THE STOCK RANCH.
Tame Worm in Sheen.

Reports from the West indicate that
many sheep, especially lambs, are
being + He'd by tape-wormS.
The writer lost several sheep from
this cause before il was generally known
that sheep were troubled in that way.
Lambs sometimes die in a few DAYS ai-
ter the first symptoms appear, but sheep
that have GOT their growth will hn-er
fur months and sometimes a year. They
appear dUli and stupid, stand with their
heads up and eyes VIDE open. but show
no desire to keep with the flock. They
grow poor and weak and finally die
with The appearance Of having starved
to death. As there is but little hope of
saving sheep that shows these symp-
toms from any cause the best way IS TO
kill them and see that they are deeply
buried; or. If medicines are to be tried,
put the patient in pen where the eXcre-
mont can be scrap"d Hp and destroyed.
TURKEYS are frequently troubled with
tape worms and show about the same
symptoms n sheep, tat they are more
likely 10 get rid Of Thorn and recover,
aud Il they run over the sheep pasture
may spread the trouble in that way.

German
Syrup"

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontlne
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and Sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consum ptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses BosChee's
German Syrup, and it cures HIM
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles. and would therefore be most
particular as TO the medicine he used.
What is his opinion Listen " |

more than hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
ME that it is the best cough syrup

| Iart of the lot. | notice particularly
| where this is and when the wheat IS
! drawn to the barn, this is taken last and
! put by itself on top of the hay. Then 1t
| is thrashcd first and my own seed saved
| from it. NY soil is not uniform in quail
| ity. One could find spots yielding at the
rate of, say, from twenty-five up TO fifty
| bushels per acre. Seldom is there year,
l think, when | can not pick out half
acre that will yield at the rate of from
twenty to twenty-five bushels, or twice
that amount per acre.
But, now, where does the plumpest
wheat grow? Where do | find the larg-
est berries? In the thin spots every
time. Where do / find berries Of large
| average size, and more or less Shrunken
! some years? In the richest parts of the
| field, where the growth is great, and the
| crop more or less lodged. If we thrash
| the grain and mix it and then grade out
| the largest berries, we shall be likely TO
| get most of our seed from the parts of
the field that yielded the least. Is the
! plump individual berry the best one to
SOW, without regard to the conditions
under which it grew? This is what
| would like TO know for a certainty from
a series of careful experiments Prof.
for US.
/ take the wheat from the best half
acre and run it through the fanning-mill
in such Il way as to take out merely the
screcnings-the very small and badly
Shrunken grains. IN most seasons these
would amount to one bushel out of from
twenty to forty. All grains of fair size
are left in the seed. Perhaps you ask:
Why not grade the wheat from the best
half-acre? Well, which heads contained
| the largest grains-thc small ones with
few kernels, or the longer ones that had
twice as many? | have thought for some
years that the former did, and | do not
the others. If it were practical to select
the best heads from the best halF-aCrc,
and then the best berries from them, |
would like to do so: but. as far rs my
present knowledge goes, / do not care 10
grade my seed from the best of the field,
except to take out the very poorest. |
have not jumped at this conclusion as q
matter of theory, for it is the result OF
good deal of observation, and still pre-
sumo that nine farmers out of ten who
go out to buy seed wheat would select
fine, plump grain, from a field which had
yielded twenty or twenty-iiv" bushels per
acre. rather than an notwithstanding
| article somewhat smaller and perhaps Il
little shrunkcn. from a field which th"y
knew had Welded thirty-iiyc or forty
bushels per acre.

ALWAYS AT FUNERALS
A Savannah Woman Who Follows The
HeRrAe.

He0rSe.
| A Savannah woman is all funerals
She Is stranger, and she has a strange
mania to be where there is grief. At
! first she attracted little or no attention,
4 but as she was seen at funeral after fu-
neral, and!never ID company with any
/ one, inquiries began to be made about
| her. Then 1t began to dawn upon, those
/ who noticed her that nobody knew her,
and that she was taking in" the funerals
simply because she found a pleasure in
/ doing SO. At first she dressed in colOrs
and then IN half mourning. ont now she
/ appears in full mourning costume, even
/ TO the long, thick, black veil
! She IS among the first to appear at the
/ house of mourning and among the first
/ TO reacn the carriage when the move
/ ment toward the cemetery is made.
/ And she is always DESTROYS to get a
/ glimpse Of the faces of the mournerS
And TO CRAFTY her desire in this respect
she sometimes pushes her way vigor-
! ously through the assembled company.
At recent funeral she occupied q
| carriage with three ladies. She asked
! so many questions about the deceased
and conducted herself so queerly that
| the ladies were afraid TO return to the
| city from the cemetery with her. She
| tired to persuade them to occupy the
carriage with her, but they refused, and

A SEN SIBLE PRESIDENT.

Admiral Montt seems to have an entire
ly level head on his shoulders, and in these
troublesome times Chilli needs level heads
more than gunboats or troops. Admiral
hontt will accept the presidency of the
republic, he says, but refuses to make any
party pledges whatever. The people
need not expect him TO follow "any
particular plan of political action" but
must leave him entirely free to formulate
his policy according to the different
sets of circumstances which may
arise. He will not be partisan on
either the conservative or the liberal side,
but will accept the acts and votes of con-
gress as indicating what the majority of
the people want. In other words, if the
Shilians don't like the men whom they
have elected to congress they must recall
some other way to make their wishes
known. IF Admiral Mont can persuade
himself to rigidly adhere TO that course it
is very likely that the fires kinded by
revolution will subside and the Chilians
drop back into their old ways and their
old prosperity at very early date.
