Prompt Attention Will Often Prevent Serious Trouble With Fresh Cow Too little attention is paid to the external' and physical conditions of the milk cow, as a general rule frequently a cow's usefulness may be Impaired and sometimes destroyed by Neglecting certain little things which Jthe milker may do to protect both the tow and the milk. CONGESTION OF THE UDDER In heavy milkers, before and just after calving, it is the rule that the jnammary gland is enlarged, hot tense and tender, and that a sl'ight exuda ' tion or pasty swelling extends for ward from the glad on the lower sur Jace of the abdomen. ' This physiological' congeestion is looked upon as a matter of course, and disappears in two or three days vhen the secretion of milk has been fully established. ' This breaking up of the bag may be greatly hastened by the sicking of a hungry calf and the kneading it igives the udder with itts nose; by Stripping he gfands clean thrice daily, and by active rubbing at each milking jvith- the palm of the hand, with or Jwithout, lard, or better, with cam phorated ointment. The congestion may be at times aggravated by standing in a draft or Sold air or by neglect to milk for an entire day or more (over- stocking, Jieftintr) with the view of making a great show of udder for the purpose iof sale. In such cases the surface of the bag pits on pressure, and the milk has a reddish tinge or even streaks bf blood, or it is partially or fully clotted and is drawn with difficulty, mixed, it may be, with a yellowish serum (whey) which has separated Irom the casein. This should be treated like the above, though it may sometimes demand fomenations with warm water to ward off inflammation, and it may be week before the nat ural condition of the gland is restored.

General Wood's Appeal As Chairman of a Special Committee of representative men and women of the country, charged with placing be fore the American people the desperate need f two and a half million Arme nians, the remnant of the oldest Chris tian nation, whose sufferings through sixteen centuries seem to have brought them no nearer peace, liberty or se curlty, I beg your personal co-opera tion and influence to forward an ap peal for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to enable the Near East Relief to go on with its work of mercy. Over one hundred thousand little children who have been kept alive by American generosity for the past three years are absolutely dependent upon the support which America gives them through the Near East Relief. I feel that however many and how ever worthy the other appeals which are being made to the great heart of America these days may be, this cry from the little children of the land where Christ gave his life for man kind cannot remain unanswered.

The person who assumes these cov erings must be careful not to come in contact with unythlng except the floor. Providing he follow this instruction he can not possibly be Injured by the lightning in any way. The explanation is simple enough. The electric fluid before It can pass In to a human being or animal must first come in contact with the earth. Its passage from the earth to the wearer of the rnbbers in, of course, stopped by the soles of the latter. . So next time a storm is brewing hurry up and get out your rubbers.
