this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It's customary to speak of Catarrh

very dangerous disease if not at first, it
very soon becomes 80.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to ali parts of the system.

PROFIT IN DOGS.
How Some Farmers Are Said to &c
RID of Poor Sheep.

How Some Farmers Are Said to Get
Rid of Poor Sheep.
The Maine legislator who hated dogs
and hoped to exterminate the breed by
imposing a per capita tax had no Idea
that by so doing he would add an APP
probable sum to the revenue of the
state, says the Boston Globe.
Treasurer Simpsons report for the
year 1899, which has Just been issued,
shows that $30,9S9 was received last
year in dog taxes, out of which $4.-
55S,14 was paid for injuries committed
to domestic stock by dogs and other
wild animals, leaving a net income
from the dogs of $26, 1906 a year, or
enough to support the entire Maine mi
litia for u months and still have more
than $4,000 to the good.
When the Spanish war broke out and
the examining physicians rejected
nearly half of the enlisted men for
physical disability, officers Of high
rank felt badly and remarked that the
Maine troops had gone to the dogs"
little thinking how literally true the
assertion was, because If the dog tax
had not been in force the public treas
ury would have shown a big deficit.
The so called dog law was passed
for the purpose of providing funds for
reimburslng farmers for the loss of
sheep that were killed in pastures by
dogs, bears, catamounts and other
bloodthirsty animals, and the bill has
not only accomplished what 1t set out
to do and provided a fat surplus to be
devoted to other purposes, but In the
hands of a few cunning farmers who
care more for gain than for honor 1t
has opened up a market for aged, sick
ly and unstable sheep that is afforded
In no other civilized community on
earth.
In collecting sheep damages the own
er of the dead or wounded animals APP
plies to the selectmen of the town, who
act as coroners to view the remains
and fix the value on the same. The
most expert shepherd in the world can
not distinguish lean and languishing
animal from healthy one after it has
been slain and mangled by wild ami
mails.
The presumption is that the weak
lings of the flock are killed because
they can be caught more easily than
vigorous animals. but when the owner
makes oath that the dogs or bears Gull
ed the pride of his flock the selectmen
cannot dispute him and allow him top
notch prices.
Thus by little adroit misrepresenta-
ton which nobody can detect the gen
tie shepherd sells fourth class. scabby
and death stricken sheep at rates which
are charged for finely selected thor
oughbreds, and the paternally gullible
old state foots all the bills.

The trotting horse may be said TO be
the perfection of the American type
says Ainslee's Magazine, but there are
notifications of this type all il meas
ure due to the making Of that type re-
sulting in heavy harness horses, high
steppers and the best kind of saddle
horses, while the general utility horses
of this country are so far superior that
they are being purchased for use In the
European armies to such an extent
that the expectation of horses is be-
coming a great business. To be sure,
we are importing horses all the while
also, but these are brought either to
add new strains to our thoroughbred
stock or to keep up the supply of heavy
draft animals. Hackneys have also
been brought In within 10 years in
great numbers. and 1t is likely that
within a decade or so there will be an
American hackney type. The hackney
as originally developed in England, as
the name implies, was general utility
horse and used under the saddle and In
harness as a hack. The accentuation
of the high knee action of this kind of
horse has given to it a vogue in Eng
land, and they have been used for
coach and light driving as well, the
SNOWY movement being considered
very graceful and effective.

Sheen worms.

The full treatment recommended by
the Ohio experiment station for worms
in sheep or lambs is to put a gallon of
fiaxseed in cheesecloth sack and
place this in a kettle with two gallons
of water and let 1t steep for two hours.
Then remove the bag and let 1t drain
thoroughly into the kettle. When the
1axseed tea Is about as warm as fresh
ly drawn milk, put four ounces into a
bottle and add a common tablespoon
full of gasoline for each sheeF of 90 to
80 pounds weight. Shake well for a
minute or two, then turn into the
drenching bottle and give to the sheep
Have the sheep set up on its rump
and held between the knees. taking
care not to throw the head farther back
than the line of the back. The sheep
should be housed In the evening and
not fed before 10 O'clock. when the
dose may be given. Allow them to re-
main three hours longer without food
or drink; then let them feed until
evening. Repeat this treatment for
three days and in a weeks time give
three days more Of the treatment and
again repeat at end of ten days more,
always giving the medicine after about
10 hours fasting and fasting about
three hours after giving 1t. The fax
seed tea need not be made fresh each
time. but should be warmed every
time. as the gasoline mixes better with
it and passes down from mouth and

water and the digging of a well, the
water being pumped into troughs for
use by a windmill. have relieved fiocks
from diseases which have been due to
the use of natural supplies.
The very common use of rape as a
green feeding crop for sheep or lambs,
the eagerness with which the sheep
feed on it and the succulence of the
fresh green plant make it extremely
desirable that caution be exercised in
the use of it. 1t should not be fed
when wet with rain and while it is In a
luxuriant condition. 1t should not be
fed when the sheep or lambs are hum
CRY. The flock should not be kept on it
more than - minutes or half an hour
at the most for some days after the
feeding Of it has begun 1t is best to
put the flock into the field or lot near
noon, after they have been pasturing
some hours. and always when the rape
is dry.

:THECAREOF SHEEP
EASILY AFFECTED BY FEED
AND WATER AND BENE- .
FITTED BY EXERCISE.

.
Sheep require exercise, and especially
is this true in making baby mutton.
Exercise stimulates their appetite and
tends to keep off disease. The accom-
panying illustration from The National
Stoekman and Farmer shows the sys-
TEN of a practical shepherd. The sup
ply of water is also one of the most i'm
portant things to think of in regard to
the welfare Of sheep. As a rule, says
The Sheep Breeder. running water is
Objectionable unless 1t is brought by
pipes or a spout into a trough or a sue
cession of them. Drinking from the
ground should be avoided as much as
possible, so should water gathered
from roofs into cisterns. All such wa
ter is apt to be impure and may be in
fected by injurious parasites. Even
well water is frequently Objectionable
on account Of mineral impurities, by
which any of several diseases may be
caused
Brook water and pond water, which
is worst, are almost always impure and
quite frequently injuriously so. 1t is
apt to contain eggs or the larvae of in
furious intestinal parasites of several
kinds, and the dreaded stomach worm
even may be taken up by sheep or
lambs In water in which a flock can
stand. then dropping their dung In it.
The eggs Of tapeworms, too. may exist
in such water and thus sheep be in
fected. In fact, any water whatever
which is exposed to the air or to visits
of other animals wild or tame. is liable
to be contaminated in this way, and
the use of it is to be guarded against.
Instances have occurred in which the

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
