The almost per- fect silence of the night was only intensified by the low, softly corn- piaining voice of a bird akin to the nighthawk, repeating, "WHIP - POOR -WILL, • Whip -poor -will, whip-poor+-�+oill," in a gradual di- muendo r&at'il it seems to die faint- ly away in the disatnce.

W e slept well but each of 'us woke up frequently in order to turn over and present another Of his anatomy. to some annoying lump underneath. About 'two after midnight the two of us Who 'had no fur overcoats got up, tramped a mile and went through other exercises to get rid of the chill. Then we went to bed a- gain. When there was light enough to; see we were up and off again far home. North of Braeebridge we; saw a Ford at a railway crossing' lying beside the track in a mang- led condition and all but nut in two. On reaching town the news had just spread that three comm- ercial travellers had failed to beat the train. Two were badly bru- ised and cut 'while the third hadn't a mark but was userehd into the next world with a broken necle. Opposite to a pretty little sch- ool beside a small church, and no other buildings in sight, we made a fire of hemlock and pine knots upon some rocks, ate breakfast, performed our morning o'loligatoins and went on again. Without noting anything of special 'interest on the rest of our journey, we reached the town of Hanover in time for supper, rather sooner than we had expected. Though we met with many dif- ficulties we had no ztdventures wh- ich nowadays, are eat•'of-date an- yway, and the fen 'that do hap- pen usually cause a smile on the We ,r 'd a nm ,ed into aa•ron;, side.

What are the means of prevention? Those that have been tried out are applicable. only to small and rather limited areas, such as gardens, vineyards and orchards.

Mammals or inflammation of the ;Udder is a common disease in cows, Mt is often noticed in a somewhat slight degree at and following par- turition, in which cases it is due to Elle lacteal• apparatus taking on in-, creased actions, and will usually gradually disappear without causing marked alterations in the normal !quality of the milk, and without spe- cial treatment. Causes.—Infamuyation of the ud- der, other than that form above men- tioned, is caused by irregular milk- ing, exposure to cold and dampness, wounds, bruises, rough or careless handling, during milking, etc., anti in many cases appears without well marked cause. • Symptoms,—One or more quarters 'of the udder become swollen, hard and tender. The patient becomes dull, appetite lessened and temperature in- creased. In well•rnarked eases the pa- tient progresses with a straddling gait behind, in an endeavor to prevent pressure on the udder by the legs.] The quality of the milk is more or less altered. In most cases .curdled milk and a thin fluid resembling whey appears when the teats are drawn. In some cases a portion 0± curdled milk becomes lodged In the exilic duct and is somewhat hard to remove. In some ceees clotted bleo.d also appears.' The general health .of the patient is more or less interfered with, accord- ing to i :te severity .of the attack, Cone, itutional treatment .consists in keep,ag the patient as comfortable as pos•;i ble, preferably in a roomy, well -beaded box stall. .A brisk pur- gative of one to two lbs. epsom salt, one-half to anedraan of gambage and one to two ounces -of ,ginger .(accord- ing to the size of patient) dissolved in a quart of warm. water :should be given, and followed up with four to six drams of nitrate et potassium twice daily for three days. The pa- tient should be fed food not particu- larly inclined to cause milk produc- tion until the inflammation 4s allayed. Local treatment consists in apply- ing heat to the udder, .either by keep- ing hot poultices to It -or by long con- tinued and frequently repeated-batlt- iug with hot water, Poultices can be applied by using an inch of cloth or canvas, With boles cut for the protru- sion of the teats and fastening it by strings or straps over the hips and locus. The fluid s'..auld be•.drawn front each quarter four or five :times daily and after each walking the udder should be well massaged and rubbed with camphorated .0i1. Where:this oil cannot be readily .obtained its sub- stitution by goose grease gives goad results.—J. huge iLeed, tGl, .a1. •O dal lege, Guelph.
