
was mental calculation of some sort,
or the boy would have returned
empty-handed and taken chances on q
hand made" spanking.
Mental growth along the line Of
sense of proportion is essential. and
should be stimulated in early years.
There are too many "grown-ups" who
never seem to realize that the loss Of
a collar button of a dripping sky on
the day set for the picnic are not ma
uonaI calamities, and do not call for
the exercise of as strong feelings
or expressions as would a declara-
ton of war between two great
countries

A Great Question A.ker.

Instigated by a desire for knowI-
edge, which is one of the first indica-
tons that a childs mental develop
ment has begun in earnest, he asks
numberless questions. and tries in his
Childish way to get at the solution Of
things 80 mysterious to him. He is
accused of having too much curiosity.
and many times he is told that he is
tiresome child, that he should not ask
so many questions. that Mamma is
busy-Tun away and play" The child
is put off when his mind is thirsty for
knowledge, which it is as much his
right to have, and which is of as much
importance to him as is the study Of
the star-studded sky to the asrrono-
mer, who, from his watch tower, scans
the heavens for signs of a new constel-
lation or comet.

Children Reason Early.

Children begin TO reason things out
at a very early age. and they are able
sometimes 10 arrive at conclusions by
naens of astonishingly short cuts, and
they often give evidence of logical
reasoning which is as comical as sur
prising.
This is illustrated by the questioning
of little Jennie, who, sitting quietly
one day, suddenly said to her mother:
Mamma. if 1 should srow up and
not get married, would 1 be an old
maid like Aunt Maria ?"
Yes" her mother replied, 81 sup
pose so"
Jennie-thoughtfully after a pause:
And, mamma, if l should grow up
and get married. would 1 have hus-
band like papa?"
But who do you ask. my daugh-
:e-?"
Oh replied the little one, "I was
only thinking what hard world this
is for us women folks!"-an answer
which spoke better for little Jennie's
observation and reasoning powers
than it did for Aunt Maria or her
fathers personality.

these COWS continue to secrete milk
right up to the time of calving. In
those cases where the animals go
dry the excess of nutriment in the
food has no avenue of escape and i'm
mediately becomes stored up in the
glands and in the blood, throwing the
system into a high state of plethora.
Now. at the time of calving all the
blood which has been supplying the
fetus is suddenly thrown back on
the circulation, and if the udder does
not begin active secretion very
promptly plethora becomes extreme.
The blood plasma under these condi-
tons is very rich and dense, contain
ing a large percentage of albumen
and glycogen and causing a shrink
age in size of the blood cells. This
condition is invariably seen when the
blood of whichever patients is eX-
amined under the microscope.
Fatness OF the animal has been as
cribed an important place among the
causes of milk fever. This, however,
in itself is probably not predispos-
ing cause The beef breeds (Angus
and Shorthorn) are usually in far bet
ter condition at the time of calving
than the milking breeds Jersey and
Holstein), and yet milk fever is
rarity in the former. At the same
time it must be understood that
fat Jersey is more predisposed chan
one in poor flesh. In the fat Jersey
the system is Already loaded with an
excess of nutriment, and, at the time
of calving extreme plethora is more
readily produced than in the thin ami
nal where the excess Of nutrltiVe
elements could be more readily used
and stored in the depleted muscular
and glanular structures of the body.
Fatness is therefore only of import
ance in the production OF the disease
in so far as it tends to increase gland
ular activity, particularly of the nd
der, and because of the higher state
of plethora of the fat animal.
Regarding the direct cause OF milk
fever numerous theories have been
advanced by various investigators.
but only to be abandoned as further
discoveries in pathology were made.
Thus Schmidt, of Muhlheim, baslng
his theory upon the striking resem-
blance of the symptoms of milk fever
to those of sausage poisoning, claimed
that the former was due to all auto

dairy industry. 1t is therefore of the
greatest economic Importance that
every milk producer acquaint himself
with the present extremely successful
methods of treating this disease, es-
pecially injection of filtered atmos-
pheric air into the udder. This form
of treatment has been adopted with
in a comparatively recent time, and,
in view of the uniform success that
has followed, every dairyman should
become familiar with it's use and
should provide himself with suitable
apparatus for it's app ication, especi-
ally if he is located where the servi-
ces of a competent veterinarian can
not be secured. This method of deal
ing with the disease does not make
the assistance of the veterinarian I'M
desirable. in case it is obtainable as
the professional man may frequently
be of the greatest assistance in treat
ing complicated symptoms, should
they arise.
Name and Synonyms.
The common name for this malady
milk fever-is an erroneous one,
as in reality fever is usually absent;
instead there is generally an actual
reduction in body temperature. A
far better and more distinctive term
and one that describes the actual
condition much more precisely is par
turient paresis. The disease has also
several other names in various parts
of the country, such as calving fever,
parturition fever, parturient apo
plexy, parturient collapse, puerperal
fever, vitulary fever, and dropping
after calving.
Description of Disease.
Milk fever is a disease of we'll
nourished, plethoric, heavy-milking
COWS; it occurs during the most act
i've period of life Fourth to sixth
calf and is characterized by its
sudden onset, and the complete par
alysis of the animal with loss Of
sensation and by following closely
the act of calving or parturition, ter
minating in a short time in recovery
or death. One attack predispOses the
animal to a recurrence of the trouble.
While this disease may occur at any
time during the whole year, it is seen
principally during the warm summer
season The affection is almost en-
tirely confined to the COW, although
a few cases have been reported in
the SOW and goat. Sheep are entirely
free from the disease.
Predispositon and Cause.
There are few diseases among our
domesticated animals regarding the
exact cause of which more widely
different theories have been advanced
than that of milk fever The causes
may properly be divided into two
-predisposing and direct. Elk
perience shows one of the most
prominent predisposing causes to be
the great activity of the milk-secret-
ing structure namely, the udder. This
organ is most active after the fourth,
fifth, and sixth parturition and this
is the time of life when the vast ma
jority of cases occur. The disease
is almost unknown in heifers with the
first calf and decreases in frequency
steadily after the most active milk
ing period is past. 1t is rarely, if
ever, met with in pure beef breeds,
such as Shorthorn, Angus, and Here
ford while it's main inroads are made
INTO the heavy milking breeds, such
as the Holstein Jersey, and Guern-
sey. Another factor that is probably
