NOBODY BUT FATHER.

IThe following poem is floating around; un-
fortunately 70 one knows who wrote the gem
those paters who generously allow the mother
TO be father to the family are exempt:l
Nobody knows the money it takes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the debt it makes,
Nobody knows-but father.
Nobody's told that the boys need shoes
And girls hats with feather;
Nobody else old clothes must choose,
Nobody only father.
Nobody hears the coal and wood
And flour's out together
Nobody else must make them good, 81
Nobody only father.
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants to those
Dependent father.
Nobody thinks where the money will come
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum;
Nobody only father.
Nobody tries so hard to lay
Up something for bad weather,
And runs behind, do what he may,
Nobody only father.
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel
storm,
To meet dear ones who gather
Around with loving welcome warm,
Nobody does-b but father.
Nobody knows of the home life pure,
Watched over by mother
Where rest and bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-but father.

WHAT DOES THE WORLD ASK OF ME?

What does the Great World ask of me
have not sought to right its wrong .
l only brew my cup of tea
And, pouring, sing little song.
What does the Great World ask of me
l have not on it frowned nor smiled,
L only sing my songs for three,
Myself, my Husband and our Child.
What does the Great World ask of me Z
l only send my songs to roam:
That others, wheresoe'r they be,
May learn the joys of Love and Home.

SORE MOUTH AND
TONGUE In CATTLE.
STOMATITIS.

Ne term "otomatltls SlgnlneS an
inflammation of the mucous membrane
lining of the mouth. All domestic
animals are subject to this condition
from varying causes; the occasion
for this article, however, being the
severe and widespread outbreak now
existing among cattle throughout
central and eastern Virginia.
CAUSES.
These may be classed as mechani-
cal, chemical, microbian and other
irritants (Law). Injuries to the
mucous membrane are frequently
traced to thorns, briars and other
such substances taken in with the
food wounding the membrane, max
ing favorable entering places for
micro-organisms, the action of which
(through their tonic substance) is to
produce inflammation. Fodder con-
taminated with fungi is among the
most fruitful causes; and is the one
which is most probably responsible
for the present serious outbreak.
Aspergillus (White Mold), ergot and
puccina GramiDis (rust), having been
found by the writer in the relative
proportions as they are named; their
existence having been favored by the
wet season and absence of sunlight.
Red and white clover, trefoil, hybrid
and purple clover and alfalfa have
all been known to produce it; though
in most cases such foods have been
the host of bacterial ferments. Many
other causes might also be named if
space permitted; these being in the
writer's opinion the only ones deserv-
ing space here.
SYMPTOMS.
These vary according to the degree
of Inflammation. At first the animal
is noticed to be dull and gaunt; the
early (congestive stage is marked by
dryness of the mouth and redness of
the gums, tongue and cheeks; this
stage having passed, ptyalism (pro-
fuse salivation( becomes a marked
feature; the animal is seen to keen
working the jaws. causing a smack
ing noise, with frothy mucous col
lecting about the mouth. Upon
closer examination the mucous mem
brane will be found detached from
larger or smaller patches; leaving an
excessively red and painful condition.
A disagreeable odor is also present
frequently, emaciation becomes rapid
the animal being unable to feed
marked fever and stiffness accom-.
panies severer cases: and death from
starvation is far from uncommon.
TREATMENT.
Remove afflicted animals from sucl
pastures as have produced it; provide
nutritive food which must be sloppy
or soft boiled roots, bran and grounc
oats and corn made into mashes
Pure water in abundance is very inn
, portant. Among medicinal agent
there Is large group which give
favorable results. Probably non,
