CHAMBERS.

Because Of the recent appearance
among horses of the dread and invari-
ably fatal disease known as CHAMBERS,
and its alarming prevalence in some
parts of the country, something about
its nature and the means for prevent
ing contagiou may prove profitable.
A well known and thoroughly inform
ed veterinary surgeon was interviewed
by reporter Of the Chicago Times
onfthis subject. He said: if
"Of all diseases among live stock,
this peculiar form of CHAMBERS is the
most 10 be dreaded. When an animal
is afflicted with il there is absolutely
no hope Of recovery, and the only
thing TO be done is 10 limit 1t to the
one patient if possible. This Is rarely,
il ever, possible, however, for with
great rapidly the whole stable be-
comes infected, even 10 the building,
harness aud litter. In fact, everything
In the barn becomes pregnant with
the germs of the disease, and il Is al
most impossible TO eradicate them.
There is only one sure way known to
the profession, and that is TO destroy
all the horse, land tlen bsra the STA
BILE with its entire contents. The at
PENDANTS upon such cases very fire.
quently contract contagion, and It OPP
crates with ms deadly effect upon
man as upon horse. BY the most
systemmaiic disinfection, however, a
man may, with comparative safety,
treat cases of CHAMBERS. lie must make
an absolute change of clothing upon
leaving the stable, and take thorough
bath, IL he would not spread the dis
temper or contract il himself"
show may the disease he detected
In lis primary stages?"
"ln the earlier stages the symptoms
are Similar TO those OF ordinary die
temper, and IL is very apt to be mis-
taken Cor that disease, even by exper-
fenced veterinary surgeons. Within
a few days, however, the changes are
very pronounced. The glands of the
throat become swollen, and malignant
eating ulcers form in the nostrils. In
a short time dropsical swelling of
the joints appears, attended by ulcer
stions on the lymphatics of the skin.
The lungs finally become infectesl, fol-
lowed by distressing cough, and be-
fore long the animal dies"
"How long has The disease been
known 10 exist?"
Ser many years, but it appears
periodically. During the war cavalry
horses were killed by the scores by
glanders and Il was no unusual occur
renee for the horses of an entire regi-
ment TO be destroyed before the con.
tsgion couh be checkedr 4ll III /
"Does the disease ever originate
spontaneously
ssh Is damned by some thatit does
appear without specific coniagion, but
think such an idea is erroneous. 1
never heard Of rase that originated
without direct contact with n previous
case. To prevent contagion too much
Importance cannot be attached TO
most rigid disinfection. IL should be
be even more cxacting than in s,aall-
pox." IL Or
"Do you think the disease is liable
10 extend beyond the districts at pres
cnt infected?"
"That win depend entirely upon the
csre that IL ekesnised By the people h
those districts. II is so easily trans

The National Lire Stock Journal
says: "The advantage of grinding the
cob and corn together is not altogether
in the nutriment Of the cob, but be-
cause the cob being coarser and a
spongy material, gives bulk, and di-
vides and separates the fine meal, so
to allow a free circulation Of the gas
trio juice through the mass in the
stomach. Corn meal, when wet with
plastic doagh, is very solid, and not
easily penetrated by any liquid; and
when pigs are fed wholly on corn meal
they often suffer with fever in the
stomach, because the meal lies there
too long undigested."

A correspondent. of the Country
Gentleman says: 81 believe that il is
eminently proper TO trust TO the ami
maPs instructive appetite for salt. We
certainly have no means of knowing
the amount of salt that the animal
would require, but we know that the
quantity they get in their natural
state is very small, being only that
which is held chemically in grasses,
and what they obtain Mt their 'licks.'
When we mix it with their food, they
are compelled to eat the salt whether
they require it or not. When they do
not require it, there will be more or
less damage done to the digestive
functions. ] have observed much, and
have had great deal of experience in
sailing animals, but have never seen
the slightest injury from allowing
them free access TO salt once every
twenty hours, provided they have
not been deprived of il previously, as
in that case they may take too much"

The IO,cd Homestead says that sun
flower seed are the best egg producing
food known for poultry. II asserts
that every poultry raiser who tries it
will find that this seed is also the best
food known for CLOSING the plumage
of fowls, and that it Is almost indis-
pensablc to those who want to fit their
birds for exhibition to the best advan-
tage. The Russian sunfiower is easily
raised, requires very little care, and
can be grown in fence corners or
other places difficult TO cultivate. It's
production of seed is immense, yield
ing at the rate Of one hundred bushels
to the acre. II should be planted in
hills four feet apart, any time from
the 10th of May 10 the LIST of July.
Three quarts Of seed will plant an acre.

REPORT or TERRITORIAL GRAND JuRY.
second Judicial District, Dec. Term. 1883

In the District Court Of the Second Judicial
District Of Montana Territory, In and for
Deer Lodge County.
To the Hon. Judge Of said Court:
We, the Grand Jury, impanneled at the
Decsmber term, A. d. 1883, Of said court,
would respectfully report
We have concluded our labors, having
aftAr full investigation found and presented
fourteen indictments for various ofenses.
We have examined Sc. Joseph Hospital,
having In charge the sick and INDECENT Of this
county, and found everything In excellent
condition. The most scrupulous cleanliness
prevails; tho food and bedding provided are
Of the best, and the inmates express entire
sstisfactlon with their care and treatment.
We have also examined the county jail. We
found IL clesnly and well kept, and every pre-
caution taken for the safe keeping Of those
of the prisoners for whom close confinement
has been deemed necessary. We think the
security Of the jail would be greatly increas-
ed, and that there would be saving Of ex-
pense, If the outer windows VI the apart
barred. The attention Of the County Com
missioners IL especially called 10 this.
We reiterate and emphasize the suggestion
of so many preceding grand jurles, that ex-
amining courts should be more careful and
considerate In binding over parties aud recog.
MIXING witnesses to appear before the grand
jury In trivial cases which should be finally
disposed Of at the first hearing. At this
present term much Of our time has been
neediessly consumed In the consideration of
such cases, and many hundreds Of dollars
expense to the county has been unnecessa-
riiy Incurred.
The dispatch of our business has been
greatly facilitated and our lsbors lightened
By The promptness and industry Of the Dis.
srict Attornsy and the Sheriff. For this and
their uniform courtesy, these officers have
our thanks.
We now ask to be discharged.

This morning, at half f-past five o'clock, fire
broke out In the brewery owned by II. T.
Gilbert, and though most Of our citizens

saving the stables, residence, etc, which
were in close proximity to the fire, but were
saved. Mr.. Gilbert's loss will reach $4,000 or
$1,000.
