The following letter was sent the
Blue Mountain Eagle by Stock Inspec-
tor Irwin, of Grant, for publication. IL
treats of a matter of considerable in
terest to cattlemen everywhere:
Mr.. George Irwin. Stock Inspector,
Monument, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-Actinomycosis or what
is known as lump jaw, is a contagious
disease by direct incubation, therefore
an animal suffering from the disease
might run with a herd for years and
not another animal get it, yet dozen
might contract the disease in a month,
particularly when they run on brushy
land, or where there is plenty of wild
oats or fox tail which may irritate
the mouth, tongue, or any portion of
the digestive canal. Then should the
diseased organism come in contact
with the sore they are sure to take the
| disease. Therefore, it is necessary to
| quarantine or kill the animal affected
so as to prevent the spread of the
disease.
Should the disease be noticed before
any great structural change has taken
place it is durable by giving two or
three drahms of iodide of potash twice
or three times a day for two or three
weeks and also injecting equal parts
of tincture of iodine and alcohol into
the lump and all around 1t in many
places. Repeat this about every three
or four days for the same length of
time.
think the safest way is to destroy
the animal and burn it up, or bury it
deep into the ground, as people as 4
general thing will not follow up treat
ment, and without that there is but
little hopes of recovery.
If you can get the parties to kill
their diseased animals well and good.
If not, let me know and l will under
take the job. Then II we both fail we
will hire Il boy to take our place.
Thanking you for this information,
l remain yours respectfully,
VIM. M'LEAN.
State Veterinarian.

A WOOD SAVING FLY.
The Tool with Which II Makes q
Cradle For It's Young.

1t Is marvellous how many of the tiny
and preserve their eggs. Some will
deposit them in extraordinary places;
others will insert them In the skins of
living animals; others, again, deposit
their eggs where the young grub, after
coming from the egg, finds food close
at hand.
Among these last mentioned are in
sects who bestow great labor in the
cradle of their young. The place they
select is a hard part of leaf or the
woody branch of n tree. In this they
saw out hole large enough to contain
their eggs, whence their name, saw
flies For this purpose they are pro
vided with an ovipositor of peculiar
construction. 1t consists of two long
pieces closing like a sheath over a
third.
In the tenthredo this third piece con
talns two little saws, each of which has
been compared to the tenon saw used
by the cabinctmakers. The tenon saw
Is single, but that of the tenthredo Is
double. consisting of two distinct saws
The insect in using them throws ou'
one saw and while it Is returning
pushes out the other.
This alternate motion is continued
until the cut Is made, when the two
saws, receding from each other, con
duct the egg between them into it
place. Not only is the edge of the saw
notched Into teeth, but on every tootf
a number of smaller teeth appear.

cree and this amount has gradually
fallen to lll0 feet the present week.
Under the terms of the irrigation
law OF the state, when the water
rights are decreed by district court,
the prior rights are entitled to receive
a full amount of water, so long as 1t
is in the stream. while the inferior
rights receive absolutely nothing. In
consequence of this legal fact, only
about two-ffths of the bitches taking
water from the Boise river. in point

Watermaster Lowell, in speaking OF
the situation last evening stated that
he was bound by the provisions of tht
statutes and the terms of the decree
and had absolutely no judicial func

along he stated. he had eased dowr

1t is curious that the French, who
have done more than most nations to
cultivate the graces Of life, should be
the people to boast the most perfect
system Of canals and roads in the
world; more curious still that, when
most practical, they are still careful
not to sacrifice the purely graceful or
decorative. The roads and canals are
built for use, but between their serried
ranks of poplars they become so many
stately groves and avenues, crossing
the country from end to end.-Century.

The Word "Papn."

For some time after the word papa
was taken into the English language
In the seventeenth century it was re
strlcted to courtly and polite speech
and was common even among adults
Long after it had become childish il
was still accounted genteel. Hood
wrote of one who was "genteelly
taught to say, not father, but papa
Papa" may be comparatively new
conner into the English language, but
1t is as old as Homer. Nausicaa In
the odyssey calls her father "pappa
phile"-dear papa.

Milk Is the chief article of food and
nourishment in every sickroom and
hospital, and every physician and
nurse should know the source Of sup
ply, Its purity, before ordering 1t in
any form for invalids and GONZALES
cents. 1t is not enough that 1t comes
as country milk" There must be in
tegrity and experience back of 1t. 1t
has been scientifically demonstrated
and proved that pure milk products
are the most nutritious, economical
and easily digested foods when the milk
is obtained In all its purity and kept
SO from pasture to consumer.-Charles

THE BEST SLEEP.
II Is That which One Cannot Avoid
without n Struggle.


When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep, indeed, the
only healthy kind. is that which one
cannot avoid without struggle. 1t is
the sleep that always follows ON weari-
ness; II is not that which is obtained
by difficulty. If person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re-
freshed-that Is. with no further in
clination to sleep-he would not then
be in need of It, His proper course
would be to arise and engage In work.
But he must be prepared to sleep at
any time in the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rule there is one
exception. Let us suppose that one
has acquired the habit of sleeping half
the night and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such habit can
be best broken by rising after the first
sleep and refraining from a nap in the
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances are that the victim of insom-
mia will be SO sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper hour for
rising.
In any case II is Il great mistake to
turn over on the other side and remain
in a half conscious state. Indeed, it is
more serious mistake than many
would believe, says liome Notes. The
brain is now in peculiar state. more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be possible under any other nor.
NAL conditions. Quite lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers of this half waking state.

Every human being. unless he lacks
utterly the capacity to love. is an ideal
