A New Disease in Cattle.

1t is reported that "a disease called
swell head has appeared among cattle
in the western stock yards" This dis.
ease is exceedingly malignant and prac-
tically incurable. 1t is a question:,
however, if it is really a new disease.
1t is more likely to be an old and rather
common one. which has been recently
more accurately known and described
than heretofore. Without a close mi
croscopic examination it is not to be
distinguished from the common "big
head" or ''big jaw which first APP
pear as a tumor or swelling of the
jaw, and ends by death and destruction
of the bone, leading, of course, to a
miserably slow death of the animal by
bio od-poisoning or by starvation. And
as it is exceedingly rare for the micro
scope to be made use of in the examin-
alton of a diseased animal, there may
be every probability that this disease
has long been in existence here without
becoming identified until attention was
recently called to it in the columns of
the american Veterinary ReUieW, where
an accurate description of it was
given. From its nature it is con-
tagious, as it consists of a parasitic
fungus growth, which may begin on the
tongue or cheeks and soon spreads to
the bone; and the saliva of a diseased
animal would, of course, communicate
the germs of the disease to any other
one which should take it into the mouth
upon food, or in water, or from a fouled
trough or Manager. There have been
cases in which several animals of a
herd have died, one after the other, at
intervals from what has been supposed
to be the common disease known by
surgeons as osteo-pGrcOna, or tumor of
the bone. As the peculiar fungoid
growths of the so-called new disease, to
which the name dctino-mykosis has
been given, a only be seen by very
close examination, and as the old and
the new one are both malignant and
incurable, and have precisely the same
apparent course, there may be a meas
urable certainty that some of these
cases referred to may have been of this
particular kind. Just here we can only
call attention to the necessity for using
every precaution against this contagion
by keeping a diseased animal isolated
or by Strengthening it as soon as the
disease is identified and has passed the
stage. when it can be hopefully treated
This precaution is especially required
in dairies, in which a large majority OF
the cases occur.-N. Y. Tribune.

FARM N PRESIDE.

-Hen-roosts painted twice a year
with crude petroleum will never be
troubled with lice.-N. 7. Herald.
"A s~heep-owner of long experience
says that a change of pasture should be
given to sheep as often as once 3
month.
The common red clover is better
than the large for general purposes.
The latter is difficult to cure, makes
coarser hay and is more apt to become
musty.-Prairie Farmer.
Coffee, without milk, is sometimes
good for chills and fever. Dyspeptics
should avoid it. In Spanish-American
countries tits taken strong before break
fast.
1t is an excellent plan to have a
small patch of artichokes convenient to
the hog-pens. Turn the sows in early
in the spring and allow them to harvest
the roots for themselves. -NeW England
Farmer.
Tar may be readily removed from
the hands by rubbing with the outside
of fresh orange or lemon peel and
wiping dry Immediately. The volatile
oils in the skin dissolve the tar so that
it a be wiped of.-Scientifc Ameri-

cupful of rich milk, and one cup

A fine dressing of pulverized muck
or of wood ashes applied in spring will
benefit orchards. Wood-pile scrapings
are also good. If you have none of
these use commercial manures, but fer
tilize them in some way. Barnyard
manure is preferable for autumn use.

"A common sponge cake is now
sition, being simply: One pound of SUI
gar, four eggs and one-half pound

in it added; then flour to make a bat
ter same lightness as sponge cakes. 1t
is also used for cheap charlotte russo

For the sore throat of a horse rub
tincture of cantharides well into the
throat, letting it 90 up well toward the
ears, over the glands. Ten or twelve
hours after apply a linseed poultice
and change it morning and night; cor
tinue it till the soreness is gone. Gargle
the throat with this mixture three times
a day with a syringe-chlorate OF
potash, one ounce; tincture of muriate
of iron, two ounces; water, one pint;
mix Chicago Horsemdn.
There are two weighty reasons,
says a writer in tho Farming World,
for shallow culture. First, corr hilled
up will blow down more readily; il
checks the spreading of the roots,
which naturally run far out near the
surface of the ground. l am speaking
of the top roots, not the deep running
ones, now, the killing tending to con.
fine the surface roots to the hill
weakens the hold of the stalk upon the
ground. When the surface roots have
their own way they grasp the ground,
anchoring the corn. Killing confines
many of the roots to small feeding
grounds. Let nature have her course
in this particular.

so, John! 1t is good-it is noble of
you!" cried his wife, Historically.
"What's MORE" resumed old Mr..
Paradise, as though resolved to Guido
himself in generosity, 'Tll write a
letter to the young fellow and say that
I'm willing to let by-gones be by-gones.
It's no good doing things by halves,
Loo; and as he is our daughters hus-
band, we had better make the best of
it."
He walked from the room as he
spoke, leaving his wife too dazed to
realize the full measure of relief and
Joy which his behavior brought to her.
After a short interval he returned with
a letter which he had written to his
son-in-law. 1t was short, and to the
point, but was decidedly cordial in its
tone, and could hardly fail to reconcile
the young man to his father-in-law.
Among other things, it mentioned the
handsome settlement he had made upon
his daughter, and inclosed was a check
for 950O to enable the young couple to
purchase a wedding present from him
during their honeymoon. This letter
the old man went out and posted with
his own hand then and there,
During the evening he caught his
wife looking at him once o twice in
rather an anxious, wistful manner, and
being in high good humor he said at
length:

go! It's all right, then," said hiil
wife, with an air of inexpressible relief.
s'The fact is he has been a good deal
annoyed by a report which appeared in
a Scotch paper. A cousin of his-al-
most a namesake-came in for a large
fortune the other day, and every one
jumped at the conclusion that it was he.
He has been overwhelmed-with con-
gratulations, and L thought perhaps
you had heard the news and that was

of thunder, after a short pause, during
which he grew purple in the face.

Col. E. G. Cooper has told the Den
yer NeaOs of a hairbreadth escape he had
from death in the jaws of a Colorado
mountain lion. He was skating on a
lake near his gold mine, and the lion
sprang for him. There was a chase for
some miles, the Colonel occasionally
getting the best of the lion by making a
sudden curve. At length one skate be-
gan to loosen, and he felt that the SUI
preme moment was at hand. He had
heard that music might soothe a brute,
and he began to sing, but this enraged
the lion, and, b%ethinking himself Of a
rival newspaper he had in his pocket, he
drew it forth and read the lion to sleep.

One of California's NabObs.

A man with a leg that hung as loose
from his hip as if it had been a piece OF
hay rope buttoned a ragged old over
coat over his bumped shoulders and
pigeon breast. Then he looked up and
down Main street with earnest vacuity,
and hoped on his good leg to his
wagon and drew himself painfully up
to his seat. The top of the wagon was
made chiefly of gunny sacks, and canted
to one side as if it had about made up
its mind to give up further effort to be a
waoon-top. Three spOkes were gone
from the hind wheels. The hind spring
was broken and was tied to the axle
with half-unraveled ropes. Attached
to this ruin of a vehicle was a mule.
The wagon by comparison with this
beast was a new and gaudy thing. The
mule was tied to the broken and spliced
shafts with odds and ends of straps.
His whole harness was a maze of knots
and twists and tangles. The mule stood
with his nose within six inches of the
ground, and gave a hollow cough at
Intervals. From a strap close to his cal
a long tassel depended. 1t had once
been red, but was now q dirty pink.
Get up" said the man with the
DOneleSS icy, uSSluS ut Iho ioPo "nu
leather lines. The mule groaned
deeply. and painfully started up ut a
walk so slow that it would have angered
the chief mourners at afuneral. As he
walked it was noticed that one of his
hind legs had been broken at the knee
Joint, and healed so that it bent inward
and rubbed against the other at every
step. s:.Who is hep" 'Oh, it's old
