EDITOR STANDARD: In looking
through an old number of the Coun-
try Gentleman | find an article from
Y. A. Willard, on Diseases of Cattle
spread by earth-worms. send it to
the STANDARD this week, as it is IA
subject of no little interest to farmers
of today. Who knows but these
same silent forces Of which Mr.. Will
lard speaks, are active agents in de-
veloping hog cholera, chicken cholera,
blind staggers and various other cpl
denies and contagious diseases, when
there are so many cases indicating
sporadic development. Hog cholera,
previous to about 1866, was unknown
in this section. The only serious
trouble we had with hogs previous to
this time was an occasional attack of
what was then called quinsey IAN af
fiction of the throat.) Hogs with
this disease after death were burned.
Whether or not this burning had
anything to do in stamping out the
disease | don't know, but l have not
heard Of case since the fall of 1856.
l would suggest as a precautionary
measure the burning ofall hogs dying
with cholera. Chickens should share
the same fate. Mr.. Wizards high
character and solid worth should give
weight to anything he has written.

A Heroic Remedy.

l.. r. Durham, of this county had
a mare to get very sick with blind
staggers, the disease that has prevail
ed for some time. He tried every
thing but without effect. After the
animal had been sick for several days
and had bruised herself very badly
in falling about, he and Others threw
her down and bored a hole in her
forehead, just below the eyes, with
half inch bit, to the depth Of two
inches, and Immediately clothed
blood begun to lun out at the hole
and the animal began to improve at
once and is now well and sound.
These facts were given to us bya son
of Mr.. Durham and can be relied on
as correct by any one wishing to try
the remedy.

Country Gentleman.
Inc Investigations of Pasteur, in
regard TO the transmission Of cOntag-
lpuS diseases through the agency Of
eaEthWorms, offer some important
suggestions to our dairymen and
slock-groWers, In regard to the dispO-
siuon and burial ofanimals dying on
the farm on account Of diseases in.
lectlouS and not well understood.
Several instances occur to my mind
where farmers with whom | am ac-
luainted have losta number Of ami
mas from year to year in succession
from complaints that appeared mys-
FERROUS. In one case, dairy was
broken up for number of years in
succession, the animals dying sudden.
ly while at pasture and supposed to
have been poisoned, though no evi~
drnce could be obtained against the
suspected parties.
In this case the loss was very large,
and was distributed over a number of
years. absorbing much more than the
income of the farm. The dairyman
was a man of strict integrity and
highly esteemed by those who knew
him, and never having had an alter
cation or any trouble with his neigh
bJrs, with his acquaintance or hired
help, he knew no reason why his an
imals should be poisoned. He exam
inpd very thoroughly his pasture
lands, but could find no plants likely
to iniure his stock. Finally his lands
were plowed up, and dairying for the
most part was abandoned; and after
an intermissiOn of some years on re.
turning to the dairy business. no
t'ouble was had with his herds.
Though for long time the cause OF
these losses was suspected to be poi
s)n administered by some person
having i'll will or a 'grudge against
him, | think this idea was at last
abandoned and the cause of the trou.
bic attributed to some destructive ele.
ment in the pasture land or the plants
growing therein.
In another instance the losses for
several wears on account of stock DIV
ing of a mysterious disease was very
heavy, and they continued without
interruption until the place where
the diseased animals were hurled
was fenced about. and his
stock excluded from anv contact
with it. While looking over this
cemetery of dead dairy stock the
farmer said TO me that he had nc
doubt that the disease ATTACKING his
herd came from the dead animals
buried in his nasture and alrhonoh
the carcasses were hurled deem in the
ground his stock ROAMING over the
graves nust bave in como voy talrer

Can Animals Talk?

Sir Thomas Brown, in dealing with
,"Vulgar Errors," not only maintains
that animals may be made to talk, but
,gravely cites instances to prove that
elephants, at least, have been actually
taught to speak. One of these knowing
creatures in Portuguese, India, accord
ling to Mr. Brown, stubbornly refused
to do what he was bid until it had been
commanded solclnnly in the name Of
the king Of Portugal, upon which the
beast answered: Il will, l will!'' very
distinctly in the Malabar language.
Sir Thomas is also at great pains to
point out the fact that the oral con
formation of apes indicates their capac'
itY for reasonable articulation. We
know that birds of no intelligence
whatever have shown remarkable pow
ers in the ACQUISITION of language.

NAUGATUCK, Sept 26.-Residents on
Hill Side extention are very much dis
satisfied with our board of health for
not making an effort to abate the nui-
sance in and about the DIR Meers hou 5es
near that street in which six families
reside, who have been notified that to
live there is to court typhoid or other
fevers. The argument used by the pres
ident of the board, that they would
rather wait until after town meeting,
and let the new board prosecute, falls
very fiat when over twenty lives are at
stake and a widow with a family of
small children has no place to move to.
Thomas Neary offers to cover the
ditch between the arch and the fire de-
partment lot, if the privilege be granted
him by the Glove company. 1t would

Coroner DOten Investigates the New
England Road Accident.
Coroner Doten of Bridgeport went to
| the scene of the accident on the New
! York s, New England road yesterday
morning and made an inquest. Sum-
mOnses to attend the inquest were issued
to the crews of both trains. Conductor
Bolger of train No 700 and two brake
men, Trainmaster Russ and several
others gave their testimony, but only
one of the crew of No 81 was present.
This was Fireman McDonagle. All the
rest of the crew were missing. The YER
dict of the coroner fixes the responsible
| ity of the collision upon Conductor Con
rad and Engineer Heeney.
1t is said that Conductor Conrad and
Engineer Heeney of No 81 were seen
going in the direction of the state line,
and it is thought that they are now in
hiding in New York state. The others
of the crew who are missing are proba-
| bly, frightened and hiding, but as they
are not responsible for the accident they
| will doubtless soon show themselves.
All three of the men who were killed
| live at East Hartford. They are:
William F. Day, aged 80, engineer;
James Lannan, aged 26, fireman.;
George E. Sprague, aged 81, all of train
No 700, eastbound. Mr. Day was married
| ABOUT TOUR months ago. MIR Sprague
| leaves wife and five children. Mr.
Lannan leaves no family. The bodies of
all three were brought to East Hartford
last night on the $50 train. Mr.
Sprague's family is left entirely desti-
tute. The youngest of five children is
only two or three weeks old. "..~
The injured man is Charles Stevens.
He was head brakeman on the west
bound train, No 81, and was the only
man on that train injured His head
was cut and he had some bruises on his
body and legs. He was taken to the
Danbury hospital where he will have to
remain for a few days, but it is not
thought that his INJURIES are serious.
