How Its Spread May be Generally Pre-
vented.
When this disease occurs in family
it is question of the greatest impor-
lance that its spread to other members
be prevented. 1t is not always possible
to send children away, nor is it always
safe, as they may be infected and spread
the disease elsewhere. The best method
of preventing the spread of the disease
to other members of the family is by
means OF disinfection; and by disinfec-
ton is not meant the use of special SUBJ
stances that destroy germs. but cleanli-
ness. In the first place keep the room
in which the sick child is confined thor
oughly ventilated; remove all superflu-
GUS furniture and carpets; destroy all
rags and bits of paper used in washing
the sick; put all linen and toweling used
in the room into boiling water and boil
them thoroughly till every germ is
killed, But still another thing must be
done; principal source of the infection
is the skin, so bathing should be prac-
ticed, and after the bath oiling the body
all over. Oil serves to kill the germs;
they do not develop in it, or, if they do,
can not fly away into the air With per-
feet cleanliness there will be little spread
of the disease. Of Health.

MUTTON AS FOOD.
Good Mutton More the Result of Feeding
than Breed.

Good Mutton More the Result of Feeding
than Breed.
In the production of good mutton
much more depends upon feeding than
upon the breed. The flesh of well-fed
sheep, Of every variety, from the Me-
rino to the Downs, is palatable and de-
licious. The reason that Merino mutton
is not better is because of age, bad feed
ing and i'll treatment generally. A
prominent agricultural editor who has
for years said that Merino mutton was
not fit to eat, was recently presented
with two quarters OF pure Merino
which were served upon his table and
received the following comments:
Never anywhere, or OF any breed.
have we tasted mutton more sweet or
tender, and we have eaten the best of
Southdown, thousands of times, upon
its native heath. The mutton was from
a four-year- pure Merino eve, weigh
ing III pounds, and dressing sixty-tive
pounds. She was entirely free from
wrinkles and would have sheared eight
cen pounds at the spring shearing. A
sample of her wool was one of the best
we ever saw, showing both length and
quality, and an even texture through
out. No mutton equals chop from a
fat> well-fed young sheep"
do not insist that Merino mutton is
as good as that from the strictly mutton
breeds, but do contend that any sheep
will make good and profitable mutton,
if properly fed and cared for, an item
which will go long way in piecing out
the short profits of wool-growing. None
of the objections urged against the use
of pork can be brought against that of
mutton. 1t has never been known to
impart disease to its consumers. Tri-
chime, tape worm and scrofula are pro-
duced by eating other meats. The
sheep abhors mire, and will taste moth
ing that is not clean and clearly served.
1t is wholly herbaceous, and very neat
in its habits. Mutton is as wholesome
as any meat, and may be variously pre-
pared for the table. For steady diet it
is superior to pork and costs no more.
l have reference to mutton, for in my
estimation, only those sheep which are
fat and healthy are muttons. Old, de-
crepid, broken-mouthed, foot-diseased
animals, such as fill the general mar
ket, are not fit for food, and do much
to prejudice people against mutton.
The majority of farmers do not kill a
sheep once year, because custom has
made the American people great pork
and beef-eaters.-Cor Bovine Farmer.

a Boston Bean Story.

A Florida youth, who bought apair Of
shoes without trying them on, found on
reaching home that they were just an
eighth of an inch too small all around.
He thought, however, that he would
enlarge them sufficiently by the bean"
process; so he filed each shoe to the
top with large white beans-the variety
that swell nearly double their size
gave them all the water thew would
hold, and left them over night to the
mercy of the beans. In the morning he
found that they had increased in size
from No. 5 to apparently No. s, and
that the uppers had raised up on one
side, exposing 3 huge crevasse and al
lowing the beans to escape for several
feet around. The next time he will pare
down his feet.-Boston journal

Horses Without Shoes.

It may do very well for those who
are inexperienced in the use of horses
to talk of abandoning the process OF
shoeing, but it will not convince those
who are accustomed to draw heavy
loads with this animal that they can be
safely employed without the necessary
foot protection. Even admitting that
during the summer season, when the
soil is soft, horse could be used with
out shoes, to suppose that it could be-
safely used when the ground is roughly
frozen and covered with ice is simply
absurd. And the absurdity is increased
in those portions of the country where
the surface is billy. Take for instance
portions Of New England, with hills
rising at an angle Of forty-fve degrees,
and with seasons of ice as they some
times occur, it would be utterly impossi-
BILE for horse to travel with even no
load without shoes having sharp caulks.
II Nature did provide feet, It did not
provide for the hauling Of heavy loads.
