White Scours In Lambs.

The American Sheep Breeder says:
One Of the most prevalent diseases In
young lambs is that commonly known
as the white scours, form Of diarrhea
due to indigestion Of the ewes milk,
which is passed through the bowels
with very little change. This is one of
those common instances of the we'll
known fact that young animal suffers
from the disease of it's dam, due to the
milk conveying the disease by it's I'M
wholesome character. This trouble in
the flock is mostly at time when the
ewes are turned on the grass for the
first time, and the young and immature
heritage has not sufficient nutriment in
1t, but too much water, and turns sour
In the stomach Of the eve. Necessari-
ly, this affects the milk, the poisonous
matter passing off from the eve in this
way without affecting her in any
marked way. And thus the lambs suf-
fer while the dams escape. Prevention
Is always the safest in a flock, and to
avoid long feeding on a rank growth
of young grass, especially on a rich or
moist soil, and gradual change from
dry feed to green grass, will always be
a safeguard against this disorder, which
If not quickly suppressed, will kill or
the lambs in few hours after they are
taken with it.

Use Parchment Paper.

Mr.. Hardin gives dairymen the fol-
lowing good advice in Home and Farm:
If you sell butter, make in brick-shape
prints, with your initials stamped in 1t
or some other mark. Wrap each print
in parchment paper. This Is cheaper
than cloth and keeps the butter bet
ter, besides many purchasers are sus-
picious of what use the cloths may
have been put to before using. Cheese
cloth is cheap, but the butter sticks to
1t. Parchment paper Is cheap. neat,
and presents handsome appearance,
and comes of clean. It Is impervious
to brine and will hold the butter If 1t
melts. Brick-shaped prints pack closely
together, SO the air cannot get at the
butter, and they will take up less room
than any other shape. They are easy
to cut from for putting on the table,
as a whole pound Is too much for that
use. Nothing sells butter like neat
appearance, so it pays well to take trou-
BILE with 1t. Build up trade In this
way and it will never depart from
you.

English Literary Pensions.

Only $4,000 year is available for ad-
ditions to the civil list pensions of the
British government, and this sum can
not be exceeded, so that 1t is not posi-
ole to make many additions to the list
In any one year, or to pay very large
pensions. The usual amount of these
pensions is $500 year, but this amount
Is sometimes varied, though rarely In
creased. Among the new grants to lit
srary people this year, are $3.50 each to
the two sisters of Walter Eater, $500 to
The widow Of Philip Gilbert Hamerton,
and the same amount to William Wat
son, the poet. George Augustus Sala
gets the same sum, and so does Prof.
Balm, the metaphysician and psycholo.
gist, and Prof. Nieholl and DR.. Guns.
oerg, who are pensioned as great schol-
ars, Oriental and Biblical. A similar
pension Is given to DR.. Jabez Hogg for
oils services to medicine and science.

INSECTS FRIENDLY TO MAN.
One Destroys plight\ and Another Is

One Destroys Biightt and Announcer ~
Death to M4,quitoes,
The lady bird, so quantity marked
that it is hard to findtwo Of them Just
alike. is one of the gardeners best
friends, yet hundreds otthem are killed
because people in their ignorance don't
know what helper they have In THIS
buxom little insect. A few days ago
the writer visited friend who mas
garden full of all sorts Of flowers, ana
back of these there is the kitchen gar
den, with rows of currants and rasp-
berry bushes. The leaves of both these
shrubs were covered with blight or lice
that were as green as the leaves on
which they lived and thrived. Hunt
ing about the bushes were number OF
lady birds. The woman In her ignor-
ance was killing these right and left'
thinking they were doing all the dam
age, and when told they were her best
friends was incredulous. A few min
utes' careful watching, however,
showed the small bug busy eating the
smaller green pest. Small yellow pyra-
mids showed where she had laid her
eggs, which in a day or two would
hatch. The woman saw and believed,
and in future the lady bird has sure
refuge and a welcome in her patch OF
flowers and fruit. Another insect that
Is forever being killed, owing to the
ignorance Of the general public, Is the
dragon fly, also known as the needle
case. He is one of the most useful in
sects of this climate. In his larval
state he subsists almost entirely on
those small sQuirming threads which
can be seen darling about In any still
water, and which hatch out into the
sweet singing mosquito. AS soon as
the dragon fly leaves his watery nurs-
ing ground, and, climbing some friend
| ly reed, throws away the old shell and
flies away, he Is helping man again.
His quarry is now the house fly. Not
long ago the writer saw one of these
insects knocked down in veranda,
where he had been doing yeoman's SER
vice, and the children and women
seemed delighted, although they shrank
back from the poor wounded dragon
fly. They all thought he had an awful
sting at the end of his long body,
cruel injustice When the writer took
the insect up there was general wonder
ment, which was increased when a cap
tured fly was offered him, and he ate
1t greedily. The boys Of that household
will never harm dragon fly again.

In-breeding.-There are some poul-
try keepers who inbred their flock
from year to year, and say it Is not in
furious. Why should 1t not be danger
Gus in fowls when 1t is in the human
race and In stock Of all kinds? Why Is
1t that new breed generally
claims that 1t is unusually
hard? Is 1t not from the
fact that new blood has been infused to
make it? Are not new breeds the re-
suits Of experiments in crossing? And
is not crossing the uniting of two dis
tinct bloods? All these matters need
serious consideration. And when we
are told by men who have made the
matter a study that in-breeding Is a
constitutional danger, Is it not time
to be on the lookout? II we breed for
strictly hardy parents, and IL we
change blood in the males every year or
two, we can get up strain of fowls
that will replace the stock we so often
get from the yards of the noted fanciers.
We are becoming better acquainted
with this fact each season.-The Inde-
pendent.

Dogs as Beasts of Burden,

In this country the dog is, in nine
cases out of ten, the master Of the man,
writes the Brussels correspondent of the
Baltimore News. In continental Europe
the reverse Is the case, the dog there
being too often the martyr of the man.
In Belgium is this especially noticeable,
for one Of the first things that i'm
presses the stranger in Brussels Is the
immense number of dogs employed in
drawing barrows and small carts about
the streets. In that city alone over
ten thousand dogs are so engaged, and
the total number of draught dogs in
the whole country is probably not less
than fifty thousand.
Generations of servitude have made
the Belgian dog race apart. For his
size he Is said to possess the greatest
pulling power of any animal, four times
his own weight being considered load
well within his power. Taking his aver
age weight as half hundred weight,
this means that something like 5000
tons are daily dragged about by canine
labor in Belgium.
The economic Importance of the Bel
gian dog and his inability to give eff
fective expression to his own griev-
ances, have caused the Royal Society
for the Protection of Animals to I'M
dertake an agitation for the ameliora-
ton of his lot. 1t Is urged that the
animals are frequently overloaded and
often cruelty treated, and that in many
cases they are given no opportunity for
resting when the cart or barrow Is not
actually in motion. Among the reforms
demanded are CD the abolition Of the
whip and severe penalties against
the brutal practice of kicking
tired-out dogs; (2) the raising
of the minimum shoulder height
for dogs of burden from twenty
to twenty-five inches; (3) a penalty
against drunkenness when in charge
and against the employment of children
as drivers, and (4 the compulsory ar
rangement of harness and shafts SO as
to permit the animals to lie down when
the vehicle is at rest. Although there
is no demand as yet by either the dogs
or their biped friends for an eight-hour
law, there can be no doubt that the
adoption Of these planks in the platform
of canine emancipation will be hailed
with gratitude throughout weary dog
dom in the domain of King Leopold.

where a Bogus Coin Was Handy.

Sometimes" says a Philadelphia
oarkeeper, "a bad coin is very good
thing to have. We had a brass 10-cent
piece here for two years that was worth
81 a week to the bar. knew the man
from whom 1t was taken, and, of course
gave it back in change. He was good
customer before, but better afterward.
Ten times week he would come In
and either give me that brass coin or
get 1t given to him. One day the pro-
prietor looked through the drawer and
hnding the bogus piece threw 1t away.
When I told him 1t was worth $50 a
year to the house he kicked himself.
We not only lost the coin, but GUS
toner as we'll. He felt hurt because
couldn't give him our pet piece"

Light Brahmas.-The light Brahma
fowls are practical fowls, and the
Yankee farmer or poultry man stands

can excel them. They fatten very cas-

Brahma hen is a non-layer, and Of no
