SIaGGERS or HORSES.

We learn that there are a good
many horses and mules dying over
the country with disease, in most
cases, resembling staggers, and We
give the below clipping from the agri-
cultural department of the Atlanta
Constitution bearing upon the matter
hoping it viii be of interest and
benefit to stock owners generally:
l am not confident, but / venture to
suggest that it is what is commonly
called "blind staggers" lcerebrospinal
meningitis. Your description Of the
conditions feed, etc. and SYMPTOMS
l. not sufficiently complete. In bad
case Of this disease it is hardly worth
while 10 attempt TO treat it, In most
instances that are severe the animal
soon loses the power to,swallow. The
following i standard treatment
where the animal can swallow a
drench or bOlus: Give at once one
ounce of barbados aloes; also give to
drains of the solid extract of bella
donna, alternating every three hours
with 80 drops Of the tincture Of
aconite root and blister the spine,
neck and throat. If the animal cam
not swallow inject hypOdermically
under the skin one quarter grain
doses of sul?hate of atropIa every
hour, SIX or eight hours as the case
may seem to demand. When the
symptoms abate give such food as the
horse will eat, keep fresh, cool water
constantly before him and keep the
stable clean and plenty of fresh air.

MICHIGAN
USED ICE CAKE FOR a RAFT
How the Lives Of Six Fishermen OF Ar
thur Bay Were Saved.

thur Bay Were Saved. H.
MENOMINEE MICH.-six fishermen Of
Arthur Bay escaped being carried out on
a floating field of ice yesterday by using
a large cake of ice as a raft and riding
on it to the solid ice attached to the shore.
Homer Williams, one Of the leading
residents of Arthur Bay and his son
Charles with four other men. whose
names could not be learned, were the men
whose lives were in danger. :
They were getting in their nets SO they
would not be lost in the movement Of the
ice, but did not notice that the big ice
field had broken away. When they came
to return to the shore they encountered an
expanse of water several, hundred feet
wide, cutting them off from all escape, so
far as they could see.
Henry Weber and Charles Bailey, who
were working some distance away, heard
their cries for help and ran to the res
cue. They were unable. to do anything,
however, as there was mo boat at hand
and no material with which to construct
a raft. Finally, as last hope it occurred
to one Of the men who was being carried
out, that he might use cake of ice as a
raft and accordingly the men set about to
break off a large cake from the: larger
body. This was done and one of the
men, taking the end of a rope between his
teeth boarded sthe cake and slowly pad
died to the safe expanse. Then with the
aid of the, rope all Of the remaining men
crossed on the cake. one by one.
