The ladies were simply looking at the game about a couple of yards from on *of the seats. It struck f«! ? at«? f th"re WM any d»«ger of being h».by the ball, and they ware willing to iiskit, the matter was on« that did hot mil" for outside interference.

BLOOD POISONING IN SHEEP.

TO THE EDITOR.

Slß,—Would you kindly allow me space m your columns to make a few|rem&tkß m reference to blood-poisoning, or anthrax m sheep. After careful peraual of the paper of my friend, Mr Oliver, on thie subject, I have been induced to give you my experience on the subject. In the year 1886, I was the occupier of two farms one at Lauriston, known as Moir's, the other at Ohettsey, known as Bellevue. I had on both places about 3000 sheep, equally divided between both farms. After commencing shearing on Moir'a arm, my sheep died at the rate of twenty J'|U» d W and when we finished the ttui found my losses amounted to about . 50 sheep-or equal to ten per cent of the whole. Ihe oTher portion of my flock was shorn at Bellevue, where they were grassing, with almost the same reaolt, and on closing my shearing for the season I found my total loss on both farms was about 300 sheep. In the following year, 1886, nay flock had increased to about 4000. I again shore on both farms, with almost identical results, and my total losses for the two years were equal to 700, or to ton per cent of those shown. I be- Jieve I was the first man to suffer losses from .anthrax on the Ashburton and Rakaia plains, and at that time, as the cause of my troule was unknown to me, as to many others, I was naturally anxious to investigate the matter. From various report* I was led to believe that the cause of roy losses was other than the right one, aiid until I met my Wend Mr Adam Jack son. I was unable to come to any con clusion as to the cause of the diseas*. After a consultation with him on the sub ject, and from my previous experience, I had no hesitation m agreeing with him as to the causa of my losses. Now sir, take note that the decrease of my flock was equal on both places. On Bellevue I kept considerably more than 100 pigs—on Moir's farm there were no pigs, wich the exception of one or two kept m a small »t>- close to the housre, and at a distance of about twenty chains from the ahtd where the sheep were shorn. I think this is clear proof that, pigs are not the solo cause of infesting the soil with filth sufficient to produce germs of disease. My belief is that any animal, from the pis? to the finialles*- or largest kind, if not to a like dpgree, will accumulate venomous matter sufficient tosaturate the soil with food to feed or produce the parasites re quired to perform the deadly work. Sur f ice cleaning is quite necessary, as surface filth is the future cause of trouble ; but directly this cleaning is of no great benefit, b: cause tie greatest tknger is lying underneath the surface, and atmospheric influence direcfci the poisonous matter from the soil at, will. .Therefore n,y belief ia that this parasitic poison cannot be dislodged, and the germs are below tho surface, and no surface cleaning via cVar the yards of them. 1 do not bfiy that one cannot ehear hn sheep on the same spot without loss, as this can be done by anyone who thoroughly under- B<«ndsh,isfbu^nessj but to a m<m who who bfv* had no experitnce with blood poisoning, it would be better to shift his quarters. In tho second year of my looses, a neighbor could nnt understand how I was, losing so many sheep, and criticised me by saying that it must, be through bad management. He was cor rect ; but I did nor. know how to manage better then, and be could not give me any information. But the next year my critic lost a largo number of his own sheep from the same cauee. JNow sir, so far as science and prajticability are concerned, no remedy, or at bat no cure, for anthrax has been found; bufc fortunately the disease is not contagious, and at most f.>ur days terminate all further losses after being turned out of the shed. Generally forfcyeight hours terminate the trouble, and m some cases they die m Jess >han twenty-four hours— so deadly is tha disease. As no cure is available* the only study ia prevention. Sheep m prime condition are much more li%bl«tobe aUacked, more especially if fihe .she^p have been feeding on rich olmr previomly to being shorn, as the Sbomuvh and intestines aro then full of gaseous mauor aud Ihe blood boh rich and full j and if special care v not exer cised m sivir.ir rh« nhecp from getting hnaled by tran^misfciun to the shearing shed, the result is most dangerous as a mea-m of saving fat sheep, they should ho poured on moderately bare pasture «T"irrftHH, if possible--for afc le;m a fort ivglit: before *h-tiring ; and if there is any Hj>iireh.«nsicn of damrer they should not be allowed to remain m the yards ion« before being shorn, krpfc free from draughts, and when shorn turned away from !he shed at once into a clean pad dock, where there is shelter, as a chill is a smmg avjent m fostering the disease. J here are different lotions that can be apj-iied to m y shear cuts that may be made, but the*e remedies will not save the auimal if affected, and will not go a great way m preventing its Jos3. bat they keep the flies away. A scratch is much more dangerous m admitting poison than a bloody wound, as thr flow of blood carries away the poisonous matter, dheep should be brought into the shed m as bard a state as possible, and turned out again before i.bey feel the pangg of hunger, never kept m a dirty pen wiih the object of branding. They should be returned to the yards m about a week alter to be branded, when all fear of poisonous matter is gone, and the she&r cv's or f-cratchew are dried up All this care is rt'jt necessary if danger is not ap prohemlecl, Symptoms of disease shown nytheauinnl are r\ high state of fever, dropping r>f the earc, crunching of ihe teeth, a discharge of salivary matter generally ftom the mouth and nostrils, a Btrotjcc Irclination to find shelter, as tbey Mv generally found dead by a potso fence, and m moat cases before death they are swollen and Ume on the quarter aflVcted. Mortification seems to twmimto (he trouble, confined generally to one quarter. Thi* is the reason for Wood punfminjf being calkd blackleg m Sco'. -(*jid.-~lam, etc,

Sir,- I hsve great pleasure m testifying to the wonderful cure effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cube. I had suffered for three years, and rpsnt a good deal m doctors and meJioinos, but got nore'iaf. I was obliged to walk with toe help of a et:ck, and had given up all hopes oi ever getting better. I was unable to bend my knee, suffering great pain, which made me sometimes faint. I got on« bottle of the LONDON BHEUMAIIO CUBE, and the fitet rubbing gave me such relief that I oould leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick and go abou* my work as usual. Ob, euoh a change ! ] was suffering also with my wrists and hands, and was unable lo sew or knit for a long time. I ruboed them well with the Cure, and oan now do my sewing, knitting, and house work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished at roe, and I advise them all to use the LONDON BBEUMATIC CUBE for all their ooatpiaints. You can use this as you please. Mrs Andrew Gabddeb, Sefton, October 21, 1890. I hereby bear testimony to the g< eat relief go tby using the LONDON KHEUMATIC CUBE. I was suffering terrible pain mmy shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me from working and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have m their possession. I never had its equal. P.:;Bebby*4n. Springbank, Moeraki, Maroh 5,1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful effects the LONDON BHEUMATIO CUBE. I bave suffered with chilblains for years. I tried everything, but never got be ter. I tried th» LONDON BHEUMATIO CUBE, and three rubbings completely cured me. lam thank ful there is such a remedy. I advise every, one to always bave it m their house. You oan make this public if you wish, Fbedk. Mitchell, Doyleston, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON BHEUMATIG CUBE is marvellous. I had a very sore back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of which have been completely cured by its use. I rave also cured my neighbors of their tbeumatism, epraine, chilblains and sore hroats. It has no equal; everyone should use it. Mas K'eCAusiiAND. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker Dear Sir,—l eaa testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON. DON BHEUMATIO CUBE. I wbb suffering badly with rheumatics m my hands and Wiißtd ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and am thankful to tell you they are quite etter. Thomas Gulncex Ashburton, Outober, 1893. Your LONDON BHEUMATIC CUBE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matte fever and was a good while m the bands of the doctors; at last jt seemed all to lodge mmy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stick. The doctor at last sdvieed me to go to Christohuroh and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, aa there foetned no ours for me. I heard of the LONDON BHEUMATIO CURE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my sucks and to resume business, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. MACPHER3ON. L wer High Street, Ohristohureh, May 1893 I have been a sufferer from Chilblains since a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet were so bad that on Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at the artesian and stand m this till shutting time. I tried everything, but never got a cure, waa advised this winter to try the LONDON BHEUMATIC CUBE, and to my astonish- j ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the firat winter I oan remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Bice Sold by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for Colony R. WALKER, Woolston . anal Reserve. DOLLAR CIGARETTES—3d.
