point only; we can furnish four point
wire in other makes, but this year We
would advise the use of two point close
set or hog wire in place of four point; it
will prove just as effectua1 In turning
stock as the four point. 1t makes a
neater fence and is more durable, as 1t
has more uniform twist and stretches
evenly.
Prices on wire are net cash with Of

Our barbed wire runs 1 1-6 Id. to the

wire will require 21s lbs. to the rod; if
three rows, 3 $40 lbs. to the rod.

IA Of tie Maryland Agricultural College,
q. s ss the following information Of interest
a horse owners:
The disease, cerebro-spiDal meningitis,
which Is at present killing such number
Jt horses in this State, has somewhat been
briefly described by me in bulletin No. So
Of the Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station. At that time, October, 1897, no
cause could be intelligently assigned for it,,
3 my observations were made upon the last
Ave cases reported in that outbreak, and
could not therefore receive sufficient study.
"Since the first appearance OF this disease
n the present outbreak have been giving
n careful attention, and up to this time can
simply reaffirm my recommendations of that
time, to reject all moldy grain or fodder, and
where possible TO make complete change
in diet, allowing wheat bran to form part of
the ration. For the benefit of those who
are compelled to use corn or fodder would
suggest Smelling or breaking off the damaged
portion of the ear and throwing out the dam
aged fodder. In such cases food should be
sailed and powder made up as follows
could be judiciously used In the feed: Mix
powdered nux vomica ounce, gentain 4
ounce, caraway seeds 4 ounces, and bicar-
Donate of soda ounces Divide into twelve
powders and give one twice day in the
feed"
