DR.. A. S. Alexander. On general princi-
pies medicines to destroy worms should
be administered. A tablespoonful Of
gasoline in new milk Is appropriate
and may be repeated two or three
times ut intervals of two days. This
kills stomach worms or drives them
out of the sheep. If tapeworms are

two dram dose is best. 1t is admin

feeding is indicated in all such cases,

~driftwood, when Il bottle was
tossed at my feet. l extracted u paper
from it on which was written:
We are going to pieces. Whoever gets
TINS 20 to Norman d. Carlisle and tell. him
he Will find my will in my desk in secret
drawer.
This was all-no date, no signature,
no address as to where Norman d.
Carlisle would be found.
That night l went to bed thinking
about h message. Suppose it was
genuine. Somebody was enjoying prop
eity that belonged to another. But it
seemed to me that if it were genuine
the writer would have given at least
the city in which the person for whom
it was intended lived. If the perpe-
traitor was doing the thing for sport or
to pass the time or because he hadn't
any more sense he would have given it.
And yet perhaps that's just what
he wouldn't do. He might not like to
particularize. On the other hand, a
man who is about to be dumped into
q roaring ocean might leave something
out that he should have put in.
| was impelled to find Norman D..
Carlisle. l didn't wish to engage in
looking for a needle in a haystack, but
couldn't resist the feeling that It
was my bounden duty to do SO. There
were then some 100000 people in
the United States alone. The name
was .An~glO-SaXon, and the person
might be somewhere in the great Brit
ish countries. Nevertheless when I
found Mat I couldn't let the matter
alone l went into it methodically. I
put a personal advertisement in one
newspaper in every city i'm the United
States whose inhabitants numbered
100000 or over for the said Norman D..
Carlisle. l received several replies
signed Norman D. Carlisle, the middle
name usually differing. l wrote each
of them, asking if he had lost a rela-
tive at sea, but they all answered in
the negative-that is, so far as they
knew.
After six months I put in another
advertisement for Mr.. Carlisle and re-
ceived a reply from a Norman D. Car
!! Isle living in a town of about $4,000
people. He had seen the ad. while in
the city where it had been inserted. l
asked him if he had lost a relative at
sea, and he replied NO" I dropped
the matter so far as he vas concern
| ed. but later he wrote me that he was
a lawyer and had had a client who
had sailed from Rio de JaneirO in a
vessel that was %catalogued among
missing ships.
After some correspondence he sent
me a check for expenses, and l went
to see him. He made ar engagement

Helps For the Modern Farmer
TREATING BLOAT IN CATTLE.
How They Should Be Fed and Man.
aged During This AiIment.

aged During This Aiiment.
Bloat is due to indigestion causing
fermentation in the paunch of the COW,
so the change from dry hay to fresh
forage should be made gradually. At
first the cattle should be allowed to
remain on green feed but a short time.
and the usual quantities of dry hay
and fodder should be fed before pas
turing. 1t is considered dangerous to
turn cattle on rank, green feed when
the weather is muggy and the air is
moisture laden and charged with cleo
tricity.
Equal parts of salt and slaked lime,
placed where cattle can have free a c
cess to it, is recommended as being
likely to reduce the chances of bloat.
During the season of danger from
bloat it is we'll to visit the herd at
pasture frequently during the day so
that instant help may be given.
Two ounces of %turpentine admins
tered in a quart Of warm, new milk or
in a pint of raw linseed oil. is good
for a bloated COW. and if necessary,
may be repeated in an hour. When
all signs of bloat have disappeared a
physic should be given, providing no
oil has been previously administered
to the cOw.-Dr. \. A. Alexander, Col
lege of Agriculture, University Of Wis

Tbros~n Up BY the WAGES
BY WALTER L. CA

Parks, twenty-one years old and come
ly. She appeared to be a lady. but
was shabbily dressed. I was informed
that her uncle had been lost on the
missing vessel from Rio. l brought
out the paper l had found, which I
had carefully kept, and as soon as
she saw. it she said she believed that
it had been written by her uncle. Some
of his letters were produced, and all
doubt was removed. The message,
though scrawled hastily in a trembling
hand, was found to correspond with
the uncle's writing.
l was then told that Miss Parks had
been brought up by this uncle, who
was wealthy, he being unmarried and
without children. After he had been
declared legally dead the courts had
set about administering his estate and
had already found forty persons who
were heirs at. law.
Since Mr.. Weatherby. the mar who
had been shipwrecked, had given Miss
Parks to understand that she was to be
his heir it was likely that the will men,
toned in the message gave his proper
ty to her. But the desk-where was
it? Mr.. Weatherby's furniture had
been sold a year before. Who had
bought the desk? No one could tell.
Since l had gone SO far in the matter
l did not propose to be beaten now.
Advertising having availed, I adver-
tised for the person who had bought
a desk at a sale of the effects of Cyrus
Weatherby. In due time l received a
reply from the purchaser. wrote him
that a niece of the deceased wished to
redeem it and asked him to fix a price,
He said he would sell it for 500. Miss
Parks had no money to pay for it, so
l mailed the man a check for the
amount. The desk was sent to me
and, taking it into a cellar, l chopped
it into kindling wood. Among the rub
bish lay the papers in a secret draw.
err, and, taking this up, 1 found one
marked Last Will and Testament OF
Cyrus Blake Weatherby." l read it
and found that he left all his property
to his beloved niece Edith Parks.
That same evening l called on Miss
Parks with the will that changed her
| condition from poverty to wealth. She
! sat like a statue staring at the paper
as though she were looking through ii
rather than at it. l asked her what
she was thinking about, but she did
not hear me. Isrepeated the question,
and, apparently awakening from a
| dream. she said:
1T doesn't seem possible that uncle,
about to die III a boundless ocean, too
wrought upon to give my address
could have reached me among the mil
| lions of people of the EARTH"
l did not tell her so, but she soor
came to recognize me as the instru
ment chosen by Providence to find her
After awhile she rewarded me by
! giving me herself.

Many Of the Popular Modern Sayings

Much of the current slang supposed
to be modern is not new. For in
stance. kid" Child goes back as far
at least as Massinger's "Old Law

II am old, you say. Yes; parlous
old, kids, and you mark me we'll"
Kidnap Ito nab a kid was certainly
not a new word to De Foe or Bunyan.
ITO skip out, is accounted slang, but
in Wycltf's translation of the Bible
we read, "Whanne barnabas and poul
herdep this, thei skipten out"
In Ralph Roster Doister," the first
English comedy, about the middle Of
the sixteenth century, an actor says,
NAY dame, 1 will fire thee out Of my.
house," which certainly has a modern
ring.
Goldsmith in 1.-The Good Natured
Man" Q76S) says, IF. the man comes
from the Cornish borough you must
do him." and this will require no gloss
for the modern reader.
Not in it, is found in S~hakespeare's
winters Tale" They have. a dance
which the wenches say is a gallimau.
fry of gambols because they are not

err knew exactly when he was born.
He thought it was May l. but his biog-
raphers are not at all agreed on the
point-their dates ranging from April
% to May 6. The discrepancy proba-
bly, arose from the confusion between
the old and new styles Of reckoning
time. Queen Victoria. ut any rate. was

of the Iron dukes birth. seeing that
she gave his name. Arthur, to her SOL

Grain For Horses.

matter in the grain are disayrceable to
the animals and are injurious. Use Il

seeds to fall out before feeding. Some
pour water over the grain in the sieve
or dip the sieve of grain in a bucket or

If You Can Your Heart IL strona
Enough to Survive A~naesthetic.
DR.. w. a. Schtange describes in the
Roussky Vratch an easy test which he
las devised to determine whether a pa
tient who has been told that he must
undergo surgical treatment is in con-
dition to survive the administration Of
an anaesthetic. If the patient is unable
to hold his breath for twenty seconds
the indications are that his heart is
so weak that he could not be subjected
to the strain likely to be imposed by
the anaesthetic.
General anaesthesia is particularly
dangerous to persons suffering from
myocardial changes, a condition which
does not permit Of ready recognition.
For this reason the simple test sug-
gested by DR.. w. a. Schtange will be
welcome by the anaesthetist if extend.
ed experience should verify the doctors
assertions
The test is based on the fact that a
healthy person can suspend breathing
from thirty to forty seconds. This, the
author states. depends not on the lung
capacity, but on the vigor of the heart
muscle. In persons with weak hearts
the time is shortened to twenty or
even ten seconds. The patient, seated
in a chair. is told to take a moderately
deep inspiration and with the mouth
closed to hold his breath as long as he
can. The shorter the time the patient
can suspend breathing the greater the
danger Of an anaesthetic, the latter be-
ing contraindicated if the time is less
than twenty seconds.-New York Medi-
cal Journal.

discharge of water from the eyes so
severe that the short wool on the sides
Of the face becomes sticky and matted.
Shortly after this is noticed there will
be an eruption formed on the ball
of the eye that grows and grows till
1t has spread over the greater part Of

Taken ut the beginning, when the
eyelids begin to swell, the disease may
be checked by the use of Il boric acid
solution. Take the boric acid crystals
and put them in the water. letting the
water take up all the crystals that it
will dissolve. Use this saturated solu-
ton as an eye wash, sponging off
the lambs eyes with it two or three
times daily.
Sore mouth in lambs may come from
feeding on some irritating substance.
In other instances it may be something
far moro dangerous. There is such il
thing as Zip and leg Sore that is
highly contagious and should be care
fully treated when it makes its appear
ance. 1t has no connection whatever
with sore eyes in lambs. but is II of

This Zip and leg sore" trouble is
caused by Il disease germ that has been
located, identified and named bacillus

makes it's appearance on the lips. al
though it may appear first on the legs.
In the worst cases it is found III ulcer
atoms OH both the lips and the legs
and sometimes on other parts of the
body.
When such Il disease makes its APP
pearance the sheep that are affected
should be isolated ut once. If the
lambs have been kept in Il barn OF
