Cause of MILK Fever.

One of the most general causes 0f
milk fever which attacks cows from
6 to 48 hours after calving is the
carelessness of many farmers and
dairymen in milking the cows udGer
out clean just before or after calving,
which allows the glands of the udder
to flop together, which irritates the
glands and causes the fever. Nature
places an abundance of milk in the
udder at this time for the above pur-
pose, and only part of it should be
drawn at once, repeating it frequent
ly, as the milk serves to keep the
udder distended and full, and acts
like the air treatment does.-Sor.

Calcutta, India.-It is serious ig-
norance of the worlds big news to be
unaware that there is at present in
India a widespread sentiment of re-
sentiment, If not actual revolt, against
Great Britain, which may at any time
find sporadic expression in revolu-
ton. Great Britain, with the self-con-
fdence of the strong, does not seem
to be paying much attention to the
matter, although some persons, re-
calling that this year marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the mutiny, are nerv-
ously calling public attention to GER
tain disturbing signs.
Anyone who gets as close to the ma
tives as the missionary does-which is
far closer than any other white man
knows that the foremost subject of
thought and agitation among them is
what they consider their wrongs at
the hands of the government They
claim that they are being dealt with
in high-handed and oppressive fash
ion; that they are denied anything ap-
preaching a proper measure of self.
government; that the public offices
are open to them in a decreasing de-
gree, and that, in short, India is being
ruled for the welfare of Great Britain.
AMI not of India.
The "India for the Indians" Cry.
Now fair-minded observer cannot
by any means agree with all of the
positions of the Indian agitators; nor
can he withhold a great deal of ad-
miration for the fairness and disin-
terestedness of the British officials.
Nevertheless, he is bound to recognize
the seriousness, not to say ominous-
ness, of this "Swadeshi" or India
for the Indians" agitation Without
putting much credence in the talk Of
national uprising against the white
mans rule, (as one precaution, the
native troops have never been per-
m!tted to serve artillery since the
mutiny) it cannot be denied that the
deeD-fowing, ever-increasing and
widely-manifested tide of midas ma
tional sentiment is worthy of most
serious consideration.

the sweepers. Having nothing to losU
by accepting Christianity, thousands
of these have embraced the gospel;
and they are to-day entering the
Christian church in large numbers.
The motives of many are doubtless
mixed, but they at least afford the
missionary material on which to
work. The material is not of the best
but it is human. Here, as in all
heather lands, it is to be borne in
mind that the missionary is really
after his converts grandchildren; no
missionary known to me expects to
see completely transformed and
Christianized people come out of raw
heathendom
So he bears with the shortcomings
of his Christians. He laboriously tries
to set them on their feet, and though
they fall hundred times from the
ideals of self-respect and self-support,
coming to him with the bland assur-
ance, you are my father and my
mother; please help me-" he does not
lose heart. For he has ever before his
eyes the spectacle Of outcasts who
have been made over into noble men
and women by the power Of the
Christian religion.
How Sons Excel Fathers.
Undoubtedly the missionaries are
Transforming their people. One of the
Methodist missionaries at Lucknow
pointed out to me a young man be-
longing to their church, the youngest
of three sons, whose father never
earned more than eight rupees a
moath in his life. All the boys are
products of the Methodist school. One
of them is secretary to the governor,
and all are in government employ,
winning their places in competitive
examination; and the salary of the
most poorly paid is $50 rupees a
month, or 10 times that of his father.
This is the sort of thing that is being
accomplished all over India.
The schools of India are the crown
ing glory of mission work; they are
the mills of which manhood and
womanhood is the finished product.

fashion, so that new enterprises fer
the winning of the livelihood are be-

For the Christians, be it understood,
are practically caste by themselves
in most places. They are cast off by
their families, friends and co-religion-
lists; and it is necessary that some
means of livelihood, not dependent
upon neighborhood favor, be taught
them. Thus industrial training has a
most practical relation to missionary
success; since not ALL nor, in these
days of great ingathering, a very
large percentage of the native Chris
tians can be employed by the mission
aries in any capacity.
The powerful social leverage which
is exerted by female education in a
land where women are kept behind
the curtain,' is almost incompre-
hensible to one accustomed to the
liberty of the west, and to the equality
of the sexes. The missionaries have
far-sightedly set to work to make the
very springs of India society Chris

ror which merely peeps in at one of

ranging about the native quarters of
cities where the deaths from plague

there lies the missionary's lot. and he
will explain that very few white per-

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
HILL LAND AND THE DAIRY.
Hills Too Steep to Cultivate Should
Be Turned Inro Grazing Grounds.


In the south today there are many
hills being pIoWed that should be in
grass. It is reported that an old negro
advertised bottom land for sale; and
when the would-be buyer called to
look at the land he found nothing
but E;il land from which all the soil
had been washed off. He was indig-
nant and exclaimed: You advertised
bottom landi"
"Yas, sah,' replied the aged negro,
ut shuah am. De tops all done gone,
and dat leaves just de bottom land"
There are many thousands of acres
of that kind of bottom land on south
ern hills, and there will be many
thousands more if radical changes in
farm practices are not inaugurated.
By gradually blowing deeper while
gradually filling the soil with vege-
table matter through the use Of ami
NAL manure and the turning under
of soil-improving crops, some of the
washing could be prevented. Of
course, terracing and hillside ditch
ing should be done in large number
of cases, SO as to carry the water
down gradually and keep it from
rushing down and carrying the son
with it. But even If all these things
were done-and they are not one time
in twenty when they are needed
many hills would still be worth more
In pasture than in cultivated crops.
Cultivated crops might do well for
short eSme, but the heavy southern
rains would gradually carry off the
best part of the land, till only the old
negroes kind of bottom land remained.
Then very poor cultivated crops could
be got; and the pasture that could
be got from the land in that condi
ton would be SO poor that dairy
cow would travel over SO much land
trying to get enough to eat that she
could not give much milk.
Southern farming is suffering from
many drawbacks, but from none more
than from poor pastures in a section
that would grow luxuriant pasturage
large part Of the year if the right
pasture grasses were used-that is,
grasses suited to the soil of the farm,
to the climate, and to the shade or
SUNSHINE where the grasses were to
grow.
A good pasture on hill land, whether
wooded or free from timber, will be
good for one who has anything to
pasture; but the dairynan will be
one especially who can use such land
so as to get good returns from it.
Small patches of land that require
one-third of the time spent in the
field to be used in turning and that
also have much waste land along the
borders of the small fields can not be
used for cultivated crops with much
advantage Southern farmers must
manage in a way that shows they ap-
preciate the fact that labor is expen-
sive and must be used so as to bring
good returns for the time spent. This
is impossible in small patches. La
Dor also costs too much to use it in
cultiyating poor land. Large blocks
of land that are fertile is where
money is made easily.

"Swadeshi'' signs may be seen in
abundance on the stores of trade5men
who have pledged themselves to deal
in India-made wares exclusively. This
commercial and industrial side of the
"Swadeshi" movement has direct re-
lation to the industrial teaching in
qission schools. The native papers
are full of "Swadeshi" talk; and it is
not wholly absent from the praise
worthy national missionary organiza-
ton which Indians have organized, the
object being to further the evangeli-
cation by native Christians alone, I'M
aided by foreigners. Furthermore, one
frequently runs across "Swadeshi"
mass meetings; | found one under
way in College square here, with hun
dreds of students listening eagerly to
the imprisoned speeches. 1t was
rather surprising that the Y. M. C. A.
student leaders were able to gather a
crowd, fully half as large, only SO
yards away.
The oriental dearly loves intrigue
i and agitation; especially is this true
of the Bengali "babus," Or educated
Bengalis, who are foremost in the
"Swadeshi' movement. The Bengal
contemptuously declares the Briton,
is an idle, boastful talker, and neither
a fighter nor worker. My own in
uuiries developed the repeated assur-
ance, on the part of informed persons,
that the 'Swadeshi" movement has

least, extended to the villages. which
contain 80 per cent. of the native pop
ulation. Bearing in mind the nndSubt.
ed Christian revival which is to be
found in some parts of India, and the
potency of this new national move
ment, it is evident that mission work
here is bound to take an added inter
est during the next few years.
Making Men of oEreasts.
Whatever tends to put the stamina
of manhood into this people con-
tributes indirectly to the missionary
undertaking. For the first and last
factor of Indian life is the caste sys-
tenn, which dooms the majority of the
people to a lot esteemed lower than
that of the COW. If it were n,tt for
this caste system, with its un.'ridg-
able divisions, no foreign power could
long control this nation of three hun.
dred millions of people. This same
spirit OF "karma-kismet" fate, which
leads man to dull acceptance OF his
lot, rather than to cherishing OF the
spirit of selfimproYement and an1bi-
ton which marks the westerneF.
Keeps back the nation from develop.
mcnt, SO that its golden age is in the
past. The greatest need of India is
simply men.
AS Is well known, the converts or
the missionaries have been chiefly
from the lowest classes-those who
re below caste, in fact, the outcasts.
