IS Sheep Rot"

For some time a great mortality has
prevailed among sheep, and the de-
struction reported is something appal-
ling. The malady is popularity known
by very old Saxon name, "rot," and
is in reality due to the presence in the
liver and hepatic canals of numbers of
the DistOmG hepdticun, trematOde
entozoon, as well as the DistOma iance0-
iatunl, also a member of the same order.
These entozoa, from their resemblance
to the fish called " flukes." have re-
ceived the same name, and have a par
ticular prediction for the hillary
apparatus, whose function they more or
less destroy, and thus lead to the slow
death of the sheep or other animals
they may infest. After wet seasons,
animals which have been pastured on
tainted land are certain to suffer, from
their having iugested with the heritage
the ova of the Distoma. Pastures are
tainted by Sc fiuke' infested sheep,
which pass the mature worms or their
ova with the f;eces, and these lodge on
or are washed into the ground. The
worms, of course, die, and the ova with
in them are liberated; and these, to-
gether with the free ova, appear to
have not only a strong vital resistance
to meteorological alterations, but also
the good fortune to find a ready and
accentable intermediary host in the

SO-Called Founder.

In the beginning of the disease re-
move the shoes, and rasp down the
heels and edges around the hoof, so
that the bearing of the animals weight
comes entirely on the sole and frog;
then place the forefeet in tub of warm
water during half an hour, and repeat
this three or four times daily during
two days; thereafter apply hogs lard
or some softening ointment to the feet
daily. Leave the animal without shoes
in a roomy box stall or comfortable
shed, with plenty of bedding. To keep
such an animal tied up in a stall with
tionable; he must have liberty to fire.
quently change his position, which can
not be afforded in single stall.
AS soon as the shoes have been re-
moved and the feet pared as directed,
the horse should be given n laxative
dose of medicine; for which purpose
dissolve from one to one and 4 half
pounds of Glauber's salts in quart of
hot water. adding to the solution an
ounce of ground ginger, and give the
whole in one dose; then give every
hour, during six hours, ten to fifteen
drops of tincture of aconite; afterward,
during two or three days, give, MORN
ing, noon and evening, each time, four
ounces of solution of acetate of am
monia, with an ounce of sweet spirit of
inter, in a half pint of cold water. If,
after three or four days, much pain and
tenderness should remain, a fly blister
may be applied round the coronet, to a
space of three fingers width. The
horse should be tied SO as to prevent his
interfering with the blister (by rubbing
it with his mouth), during six hours
after the application of the blister.
From the beginning he should be
kept quiet, in comfortable, well VEN
tilated place, and be well blanketed to
excite perspiration. The food, which
should only be given IN limited quantity,
should be OF a loosening nature, such
as a mixture of steamed oats. bran and
flaxseed meal, together with only very
little hay, which should not be timothy.
When the urgent symptoms have dis
appeared, the horse should be given
liberty in the barnyard during day
time, when weather permits, and dur
ing summer be placed on PASTURE

Miss Mary Houser, of Fort Wayne,
who recently eloped with a carpet-layer,
whom she had seen for the first time but
a few hours previously, has returned to
her fathers home, having acquired an
experience which should serve a life
time. She went to St. Louis with her
lover, where they were married. After
a honeymoon lasting three or four days,
the husband, sending his confiding vic
tim from their boarding house on a
fictitious errand, pocketed her jewelry
and what little money she had, and de-
parted, leaving no indication of his des-
tination. The poor girl had to pawn
her remaining trinkets to obtain money
to return home.

Western TOrnadOs.

THAT those people who have never
experienced or witnessed the effects of a
genuine Western tornado have a very
poor idea of its force and character, ia
witnessed by the fact that SO well in
formed a journal as the New York
Tribune suggests that buildings could
doubtless be erected strong enough to
withstand these fearful wind tempests."
The fact is that the force developed by
these Western cyclones is utterly ire
sistible. "When bOulders weighing
hundreds of pounds,' says the St. Louis
Republican, "can be literally snatched
out of the ground, where they have lain
for unnumbered centuries, and flung
into the air as if projected from a cata-
putt, it is hardly worth while talking
about fortifying against the mysterious
enemy" Take the recent Marshfield
cyclone for instance; its force was in
calculable and had stone building with
walls three feet thick and bolted with
iron stood in the way, it would have
gone down like a house of cards. 1t has
been often enough demonstrated that
the safest place of refuge from the fury
of one of these storms is the celler OF a
frame house, for frame houses are usu-
ally carried off bodily, leaving the in
mates of the cellar unframed, while
brick houses totter and fall, the inmates
of the cellar being crushed and buried
in the debris. The prevalent idea is
that the force of a cyclone is gained by
sweeping over the prairies, and that
their force is due to nothing but the
wind. This, according to people who
have both witnessed and experienced
them, is not a correct idea, for their eff
fects can be accounted for only on the
theory that electricity has much to do
with them. One man who has had a
somewhat extensive acquaintance with
Missouri and Kansas cyclones, says:
"They strike as suddenly as the light
ming, and the vegetation is often
scorched and withered as though fire
had passed over it. "-BoSton Post.

The preacher was talking to the
Sunday-school about the power of reli-
gion, and the devotion of the jealous to
the cause and their attendance upon the
services. Finally he asked if there was
any thing to which people would 60

Keep and Utilize the Best.

If any one is entitled to the best it is
the farmer. He should not only keep
the breed from the best domestic ami
mails, but he ought to retain and use
the choicest of everything produced on
the farm. The man who sells the best
of his produce, and lives on what is in
ferior, is neither wise nor economical.
1t is said that the late Edwin Hammond,
of Middlebury, Vt, the noted sheep
breeder, would let no man Gull from his
flock. His best sheep he never sold.
fyou get a good thing, keep it, get the
good of it, improve it, multiply it, make
it a part of home, part of life. A tree
takes the deepest root in the richest,
deepest soil. A mans life consists in
what he uses and enjoys and takes up
into himself. A man is worth what he
spends and what he does, rather than
what he locks up Christian at Work.

An anecdote is told of a physici

An anecdote is told of a physician
who was called to a foreign family to
prescribe for case of incipient con-
sumption. He gave them a prescrip-
ton for pills, and wrote the direction:
"One pill to be taken three times day,
in any convenient vehicle" The family
looked in the dictionary to get at the
meaning of the prescription. They got
on well until they got to the word We
hicle. They found "cart, wagon, car
rage, buggy, wheelborrow." After
grave consideration they came to the
conclusion that the doctor meant the
patient should ride out, and while in
the vehicle he should take the pill. He
followed the advice to the letter, and in
u few weeks the fresh air and exercise
secured the advantage which otherwise
might not have come.
