It may not perhaps be generally known that stagnant water causes abortion in cattle, horses, &c. The Editor of the North British Agriculturist, answering a correspondent, says :—" We are glad to have been able to afford you a clue to some of the causes which have produced losses amongst your cows. Stagnant or foul water is injurious to all animals. It pauses blood poisoning, and thus leads to many febrile complaints. It brings on abortion in other animals as well as in pows. Two winters ago, three valuable mares, belonging to careless, untidy farmer, slipped their colts shortly after phristmas. These mares had been tolerbly well kept, and not too hardly wrought, biat they had been watered for several weeks at a pool by the side of which a large pianure heap had been foolishly placed, and into which the colored organic matters freely found their way. Some ewes watered from the same pool cast their Jambs; whilst,another lot of ewes kept two fields dLi-ant, managed in exactly the pamb way, but enjoying a purer supply of water, carried their lambs to* full period. Since better care has been taken to prevent the water supply being contaminated by the manure heap, neither mares nor ewes h §ve 6Usered from abortion. Similar cases have doubtless occurred in the experience of many'of our
