BIG. FIND OF MEERSChAUM.
Discovery Does Away With Turkish
 Governments Monopoly.

Because of the discovery of vast deposits of meerschaum in the moun- tains of New Mexico it is likely that the monopoly of that mineral. here. tofore held by the Turkish govern ment will be broken, and pipes of that material will be lessened in cost
 Until recently all the meerschaum used in the commerce of the world was produced from mine in the plains of Eskihi-sher, Anatoly, Turkey in Asia In those mines are employed 10000 men. The output of the mine was owned by the Turkish govern ment and it kept the price up
 1t is said that enough meerschaum has been discovered in Grant county, New Mexico, to supply the worlds needs.
 There is popular belief that meer- schaum is petrifed sea foam washed up ages ago and solidified by some strange process of nature. Meer- schaum is a mineral known to scen. lists as "sepiolite" It is composed principally of silica and magnesium. It is found in Assures in the rock, where volcanic action has forced it up to the surface.
 Meerschaum is used not only for making tobacco pipes, but because of it's unique properties of resisting high degree of heat and its ready absorption or water, it is put to vari- ous electrical and mechanical uses.
 In the mines of New Mexico a solid block of meerschaum weighing 42 pounds was taken out 1t was the largest block of meerschaum ever mined New York Financial News.

Still Being Argued.

Little Rock, June 13. -Argu ment in the petition made by the Western Union Telegraph Com pany to have o. c. Ludwig, sec retary of state, enjoined from revoEing or attempting to revoke the franchise of the company in Arkansas in accordance with the Wingo act, was begun yesterday in the United States Circuit court before Judge Jacob Trieber. The argument consumed all of yester- day. It will be continued today. The judge announced that he would not hold the attorneys to strict rules as to how much time shall be consumed, but that as much time will be used as may be necessary to place the case before the court.
 Attorney General Kirby spoke all of yesterday morning and a part of yesterday afternoon. He contends the Wingo act comes under the state criminal code and that thew estern Union Telegraph ~.

SOME SHEEP DISEASES
AND HOW TO TREAT THEM
Preventive Measures Best-Keep
nd Feeding.

Diseases Of sheep and their proven
ton offer wide field for scientific IN
Quiry. Members of the veterinary pro-
fession are frequently accused OF
knowing little about the diseases OF
sheep, but the fault scarcely lies with
them. Owing to the comparatively
small value of the individual animal, it
does not pay the farmer to call in the
veterinary surgeon to advise upon the
treatment of sick sheep, and so the
practitioner has few chances of study
ing the common diseases of sheep.
Sheep are very liable to suffer from
epizootic diseases some of which are
due to parasites, others being of mi
crobe origin. This liability to disease
is due to several causes:
CD Where sheep breeding is ex-
tensively carried on the land is al
ways stocked with sheep, and with
sheep only, and has been grazed over
by sheep for generations, and conse-

nary washing with soap and water
ing eve, using lotion such as one
part of carbolic acid to 20 parts OF
water.
60 Dead lambs should be buried OF
burned without being skinned Dogs
should not be allowed to eat dead
ewes or lambs.
CO AS soon as a lamb shows the
premonitory symptoms Of this disease
it should be taken to hospital pen
where it should be tended by a man
who has nothing to do with the healthy
flock.
CD In no case should eve be
given another lamb to bring up if her
own has died of navel i'll.
(S) In treating lambs the superficial
assesses may be opened and the con
tents dropped into pail of strong car
bolic acid The assesses should be
syringed with disinfectant.
Acute rheumatism is a disease that
does not, as a rule, assume large pro-
portions, and is greatly lessened by
he removal of the cause, viz, damp
lying and highly nutritive foods. The
removal of sheep showing the first
symptoms Of stiffness to dry uplands
is recommended. The Journal of Agri'
culture recommends that half drachm
of bicarbonate of soda might be given
to them morning and night for a few
days in a little cake. The cake and
grain should be less than the sheep
had been receiving, but it would not
be wise to stop it altogether, as con
dition once lost is hard to recover.
Tapeworm is the commonest para
site of sheep, most prevalent in spring
and summer.
The symptoms are small, white, OBJ
long segments are found adhering to
the dung, most noticeable after rain;
animals become poor, hidebound and
bloodless; the fleece become dry and
varies and at times there is great
thirst. In the more pronounced cases
diarrhOea ensues and the animals die
from exhaustion. I have seen instances
of lambs, apparently in the pink OF
condition, that died suddenly from
nervous shock and intestinal irritation
caused by tapeWOrm.
Treatment-Fast from food and
water the night before and two hours
after each time of drenching with
Santoyin-than which there is no bet
ter medicine for tapeworms. Repeat

81 am not feeling very well" II
am so nervous it seems as though l.
should fly" My back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
6cant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. ''Woman's llls,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of WOman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at

dogs, vermin, etc. The countless my
contains are allowed to contaminate
the soil, and consequently such dis
eases appear with unfailing regularity
at the proper seasons.
Navel i'll is a disease which is of a
fatal character not only to lambs, but
also calves, and appears shortly after
the birth of the animals. Outbreaks
of the disease also occasionally occur
among foals, the joints being the chief
seat of the disease. The disease is
one which can only be successfully
dealt with by the practice of strict
cleanliness on the part of the shep-
herd or other person in charge of the
animals, combined with a system Of
antiseptic treatment of the navel cord
shortly after birth. Lambs are born
vigorous and healthy, but within
few days their sprightliness disap-
pears and stiffness of the joints be-
comes apparent, followed by the for
nation of assesses on the joints, in
the Emphatic glands and on the lips
and muzZle.
It is not probable that any prevent
i've measures will entirely eradicate
this disease from an infected district,
but attention to the following may do
much to prevent losses from that
cause:
(1 Large flocks should be subdi-
vided for Landing purposes. Instead
of one lambing yard, three or four
smaller yards should be provided. II
the disease appears in one of the
smaller yards, it may be prevented
from spreading.
(2) At the end of the Landing sea-
son everything in the shape of litter
in the yard should be burned and the
yard well sprinkled with lime wash to
which per cent of carbolic acid has
been added.
CD AS each lamb is born it's navel
should be dressed with some anti
septic and astringent lotion This kills
the germs and hastens to close the
navel

| the does in As hours, and in severe
cases in three or four days time. A
change of pasturage and where lambs
have become much debilitated, a lib
eral allowance of good, easily digested
trough food, linseed cake and oats will
prove to be of great benefit.
Foot rot is disease from which all
focks suffer more or less, and in many
cases it is the most serious trouble
with which the sheep owner has to
contend.
The usual treatment is to pare the
hoof of the afflicted sheep and to ap'
ply dressing, but it is evident that

rately is a slow and 1aborious bust

the sheep on it's back, is fruitful

should advise the following directions
to be followed:
Cd Bath of wood or concrete 16
feet long and s inches wide, sides
sloping out; ends 3 inches deep, pro-
vided with cross pieces or grooves to
prevent slipping, side fences close
boarded, and to slope out SO as to adj
NIT of sheep walking easily through.
~ Solution of one pound Of copper
sulphate in one gallon of water; or,
if prevention only is aimed at, half
this strength will suffice. Copper sui
phate should be powdered and should
be of guaranteed quality. Time should
be allowed for thorough solution.
CD Sheep, if badly affected, should
have hoofs pared before being put
through the bath, and this should be
done on day when the grass and soil
are dry.
(4) Copper sulphate being poison
Gus, a cover for the bath to prevent
stock drinking the solution is of adj
vantage
60 If ewes at lamb are treated, they
should be put through very quickly, to
prevent the solution getting on the
teats.
CO Sheep with long wool should
also be put through quickly, or the so

quently the soil has become saturated
with the various parasites Of which
the sheep is the natural host, or with
the microbes of those germ diseases
to which sheep are liable.
(2) Sheep, being close feeders, are
