SWEENY Ul HORSES.
Cause of This Common and Treatment
of the Disease.
Nothing is more distressful to see
or lays a heavier burden of criticism
upon the farmer than the sight of an
otherwise sound and well formed horse
ruined with sweeny, says the Missouri
and Kansas Farmer. If the causes of
this condition were better understood
we have a feeling that farmers would
have fewer animals thus affected. On
many farms during the winter the
' horses do little or no work. When
spring comes and before the muscjes
are toned up tlie heavy work of plow
ing or disking is begun. The draft
tnay not be exceedingly heavy, but it
is steady and unrelenting, and the mus
cles of the shoulders soon become tired.
Then the horse in order to relieve him
self twists his head to one side and
pulls with one shoulder for a time. In
f a little while the nerves of this shoul
der become so compressed and be
numbed that paralysis ensues. The
nerves then are unable to control the
nutrition of the muscles, and they
waste away. This is sweeny.
Sometimes drivers of horses are care
less in the way the crqss lines are ad
justed, so that fhe head of the horse is
pulled to the side, bringing the most of
the strain upon one of the- shoulders.
Then, again, sometimes there is no link
between the singletree and the whiflle
tree, so that the inner end of the for
mer rests upon the latter the moment
one of the horses drops a little behind,
and the entire load is borne by the
outside tug. Horses until they get used
to work should be frequently rested.
If you think their shoulders do not be
come tired just because the draft is
light put a five pound weight on your
shoulder and walk a mile. You would
think nothing of carrying a two bushel
bag of corn a rod or two, but you soon
begin to think it is a dreadful task to
carry a five pound weight even a quar
ter of a mile. Best the horses often
until their muscles become hardened.
Just a word about the treatment of
sweeny. 'Since It Is merely nerve pa
ralysis which lies at the base of the
disease, It Is worse than cruel to put
in rowels and setons. Rub the mus
cles and excite them with liniment
Use the horse with a breast collar at
some light work. The disease Is very
difficult to cure, but It generally can
be mitigated.
Dippipg Swine.
On each aud every farm there should
be some provision made for dipping
swine. This not only proves to be an
easy and effectual method of disin
fecting animals which are being
brought upon the farm, but it also fur
nishes a good way for disposing of
lice. Every swine herd should be
.dipped at least twice a year, in the
spring and in the fall. There are very
few herds of swiue that are not af
fected at some time or other with lice.
Some recommend sprinkling or spray
ing for lice. This is not a very good
way to overcome the difficulty, as the
lice are usually found on the head
close to the ears, under the armpits
and in other secluded places where
spraying could not in any way reach
them. Swine thus affected, when put
through a dipping tank, will be free
from all trouble. W. J. Kennedy.
Loss In Sheep Raising.
The cause of loss in sheep raising
may be summed up as follows: First,
" low condition of the flock at mating
time; second. Insufficient food and shel
ter during winter; third, neglect during
lambing time; fourth, worrying by
dogs; fifth, selling the best lambs and
keeping the culls; sixth, using Inferior
rams, and, seventh, neglecting to de
stroy the ticks. W. S. Fraser.
THE SWINEHERD.
Give the pigs a clean pen, with plen
ty of water and shade.
Burn some cobs to a charcoal and
give the bogs some now and then. It
helps to keep them healthy. ;
When thoroughbred hogs are kept
for breeding purposes, they should b
given every chance for growth rathei
than the production of fat.
Pull up some weeds and throw them
over Into the pen once In awhile and
see how the pigs will hurry after them.
Weeds taste good to them In the spring.
The bog makes better gains on the
same gram feed than any of our do
mestic animals, but the hog cannot use
rough forage as well as cattle, horses
and sheep.
Light hogs for bacon are In good anj
Increasing demand. They make good
meat and are more healthy than the
excessively fat ones often seen on the
market.

Get the hogs to market when they
ag properly fitted. When they get
heavy and do not eat so readily, they
are fitted. When they are fat and up
to a good weight, gain or weight is put
on at an increased cost.
A sow that has proved herself to te
a good breeder should not be fattened
and sold so long as her reproductive
powers are maintained.
Old sows should not be kept ove
unless there is a good chance of get
ting a good litter of pigs. They ar
usualb good bVeeders until up to five
or six years old.
When you butcher the hogs at home,
be clean about it. Do not leave any
thing about the yard to .decay and
breed disease.
If you are troubled- with lice on the
hogs, use kerosene emulsion. Spray
the hogs and spray the pen.
As soon as the grass starts the pigs
should be put In the pasture. Hogs
like pasture short and fresh grown. I.
the grass gets tough and woody, ther
will be a waste. See that every pig
pasture is supplied with fresh, pum
water.
Never select for the head of your pen
a male that is never hearty, but is al
ways mincing and never seems to care
whether he eats or not. Such a hog
has not much rttality.

To the Point.
A young foreigner had recently
arrived in London from his na
tive country, and some friends of
his family arranged a dinner in
his honor. The evening arrived,
the guests invited to meet him were
assembled, but the young fellow
did not appear. A friend called on
him the next day and, reminding
him that he had accepted the invi
tation, inquired why he had not
been present. His reply was in
genuous. "I vas not hungry," he said.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How to Arrange a Bopeep Party For
Small Children.
All the children who are invited
to a Bopeep party should be asked
to come dressed as shepherds and
shepherdesses, not an expensive
garb by any means. The hostess
of the afternoon, probably the
mother or aunt of the heroine of
the day, should be dressed as Mother
Goose, and should receive the chil
dren. Among the prize games played
during the party should be one that
brings forward a large sheep drawn
on muslin. The sheep must be
minus a tail, and the picture must
be pinned upon the wall. Then let
each child be blindfolded and let
him try to pin on the tail in the
correct place. The one who can pin
on the tail nearest to the correct
place receives a prize.
The tea table should be prettily
decorated with a mound of - moss,
in the center of which just as many
woolly lambs as there are children
should stand. As place cards for
the girls have tiny dolls dressed as
Bopeep, with small cards attached,
on which the name of the little
guest is written. The boys may re
ceive balls, jumping jacks and sim
ilar tovs.
How He Painted the Nam.
They tell a good joke on a Maine
captain of a little coasting vessel.
mvs Chicago News. The vessel was '
lying in port, and the captain de-
cided to show the old "salts" about
there how the name should be paint
ed on a boat. He was fully able
to pay a painter to do the job, but
he was stimar. and. jnoieovex he
were proper and
&'Soti
granted to lei' people see how readily
he could "turn his hand to any
thing." So he dropped a float over
board, but, finding that he could not
reach high enough on the bows to
do the painting from that stand
point, he went on deck and leaned
over the side to do the work. The
name that he desired to put on was
Maggie, and having finished the
lettering he went on- shore to take a
look at his work. To his amaze
ment he saw it thus:
Of course you understand how he
made the blunder.

passed quickly from one to another,

all have had the coins, the light is

plied and the players write down the
order in ' which the coins were
passed. The one getting the correct
order, or nearest to it, receives the
prize. Of course, the order is decid
ed upon by the hostess beforehand.
A Freak of Lightning.
A strange freak of lightning is
reported from a town in JNew York,
It found its way into the butler's
pantry of a certain residence, on a
shelf of which were some brilliantly
decorated royal Dresden plates.
The lightning made a . slight dis:
coloration about the edges of sev
eral of the plates, but on the wall
it made several photographs of
them, with the decorations repro
duced, colors and all. Here, in an
instant, the electric fluid did what
men have been trying in vain to do
for many years it took a photo
graph in colors.

DYSPEPSIA.
Cure It by Observing a Few Important
Rules of Health.
It is amazing that so common a
difficulty as dyspepsia should be so
little understood by the general
public and that its remedy should
be so hard to find. But it can be
cured and without any marvelous
nostrums by observing a few impor
tant rule3 of health. The dyspeptic
must first fix in his mind the fact
that his ailment is the result of bad
habits of eating and living and that
these must be changed,; that drugs
will do him no good. He must be
gin by avoiding all starchy foods,
as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, beans,
etc. Meats, soft boiled eggs, milk
toast, zwieback, etc., are the best
foods for avoiding fermentation and
the gas that causes dyspeptic pains.
In serious cases buttermilk is one
of the best dependencies. Another
is boiled milk with a slight addition
of limewater. Either of these will
enable the most chronic dyspeptic
to procure some sustenance without
serious distress. He should drink
freely of hot water, " at least two
quarts a day, always taking a glass
half an hour before mealtime. He
should not crowd his meals close to
gether, as with an impaired diges
tion it is often best to have the
meals six or seven hours or more
BTmrt. The rule to be followed ;is
that" a new meal should not "be eaten
until the previous one is digested
; or out of the way and the stomach
1 has liad a little rest,' and there must
be further rest after eating.
It is absolutely essential to eat
slowly and chew with the greatest
. thoroughness, ? Complete chewing
in the mouth, permitting no wash
ing down withf coffee or tea, sali
vates the food so that it is ready for
; digestion ' when it goes into the
stomach, . and persistence in the
practice will put good flesh on any
lean dyspeptic. There is a theory
that when solid food is chewed in
the mouth to an absolute pulp the
organs in the back of the . mouth
exercise a selective action and send
to the stomach only that which is
fitted to be converted into blood and'
tissue, thus relieving the digestive
organs of handling the waste.
Whether or not this is correct is for
the science of the future to deter
mine. - Certain it is that nature gave
us grinding teeth for the purpose of
chewing our food and never intend
ed that we should swallow it tin
chewed, as do those animals having
more than one stomach. Charles
H. Cochrane in, Metropolitan Maga
zine. Living Snow. -,
One of the most curious sights in
northwestern Canada is that oi liv
ing snow. There a curious phe
nomenon is seen in the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
when a thaw occurs. During the
winter the snow is dry and crisp,
like sand, and . nothing whatever
can be discovered of these -insects,
but as soon" as a thaw comes they
are found everjTvhere in large
patches, looking like a dusting of
soot. They are generally known as
snow fleas, or jumpers, and have
slight hopping powers, being able to
leap three or four inches. They en
tirely disappear when it freezes
again, and not a trace of them can
be found. They do not fall with
the snow, as there may have been
no snow for a month or more be
fore their arrival, and are probably
something similar to the "red snow"
of the arctic regions. Dundee Advertise-
