THE LIVER r1uKE n SHEEP.

This most destructive pest of sheep
is fiat worm about q quarter of an
inch in length, and sometimes much
larger. 1t is taken up by the sheep in
water in which q certain kind OF snail
is found, or in low ground with the
grass on which this snail may crawl.
This snail is the first bearer Of the
Ruke. which is known as distoma he
patica. The fuke lays its eggs in
moist places or in water after it Is
voided by the sheep, and the young
worms attach themselves to the suails
and enter their bodies The Snails
are swallowed in every possible way
bv the sheep, and the eggs or young
worms pass from the stomach to tho
gall, bladder, or the gall ducts, where
they stay, feeding on the mucus ofthe
call. This interference with the func-
ton of the liver, which is the most
important Of the digestive organs,
greatly Injuries the sheep, and causes
the special symptoms by which the
disease is recognized, as the swollen
watery bag under the jaws, pale
skin. or sometimes at the beginning
yellow appearance Of the eyes, rs IN
iaundice, by reason of the gall mix
inc with the blood. In time the sheep
becomes thin. the wool falls off, and
it appears miserable object, end in
time dies. There Is remedy that
never fails to relieve the sheep; this
is turpentine given i'll linseed oil,
one part Of turpentine to three Of oil,
given in doses of three tablespoonfuls
every fourth day. The turpentine
kills the worms, and the oil elects
them from the sheep by the bowels.
To avoid this disorder the sheep
should be supplied with water from
wells. and should never pasture III wet
land. Salt freely given twice a week
is also a valuable preventive. Sheep
pastured on salt meadows are not sub
iect to the disease, as the worm can
not live in salt water, or rather the
snail which bears it cannot New

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
WHEN TO CUT OATS FOR FODDER

WIEN ~ IVA 49," ~-
Any one of the grains grown upon
farms is in us best state for feeding to
cattle when it is in full blossom. AT
this stage of growth any plant contains
the most nutriment in the most di-
gestible condition, and thus when oats
IS grown for fodder the crop is cut just
when the plants are passing out of the
towering and the seed is not yet
formed. Then the nutritious matter
is contained in the whole plant, and it
becomes better fitted for feeding than
if the greater part of the nutriment
had left the straw and become cOncen-
trated in the grain. The same is true
of all kinds of grass, and the common
grains are grasses. New York Times.
ARRANGEMENT OF FIELDS AND PASTURES.
A farm divided into large fields, es-
pecially into long ones, can be cult
waited to best advantage with least loss
of time in turning at ends with plows
and machines. In the ideal farm
division, fences will he almost entirely
dispensed with, facilitating cultiva-
ton, saving for tillage the land occu-
pied by fences, also saving the great
expense of building and repairing
fences. The time has hardly arrived
in this country for the general adop-
ton of the practice OF soiling stock.
When it shall become necessary to
economic in the use of land, when
population shall begin to crowd upon
the means of subsistence, pasturlng
arabic land will gradually cease.
SO long as pasturing is continued
every pasture should be provided with
an abundance of pure, sweet, living
water. 4 flowing stream Is generally
considered very desirable in a pasture,
but Il creek often renders a good deal
of land unfit for cultivation. 1t gen
orally pursues a tOrtuous course, has
more or less wet, marshy margin, and
is not an economical method Of water
ing stock. 4 well with a windmill and
pump has recommendations, though
where water can he brought from a
spring and flow into a penstock the
best conditions are afforded. In
either pump or penstock, the overflow
should be conducted away 10y an I'M
derdrain. No good farmer will suffer
his stock to depend upon slough or
swamp water, or to drink at filthy,
stagnant pools. Such water must
necessarily affect the health of stock
and the wholesomeness of their
products. American Agriculturist.
