SMALLPOX.

A Case Discovered and the Patient
Promptly Removed TO the Pest
House-No Further Developments
and no Cause for Alarm.
Henderson is having some more expert
ence with smallpox. A case developed
last week but there is no excitement or
danger OF the disease spreading As soon
as discovered it was promptly taken
charge Of and has been properly handled.
The patient is negro man, who con-
tracted the disease in another town. He
was removed to the pest house and is
getting on very we'll The family and
those who were staying in the house at
the time were taken out there also, but
they are isolated from the sick man.
There have been no developments but of
course no one can say what will be the
result
As q precautionary measure two Or
three colored families out on the edge of
town among whom the sick man went
before the nature of the disease was as
certained, have been quarantined. Also
three white families in town whose wash
ing was done by colored woman at
whose house the man visited. 1t is not
believed that these people were exposed
to any serious danger by wearing clothes
that were washed or dried in the house
where this man visited but to be on the
safe side it was thought best to keep them
in for awhile.
This is the whole situation as the mat
ter stands. The case is confined to the
pest house. outside the corporate limits
Of the town and there is absolutely no
danger Of the disase spreading. OF course
another case is as liable to break out
somewhere as unexpectedly as this one
but there is no cause for alarm or uneasi-
ness in any quarter.
1t is well enough to be vaccinated any
how. At special meeting of the Board
OF County Commissioners held Tuesday
an order passed making it compulsory
for all persons living within one mile and
a half of the corporate limits Of the town
of Henderson to be vaccinated. A reso-
luton was also adopted asking the Board
of Town Commissioners to cooperate in
the matter and order compulsory vacci-
nation in the town.

millions of this class of sheep, on
December last, had been shipped to
Eastern markets. This is record
breaker.
In the region of Caldwell, Idaho,
there is just now much talk of the
sheepmen feeding corn the coming
winter instead of hay. An expert
ment has been going on for two or
three years; a prominent sheepman
has every winter divided his sheep
into two bands. To the one he has
fed a corn and hay diet, and to the
other only hay. At the end of the
winter he has found that the sheep
fed the corn and hay mixed came out
better, fatter and harder than those
fed on an exclusive hay diet. There
are sheepmen who claim that a corn
diet is too heating, and unless especi-
ally prepared for it, feeding corn is
very expensive owing to the great
waste, but that corn should, and may
be could, be fed to a profit if added
to a large hay diet.
One of the best treatments for
scours in lambs is sulphate of mag
nesia, one ounce; common cooking So
d. one-fourth ounce ginger, what
you can take up on a dime, mixed in
little flax seed Cruel. Four hours
after giving the above dose administer
four ounces of linseed oil to the little
sufferer. 1t is important that the
ewes diet be changed and the lamb
kept from drinking large quantities
of water Of course the shepherd
must regulate the dose according to
the age of the lamb.

THE SHEEP CANADA WANTS.

At the recent great Canadian live
stock and poultry exposition, Prof
Grisdale, of the Central experimental
farm, said: "The sheep industry is
at the present time in a dormant con-
dition in this country, but there will
he a good awakening in the course
of two or three years, and now is
the time for the farmers to lay in
a good flock of sheep at low prices.
The sheep industry is a cheap one
and one that can be run in connec-
ton with all farms. 1t is very i'm
portant that buyers should get the
right stock in order to produce the
right article The male should show
lots of strength and masculinity. He
should have a good head, with a raise
above the nostrils, good breadth and
bone development. 1t is very i'm
portant that the bone in the sheep
should not be coarse. He must have
a good neck and lots of strength there
A thin weak neck is very undesirable.
The junction of the neck to the shout
der should be smooth and well Joined.
It is very essential that a good male
should have good feet. They must
not be too long. All animals that are
flesh producers must be low down.
Back of all these the animal must
have good, strong constitution. Wool
on the head is sign Of good breed
ing. The ear is another sign OF
strength and vitality. The loin should
be strong and there should be good
development on the leg of mutton in
order to be a desirable carcass. A
we'll finished flank is a sign OF
good feeder, and good feed is es-
sential to good mutton sheep. Wool
at the present time is minor con-
sideration, but the good sheep must
carry wool of a superior quality"

alfalfa is now the chief sheep feed

hay. even bigger than many farmers
down in this section turn in. l re-
alized seven tons to the acre on a
well-irrigated ranch last season, and
found myself when the winter came
on with plenty of rough feed for stock.
The hay sells for Sc to So in the stack

highly priced as sheep feed"

FOR THE FLoCKMASTER.

The sheepmen of Lake county, Ore
gon, have levied a two-cent per head
tax on the sheep for the purpose OF
raising funds to counterfeit the effect
of the repeal of the scalp bounty law
1t is estimated their tax will make
a sum of $4,000, which will be used
to pay hunters to patrol the range.
A new method of cleansing raw
wool has been invented by Edgar
'Baruch of California. Crude oil dis
tillate, boiling between IS and 80
degrees c., is the volatile solvent en-
ployed. The apparatus has the two
important features of cheapness and
simplicity. The average saving over
the old soap process is two cents per
pound.
Turn the sheep on the rye. They
will gain much food and firm the rye
roots that may have been loosened by
the frost. The rye will come on and
make strong growth.
Raising sheep on the ranges in the
West during the past decade has
reached proportions far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of those
engaged in that industry. The states
principally engaged in this industry
are Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Wyoming. Over three and one-half

There is a chance for Abilene to

$1,000 invested to start on that will

pauy is formed and the money ready.
The city commercial club ought to be

every possible assistance given to our

THIS GRAFT Is NEW.
How sharpsrs Work the Country
Town Boys.

MANCHESTER, Dec. ia new
graft was put on here Saturday night.
A couple smooth men issued hand
bills announcing that there would be
q .'grapd free show" OF Havlick's hall
and had a crowd. After a short and
very bum program Of music the
grafters announced that valuable
gold ring would be voted to the most
popular young lady in the audience
The voting began at SO much per vote
and the way the boys went down into
their pockets for the ducats was a
caution. The voting contest rePlen-
lshed the exchequer Of the grafters
to the extent OF about $26, and the
"valuable gold ring" proved TO be
worth about 123 cents dozen whole
sale. Miss Bertha Everetts Of Salina
was voted the prize and she will no
doubt value it highly as souvenir.
The boys say they had lots Of fun,
but we are told 1t was rather expen-
sive fun for some Of them.

and results are much more prompt

hand and gwen as soon as the cold is
contracted and before 1t has become
settled In the system. In almost
every instance severe cold may be
warded of by taking this remedy
freely as soon as the first indication
Of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving it to children Tor It
CON tains no harmful substance. II is
pleasant to take-both adults and
