Ringgold, Va.
We quote from publications OF the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture:
"Kidney-Worm (Sclerostoma Pinguicola
Verrill 1S7o)-There is no method OF treat
ment to be suggested for this para
site. and II Is practically impossible to
make a positive diagnosis OF Its presence
In hogs, except by pcst-mortem examina-
ton. 'hidney-worm disease, as used
by farmers, covers many disorders. The
life history OF the parasite Is not def
nitely known. but infection probably
takes place through drinkiug-water and
food. which have become contaminated
with eggs of this parasite. Accordingly.
the introduction of the worm into hogs
can be greatly lessened. and perhaps.
entirely prevented. by using clean troughs
In watering and feeding, and they should
never be allowed access to pools or
ponds.
"Gapes In Fowls (Syngamosis. Caused
BY Worm Known as Syngamus Ira
chealis).--Fowls become infected by swat
lowing the eggs leach OF which con-
tains an embryo), or the free embryos In
drinking-water or In the food. They may
also become infected by swallowing the
adult female parasite containing ripe
egxs), which other fowls have coughed
up: but the idea that the parasite must
first pass into an earth-worm before 1t
can develop in chickens 10 erroneous.

so as to give the men time to deliver

mence reading In the Third District

that while the dates on the bill read ior

March 3D." the state Of the meter was
read not later than the 18th of March.
Therefore, every consumer burns re"

As to the legality OF the penalty. we
refer our querist to sections 2S. 80, and rs
NJ the city ordinance. Now. whether this
penalty conflicts with the State law estao-
fishing the rate OF interest. ETC., is legal
question, which demands fuller invesu-
CATION than we can give now.

FORT MONROE, Va, April 2S.-The
Old Dominion Line steamer Wyanoke
while coming to her dock at Newport
News at 8 o'clock this morning, col
lided with the United States cruiser
Columbia, which was lying out in the
stream, and sunk in about 80 minutes.
The crew and passengers were
all saved and taken ashore. Several
of her crew were injured. The dam
ages sustained by the Columbia con-
sist of o hole two feet in diameter on
the port side ten feet above the water
line, an indentation of one plate on the
side opposite the hole, and the tempo
rary loss of one anchor and forty-five
fathoms of chain. The Wyanoke was
valued at $4,000 and was partially in
sured.
There were ono hundred and seven psssen-
gers on board the Wyanoke and crew Of
forty-two men. Boats were at once lowered
from both vessels. Captain Janery with the
crew of the Wyanoke and number of pas
SINGERS went ashore. while others were taken
ABOARD tho Columbia. The Wyanoke struck
ne Columbia with such force as to awaken
all the passengers and crew, and it is thought
no lives were lost. Tho Wyanoke lies in
about forty feet of water and can no doubt be

fight, the dispatch says, has had good
effect in rendering the Matabeles less
aggressive.
