(Continued  from  page  1182) 
Vermont  villages  have  preserved  the  old- 
fashioned  town  common  or  "green.”  At 
Enosburg  Falls  a  beautiful  space  has 
been  left  in  the  center  of  the  town. 
Houses  are  built  around  it  and  the  park 
is  well  kept,  with  lawns,  flowers,  trees 
and  a  fountain.  I  have  seen  some  towns 
where  such  open  spaces  were  used  for 
<1  limping  ashes  or  tin  cans,  but  iu  this 
Vermont  town  thei-e  was  cool,  restful 
shade,  arid  it  is  hard  to  estimate  the 
value  of  the  civic  pride  which  this  gives. 
In  the  forenoon  there  was  an  exhibit  of 
live  stock,  with  lectures  and  exhibition  of 
stock  judging.  In  the  afternoon  the 
crowd  gathered  under  t he  shade  of  great 
trees  for  the  customary  “oratory.”  I 
wish  you  could  have  seen  that  great  gath¬ 
ering  of  fine  farm  people.  There  was  no 
big  manufacturing  town  within  150  miles 
— just  the  open  country  around  US  rrlling 
back  through  clean,  wind-swept  valleys 
with  the  big  hills  looking  solemnly  dowu 
upon  us.  Itigbt  in  front  of  the  platform 
sat  a  fine  old  man,  white-haired  but 
erect  and  firm — he  made  you  think  of  a 
pioneer  until  you  remembered  that  the 
Vermont  pioneers  would  have  to  be  150 
years  old  to  show  up  today.  The  old 
man  held  a  little  child — pink  and  rosy 
with  health,  and  they  both  cheered  and 
clapped  their  hands  when  the  double 
quartette  of  Grangers  sang  these  old- 
fashioned  songs.  These  singers  wore  all 
men  of  middle  age  or  past.  They  had 
pulled  off  their  coats  and  stood  grouped 
on  the  stage  while  the  piano  and  the 
violin  played  the  tune.  Then  with  the

A  hush  fell  over  the  crowd  as  they 
sang.  The  old  man  and  the  child — the 
past  und  the  future — sat.  listening  with 
shining  eyes.  The  Hope  Farm  man  was 
thinking  of  days  long  ago  when  that  old 
song  was  sung  around  the  stove  in  New 
England  sitting-rooms.  Out  of  those  who 
sang  there  would  not  be  one  who  bad  not 
given  husband,  or  father,  or  lover,  or 
brother  in  order  that  the  song  might  be 
true!  They  knew  it  would  be  true  just 
as  long  as  the  old  home  spirit  could  be 
kept  alive,  llow  they  did  cheer — those 
Vermont  mm  and  women — bow  they  did 
make  those  middle-aged  singers  come 
back  with  the  growling  bass  and  the 
soaring  tenor  to  sing  again.  There  was 
no  “oratory”  that  day  to  match  the  song 
of  “a  thousand  years  1”  u.  w.  c.

Undeveloped  Udder 
I  have  a  heifer  that  came  in  March  26 ; 
she  will  be  three  years  old  June  1.  Her 
two  rear  teats  are  large  and  give  lots  of 
milk,  but  the  two  forward  ones  give  only 
a  very  little.  The  calf  seems  to  favor  the 
rear  teats.  Will  the  forward  teats  come 
along  all  right  after  a  while,  or  can  some¬ 
thing  be  done  to  bring  about  an  even  de¬ 
velopment  of  the  bag?  The  teats  seem 
to  be  as  large  as  others,  but  udder  does 
not  seem  to  hang  down  as  much  in  front. 
New  York.  R.  H.  H. 
We  fear  that  the  condition  described 
will  prove  permanent  and  it  may  have 
been  caused  by  an  unnoticed  attack  of 
garget.  A  common  cause  of  such  condi¬ 
tions  is  sucking  of  the  udder  by  another 
calf  when  calves  are  penned  together  and 
fed  on  milk.  Bitch  a  habit  should  be  ab¬ 
solutely  prevented.  Massage  and  milk  the 
udder  three  times  a  day  and  some  im¬ 
provement  may  result.  A.  s.  A. 
Calf  Dysentery 
I  am  losing  valuable  calves  with  scours 
when  they  are  from  two  to  four  days  old. 
usually  taken  sick  after  they  have  sucked 
once  or  twice  and  then  they  die  in  two 
or  three  days  from  birth.  Their  eyes 
sink  badly  and  they  get  cold  and  tvet 
around  mouth.  Is  there  any  remedy  to 
prevent  this  trouble?  c.  A.  J. 
New  York. 
This  is  a  fatal  infectious  germ  disease 
born  iu  the  calf  or  contracted  by  way  of 
the  mouth  or  the  stump  of  the  navel  after 
birth.  It  does  not  respond  successfully 
to  drugs  but  may  be  prevented  by  im¬ 
munizing  the  new  born  calf  with  a  poly¬ 
valent  serum  or  bacteria.  Any  graduate 
veterinarian  can  obtain  and  use  such 
biologcal  products.  Also  cleanse,  disin¬ 
fect  and  whitewash  the  stable  and  have  it 
well  lighted  and  ventilated.  At  birth  sat¬ 
urate  the  stump  of  the  calf's  navel  with 
tincture  of  iodine  and  then  dust  with 
slaked  lime  daily.  Also  wash  the  cow’s 
udder  with  a  two  per  cent,  solution  of 
coal  tar  disinfectant  before  the  calf  sucks 
for  the  first,  time  and  then  once  daily  for 
10  days  if  the  calf  is  allowed  to  suck.
