OUR CHRISTMAS DAYS, ARTHUR S. "It Is the Christmas time; ~s And up and down twixt Heavenand earth
 Tn glorious grief and solemn fpirth, N
 The shining angels climb" fMuloch.
 A. J. Smiths paper began: Christmas Is, we think, She happiest day of alrthe year for the children and, as we grow older in years and experience, we never lose our interest in this most delightful of days, made more significant, no doubt, on account of it's holy associations. The charm Is explained, perhaps, when we consider that people are looking outside of self and selfish interests and, by sim- pie gifts of love and affection, filling other lives with joy and happiness. Ser vice of this character, cheerfully render cd, always returns to the original source, sWeetened and beautified.

OF FAMILY ODE, TUNE, DOxoLoGY. Blessed be the ties of kindred dear, Which bind us to each other near, Fit symbol of the Heavenly love, Where souls are one in Christ above. Kept by Gods care through all the way, We meet to thank His name to-day; May peace, and joy, and friendship sweet, Abide to make our feast complete. In toll, in care, in shade or sun,
 God guide and keep and bless each one, Till we are gathered on that shore, Where we shall meet to part no more.

Dlsense and Death Caused Among Farm
Animals of Every kiud.


Animals % Every kind.
II is As important that our stock
Should be- supplied with pure water M
Il is for mankind. Many farmers have
been careless in this matter. II Is q
mistake even 10 allow cattle to drink
merely muddy aud black swampy
water. The cleaner and better the
water the -bettcr for the stock This
Is especially important for dairy cows.
But that positive disease and death
resulting should come from the drink
ing Of bad water few farmers have been
prepared TO believe. II is. however. a
well established fact. As giving light
on This subject may be mentioned some
experiments aud examinations by Dr.
Stalker. veterinarian Of the Iowa ex.
pertinent station. During the latter
part OF tho summcrof 1890 he was called
70 investigate "A severe outbreak Of dis
ease. Horses, cattle and pigs were all
affected alikc-swclling and partial
paralysis Of the upper air passages.
painful and difficult breathing. Death
cnsned about two days after the attack.
The doctor could not classify the dis
ease and set about 10 find the cause
lie found everything all right but the
water supply. which came from wind
ing creek. which In the dry weather
had ceased to run. He found that il
had been the custom on the farm to
throw the carcasses Of animals down
the steep bluffs into the bed OF the
stream; that during the summer chick
en- cholera had prevailed on the farm
ard a large number had dicd and been
thrown over the bank that the hog
cholera had caused the death Of a con-
siderable number Of swine. the car
casses having been treated in similar
manner. The several yards occupied by
horses, cattle, pigs and barnyard fowls
were on the hillside with abrupt drain
age into the creek.
In addition. large heaps Of fcrmcnt-
i manure were deposited about the
f,,,t OF the hill near the edge of the
stream, where the animals went to
drink. A few of the animals on the
farm had not access to the stream. but
had been watcrcd from well. None
Of these showed signs OF sickness.
though they had been in contact with
those that had their water from the
pools in the bed OF the stream, and even
with some of the sick.
A number Of farmers had built their
homes along the banks Of this stream,
and had been accustomed to make use
Of ii in much the same way as the
farmer above referred to. On no less
than four farms situated on the banks
Of this stream animals had died show
ing symptoms identical with those on
the farm firstinvestigated. On another
occasion where high rate Of mortality
had prevailed among the cattle running
on the open prairie. he was able TO
trace the cause to contamination OF
surface water. An animal dead from
anthrax had been drawn into basin
on the open prairie Later the rains
filed the basin with water. and about
one thousand cattle on the range had
access to the pond for water supply.
The result was that about ten per cent.
Of all the animals having access To the
impure water died from anthrax
