GROTESQUE ANIMAL DISEASE.
Strange MaIady SwelIs Heads OF
South African Sheep.

South Africa, which is noted for its
curious animal and human diseases.
has none more curious than the
trouble affecting Merino and Afri-
cander sheep and Angora goats, in
which the heads and ears of the ami
mails swell 10 grotesque size, finally
resulting in the death Of the animal.
This disease, the exact nature OF
which or its cause is not recognized,
according TO the Journal Of Compare
tive Pathology and Therapeutics, is
known chiefly by its Dutch name.
"Geel Dikkop." which. translated,
means yellow thick-head.
The trouble usually appears In
herds which have been grazing on
lowland. and is particularly prevail
ent after a heavy rainfall, though
what relation this may have TO the
disease Is a mystery. The head and
ears assume a dropsical condition,
growing TO enormous size, and If no
treatment is adopted the swollen
parts become dry. shrivel up and
crack. This swollen condition is ac-
companied by a general condition Of
jaundice.
Post-mortem examinations disclose
in addition TO the general jaundiced
condition, an abnormal condition of
some Of the vital organs. as the liver.
spleen, etc. The average mortality
is about forty per cent, and the best
remedy appears to be the regulation
Of the diet by feeding large quanti-
ties OF alfalfa and giving the stock
plenty of water Removal to high
lands is also advocated by the sheep
men.

The Benefits.

We have several times, when talk
Ing with would-be settlers, made the
remark that IL would be better to
pay good price for land within q
short distance of a railroad station
or wharf on river or other navigable
waters, than TO take just as good
land, two or three miles away, as a
free gift, writes the editor of the
Florida Agriculturist. We are still
Of the same opinion, unless there is a
good hard road on which a load can
be hauled.
The following from the Times
Union gives another editors view Of
the matter:
Florida's two greatest needs are
good roads and immigrants. Good
roads would do much TO secure i'm
migrants, and the class that would
be most influenced by them is the
very best. An ignorant, thoughtless
man will not appreciate the differ
ence that hard roads make in the
value Of property. The wideawake,
progressive man understands the Diff
ference.
We have railroads all through
Florida, but a vast amount of energy
Is wanted or time, valuable in money,
lost in getting products to the rail-
way stations. 1t is safe to say that
If the farmers would make a careful
estimate of the time consumed in
hauling their products to the rail-
roads or in hauling their supplies
from them they would find that this
costs them as much as their railway
transportation. With good roads 1t
would not cost half so much. Suppose
some measure were before the people
OF Florida that would save them
half the cost of transportation both
ways. They would work for its ac-
complishment They would spend
much more money for it than it
would cost to cover the State with a
network Of good roads.
The producer who is far from a
railroad cannot compete with one
who is near. 1t would cost less to
haul products ten miles over hard
road than five miles over one deep
in sand. The effect Of good roads
then would be to practically bring
each man nearer to town-nearer to
his shipping point. One million dol
lars year could profitably be spent
in Florida in making permanent
roads in addition to the repair work
done.

Why Try to Deceive?

Never before has there been such
a general cry from one end Of the
country to the other for the better
ment OF the road, and in all of this
agitation for improvement the auto
mobilist unavoidably is a prominent
factor. Once upon a time 1t might
have been good policy for the autoist
to keep in the background in good
roads agitation. for his activity then
may have offended the farmer, who
now is coming to a realization that
good roads are more than worth
while. no matter who is resposible
for their building. Furthermore, this
same farmer is beginning to look
upon the autoist as an ally and not
as an enemy in securing something
which Is mutually benefcial.-Ths

New Implement For Road Making.

A patent was granted 20 William
l.. Baker for a machine for improving
gravel and dirt roads. This machine
is destined, it is said. to revolution
ize road making in this country. An
effort is being made in the rural dis
tricts to induce farmers to improve
the roads along their own premises
without charging their time to the
township. When this is done there
will be good roads, as it is possible
for every mile of road in the State
to be improved in one week if all
use the drag 1t is said that the
township trustees are willing to fur
nish this simple machine in sufficient
quantities for all, if the people will
agree to use them. AS they are used

Squeers's School.

A school master had been severely
correcting one of his boys and finish
ed by saying:
"Now, sit down and write to your
parents, telling them how much you
are taught here and how little you
profit therefrom."
The boy cried a good deal, then
wrote:

chine costs but trifle, fifteen dollars,
and 1t will practically last for years.
The process Of making an improved
surface on a road by dragging is not
new, as it has been tried and found
an admirable plan, but this machine
is new, and, no doubt, solves the
problem of good roads for the future.

Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim il to be an efIee-

Have we abundant proof that Peruna
is In reality such q catarrh remedy?

chronic intestinal catarrh. catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh Of the hver), sad
in diseased mucous membranes Of the
pelvic organs. II is also recommended

diseases peculiar to women.
Another Ingredient Of Peruna, cory.
dalis fOrmosa, is classed In the United
States Dispensatory as q tonic. So also
is cubebs Classcd as a stOmachic and
as . tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another Ingredient
Of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
Of cedro0 that IL is used as q bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as .
substitHte for quinine.
