A curious discovery has been made
at Port Jeryis, n. Y, where typhoid
fever is getting to be an epidemic.
Along the streets where the milk
from certain dairy was delivered the
most cases were found, and the cases
ended where the milk cans gave out.
Seventy-hve per cent. Of the typhoid
patients used the suspected milk, and
on investigation it was found that the
milk came from a farm where several
people were suffering from the fever.
Many of the doctors laugh at the no.
ton that milk can carry disease germs,
but a few admit that it is not an I'M
precedented occurrence.
OF all the impositions on a wife,
one of the hardest is that reported by
Mrs. Sharpe, whose husband, Henry
E. Sharpe, attempts to coerce her in
a business matter by stealing away
her baby before she awakes in the
morning. 1t seems that the widow
Sallade had a good business. Sharpe
married her, evidently to be support
ed. He demanded to be taken in as
partner, commercially as well as mat
rimonially, but the woman curiously
enough preserved her business head
level. When he stole her baby she
promptly sued out writ of hdbeaS
corpus, demanding its return, and had
Sharpe arrested on the ground that
he was about leaving the State.

William Brown, of the Agricultural
College, at Guelph, Canada, says that
in his view, "there is no line of the
farmers work at the present moment,
even with wool so low, that pays so
we'll, gives so little trouble, fewer
risks, earlier returns, and in most
ways makes things so comfortable, as
wool"
The following advice is from the
american Cattle Journal: Keep sheep
dry under foot with litter. This is
even more necessary than roofing
them. Never let them stand or lie in
mud or water. Let no hogs eat W tn
the sheep in the spring. Give the
lambs a little milk feed in time of
weaving. Never brighten sheep if
possible to avoid it. Give some rye
to weak ones in cold weather. Sep
arate all weak, thin or sick from the
strong in the fall, and give them
special care. Shear at once any sheep
commencing to shed it's wool, unless
the weather is too severe, and shave
carefully the felt off any that die.
