Tuberculosis and Milk. -Bang,of Copen toav has expressed the opinion that milk taken from a tubercular cow is_ probably a fruitful cause of tuberculosis -in children. He declares that tuberculosis of tho udder of milch cowsis by no means a rare attec tion, and is characterised by diffused, pain less swelling of one, rarely of two, portions oftheudder, proceeding without any con stitutional implication. Boiling, he found, would destroy the bacillus, hence it is but prudent to resort to this process in every sdub.tfnl sample of milk. This is the tile'asant ltttla disease some lunatics, pro pose to iicclimatize in Now Zealand to get rid pf tho rabbits. Wouldn't it be as well to„Mrt come mad dogs and make them biteVa few rabbits ? By thU moans we migut establish .hydrophobia amongst tEem, and if a terrier ;or two got bitten by tiabbiiiitifteriiig from rabies and thus the diseasebccamoostablishod in tho colony— iS it couldrr t be helped ; the rabbits mK5t be got rid of at all hazards.. .

a cow for eight or ten years and then being obliged to sell her. for. beet, in order to come out whole, looks to me like very poor business. We don't need any "genera purpose " cows ; aim at the ball's eye, and not at the whole target. Decide upon what you want-beef, mifk or butter—and then breed for that special purpose. Have a definite purpose and a steady aim.
