TIE Sheep Disease.
Editors indicator:

Editors indicator:
The disease that has killed so many
sheep this winter is described in Cham
ber's Information for the People, Vol. l,
page 625.
1t is called Trembling or Looping ILL.,
The animal sometimes leaps from the
ground and falls down dead, but more gen
orally it is seized with trembling loses
the power of its legs, and lies On it's side,
grinding its teeth, and moving its limbs
with violence. The appearance on d-ssec-
ton are very uniform; great congestio OF
blood in the liver and lungs and particu-
larry the heart, which is Invariably gorged
with dark blood; and the brain is also
sometimes congested. The whole flesh OF
the budy is as white as II the animal hau
been killed by bleeding.
These appearances and various expert
ments led the writer to view the disease
| as lost lance in the clrculatlon; tne
| cold winds acting on the surface OF the
| animal drives the blood from the surface,
congests the lungs and liver, and over
| powers the action Of the heart with rush
Of dark venous blood. The numbness OF
the limbs, caused by the heart being una
bic to send the circulation to the extreme
ties, has caused some to regard tne as
| ease as a kind of palsy, of course the treat
ment Would be to TEST, re the balance Of
the circulation.
| / wrote TO d veterinary surgeon IN NE"
| York and described the way my sheep were
| affected, he says your sheep are afillcteo
| with sanguinous apOplexy, caused Dy SUD-
| den confinement and too sudden change
of food, from green food to dry food. DO
nestle remedies will avail you nothing
efficacious nor give you the least satlsfac-
ton.
I lost 9 sheep out of flock of 100. I
| tried everything that could think Of that
j I thought would be OF service and they al
| died that took sick. had my sheep IN
| two lots about 60 III each; one lot L had
| during the snow storm under the barn ana
fed them fodder and hay, the others L
had in a lot attach ed to the end OF the barn
with d good shelter, these [ fed bran twice
day and very little fodder and none OF
this lot took sick, they got no water at all
but they ate as much snow as they wan
| ted [ sailed them once week.
I don't think sheep would ever take this
disease If they could run IN the fields and
get little grass and rave plenty OF exer
else, but of course, during such winter
as we have had for the last two months
we are compelled to oihne our sheep OF
lose all the young lambs.
Some say you must water your sheep
once or twice a day. Well to do this you
would have to have spring water as tht
creeks during that bad weather were fro
zen UP tignt-the idea of cutting off ice
enough to water 120 head of sheep twice
day and the thermometer down TO 10 Or l.
| degrees below zero! [ think the proper
| course would be when we have such snow
storm as to be compelled to confine oul
! sheep, to feed bran and meal mixed, say
one-thiId meal, ard feed very little fodder
or hay until you can let your sheep take
plenty of exercise.
Respectfully Yours.

An elegant costume recently designed
for Nine. Gerster, Was made of rich Grim
son brocade combined with velvet to cor
respond, after the Telicite model. The
broad tram rounded on the corners was OF
velvet, and above was second train of
the brocade plated in fan shapes but slash
ed open and laced down the middle. Two
scarfs of brocade extended from the cor
sage and crossing each other in front were
attached in large bow on the right side
of the skirt. The corsage was low, with
out sleeves, pointed back and front. laced
up behind and finished with plastrou of
shirred satin in front. Around the neck,
armholes, plastrol and scarfs was a superb
embroidered band. This would serve as a
model for any handsome materials. A
street. dress prepared for Zelda Seguin was
made from the Almeda design, in bronze
satin and plaid. A long redingote, tight
fitting, opening back in front and filled in
at the back with plaits headed by wide
sash of the plaid, fell over skirt so arran
ged as to produce the effect of long vest
in front and trimmed around the lower
edge with pl things. Two scarf draperies
of plaid were drawn across the front of the
skirt, which otherwise was composed of
satin. The zedingote was of satin.
