INFLUENZA IN SHEEP.
simple Remedies for the Cure of tn
Troublesome Complaint.

simple Remedies for the Cure of the
Troublesome Complaint.
In reply to a correspondent we would
say that influenza in sheep is not in
fictitious. 1t is often supposed to be
because it depends upon conditions
that are apt to exist over wide range
of territory and hence many sheep may
be affected at the same time. 1t is an
Inflammation of the membranes of the
nose and bronchial passages. The eyes
are red and watery, more or less fever
is present, there is a marked weakness
and the system generally is out of or
der. The animal has no appetite, the
nose runs, there is cough, indigestion
and impaction. After cold and damp
weather, it is observable frequently,
and is always more severe on low, wet
undrained land. When sheep are
upon such land and are attacked,
they should be removed to higher
and dryer land. When possible they
should be given oil-meal. Again we
desire to say that oil-meal is one of the
best things in the world to feed to
sheep. 1t is not only good food, but il
is good medicine, as it acts as tonic
and keeps the bowels and digestion in
order. If oil-meal is fed feed it with
oats or rye or buckwheat. If the dis
ease assumes a severe character give
the following purgative: EPSON salts
half ounce, ginger one dram. Give it
in little water, say quarter of pint.
If flock is affected mix the medicine
in bulk according to the above pre-
scription and, taking Il horn, ad-
minister quarter of a pint to each
animal. If any are very seriously af-
fected they will need something to al
lay the fever quickly and to stimulate.
In such cases administer the following
tincture of aconte, ten drops; solu-
ton of acetate of ammonia, one
ounce. This ought to be given every
five hours, but the aconite should be
decreased by one drop at every dose
until not more than five drops are
| given.
Sometimes the eyes are so much in
famed that they require treatment, and
should be washed with Il solution of one
grain of sulphate of zinc and twenty
drops of laudanum in an ounce of wa
ter When the disease has disappeared
feed loosening and very nutritious
foods, such as bran mashes, boiled
oats and little corn mush occasional.
W. The stimulants will need to bt
kept up in some shape, and in the food
sprinkle a little powdered ginger OF
gentian, or administer in honey, if the
medicine is not readily taken by the
animal in its food. Keep well sheltered
while treating the animal with this dis
ease. - Western Rural

ALL THE RAGE.
Fresh Fashions Which Have Become De-
cidedly Popular.

Cfueuiy Iopuihr'
The Bulgarian turban is all the rage
at present.
Low corsages of red velvet are worn
with skirts of various materials, tulle
and other thin fabrics not excepted.
The new short sleeves consist of small
puffs, or narrow double ruches or tulle,
crossing the top of the arm.
Dresses of tulle or china gauze broche
with small figures or gold or silver
spangied Grape, literally freighted with
flowers, are among the novelty ball
dress fabrics for the current season.
China Grape is popular fabric,
though vests and side panels of white
watered silk are de rtgueur with velvet
dresses with a plastron of gimp made
of Oriental net, wrought in flowers or
Valenciennes, a revived lace favored by
the devotees of style because of its soft
ening and assimilating qualities.
Bonnets are still worn for the theater
and for dress occasions. Very young
married ladies may replace the bonnet
by the great "Rembrandt' hat of black
felt, with wide brim, turned up at the
left and entirely covered with jet
beads. 1t is trimmed with a tuft OF
feathers la Lamballe, that is to say,
the quilts in back and the ends falling
over the front
Many of the new imported dresses
have fine side-plaited gauze ribbon,
with thin satin stripes set in the neck
and sleeves. 1t is quite pretty as a
novelty, but is scarcely suitable for full
dress, and not as desirable as q little
plated lace for ordinary wear, as il
brushes very readily, and then looks
''mussy" and careless. White corduroy
and very coarse white net lace are
used in single or double bias folds fol
the same purpose.
A favorite fashion is to have long
plaits down the left side of the skirt,
and vest straight from throat to
waist, with cuffs and revers of the silk,
with soft girdle crossing the basque
at the waist-line, supplemented by Ions
square pockets of the silk, trimmed
with buttons. Two yards of this silk i
all-sufficient to embellish new costume
or refresh one not new, and any colo
of velvet or wool may be stylishly EN-
bellished by this black garniture.-N

ner last Saturday. For several weeks past
Mr.. Wyman has been missing articles from
his buggy, and in order to detect the thief
he rugged up muskrat trap in an open
box and placed it under the buggy seat.
The chain of the trap he secured to the
foot-bar of the buggy, to prevent the es-
cape of any queer fish he might capture in
his novel trap. Thus fixed for the enemy,
Mr.. Wyman started out Locust street. AT
Seventeenth street he was startled by q
series Of loud outcries and
screams hailing from the rear
of the buggy. Turning in
his seat, Wyman bebeld a good-sized
hoodlum Of about eighteen years, engaged
in frantic struggle to free his hand from
the muskrat trap, in which it was securely
caught. Wyman whipped up his horse
and drove up Locust to Jefferson avenue
at a brisk trot, the thief dragging on be-
hind as fast as his legs could carry him
emitting yelp at every jump. At Jeffer
son avenue Mr.. Wyman pulled up. HI
obtained the assistance of small boy K

THE DOCTOR TO HIS HORSE.


All, Billy, many a day and night,
Thro' the sun and stormy weather,
We've logged along as best We might,
With aching hearts together;
We've braved the wintry blasts that poured
Their doubling fury DER us,
And many a lonely league we've scored
With little cheer before us.
Footsore we've plpdded on and on,
Ger roads that slow unraveled
Their murky miles from dusk to dawn,
And chilled us as we travelled;
We've threaded woods so dark and mute,
And glens with gloom so thick. sir,
The owls were half afraid to boot,
And whippoorwills grew sick, sir.
Down country lanes by churchyards dim,
AT midnight we have scurried,
And seen the eldritch moonlight swim
Above the deed we've buried;
For us the fire fy's trimmed his lamp
In many q gloomy thicket;
We've heard = down where the beetles
camp
The rasping of the cricket
We've listened to the snap and crack
OF heartstrings when the portal
OF life's proud temple, swinging back,
Let free the soul immortal;
We've caught the sound of spirit wings
III novels of affiictlOn,
And heard, amid such sufferlngs,
Loves bravest benediction.
We've seen the har sned sinners eyes
Lock up their light forever,
With grouns and agOnies and cries,
AS soul and sense did sever;
We've seen the good old man eyelids close,
AS DER them death did settle,
As softly as summer rose
Shuts. up its snowy petal.
We've seen the father, stopped with years,
On many death-bed languish
We've heard the sob and seen the tears
Stream down che cheeks of anguish
o cOmrade mine! our days have been
A never'ending trial,
We've starved our souls, and worn them
thin,
With steady self.denial
Old fellow! you have ever stood
My friend in trbulation,
And would give you, If | could,
A royal recreation;
Alas! I'm racked with aches and pains,
And you are getting bony,
And Billy, little rest remains
For you and me, my pony.
Aha! stranger pauses here,
With blinking gold beside us.
And he would take you, Billy dear,
If ducats could divide us;
The wretch he does not understand
Exactly where my heart is,
Not all the wealth at his command,
My Billy-boy, could part u.s.
