On the Farm PREVENTION OF MILE FEVER. As the season is approaching when the majority of cows will freshen, a word of precaution for the prevention of so-called milk fever may be seasonable and ser• viceable. In the first place, it may be said that the common name of the ailment is a misnomer, as there is practically no fever ac- companying it. It is a partial paralysis, and is properly named parturient apoplexy, or parturi- ent paresis, and is generally the result of milking the udder empty too soon after calving. It has been noticed that, in the case of cows calving on the range, where the calf does the milking from the first, and takes but a little at a time for the first few days, milk fever is unknown. The same is true, as a rule, in the case of tho beef breeds, where the cows are allowed to nurse the calves. The content of the udder at calving is colostrum, a very , different' substance from normal milk, a substance which is intended by nature for a apeciflo purpose—the moving of the bowels of .the calf—and this, if suddenly removed, 081180s -, collapse of the tissues and glands, causing a para- lysis of the system, In proof of the correctness of this theory, it is only necessary ,to recall that, it, numerous cases, where the cows had been down, and unconscious for hours, and even days, the simple filling of the udder with elle has re- stored then- to health, without the help of any medicine. And in or- dinary cases a complete cure has been effected within two or three hours. Prevention is, of course, better than cure, and if the calf is taken from the cow, to be raised by hand, the udder should be only partially milked out for the first three days. It is better for the calf that it be allowed to suck for that time, but not necessary if the dam's new milk be given it in small quantity, and warm. There is they little danger of the udder be- ing spoiled by nature's provision for the occasion, the colostrum in contained. 11 will he noticed, A dyspeptic is a man who feels a a that, when in auch ease the udder profound hatred for the peoplolt is very large and caked, it is cold, who aro enjoying themselves. th and groes no symptoms o.f fever, and, by oiling and rubbing it, the Many a man's fortune can be es- s caked condition usually gives way timated lo round numbers, thus:—• in the course of a week or two, $000,000, b Furthermore, it is seldom, if ever, that milk fever occurs in the case of a caked udder. It rarely occurs in the case of a heifer with her first calf, and seldom in a cow younger than four years. The proper course, therefore, is to prevent the trouble by partial milking f,r three or four days. And if this precaution has been neglected, and the ailment odours, a_ bicycle pump, or a rubber -bulb syringo with a teat tube, disinfect- ed by immersion in boiling watt-, should be used to fill each quarter full of air, tying the teats with tape, and massaging the udder with the hands to force the air up into the system. A bicycle pump is the most effective, ae it does the work quickly and thoroughly. Do not allow dosing with medicine, as, when paralyzed, the cow cannot swallow, and the medicine will al- most surely to go into the windpipe and lungs, surely causing death. Httndreds of valuable cows have been killed by dosing under such circumstances. The use of pure oxygen or sterilized air.for filling the udder is doubtless safer than common air, but if' care is taken in disinfecting the milk tube, and gently placing it in the teat, there is very little risk of damage to the udder.—Farmer's Advocate. HENS MUST HAVE FRESH AIR. Fowls are obliged to throw off much of the body waste through the lungs. They do not sweat in the sense that do other animals, but, instead, breathe several times fas- ter than sweating animals when heated. To keep in good health a hen requires nearly seven tunes the amount of fresh air in proportion to its size as does a horse, and yet as a general thing you can throw your hat through the horse stable almost anywhere, but the hen house is to tight that the stanch when first opened up in the morning is enough to knock you down. None of us get too much fresh air, and none of us are apt to for- get that cold air is not necessarily pure. It isn't because it man is stingy that he keeps his promises. And the way of the modern pro- phet is to say "1 told you so" after the event has ocourred. 1 HEALTH '&d+io FOODS FO.it. THEGOUTY. Doctor Haig of London, who has attained eminence in the treatment of entaim diseases, came to his. ahoory, of the uric -acid eeusation cf many of so-called, neuralgiat rheumatic pains, gouty twinges and neadache as a result of observation on himself, During his student and early professional days he suf- fered horribly from periodical headaches, ole a 1 s losing dna ve• la eofon o g or two days out of everyweek in consequence there f. He thereof, lie x - mented .with all sorts of drugsandmodes of living, and finally dis- covered that the less meat ho ate the less headache he had, and he found further that the occurrence of headache was marked by a situ ultaneons excretion of a large amount of uria acid. From these two fade he conclud- ed that the headache was due to the presence of uric acid in the blood, and that ,the presence of uric acid in the blood was duo to meat -eating. From this beginning was developed a complete system of dietetics, having for its object the exclusion of ail uric -acid -contain ing foods, since, if uric acid is real- ly the cause of those troubles, no permanent relief can be expected so long as fresh quantities of the offending poison are thrown into the system every day. Man is naturally a fruit -and -ve- getable -Dating animal, he believes, and must return to his original diet as the only means to his sani- tary salvation. In other words, Doctor Haig is a vegetarian, but a peculiar kind of one, for he dons not allow all vegetable foods by any means. Beans, peas and other pulses are forbidden, since their protein is readily convertible into uric acid, and eapecially does he eschew tea and coffee, their alkaloidal ingre- dient, caffeine, being practically the same chemically as uric acid. The diet of one who would avoid becoming a subject to the uric -acid diathesis, or who would emanci- pate himself from the pains of the already existing condition, must therefore consist almost entirely of breadstnffs and cereals, puddings, fresh and dried fruits, nuts and the milk products. Water is the only beverage allowed. It is a meager diet, and must lee more or less mo- notonous: and moreover, it is nob always efficacious in curing perio- dical headaches and other supposed manifestations of the uric -acid diathesis. An occasional course of it, and a habitual more or less close approach to it are, no doubt, of great benefit to the general health,. but one must not forget that many of the ills credited to uric acid may bo a direct result of eye -strain, to be relieved more by glasses than by diet.—Youth's Companion. lete,ALTH HINTS. A handful of flour bound on a. cut will stop bleeding. For Hoarseness.—Take half dug of sweet milk, put a pinch of red pepper in it, heat it, and drink just as hot as you can stand it three or four times a day and just before retiring at night. Many women think that it is weak to take a nap in the daytime; on the contrary, it is often a sign of weakness if they do not. A nap in the afternoon refreshes one for the time being, because of the com- plete relaxation it affords, and it also helps in the retaining of good looks, good health and good dis- position. Thera is nothing that so soon restores the tired nerves as a restful sleep. Get in the habit of giving up a few minutes at least each day to taking a nap, and you may find the necessity of tonics done away with. Olive oil, by acting on the liver, helps to clear the skin, but the person trying ib must also diet. Nothing fried should be eaten; no pastry; no rich ;gravies or greasy 5 nips, If this diet is strictly ful- lowed, with plenty of fresh and stewed fruits, a teaspoonful of the oil taken half an hour before break- fast and once half an hour after the latest meal every- day, for a year, will relieve the liver of its inacti- vitt' and so clear the skin. It is quite useless to expect results from taking olive oil in e few weeks or even months; where there is a disposition to liver sluggishness olive oil should be a regular article of diet; it should be taken on let- thee, on spinach, on okra, on every- thing in the way of a salad ; it its hardly possible to use it too freely.
