i1is most destructive pest of sheep
= = dat worm about quarter of an
inch Ia length, and sometimes much
larger. 1t is taken up by the sheep in
water in which certain kind of snail
- found, or in low ground with the
grass on which this snail may crawl.
This snail is the first bearer of the
fiuke, 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 snails
and enter their bodies. The snails
are swallowed in every possible way
by the sheep, and the eggs or young
worms pass from the stomach to the
gall, bladder, or the gall ducts, where
they stay, feeding on the mucous of the
gall. 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 a
yellow appearance of the eyes, as in
jaundice, by reason of the gall mix
ing with the blood. In time the sheep
becomes thin, the wool falls off, and
it appears miserable object, and in
time dies. There is remedy that
never fails to relieve the sheep; this
is turpentine given in 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 i'll wet
land. Salt freely given twice week
is also valuable preventive. Sheep
pastured on salt meadows are not sub
ject to the disease, as the worm cam
not live in salt water, or rather the
snail which bears it cannot. New
York Times.

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

FOND OF COWBOY SADDLES.
English and Germans Buy Much of the

English and Germans Buy Much of the
Finest Goods Made in Cheyenne.
All over North America for many
years Cheyenne saddles have been
famous, and every equestrian, out
side Of the United States cavalry
and Of the northwest mounted police
OF Canada, has either had his horse
tricked out with Cheyenne leather or
has wished he had. The fancy work
on saddles, holsters and stirrup hoods
that once made Mexican saddlery
famous and expensive long ago was
copied by the Cheyenne makers, who
kept up the fame and beauty OF
American horse trappings, but made
them 50 cheap as to be within the
means of most horsemen. In the old
days when Western cattle ranged all
over the plains and the cowboy was
in his glory, that queer citizen would
rather have Cheyenne saddle than
best girl. In fact, to be without a
Cheyenne saddle and f1rst-class re-
volyer was to be no better than the
sheepherders Of that era When a
reporter Of the New York Sun found
himself in Cheyenne the other day
the first places he looked for were the
saddle-makeFs' shops He was sur
prised to find only one snowy, first
class store Of the kind, and instead
of there being crowd in front OF it
there was no sign Of more business
than was going at the druggists,
near By, or the statiOner's over the
way. In one way only did the re-
porter find his hopes rewarded: the
goods displayed in the windows were
beautiful and extraordinary. There
we're the glorious heavy hand-stamped
Iaddles; there were the huge, cum
brous tapaderos; there were the
lariats or ropes" the magnificent
bits that looked like Moorish art
tutdone, and there were the mule
skiuners" and the fanciful spurs, and,
In short, the windows formed a mu-
scum Of things that cowboy would
have pawned his soul to own. The
metal work was all such as cavalry
man once declared it, "the most eie-
CANT horse jewelry in creation" En-
glishmen and Germans now buy the
fanciest ana the best trappings to
send abroad to their homes. Hand
stamped saddles cost from $50 to SIS,
but S35 buys as goJd a one as a mod
est man who knows good thing will
care to use. Cowgirl saddles were on
view-seyen of them-with rigging

PERrrL1zrNa BY ELECTRICITY.

In answer to inquiries made through
vi. Pellissier, Superintendent of the
French electrical exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, pamphlet has been
forwarded to the editor of the Orange
Judd Farmer treating of the recent
interesting experiments made by Frere
Paulin, Director of the Agricultural
Institute of Beauvais. This gentleman
claims to have discovered a method of
receiving the electrical fluid from the
air and transmitting the same under
meath the surface of the ground to
various crops. The result, as record
ed, goes to show that plant growing
under the influence of this collected
electricity shows greater vigor, larger
yield and earlier maturity. In many
cases, corresponding plants, the one
supplied by electricity and the other
without, show marked difference in
favor of the former and especially SO
in the experiments with spinach and
oats.

increased, and of course nitrogen
either in its free form or in its com.
pound of ammonia, is most import
ant element of plant growth, giving
strength, color and general vigor. So
far as this is concerned Frere Paulin's
experiments seem perfectly rational.
The question is, how the electric cur.
rent is to be distributed among the
plants. The method employed by the
French scientist is as follows: A
wooden pole forty to sixty feet high is
set up, preferably with the lower end
in cement, its surface previously
smeared with tar to prevent decay.
At its top five-pronged point is
fastened, being insulated by means OF
porcelain cap on the pole. To the
bottom of the points No. 90 wire is
fastened and run into the ground, be.
ing kept from the pole by means OF
glass insulators. About one foot be.

fit? If so, his name should appear on

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Study the characteristics of the sue
cessful producing dams.
A horse that is ruined in breaking
does not generally get over it.
Owners want to learn to sell the
first time fair price is offered.
Mares with the most nerve force
produce the fastest trotters and PAGERS.
When frost glitters in the stable the
COWS will be poor before the summer
time.
1t is safer to exercise youngsters in
harness than to turn them Loose in the
icy fields.
Let the COW frisk in the open air
once in awhile; continuous stable life
is not good for her.
A hen in her prime and properly
cared for will produce three times her
weight in eggs yearly
Give the COW water once day at
least in winter, and always fresh from
the well never ice cold.
Fresh eggs are heavier than the old
ones. Therefore, when put in water,
the older ones will float higher.
If butter is to be held for any length
of time it had better be frozen, as in
that state it holds its flavor longer.
The winter dairyman ought not to
neglect having a supply of ensilage.
Roots will do, but ensilege is better.
In France, the greatest and most
successful poultry raising country, all
market fowls, dead or alive, are
bought and sold by weight.
Why does thunder sour milk? asks
subscriber. We do not know
that it does. 1t is believed that the
thunder has nothing to do with it,
but that the climatic conditions in
which thunder occurs favor the de.
velopment of bacteria.
Within the last thirty-fve years the
average weight of feeces produced in
the United States has doubled. This
is due to the fact that the sheep have
been better cared for in every way
than formerly and more intelligently
managed, especially with reference &c
breeding.

ARRANGEMENT OF FIELDS AND PASTURES

-AA'AfNAAfNi'AHtsANL
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 be almost entirely
dispensed with, facilitating cultiva-
tion, 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, pasturing
arabic land will gradually cease.
30 long as pasturing is continued
every pasture should be provided with
an abundance of pure, sweet, living
water. A flowing stream is generally
considered very desirable in pasture,
but creek often renders good deal
of land unfit for cultivation. 1t gem
orally pursues a tortuous course, has
more or less wet, marshy margin, and
is not an economical method of water
ing stock. A we'll with windmill and
pump has recommendations, though
where water can be brought from a
spring and flow into penstock the
best conditions are afforded. In
either pump or penstock, the overflow
should be conducted away by 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.
