back, 1 could see the bright stars
tw'i'nk'leig through the branches ov-
erhead, They seemed much
brighter and nearer to the 'earth
than they do farther south, and
I felt as if hea'c°en, too must be
much nearer. 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. I beleir'e

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.

!Infeating Intiatinnation of the Udder.
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

spread throughout the State of New

and northward, till it finally reached
California in 1884. In Canada it was
associated with the Wheat _Midge dur-

Bureau of Agriculture in .Toronto 'of-
fered prizes for the best essays on
.the insect enemies and diseases et
the wheat plant. The highest award
was made to Prof. H. Y. Hind, of
'Trinity College, Toronto, and his
essay was officially published in 1851
and widely distributed among the
farmers of this Province. The book
