BATTLE IN BRAZIL.
10000 Fanatics, All Wen Armed, Attack
Troops.

New York. July 31.-A dispatch from
formation has reached that city TO the
effect that more than 5000 soldiers
have been killed in big battle near
the site of Canador.
The fanatics numbering 10, 900 men
all well-armed, attacked the govern
ment troops. Whole brigades of the
soldiers were swept down and des-
troyed, trampled under foot as the vic
torious fanatics with wild hoarse
shouts of triumph passed over them
The full extent of the loss of life can
not be told, There is no reasonable
doubt, however, that the loss in killed
on both sides is more than 5000. For
miles the ground around Canador is
strewn with the dead and dying. The
government troops were compelled to
leave their dead on the field and flee to
save themselves from complete des-
truction by the great avalanche of fan
atics.
When the report reached Rio de Ja-
neiro it was considered by the preSi-
dent and ministry, and it was decided
to send the minister of war to the
scene next week with 10000 men. now
gathering. They viii carry with them
a great store of ammunition and will en-
deavor to dislodge the fanatics from
the positions they now hold
Fighting has been in progress at
Canador for several weeks. In the
meantime, while the fanatics fought
apparently with little heart, they have
directions The result was the final
attack on the government troops which
led to such awful results.

Practical sheep Husbandry.

Young animals cannot digest solid
teeth through. 1t will be wise to avoid
feeding young lambs any grain until
they are thus far advanced, Gays
American Sheep Breeder. A little meal,
salted, may be given, however, by the
hand, to tame them, and prepare them
for feeding in this way by and by. 1t
Is good thing to have good fresh
COW on hand when the young lambs
are appearing. A few drinks OF the
new milk may save many lamb Lat
er in the season preparations should be
made for good supply of cabbage
and turnips for the flock These are
for next winters feeding, when they
will go far to keep the flock healthy.
1t Is a wise precaution to separate the
lambs from the older sheep as soon as
possible, to avoid the infection of the
young things by the numerous para
sites carried by the old sheep. These.
by their greater natural hardness, do
not suffer from them as the weaker
lambs will Some ewes are poor milk
ers, for, although the feeding may be
the same. some will milk better than
others. But we may be sure the milk
Is made from the food, and some extra
good feed may help the eve to do bet
ter. This is a point to be taken note
of by the shepherd, so that the less pro-
ductlYe ewes may be helped out with
more liberal supply OF feed. Alter
nate pastures are great help to the
flock Sheep love change, and natural
ly are wandering in their habits. A
freshened pasture, therefore, will great
ly help them as a change now aad

and that it possesses more fattening
qualities than corn. In the Carolinas

purchased from one-fourth to one-half
cent per pound and is largely used as
a feed in those sections. Poultry men
within easy reach of the southern or
gulf seaboard ean thus get a cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in

will check II " hen produced by other
