Contagion has also been spread through milk, by reason of persons attending from sickness attend ing to the labor of tho dairy. -The kind of grass or fodder oo which tha cows feed al so give a peculiar flavor and quality to their milk. In addition to these facte, it has recently been demonstrated that the mot startling e.vequenoc may ensue f.O'tt the animals drinking stagnant water. '" Profejwr Iw, of Cornell University, has examined, with a microscope, milk of an unusual, repy appearance, and found it full of those fungi, or vegotablo organisms, that abound in stagnant water. On inqni ry, he fonnd that the cows from whieh it eame had only stagnant water to drink, , and further investigation revealed the fact that the blood of the animals teemed with these fungi, and that the cows wiira in a feverWi. unhealthy condition.
