Live Stock Diseases in lndiara in 1875

The veterinary department Of the
station has been keep
ing a careful observation upon the
occnrrance Of the diseases OF domes-
tic animals in the state, and a brief
summary OF ths con li'ions for the
pat year is as follows:
The greatest loss ha- be N caused
by hog cholera. The disease has
,een general all over the state but
has no. so completely devastated all
the herds in a given locality, "a i
often the case. The total loss j.
probably mere than 900, 900 hogs,
;alued at more than $1,000, 900.
rhe disease has subsided somewhat
At the present time.
The station has used 1 300 pounds
of guaranteed cholera cures in
the past two years, without finding
a practical remedy.
Cattle were affected by an unus-
ual number of diseases. Contag
Gus sore eyes existed "a an epidem-
ic during the late summer. While
1t did not cause many fatalities, it
resulted in much loss in delaying
the fattening process aud in a di-
minished How Of milk. a few weeks
later an epidemic of sore f)ot and
mouth disc ise occurred also causing
considerable loss. Within the past
few weeks several hundred fatalities
have resulted from eating spoiled
corn and fodder. This loss is err
attributed to ergot. Ergot,
however, never occurs on corn, and
as far as experiments have shown,
the corn smut does not produce
any known disease. The disease is
probably produced by some pro-
duet of the decomposition Of the
corn.
Tuberculosis has been found
where it had not been supposed to
exist, and requests for tub rculin
te-ts are constantly eing made.
The station, however, is not prepar-
ed 10 make these tests. Sympto
matte anthrax caused considerable
alarm in some localities.
Sheep escaped disease as rule
during the summer months, but
late reports indicate some trouble
may be expected this winter.
Horses have been practically free
from epidemics

A MONSTER UMBRELLA.
One of the Attractions Proposed for
the Paris ENnoSitinn

paris Correspondence OF the London Telegraph
One Of the latest plans submitted to the
exhibition commissioners is that for the
construction of colossal umbrella The
ingenious person who proposes this So
called clou is Nine. Percha Giverne. who
keeps walking stick and gingham en-
porium in the Rue de Turbigo. Her ex-
hibitiOn umbrella, or parasol, as she terms
1t, is intended as a shelter for persons un-
able TO find room in the cafes of the uni
yersal fair during a shower of rain or in
bad weather generally. The handle of the
gigantic gingham would be a hollow metal
column, with landings and cafes thereon
and also theatres or music halls. On the
top, over the covering or umbrella proper
which would be garnished with colored
lamps, Nine. Percha Giyerne suggests that
cupola containing a restaurant should be
put, She also proposes that the cupoIa in
question should revolve, thus allowing peo-
pie, while eating their luncheons or din
ners, to get a birds-eye view of the differ
ent departments of the exhibition. There
is, of course, to be no climbing in this
umbrella tower, as lifts could be arranged
something after the Eiffel plan. The COM
missioners have been so interested in the
colossal umbrella project that they have
sent ii for examination to the members of
the committee for the admission of private
plans. who will have 10 see If the thing
can be carried out as a practical scheme
and If sufficient space can be afforded for
1t in the Champ de Mars.
