To Prevent Grubs in the Head Of Shee

To Prevent Grubs in the Head Of Sheep.
A sure preventive of this trDuble-
some ailment is to set up low shelter
about four feet high, in a field to which
the flock has easy access at any time,
whether they feed in it or not. L may
be roughly built of small forked posts
covered with boughs. The intent is to
give the sheep shade in the heat of the
day, and protection from the attacks of
gad-fy which, all summer long, darts
about their noses, in which to lay their
eggs, rendering the unfortunate animals
almost frantic in their efforts to escape
them.
More than forty years ago the writer
used these shelters, and has never known
them to fail. To succeed in her instinct
i've efforts to place her eggs in the noses
of the sheep, the fly must rise to the
height of several feet, and dart down
upon the animal selected. The shelter
effectually prevents her doing so. The
animals will voluntarily run to it in the
heat of the day, when the attacks of the
fly are most violent, and will there find
peace, shade, shelter and complete i'm
munity from their tiny but terribly
annoying and irritating enemy.
The gad-fy probably does no more
injury to healthy sheep, than the bot
fly does to a healthy horse. But its
attempts to lay its eggs in the nose are
far more annoying, and in winter and
early spring when the animal is weakest
and most unable to withstand any I'M
necessary strain upon it the grub may be
an important factor. with other minor
causes, in producing death.
Such shelter will usually cost nothing
but few days work to the fockmaster.
1t undoubtedly will be worth many dol
lars to him in the course of year.

Death of an Eccentric Old Man

Amos Fish, one of the queerest men
in Albany, n. Y. died on Monday, leav-
ing an estate of fifty thousand dollars to
charitable institutions, and cutting off
his wife with dollar day. In describ-
ing his manner of life to a friend he
once said: !" buy shank of beef from
the butcher, which costs me ten cents.
My wife makes enough soup from this
to do us one meal, then the meat cut
from it afterwards makes two more
meals, or one days food for ten cents
| split the bone and get the marrow for
cooking purposes, and my wife finds
sufficient fuel in the bone itself to do
considerable cooking. Then in an iron
box | save the ashes, which / use for
manuring few plants that realize for
me six cents EACH" Yet when extra
taxes were put upon his property, he
very rarely, if ever, demanded more
rent from tenants ban what they had
been paying. He married widow who
had two children and little money.
He offered to borrow the money and to
allow her seven per cent. His wife ac-
cepted the proposition, and he was in
charge of the property for some time.
One day he forced settlement with her,
bringing in a bill for her own and the
children's board, and leaving her in debt

Continued from First PaGe.

the acts of the returning boards in Florida and
Louisiana; further that these same gentlemen when
they went upon the Commission were among the
most earnest in opposing such an inquiry. his Is
an accusation which is very easily made, because IL
does not admit of proof. The proceedings OF
the committee were secret, and no meinper
can reveal them without doing dishonoraDie
thing. An open and glaring act of bad fath on inc
part of the Democrats, such as preventing the COM
pleton of the count, could not DO excused or pal
lated by vague allegations of broken promises on
the part of two OF three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
such nature that they can neither be sustained noi
refuted Yet the freedom and frequency with WHICH
these charges are made naturally give rise 10 III
apprehension that the Democrats are preparing W
set them up as shield TO protect them from the IN
dgnation that will arise in case they behaVe uii-
fairly in the matter of the count.
There is no lack of speculation as to what the ne
pnbcans will do if the Sd of March comes and DEM
ocrato DELAYS have prevented the completion OF the
count. One project talked of is for the President OF
the Senate to finish the work of counting the Vote
under instructions from the Senate. 1t is proposed
to place such instructions on the ground that inc
Electoral law has been made abOrtiVe by inc lac,
tious and revolutionary action OF the HOUSE. anu
that no legislation which results IN defeat OF inc
constitutional requirement that the votes snail DC
counted is valid or binding. This plan goes upon
the assumption that an extra constitutional proceed
ing on the part of the House tending to produce
anarchy can properly be met and defeated by an
extra constitutional proceeding on the part OF the
Senate tending to peace and good order
The common view is, however. that it lies in the
power of the House. under the Electoral law to de-
feat declaration of the result i'll perfectly ieg'i
way by recesses from day to day, and that the sen
ate possesses no clearly lawful remedy. lhere
would be nothing for the Senate 10 do according 10
this theory except to choose new President DeIoro
the 4th of March to administer the Executive once
as n ocam tencps during an interregnnm OF year.
Who would be likely to be selected for this import
ant duty is an altogether open question: custom
requires that the presiding officers should be taken
from the members of the body, but there is no law
to prevent the Senate from going outside. IL might
elect Gov. Hayes and give him chance TO sho" ''o
country what kind of administration he could make
before the voters would be called upon again 10
make a choice between him and Mr. Iiiden. IL
might elect Gen. Grant the idea that 1t would Dc
best for him to hold over until new administration
could be regularly installed.
