DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.
Mr. T. E. Dowling, of T. F. Davis

following from the Bureau of Agri
culture in reply to a lstter describing
the disease now raging among the cattic
in this community:

Mr. T. E. Dowling, Winnsboro, S. C.:
Sir: Referring to your le:ter of the
lGth instant, crom the desciiotion
given it is probable that the catfie to
which you refer were affected with
Texas cr Southern cattle fever. Xo
remedy has been discovered for this
disease, but from investigations conducted
by this department it has been
ascertained that the dise.ise U co.ntnunicated
by cattle ticks. Cattle which
arc susceptible to this disease s-lnuld
be separated from those which have
ticks upon them, and an important
| means of preventing the spread of the
I disease is to carefully remove the ticks
I found uoon the cattle. These should
be destroyed, preferably bv scraping
them off and buruin?. it is liow.'mry
to repeat this operation fnq ion =;y, as
several broods of the tick? apje.r and
should be cleaned off.

Is it "overwork" that has tilled this

that takes tbe flesh off their bones, the
vitality from their blood, and makes
them feeble, emaciated and inefficient?
No. It i3 bad cooking, overeating of
indigestible stuff, and other healthdestroying

Physicians all over the country are
prescribing Norman's Neutralizing
Cordial. They feel assured that thei*e
is no finer remedy for the diseases it
claims to cure, viz: Dyspepsia and all
forms of Stomach troubles. A. H.

are waiting for it." 25 and 50c. "In

Lord Wolsely, commander-in-chief
of the British army, has publicly announced
that "'the meteor flag of
England" wili never again b2 carried
into battle, in land fights at least.
In presenting new colors to a regiment
recently lie said: "In future it would
be madness and a crime to order any
man to carry colors ioto action. You
nrghl quite as well order liim to be
assassinated. The Germans carry the
poles on which the colors used to be,
so that they attract no notice in action.
"We have had most reluctantly to
abandon a practice to which we attached
great ^importance, and which,
under past and gone conditions of
fighting, was invaluable in keeping
alive the regimental spirit upon which
onr British troops depended so much."
