Wouldn't Take Chances.

A Chicago lawyer found a new sort
of therapeutic treatment. His in
structor told him that if he retired
into the silence, breathed rhythmetic-
ally, and said certain words he would
be able to cast off all his bodily all
ments. He tried it and it worked.
Then his three-year-old child got
measles and he worked it on him. He
was all pulled up. Later his prize set
ter contracted the mango. He sum-
moned a veterinary. Then a friend
expostulated. your system worked
with yourself and 1t worked with your
child" he said; why don't you try it
on the dog?" "That dog cost me 500
when he was a mere pup" was the an
swer, "and l can't afford to take any
chances"

Had Not DisobeYed.

Robbie is a Washington boy, and
many degrees removed from an angel.
Not long ago his father bought him a
bicycle, on a solemn promise that he
would be good for at least a year.
One week later he was detected in
some particularly fragrant act, and his
father, to punish him, forbade him
to ride his bicycle for a whole week.
Robbie promised, but as his father
neared home next day he saw his son
whirling along on his wheel.
Robbie" said he, more in sorrow
than in anger, didn't tell you not to
ride your bicycle for a week?"
Yes, sir" said Robbie, ~cheerfully,
land I'm not going to disobey you.
This isn't my wheel. It's one l bor-
rowed."

Trocat used for sIoat

If relief is not obtained in time, the
animal dies from ~suffocation due to
the great pressure on the lungs.
In mild cases, driving the animal at
a rapid gait for some distance may
be sufficient. Cold water thrown In
quantities upon the cows sides may
reduce the pressure. In very severe
cases the gas must be removed witha
out delay. This is best done by the
use of a trocar. In using this instru-
ment a spot is selected equally dis.
tant from the last rib, the hib bone,
and the backbone on the left side.

out, and this has enabled us in many
cases to prevent losses.
The worms inhabit old sheep too,
but do not usually harm them seri-
ously. They live like this: in the
body of the older sheep they are ma
ture and pass out full of eggs about
to hatch, or the eggs may be passed
out without the worms. These fall in
The pasture and in a short time hatch
out into tiny worms. The young
worms feed in the soil and soon climb
up the blades Of grass and the weeds.
AS the sheep feed ons the grass, the
worms are again taken into the stom-
ach. This process continues through
out the summer.
A thoroughly reliable method of
cure has never been discovered. Rhe
most commonly used is the gasoline
treatment" The gasoline is given as
4 drench from a long-necked bottle. 1t
cannot be given alone, without burn
.ng the digestive organs of the sheep,
out must be thoroughly mixed with
,weet milk. A dose for a lamb is
n tablespoonful mixed with half d
pint of milk. The success of the treat
nent depends largely upon the way
The gasoline is given. If the sheep
are drenched on full stomachs, few
worms will be killed, or If the treat.
ment is given only once, satisfactory
results will not be had.
The evening before the first treat
ment is given, the lambs are shut UP
without feed or water, and are dosed
about 10 o'clock the next morning.
Three hours later they are allowed
iced and water, and at night they are
again shut up without feed or water
The same treatment is followed until
.hree doses have been given on three
successive mornings. For older sheep
:wo t~ablespoonfuls of gasoline are
used instead of one. The essentia

weakness, due to a lack of blood; loss
of flesh, dullness, black scours, and
thirst. A more certain diagnosis may
be made by an examination of a dead
animal. The fourth stomach is the
last one. 1t is the one to which the
small intestine is attached. If this is
opened and the contents watched
closely, movements of the worms can
be seen. 1t should be remembered
however, that the worms are very
small and are often overlooked. The

small intestine should also be opened
and examined both for stomach and
for tape worms.
Of course, it is difficult to entirely
free a flock of stomach worms when
it ono becomes infected. Preventive
measures should always be followed.
The more often the sheep especially
the lambs) are given a change of pas
ture, the less the danger of infection.
This is especially true during the hot
months, when the pasture is short. So
q farm that is we'll equipped for sheep
must have enough pastures to allow
of frequent changes.
