LYING IN BED.
A Useful Art That is Sadly Neglected
 in These Hurryfng Times.

From the San Francisco Wasp.]
 One of the most useful yet neglected of all the arts is that of lying in bed. The damage that is done by persons getting up is past all reckoning. All the mischief and crime, the counterfeiting and forgery, the murder and theft are perpetrated by parties who persist in getting up. Not only individuals do wrongly by leaving their bed, but rivers .as we'll do an immense amount of damage. What man was ever dunned by creditor, had his eye put in mourning by too close proximity with some ones fist, broke his leg on slippery pavement, was run over by an omnibus, who lay in bed.

" There is the fatal mistake. People who rise early are sure to catch the malaria; the ground is full of lf-hatched poisonous germs; the sun is not up and has not warmed them into life, given them wings and set them adrift.

 Who says that women are net inventors? A girl writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer that she has invented and wishes to patent a com bination hustle and chair. She explains that the hustle is constructed like the usual article, to be worn under the draperies of a dress, but that within it are adjusted the legs and seat of chair, arranged so that when the wearer bends to sit down they will automatically drop into place to support her.
 A new industry in southern forests is the utilization of the needles of the long-1eaved ed in bath to remove the glazing, then ''crinkled'' for stufing cushions and other upholstering purposes.

MURRAlN.
A Prevalent Sheep Disease and Suggested
Remedy.

A Prevalent Sheep Disease and a Suggested
Remedy.
Sometimes young and thrifty stock
is attacked by what is popularity called
murrain. Old and poor stock seldom
suffer from this cause. The times of
its occurrence are the spring and early
summer and also in the fall. Usually
it appear when the season is wet and
the pasture grows rank and is watery.
The sheep eat too much of this pasture
and overtaN the digestive machinery.
From indigestion the blood becomes
affected, and often before any trouble
is suspected the sheep suddenly die.
Usually the wool leaves the skin by
simply touching it, after the animal is
dead, and the body is found often to
be swollen and blackened in patches,
especially on the forequarter, flank and
hindquarter. Air gathers beneath the
skin, and post mortem examination
will reveal decomposition, and the
body will be filled with black blood.
The mouth and tongue, and sometimes
the eyes, are inflamed. There is
constipation the urine is dark and the
droppings are bloody. The symptoms,
of course, differ somewhat in different
animals, and sometimes sheep die with
this trouble that have few or none of
these marked symptoms.
The disease rarely appears on billy
ground, or on soils that are gravelly
and dry. Rich bottom lands are favor
able to its development. Prevention
lies in avoiding sudden change from
poor to rich food or from rich to poor
food, and in unceasing regularity of
feeding. The first thing to do when
the sheep are attacked is to administer
purgative. Give the following in
oat meal Cruel: Sulpnate of soda, two
ounces; flowers of sulphur, one ounce;
powdered myrrh, one scruple. Six
hours afterward give teaspoonful of
nitrous ether in pint of water. The
powders that we so often recommend
for indigestion and blood difficulty,
will prove excellent: Charcoal, sui
phur, saltpeter. golden seal, gentian
and May apple root, a half pound each.
and copperas a quarter of pound.
This prescription corrects the digestion,
reaches the kidneys, clears the liver,
gives tone to the system and purifies
the blood. 1t is an excellent prevent
i've of disease, and most excellent
| remedy. AS we have sometimes said
before, however, it will be found that
oil meal, without anything more. will
often prove all that sheep may need
to aid digestion and to help the bowels
perform their functions. We can not
too strongly recommend oil meal,
while sheep are on dry food. If fed
this judiciously, they will be in much
better shape to change from dry food
to grass than they usually are without
it Try it another season. Western

TRICKS IN THE STABLE.
Vicious Habits Which Idle Horses Are APP
to Acquire.

Vicious Habits Which Idle Horses Are Apt
to Acquire.
Among the tricks or rather habits
acquired by horses in the stable, rest
ing one shoe upon the other hoof, lying
in the gangway, rolling in the stall, and
kicking are among the worst In the
first place, the horse, if suddenly
startled, is apt to bring the resting foot
down suddenly, often seriously injur-
ing the coronet. The remedy is boot
covering the part likely to be injured.
Lying in the gangway may be, prevent
ed by placing bale or rope behind the
horse, preventing him from backing
up. Standing in the gangway may be
prevented by the same means. Rolling
is the most difficult to cure. The most
feasible plan is to keep the skin of the
horse free from sweat and dirt, which
induce itching; and also to allow the
animal to roll in soft ground when
sweaty and tired. A roomy stall, with
sides standing slanting up to the per-
pendicular walls, will also prevent this,
but a box-stall will be the best prevent
i've. Severe strains of the loins, even
fractures of the hip bones, and other
disabilities, are often the result of roll
ing in the stall. Lying in the stall, at
the extreme length of the halter, re-
suits in strains and sprains in the at
tempt to rise.
Kicking is one of the worst vices to
which a horse can become addicted.
1t the habit is not inveterate it is cured
by hanging a sack well stuffed with
hay so it may strike the animal in the
rebound from the kick. Let him kick
this innocent dummy until he is tired
Then he is apt to quit for ever. A
horse that kicks from being touched
by the whiffletree or. other sub
stance touching him should be
Immediately taken out of the vehi-
Gle and allowed to kick until he be-
comes tired. The whiff1etree should
be padded so as not to seriously in lure
him. 1t may then be lowered so as to
touch his heels when he moves. When
he ceases to kick he is generally cured
entirely. The remedy may seem Sc
we're, but kicking horse is worthless,
because always most dangerous. In
lieu of the whiffietree SACK stuffed
with hay may be suspended SO it will
touch his heels in the stable. But
confirmed kicker should be sold to
work in heavy team where he can not
do much injury Chicago Tribune.
