A New Sheep Malady.

Near Newcomerstown, Ohio, a pc
culiar malady termed ''grub" is just now
carrying off many sheep and sad havoc is
being made among some Of the wool grow
ers' flocks. The disease is caused by a
worm called grub, and is very distressing
one. The egg of the worm is deposited in
the nostril of the sheep in July or August
by peculiar kind of fly and the grub
toward the brain, which when penetrated
kills the animal at once. The worm is
about the size of the common grub worm
and has gimlet appearance. Mr.. King, a
prominent farmer, has already lost thirty
of his finest sheep and other farmers have
lost nearly their entire docks.

The following is summary of win
ter wheat prospects, based on replies from
over thousand correspondents: Winter
wheat has commenced to CROWN the south

present to estimate the extent of the injury.
The development of growth has as yet been
small, but the advent of warm weather
would help the general condition Of the
crop greatly. It now looks as if farmers
from Dakota to Illinois will be able to begin
spring seeding soon after April LIST. Prices
offer no encouragement for an increase in
acreage of spring wheat, but from The
amount Of new breaking in the northwest
it does not seem probable that the acreage
will be materially diminished.
