purging caused by the rape had ex-
PEELED them in September. Throughout
the month of April, thirteen of these
sheep were slaughtered, the viscera ex-
amined, and every sheep was found in
tested with fringed cestodes. These
parasites were most numerous in the
enlarged bile ducts Of the liver, and in
the small intestine near the oriice Of
the bile duct, which was usually so en-
larged as to easily admit an ordinary
lead pencil. A few Of the gall cysts
contained one or two of the cestoies.
In six sheep the pancreas was also in
tested, the fringed cestodes being found
far up in the pancreatic ducts, three
inches from the small intestine. The
condition of the sheep did not vary with
the relative number of these internal
parasites, some of the largest and fat
test sheep containing as many fringed
cestodes as the lighter weight sheep.
All of the sheep were so carefully fed
as to be thrifty and we'll nourished
throughout the experiment. This care,
with their rapid fall fattening, caused
their mutton to be of the best quality,
and by far the best obtainable in
Bookings this year. At later stages of
the trouble the sheep would have lost
flesh and the emaciated would have
thus been made unfit for eating. There
Is no proof that the fringed cestode in
tests human beings. The fringed ces-
tode resembles a liver fluke both in ap-
p%earance and effects. Both fatten a.

flat-worm, while a magnifying glass
shows the fringed cestode to be a joint
ed tapeworm, with fringes covering the
segments. Under liquid these fringes
may be seen by the unaided eye, and
are diagnostic. The viscera of the thir-
ty-one sheep slaughtered in Brookings,
during April, 1897, were examined.
Sixteen sheep which had been summer
fed on closely pastured prairie, and
watered from nearly dried-up ponds,
were found infested with the fringets
cestode. The other fifteen sheep had
grazed on abundant grass, had access
to a plentiful supply of pure water and
were entirely free from internal para.
sites. Thus the region near lakewood
Lakes was remarkable for it's exemption
from sheep parasites. The facts al
ready ascertained in this investigations
indicate that If the young lambs are
fed untainted food in troughs, or on
clean pastures, and given an abundance
of clean water, with a liberal supply Of
salt, there is little danger of their be-
coming infested with the fringed ces-
tode. AS it is generally believed that
more prairie sheep die during their first
winter from the effects Of the fringed

Cow Comfort.

One of the hardest things to impress
upon farmers is the value of comfort
to the COW, writes e. c. Bennett in
New York Produce Review. No mat
ter how well and wisely we feed, If the
COW is not comfortable she will not
eliminate a full mess OF milk. When
the COW is wet and chilled she uses the
food for warming herself, and what is
used in this way does not appear in
the milk pail. 1t is gone, radiated to
the wild prairie winds; lost forever. A
cold rain causes her to shrink in milk.
A raw wind dries her up. Foraging in
the stalk fields in winter will do more
harm than good. She must be where
the temperature approximates summer
temperature If she is to make milk as
she will in summer weather. Don't
send the cow to the fields for her feed
in cold weather; bring the feed to her.
Winter pastures are the delight OF the
horse raiser and the steer farmer, but a
delusion to the winter dairyman. Be
not deceived. The weather in winter
the COW must be sheltered from the
rain. snow and wind. NC matter how
much green grass you have out in the
winter pasture, the COW giving milk is
not the animal to turn out there to
eat it. She will do well at it for a
time. but soon will adjust herself to
the climate and fatten instead of con
,tinuing to fill the pail until spring.

Major General Miles has lust re-
turned to Washington after a five
months tour of Europe, during which
he studied the methods employed by
the European militia. One point noted
by General Miles was the large use
made in Europe of American
notably machine, rapid fire and small
guns. At Aldershot every one of the
British regiments that swept past in
review was followed by a machine gun
of American invention. The entire
British army was armed with a rifle
designed by an American. The gen
eral also says that the Germans have
quietly begun the purchase of a num-
Der of American machine guns. Rus
STA also uses American ideas in her
army, and it is believed by the gen.
eral that only the enormous expense
of making a change in the present sys-
tenn has operated to prevent the French
from adopting the same machine and
rapid-fre guns.

In Florida the other day two little
children while at play saw a moccasin
snake and tried to capture tit was
such a pretty thing. They are now
sleeping side by side, and two newly
made graves tell the sad story of the
end of two lives, which if lived might
give profit to the world. The sad af-
fair reminds us that there are other
serpents in this world that look Just
as nice, but in whose fangs there is a
deadly poison far more fatal than that
of the deadly moccasin snake. Grown
up men and women are, however, as
innocent of the danger as were the
little ones who thought the serpent so
pretty and nice to fondle. There is a
word of warning in the sad incident
recorded. Avoid the serpent in every
form. 1t has wiped the grandest ma
tons off the map. 1t makes quick
work of individuals.

Breed Horses systematically,

In monarchial countries the govern.
ment encourages the breeding of the
finest blooded stock by establishing ma
tional studs and placing selected stall
lions In agricultural districts. Here
such a plan would be looked upon as
unconstitutional, being paternal, and
individual effort must be relied upon to
meet the demand. Our breeders for
years have been mostly striving to get
race horses, and in consequence the
supply Of suitable animals for the car
riage, the saddle, the hunting field, and
even the cavalry has been comparative
ly exhausted. The members Of the
Hackney Society and a few enthusiasts
in the ranks of the French Coacher
have been doing good work, and some
Of the Morgan men have come to the
fore. But the trotting horse men, as a
rule, satisfy themselves by culling out
horses that cannot race and Offering
them for the purposes that all horses
are supposed to be bred to serve. This
last makeshift will not result s~atisfac-
torily. A man cannot play cards and

shut down IN winter because Of lack Of
milk is where winter pastures are the
most of a success, and the places where
winter dairying is most successful are
those where no reliance is placed on
winter pasture for COW feed. This does
not prove that suoculent food like sill
age and roots is deleterlous in winter.
Far from it. But s%ucculent food should
be fed In a warm barn, not out in the
open field. This is a hard thing to
impress upon those who are lovers Of
the steer. The more rich feed a steer

starchy diet and expose her to cold

make her comfortable without forcing
her to use her food as fuel to keep her
warm. Exposure is a fatal mistake no
matter how seductive may be the
temptation.

Miss Quincy protests against willful
sadness in literature, but people like
to weep. The most popular novels Of
the last three years have been sad en-
ough to produce confirmed melan-
choly on the part of every person who
has read them. The more successful
plays Of the period are built on human
misfortune and agony. The more
n~ovelreaders and play-goers weep tbs
happier they are; and if originally de-
cent heroines are Inundated to the
dust and beyond any hope of recovery,

Within the past three years the expe-

who had exhausted the field of cattle
FEEDING were surprised at the amour
OF work on their hands in the poultry
line. They found that there were a
thousand and one little details they
had never anticipated, and instead of
winding up the experiments In a few
months they have been compelled to go
on with their work for several years
before they can give results. The con-
sequence is that a great interest Is be-
ing created in poultry, and those who
supposed that there was little or moth
Ing to learn have discovered that they
knew less about the management of
poultry than of larger stock. The sta

plan is to erect houses" ac-
cording to his requirements, and to
enclose, with ordinary wire netting,
nxed to upright poles in the ground,
spaces around each, ranging from nine
ty-eight to 277 square yards. The
ground set apart for the runs was the
rough patches generally found near to
the homestead and outbuildings. At
the outset he selected fowls that were
good layers, such as a cross between
light and brown Leghorn cocks and the
dark Brahma hens. They were, of
course, most prolific in March, April,
May, June and July, but March and
April pullets began laying on October

Healthful Stable Surroundings.-To
insure the giving of good milk, the
COWS must be in comfortable quarters,
and in the best of health. An abund-
ance of pure water at least twice a day,
feed that is good, and free from dirt,
decay, or a musty condition. The at
mosphere of the stable should be pure
and free from dust when milking is
being done, that is the throwing down
of hay or other food from the loft. and
stirring up the bedding, ETC., should all
be postponed until after the milking is
finished. The COWS should at all times
stand on dry. clean litter, and not dirty
stuff.

Carrots for Horses.-Of all roots with
which horses are tempted, the carrot,
as a rule, is the favorite, and perhaps
the most beneficial. 1t is said to be
somewhat diuretic in it's effects. and to

skin. Certain it is that a sick horse
may be coaxed into eating carrots when
disinclined to partake of other nourish-
ment, and the greatest benefit results.

valuable as an article Of diet, and a few
may be given with advantage even to
