"While the exact nature and cause
of the disease are not known it is at
tributed to the eating of irritating,
acrid, astringent or resinous plants
or drinking water rich in decompos-
ing vegetable material and containing
alkaline salts, particularly nltrates,
and the presence in the water and
the food of ptomaines of bacterial
growth. 1t closely resembles dis
ease of cattle known as baematnria
vesicalis and reported as occurring in
Germany, France, Italy aud Belgium.
Some have believed this disease to be
one of piroIlasmosis, that is, con
dltion similar to that observed in
Texas or tick fever in which the red
blood corpuscles are destroyed before
they are excreted through the kidneys.
On the other hand this theory is not
borne out by the facts that in red
water there is observed unaltered
blood and even clots in the urine.
Moreover an examination of LESSONS
in the bladder reveals extensive and
chronic Inflammation which rather
indicates that the condition is due to
some irritant and as certain plants
contain poisonous principles which
when eliminated by the kidneys cause
haematuria or bloody urine it is pos
sible that the ingestion of some such
plants may be the cause of this con-
dition. Until the cause of this dis
ease can be determined it will be ad
visable to guard cattle from low pas
turage or hay containing noxious
weeds. -

Answer-It is hard to determine
the cause of the peculiar taste and
odor of this milk. 1t is doubtful that
it is due to bacteria that gain en-
trance to the milk from the utensils
or the barn air, since extra precau-
tions are taken to exclude these. 1t
may be caused by diseased condi-
ton of the udder, or the COW, and
germs is in the milk when it is drawn
Milk of COWS that are we'll along in
the lactation period may have a
peculiar taste, usually bitter, due to
a change in the ash constituents of
the milk in which the lime salts are
largely replaced by salts OF sodium.
We are inclined to think that this eX-
plains this case. However, we are
unable to say positively that this is
the case. 1t would be we'll to make
a change of feed and at the same time
take further precautions as regards
contamination Air the stable out

More PrOfits-Better Living.

The Institute department of the
Washington State College is holding
one week Dairying and Home
Economics school at Lynden, Wash.
This is the result of requests of the
people in and around Lynden to bring
the college to them rather than have
them take a course at Pullman and is
a good method of getting the instruc
ton even though it must necessarily
be brief. The school began on the
18th and will hold until the 10Th of
December. The subjects touched
upon are: Principles of Breeding,
Feeding the Dairy Cow, Care of
Milk and Disposal of by Products.
Silos and Silage, Soils, Crops and
Management. The Home Economics
work consists of lectures on Home
Sanitation, Labor Saving Devices,
Infant Feeding and Milk as Food.
Those who take the work in Dairying
are given actual practice in testing
milk and cream and in judging dairy
COWS. Raising chickens and hogs is
also considered and these are taken
up from the standpoint of adjuncts
to Dairying. The women are given
practice in preparing the simple feeds
and some of the labor saving devices
are tried out.
SIX WEEKS SCHOOL AT
PULLMAN.
The six weeks short course offered
by the State College will begin Jan
uary 9Th. Anyone wishing informa-
ton about the various lines of in
struction should write to the Registrar
of the College at Pullman. ALI sub
jects that pertain to the farm and
dairy are taught.
