A small allowance of green food is
highly relished by stock OF all kinds
at this season, but where green food
is scarce a few sliced roots will serve
as a substitute. They act as an
appetizer. and thereby promote
health.
When birds have swelled heads or

An advocate o. corn-fed pork ad-
nits that the hog fed miscellaneouslY
has the sweetest and tenderest meat,
and if taste be a criterion in pork as
1t is reckoned to be in everything else
that is eatable, the fruit-fed and milk
fed pork is certainly best. But he
adds that If greater frmness be desir-
ed it may be had by finishing off the
last few weeks OF fattening by feeding
corn meal, not corn in the ear.
Tobacco is another excellent insecti-
eide and ought to be obtained free at

make an excellent insect.repelling

Some hens are so persistent that
they will not submit to be changed
from their accustomed nest to anoth :
er, even abandon the eggs in the
nest IN order to remain on the empty
one. AS 1t is desirable at times to
change them, however, it may bedone
if the box in which the nest is made is
removed with the hen to the nest)
at night, so that she cannot see what
is going on. Give her clutch OF eggs
twenty-four hours before removing
her, and she will more readily submit.
Not realizing that she has been re-
moved along with the nest box, she
may be somewhat surprised at the
surroundings the next morning but in

tented. Farmers Home Journal.

Give Attention to Your Sheep.

Best results in sheep raising cannot
be obtained, Says the Germantown
Telegraph, save through suitable at
tention in winter. While sheep will
devour much OF the coarser and poor
er food OF the farm with greater APP
parent relish than other animals, it
must not be supposed that they will
do their best on such food. They may
live upon it, but will not give such
wool productions as they ought. Any
poor quality OF food must be supple.
mented by one that is more concen-
trateed. OF course, the keeping of
sheep is for one OF three purposes, or
or either two or three com bined, VIZ,
the production of wool, the produc-
ton OF mutton, and the production
OF manure. For either of the first
named purposes there should be good
food and warm stables, with suita-
BILE ventil alton; to form flesh or wool
there must be material supplied in the
food given. and it is far better to feed
a maximum quantity, and in so
doing the third purpose named will be
secured; or it may be secured by light,
poor feeding, that before spring re-.
auires the deposit OF the carcass Of
the animal IN the MANURE heap.

DIPHTHERIA IN THE WEST.
A Peculiar and Fatal Type of the
Disease.
From. the Ne,u York Tribune.

From the NetU York Tribune
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-There is an epidemic
of diphtheria now prevailing in many parts
of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska,
which is peculiarly fatal and malignant.
AS rule death does not result fron the
suffocation, but from failure of the heart.
The throatsymptoms are extremely slight
until the child is almost dead. The diph-
thereto patches present on the throat, ton
sis and palate are SO faint in many
of these fatal cases as to escape attent ion
until the sudden collapse of tho child de-
mands an explanatioJ, which is found in a
grayish patch The peculiars.throat odor
which frequently reveals diphtheria 8 has
been absent in many of the cases. The con-
stitutional symptoms are often absent until
the sudden final collapse. E3The epidemic is
probably due to the strain put upon the
drainage by the abundant rainfall, and the
resultant interference with the outflow.
The disease is particularly bad in Gross
Park, suburb of Chicago. This town is a
fiourishing and rapidly-growing settlement:
and although its beginnings trace back but
four years, it has now a population esti-
mated at between 1000 aud 5000 But
Gross Park has not had time as ye5, nor
have many of its inhabitants had the means
to introduce thorough system of drain
age. OF late, however, sewers have
been bullC tnere along Lincoln ave-
nue., Ashland avenue, Melrose street
and other thoroughfares Along the
middle of September diphtheria began to
appear in different parts of Gross Park.
The disease was of malignant type, and
attacked the juvenile portion Of the COM
munity. About month ago the ravages
of the disease ceased for a time. 1t broke
out afresh and with redoubled violence
simultaneously with the building of the
sewers just mentioned. and since then the
dread scourge of childhood has shown no
signs of abatement. All the practicing
physicians there have had their hands full
with cases of diphtheria.
curious fact about this epidemic Of
diphtheria in Gross park is that it attacks
certain parts of the town, while others, APP
parently not differing in any respects in the
matter of lacking sanitary provisions, have
SO far remained unframed. Thus, the long
and populous block in Lincoln avenue, be-
tween Belmont and Melrose streets. al
though there are many children living in
it, has not had a single case of diphtheria
and the north side of Merose street, be-
tween Lincoln and Paulina, has also kept
free from it, whereas the south side of the
same block has had dozen cases OF diph-
liberia, a number Of which have proved
fatal

OF NEBRASKA. NOMI-
MATED FOR THE SAME OFFICE.

The successful and popular admin
istration of Governor Thayer, has led
| to his denomination. He will be re-
elected governor in November next.
General Thayer was born at Bel
| lingham, Massachusetts, on January
"A, 1920. He is a graduate of Brown
University, and a member of the Bar
of the Bay state. In 1884 he left his
native common wealth for Ne
braska, then being organized as
territory. He made Omaha
his place of residence. Shortly
after his arrival, there being trouble
with the Indians, the legislature
passed the militia law to meet the
emergency, and the governor APP
pointed Mr.. Thayer brigadier-general.
When subsequently the rank of
major-general was created, Mr.. Thayer
was made the first possessor of the
distinction. He proved to be an eX-
cellent Indian fighter, and as such
gained an experience which was of
considerable value to the union cause
in the civil war.
In 1859, General Thayer, a republic
can from the formation of the party,
was chosen by a democratic county,
member of the convention to frame a
state constitution. The next year he
was elected to the upper house of the
territorial legislature.
At the beginning of the war of the
Union he was commissioned Colonel
by the war department at Washing
ton, and took command of the first
regiment which left Nebraska for the
field. He served in Missouri during
the first six months of the war. After
taking part in various important
operations, Colonel Thayer was en-
trusted with the command of the eX-
treme right at the battle of Shiloh,
where he greatly distinguished him
self, and won his promotion to be
brigadier-general. Subsequently at
Chickasaw Bayou, the battle of
Arkansas Post, the siege of Vicksburg
and both captures of Jackson, Mississ-
ippi. he gained additional laurels as a
brave and skillful soldier. Having
been given command of the army of
the frontier, as its leader he partici-
pated in the battle of Jenkins Ferry
and other engagements. By the end of
the war he had been created a major
general for distinguished services"
Since 1865 Candidate Thayer's ser
vices as a statesman have been con-
siderable. On March 3, 1871, he con-
Guided a term of six years in the
United States senate, where he proved
to be an able debater and useful
member of several important COM
mittees. He was appointed governor
of Wyoming Territory in 1875 and
served the term of four years.
