the cow ; the cow is all right and a won¬ 
derful dairy animal, but just now raw 
cow’s milk is rather of an unsafe qual¬ 
ity unless pasteurized. The goat is also 
a wonderful animal for producing good 
wholesome milk which does not have to 
be pasteurized to render it safe to use. 
In some cities in New England at least 
it is illegal to offer cow’s milk for sale 
which has not. been pasteurized. 
In my own family I have a member 
who was badly afflicted with asthma, had 
much difficulty in breathing night and 
day, and has been a great sufferer with 
the disease since a young man ; the doc¬ 
tors could do very little to relieve him 
even in acute attacks. About one year 
ago he came to live in my family, and 
being naturally fond of animals spent 
considerable time round my goat pen 
and began drinking the milk. He gained 
in strength and weight and soon was able 
to rest, more comfortably at night; he 
has made it a custom to drink a glass of 
goat milk before retiring and now is 
able to sleep all night without the slight¬ 
est discomfort, and says he seems en¬ 
tirely free from the annoyance, and this 
is the only remedy he has used. 
K. L. E. 
Inoculating Silage Against 
Rot 
I wrote to the Massachusetts Agricul¬ 
tural College regarding methods of in¬ 
oculating silage, and in their reply they 
state that they know of no method of 
inoculating silage to prevent rot. If my 
memory does not fail me, I believe that 
I read an article in The R. N.-Y. re¬ 
garding inoculation of silage to prevent 
rot. Am I in error? If not where could 
I procure enough serum to inoculate one 
85-ton and one 50-ton silo? p. L. B. 
Certainly this method is used. We 
have explained it several times. There 
is a commercial inoculant used in the 
silo much on the same principle as the 
material used for inoculating clover or 
other legume seeds. Some farmers use 
soured milk or buttermilk with good re¬ 
sults. We believe the method will pay 
as well as that of inoculating seed.
