TIE SHEEP TAPEWORM.

Sheep are infected by species OF
tapeworm which exists in the brain, but
in its larva stage only. The mature
worm inhabits the dog, and it is due to
the presence of the dog that sheep be-
come infected. Indeed, both animals
are necessary 10 the existence of this De r
aslte, which is known as Cnnurus cere.
bralis, and also as Hydatus cerebralis,
because it is enclosed in watery blad-
der which is found in the sleeps brain
just under the skull. This creature has
several heads, each Of which is armed
with circle of hooks by which it is at
tached to the CO 7ering membrane of the
brain, and sucking disk, by which it
draws in its nutriment. AS it increases
in size it causes pressure on the brain,
the result of which is a disturbance of
the nervous functions and the irregular
movements of the animal, which are
well known to indicate the existence of
the parasite in the sheep. The sheep
turns around on one side or the other as
either side of the brain may be affected
by the injury, or if the centre of the
brain is affected the sheep raises its head
and stumbles forward.
The sheep take in the eggs of the
rapeworm that are discharged by the
logs on the grass, and these being swal-
lowed are Matched in the sleeps stom-
ach. The young worms then penetrate
the tissues into the veins, by which they
find their way to the capillaries of the
brain, where they lodge and grow to
their intermediate stage, often attaining
size of two inches, including the blad-
der and its liquid contents. Some vet
erinarians who have had sufficient ex-
perience are able by the symptoms above
mentioned to locate the bladders, and
either puncture them, and so destroy the
worm, when the bladder becomes alb
so1bed without injury, or they open the
skull by trepanning and remove the in
truder. When a sheep thus diseased
dies, which is the most frequent result,
and the carcass is left to the dogs, the
immature worms are swallowed, and ma
ture in the dog, to be voided from time
to time in the usual segments, that are
filled with eggs, and these are picked up
by the sheep. Those under two years
old are most subject to the parasite. -

LITTLE PLAQUES.

It is a singular fact that the most for
midable enemies OF man are among the
smallest of created things. A devastat
ing storm extending over half a con.
tinent, a furious cyclone, an earthquake,
seem more terrible than the work of an
almost microscopic insect; yet the actual
amount of injury done by any OF these
gigantic forces is often of very slight
account compared with the damage
wrought by one or more of the Infinitely
little" but innumerable, hosts that do
their fatal work unheard and unseen.
Consider, for example, what vast mis-
chief has been done by the Hessian fly,
the clinch bug, the army worm, the
Goblin moth and other pests of the field
and orchard. And sometimes the ut
most efforts of man are utterly without
avail TO stay the ravages Of these tiny in
vaders. They march across his fields of
waving grain like san army with ban
nefs" and leave waste behind. It is,
IN fact, the most serious of all agricul-
tural problems which is presented by
these insect foes. Fight them how we
will they ''come up smiling" every few
seasons to plague the farmers soul and
deplete his pocket. .->.' = =.
1t is calculated that the Colorado
beetle has cost the farmers of this country
hundreds of millions of dollars since it
began its eastward march. The clinch
bug has frequently robbed the Western
farmers of $50, 0O0,0 900 in a single year
by its destructive work in the wheat and
corn fields. The depredations of the
wheat weevil have sometimes reached
similar proportions, and for series of
years absolutely prevented the growing
of wheat in the fertile Genesee Valley,
so long famous for the superior quality
of its wheat product. The imported
cabbage worm has caused the loss OF
millions of dollars worth of that impor-
tant vegetable in single year.
And so it comes to pass that the farm
er's life is one of continual warfare to
protect his crops against these little foes

The Vermont creameries have adopted
the system of paying for milk according
to quality, or rather, amount of butter
fat in it. In June of last year the poor
est dairy received tifty-six cents per hun
dred pounds for milk, and the best one
eighty-one cents per hundred pounds.
In October last, at this same creamery,
the poorest milk brought ninety. two
cents, and the best 81. So per hundred
pounds. Does this not show that it paws

stantially lessened, If at all.
Take, for a familiar example, the cur
rant worm. In some localities, where
this wholesome fruit was formerly
grown In large quantities, it has been
practically given up on account OF the
ravages of the worm. Yet this pest is
suppressed with very little trouble by
the prompt application OF white helle-
bore. The trouble has been that while
one person would do his duty in sup
pressing the worms on his own bushes,
his next door neighbor would abandon
his to the tender mercies OF the worms,
which were left to breed in peace for an
other seasons foray on both plantations.

The same cooperative effort would &C
complish great things with many other
insect pests. Sometimes it is csential
for the State to undertake the work, as
in the case of black knot on cherry and
plum trees and the gypsy moth In Mas
sachusetts. But much might be accom-
plished by combined private enterprise,
aud it ought to be possible to awaken In
every agricultural community public
spirit which would make itself effective
for the suppression, so far as possible, of
all the "little plaques" that seriously
menace the farmers prosperity.

An Odd Fish.

A fisherman on Bone Island, small
island off the Virginia coast, made an
odd catch the other day. Seeing some
strengthening thing far out to sea
swimming toward the shore he put out
in boat toward it. 1t proved to be a
large steer. He assisted the animal as
we'll as he could and managed to get it
ashore, but more dead than alive. After
getting rest and refreshments, however,
the creature came around all right.
Where it came from is not known, but it
is supposed to have been washed off the
deck of some passing vesseI.-New Or

AS YEARS SLIP By.

AS years slip by, loves tendrils, one
By one, that grew as life begun.
And, twining, wrapped themselves around
The hearts deep center. are unwound
And torn aloof ere set OF sun.
Our days with troubled griefs o'errun
Like sumbeams that seem golden spun,
But cast their light mid shadows crowned
As years slip by.
We shrink from fallen blows that shun;
The cycled shaft of death we shun.
Our loved are borne from mortal bound,
From whence we catch no voice of sound:
We list and wait mid gloamings dim,
AS years slip by.

The reason why anything of red
color excites and infuriates the OK tribe
is because red is the complimentary color
of green, and the eyes of oxen being
long fixed upon the green heritage while
feeding, when they espy anything red it
impresses their sight with a. greatly in

What Fusion May Accomplish.

Minneapolis Times.
The Republican managers in this
state are working themselves into a
state OF mind over the possibility of a
flu sion of the Democratic and Peoples
party forces. And certainly, if there is
a reasonable probability OF snch COM
bination, there is abundant reason for
Republican distress. Such union of
forces has been effected in Kansas, and
the result of it will be tine wrestling of
the electoral vote of that state from the
Republicans in November next. A
similar union of the two parties, whose
common object is the overthrow of Re-
pubiicanism, would achieve the same
all-jiSportant result here in Minnesota.
There would be nothing homogeneous
or unprecedented in such a union. Flu
sion has played an important part in
the history of the United States. The
Republican party is itself a creature of
fusion. The Peoples party in Mime
sofa is in perfect accord with the DEM
ocracy on the tariff issue. and on gen.
eral lines OF reform. With its incidental
vagaries the Democratic party has moth
ing to do, nor would it Endorse them in
the act of cooperating with il for GER
tain common ends.
The combined force of the Democrats
and Alliance men in Minnesota at the
last state election exceeded that of the
Republicans by over $4,000 votes. 1t is
certain. therefore. that fusion among
the various anti-Republiean elements
would mean the inevitable loss of the
state this fall to the Republicans.
The dlssenters from Republican rule.
under various names, are unquestiona-
bly, in the majority, not only in Mime
sofa. but in nearly all of the doubtful
Western states. Fusion is fair and
honorable application of the principle
Of minority representation 1t is not a
trading away of principles, but an
equitable adjustment of representation.
1t is now evident that the fusion idea
will be utilized with powerful effect in
number of states. to unite all the
anti-Repubiican forces for the defeat of
common enemy in the coming national
struggle. 1t is possible, as ii would be
entirely reasonable, proper and prac-
teal, for the same elements in Mime
sofa to effect similar union with the
same great object in view.

MERELY A FAKE.
No Truth in the Story Of Local
Counterfeit Gang.

No Truth in the Story Of a Local
Counterfeit Gang.
The story printed yesterday morning
by ST. Paul paper, in which it is made
to appear that counterfeitiug gang is
at work in the neighborhood of the
Twin Cities, is fake, pure and simple.
Not only is it untrue that such a gang
is at work, but it is equally untrue that
there is any considerable amount
of spurious money in circulation
about ST. Paul. J. w. Lawrence,
United States inspector, said last
night that the story was nothing
more than sensational fake, worked
up from the bald fact that several per-
sons had had counterfeit money pass ed
upon them-SOmething that is occurring
every day in st. Paul, as we'll as other
large cities. A similar denial was
made at police headquarters. Detective
Werrick, who was sent to Denver Sat-
urday, went not Oh any counterfeiting
business. but at the request of Chief
Farley, OF that place, to assist In look
ing after the thieves who flock to such
gatherings as the Templar conclave.
There were wheels in the head of the
reporter who wrote the fake alluded to.

assuring all that the Saale had suffered
no injury, and that the peril had been
happily ayerted by the captain. Perfect
order was restored before the boats re-
turned with the crew of the bark. The
passengers of the Saale held meeting
and signed memorial to the captain,

havior and his presence of mind in
turning the Saale bow on, so that the
bark was prevented from striking her
