to be well under control, and those in charge
are very hopeful that there will be no new
cases There have been no new cases since
Saturday. At present there are only two
cases, one an attendant Mr.. Gilbert; the
other a patient, Mr.. Symonds. Both are
convalescing rapidly, and doing nicely. Mr..
Gilbert has so far recovered that he would
be allowed to 90 to his home were it not for

WEEKLY REPORT


Bases of conta gious diseases were report
ed to the State Board of Health, during the
week ending July IL, as follows:
Diphtheria.-Augusta 4, Z Columbia Falls
], Milo 2, Portland l.
Typhoid Fever.-Ashland 5, Westbrook 3,
Yarmouth 2
Scarlet Fever.-Parsonsield |. Whitney
vile 3, Portland L.
The four cases reported in Augusta were
at the Insane Hospital. Two of them ended
fatally. The most reasonable explanation
which has yet been made for the origin of
the outbreak is that young man came to
the hospital as an attendant June p, who
from the 18th to the 10th, had what he
called simple sore throat. He kept his
bed two of these days but had no medical
attendance. On the oath or the 25th his
brother who had been with him at home,
was attacked with diphtheria.

Dai ry Notes.

The visible supply of cheese is said
to be considerably in excess of last year
at this date.
The average price of cheese for 1887
was greater than in 1886, while the av
erage price of butter was less.
Wsrm mashes Of wheat bran may
be stimulating to milk secretion, but
the milk will not be rich in cream.
The dairy cow must be bred with
the idea of giving back to her owner
everything but actual bodily support.
The quantity of salt required varies
with the food and other conditions. The
commission of the French government
recommended two ounces day for a
working OK or milch cow. DR..
Phipson, an English authority, says a
milch COW requires four ounces of salt
day. Finally, Prof. ..Goessmann sums
|up the whole question as follows
"Salt does not increase directly the live
weight, yet it favors an economical di-
gestion and assimilation of the reqisite
normal amount of food; and it allows
us, if desirab e, to feed our stock high.

Economizlng Heat.

Two sheets of paper, placed near
together, hold between them thin lay.
er of non conducting air, which pre-
vents the passing away of heat. Even
common newspapers, in two or more
layers around the body, are great
help in keeping the heat from escaping
into the colder air.
Layers Of Newspapers, or of other
paper, under the overcoat, or laid on
the floor, or under the carpet if there
is one, are great protection against
heat leaving the body, or leaving the
room. (The cold does not enter; it is
the heat that goes out into the cold air,
that we need to keep from doing SOY ....
Spread out layers Of paper, nailed up
against the wall of our houses, are great
helps to keep the heat inside during
cold weather. Nail them up all around
the walls of stables, pig-pens, etc. and
the animals will lose much less heat.
AS the heat of the body all comes
fre m food, if the animals are kept warm
by any proper protection, they need far
less food to keep them warm, and will
use much more Of the food, in adding
to their growth, or in laying on fat.
The animals exposed to cold winds or
air, have to use up all their food in
keeping warm, and often lose some of
their flesh, which is drawn upon to
supply the heat carried rapidly away
BY cold air.
The ertra food thus required by up.
protected people and animals is not
only wasted, but it taxes the vital
forces to digest it. and the health is thus
impaired.--Pkairie Farmer.

Als,ke Glover.


Alsike Clover is one of the best
grasses for milk and butter. Two
pounds ofAlsike seed will be plenty
for an acre when mixed with red clover
and timothy-and this is the proper
way TO grow Alsike successfully in a
climate subject to drouth. The red
clover is needed for shade during dry
spell of weather and the timothy to hold
it up and away from the ground. II
wanted for seed never mind the timothy
or the red clover. If wanted free from
timothy seed you can cradle off the
heads ofthe timothy before you cut the
Alsike. 1t is not very generally known
that pastures and meadows can be sup
piled with Alsike at pleasure, but such
IS the fact, and very good time to seed
them is in July or August. If we then
have plenty of rain, the Alsike will
make such growth during Autumn
as to insure a crop of both hay and
honey the following season.

working the Roads.

The road question appears to be ex-
citing greet deal of interest in many
parts of the country. And it is notice,
able that the complaints all come from
quarters where the road management is
similar to ours. And another remark
able concurrence is that the district
system is always recommended. A cor
respondent from Schoharie county, n.
Y, writing under the above ctption in
the Country Gentleman, describes the
system which prevailed in Cecil county
Fifty years ago and for which petitions
are being circulated asking the crude
I'D plan to be reinstated, but fortunate
| ly with no prospect of success.
'I have been much Interested in the
many articles which have appeared
lately in the Country Gentleman on
"Improving the Roads, Road Max
ing,' &c. In our town the roads are
under the same old management of our
grandfathers, but the work is not done
SO we'll and honestly as then. The
overseer now warns out the inhabitants
accordingly as they are assessed /; a boy
of twelve or an old man OF seventy is
allowed a day as we'll as man who can.
and often does, twice as much. Eight
hours are spent in dumping sods, loose
earth and stones indiscriminatcly in the
middle of the track, and carelessly
leveling the same, SO that it is often
practically impassable for many weeks.
A much better way and one l should
suggest would be to have the road tax
assessed and paid with the town tax and
then apportioned to each ward or Sec
tion. The overseer could then expend
the seme in employing good able hands
for ten hours day, which would give
much more benefit for the money, and
should give better satisfaction generally.
'Fhe stone laying along the roadsides
should be put in the road bed and GOV
cred, and the land owners along the
section should be encouraged to draw
their small stone, picked from their
fields. on the roads and be paid fairly
for the same. Sufficient money should
be kept by each overseer to scrape, and
he should be required to scrape the
section three or four times at least each
year; this would keep the road fairly
smooth, leavisg no holes for water to
settle in.''

Extracts From Terry's Book on
"The Winter Care Of Horses
and Cattle"

I admit, it is exasperating, some
stormy morning, when you are watering
your cows in the yard, and are in a
particular hurry to have them get
through so you can put them back in
the stable, to have cow stand and
look at you with her great sober eyes
as though she would say, "Be-patieut
COMPREHENSIVE; I-will-not-drink
--tlll--I-get-ready." This is ex-
asperating, say; but bad words and
kicks will only make matters worse.
You can drive COW to water, but you
can not make her drink. The right
way is to be just as quiet and patient as
she is. You gain in time. in the end,
and in self respect, as you prove your
self to be superior to the beast. AMI
mails are peculiar; they have their
whims and notions. For the most profit,
one must study tho peculiarties Of each
animal, and humor it. If you have a
COW that will not give down her milk
unless she is eating a mess, why, give
her mess until you can turn her off
and get rid Of her. if you do net like SO
much bother. It is no fault of the COW !;
it is trick some one has taught her.
Remember this, and remember that it
is worse than useless to get mad and
hit her with the milking.stool and tell
her she is blamed old fool.
Certainly man who can not control
his temper when dealing with dumb
animals will never make strictly first.
class successful farmer, and | would
advise him to sell out as did friend
of mine who used to drive oxen, but
finally sold them. He said twas utter.
ly impossible for him to drive them
and not swear, and therefore he sold
them. Much Of tho abuse to animals
doubtless comssfrom th oug htlessness or
a defective education. rather than from
any real intentional cruelty on the part
OF the owner.
Remember that kindness and gentle-
ness toward helpless animals is one sign
ofa real gentleman and more than that,
it will pay in dollars and cents also,
every time.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy We are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
The moments when surrender becomes in
evltable In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable il to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
o,her cases little aid TO the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms Of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble Of the Throat or Lungs, give
that old and well-known remedy-Boscnees'
German Syrup, careful trial. It will
prove what thousands say of it TO be, the
s'benefactor Of any home"
