Tuberculoid Ant mala.
Serious attempts have been made In
certain parts of the country to eradi
cate the disease by destroying all re
acting animals. "Such a course is un
doubtedly too drastic, and it has met
with perBlsteut opposition. It is a ques
tion whether such methods are war
ranted or not Certainly, such a course
is sure to defeat the very end desired,
1. e., the co-operation of all In eradi
cating the disease. There is nothing
that would be more beneficial to the
stock Interests of the country than the
widespread application of the test, but
It is hardly possible to hope for such an
extension where such severe measures
are applied.-
From experiments already made un
der different auspices It Is evident that
thfr progress of the disease can be
stopped by the Isolation of all reacting
animals. The least affected animals
can, with care, be used for breeding
purposes, and if the calves are sep
arated at birth and fed on boiled or pas
teurised milk. It la possible, within a
relatively short time, to build up a
strictly healthy herd from affected par
ents. Wisconsin Agriculturist
The) Alaike Clorer.
This clover resembles the large red
clover, except the stem Is much finer,
though It srows to about the same
height It makes an excellent hay,
which Is much relished by all kinds of
. stock. We were led to try alslke or
Swedish clorer by Allen, the author of
the American Farm Book, and, after a
trlarof It for some years, would strong
ly advise anyone wanting a good feed
ing clover to try it. - It should be sown
on high, dry, well-drained sod. It re
quires the same care and cultivation as
red clover. It may be sown either with
timothy or with red clover. A good
mixture for one acre Is three quarts of
alsike clover seed; four quarts of red
clover seed, and six quarts of timothy
clover seed. Sow the timothy in the
fall and the clovers the la:t of Febru
ary. The seed is made in the first crop;
the second crop may be pastured. It Is
a very fragrant clover, the heads being
full of sweet juice. It makes a fine bee
food. The American.
Pare Water for Milch Cows. .
Experience has shown that water
.which looks pure and clear may have
In it the germs of the worst diseases,
and if so there is possibility that these
may go Into the milk. On the other
band, water that looks mnddy from
contact with soil may be entirely free
from any germs that are Injurious,
The danger from germs in milk, we
believe, has been much exaggerated.
The safe way Is to keep cows from
drinking any water where there Is a
possibility that It has been Infected
with germs of typhoid fever or diph
theria. It Is the milk producer's Inter
est to strictly guard against any
chance of Infection, as wherever such
a case occurs It Is sure to spread un
reasonable fears and Injure his busi
ness. Exchange. ' - . . .
Keeping Froat from Cellars.
The unsightly banks of horse manure
piled against the basement walls of
farm houses are not needed to keep out
frost. They are worse than unsightly,
for the odor from decaying manure
affects a sense more sensitive than
si: lit. If a second wall of brick or
sione is laid two inches from the cellar
wall, and its top tightly Joined to the
building above, this dead air space will
keep out frost better than will a three
foot bank of horse manure. Some
householders make the protection in
side with a dead air space enclosed
with matched boards, or, better still,
covered with paper siding, which is
better than boards for , securing
warmth to any building.
Growing Beet Seed.
Beet seed Is so easily grown that It
Is always very cheap. let we believe
In farmers growing their own beet
seed, provided they will grow the best.
It Is not the beet that produces the
most seed that Is best for planting. If
btets, or any other root for that matter,
are planted so early In spring that they
grow tough and stringy roots, such
roots will produce a great amount of
seed, but it will produce If sown at any
time plants that are like Its parent. It
Is thus that roots degenerate Into some
thing like thei)r original wild condition.
A moderate-sized root grown quickly
after midsummer, and In very rich
ground, will be tender and good until
late in the Bpring. Buch a root will not
produce as much seed as a tough,
stringy one, but Its seed will bring
much more satisfactory crops. Amer
ican Cultivator.
Salt as an Insecticide.
The use of salt as an insecticide, or
vermin destroyer, is not sufficiently
known among the farming community.
Many a farmer has lost dollars and dol
lars, simply because he did not know
what virtue there is In salt How many
times has a farmer ploughed up acres
of a crop attacked by some worm or
caterpillar, re-sown the land, and all
because he did not know that salt
would have killed the worm and im
proved his crop. Last year a case was
reported through tke press, and vouch
ed for as correct A farmer had a ten
acre field of oats attacked by the army
worm. The whole ten acres was In
such a condition he decided to plow
them all up and re-sow. 'An an experi
ment be left an acre, to which he gave
a dressing of 300 pounds of refuse salt
Three days afterward he gave the
same acre another 300 pounds of refuse
. salt. The result traa that on that acre
he had a good yield of oats, and had he
only known he might have saved the
whole ten acres. Salt for such pur
uoses is simply invaluable.
Storing Hoot Crop.
The most serious obstacle in the way
of growing root crops turnips, beets,
carrots and parsnips Is the storage for
winter. Potatoes must not be exposed
to the light, and severe cold, with alter
nate freezing and thawing, forces the
fanner to provide the best storage facil
ities In order to avoid loss. The old
method of" storing in pits Is still fol
lowed, bat there are yer'oda during the
winter when the ground Is frozen as
hard a Iron, and the pits cannot bo
opened except with some risk. Tur
nips can be grown at a small cost, but
a bulky crop Is diffleult to store In a
manner to have the roots always avail
able. Farmers who have discarded all
bruised or injured Bueciraens have been
successful In storing carrots, parsnips,
turnips and beets lu bins, using layers
of clean, dry sand, followed by layers
of the roots, the bins being In cellars or
barns, by which arrangement they cau
use them at any time, but the method
will not answer where large fields of
such crops are grown.
Feeding Poultry.
The farm Is the place on which to en.
gage lu poultry for market and not the
small lots or plots. It Is also proper
to keep all kinds of poultry, and not
bens only. As long as the farmereou
tlnues to rely on grain he- will feed hi
fowls at a cost much greater than is
necessary, and by varying the food
from grain to more bulky substances ho
can grow a lurge Bhare of the feeding
materials ou the farm and have his
customers, therefore, right at his door
in the form of the fowls. If a Dock of
hens will thrive on grass during the
summer season, and will keep In better
condition thereon, as well as produce
more eggs than on more expensive
foods, why should he buy foods aud
feed his poultry until he destroys the
very condition he desires? Mirror and
Farmer.
Plowing Quack Grass Too Deeply,
It Is possible to kill quack grass by
what Is known by double plowing the
land This is accomplished by running
the plow In the furrow already made.
and thus making a trench twelve or
fourteen Inches deep. This Is repeated
after each furrow Is turned, so that
the surface soil Is entirely reversed and
the subsoil takes Its place. The top
furrow should go deeply enough to go
below all the quack roots and turn
them under the second furrow, wlil
will require both a strong plow and an
extra heavy team to tnrn on top of the
other. But though quack grass may be
killed by this heroic method, It will
take several years of good cultivation
to fit the subsoil thus turned up for
growing good crops.
Overdriving Heavy Horses.
Heavy draught horses were not made
for fast road travel, and though they
often have the muscle to trot quite
fast It Is always injurious io them to
do so. There ought really to be on
every farm teams for doing the heavy
work and teams for doing the market
ing and for pleasure driving. It makes
a great difference when a heavy horse,
weighing i,JSA) pounds or more, goes
over a hard roadbed, as compared with
a light road horse doing the same thing,
No bone or muscle can be strong
enough to endure the hard pounding
which a heavy draughts borse makes In
trotting. His feet will "go wrong," as
horsemen say, and a horse with poor
feet Is not much good anywhere.
Preparing the Colts' Food.
It Is welJ to prepare the colt's food
so that It shall be palatable, nutritious
and easily digested. A good means of
doing this is to mix fine-cut clover hay
along with oat chop, bran and oil cake;
moisten this with hot water, covering
np with a non-conducting material, and
allow It to remain in this state for
twelve hours, when It will be in A suita
ble condition to feed. A small propor
tion of wheat middlings will not be
amiss In this mixture, not even a few
boiled turnips or carrots, providing
they are found to give appetising prop
erties. Green corn and green clover
prove very suitable fodder. Prairie
Farmer.
Shredded Ensilage,
After shredding our ensilage for sev
eral years, we tilled the silo oue year
with cut ensilage and found it neces
sary at once to brace all sides to keep
it from bulging out thus proving that
ensilage shredded exerts much less lat
eral Bpace than that which is cut. This
feature would probably not be consid
ered of bo much Importance by those
whose silos arat already constructed
with reference to the use of cut en
silage, but In case a new silo is to be
put up it can undoubtedly be built tor
much less money by the shredder.

Stabling Cows in Had Weather.
So soon as fall rains begin, cows,
especially those giving milk, should be
stabled. The effect of rain on the hair
of an animal is to Induce heavy evap
oration, which, of course, chills the
animal, much as would the wearing of
heavy woolen coat, saturated with
rain during the entire night. There Is
no w&y to keep up milk supply after
wet weather begins except by stabling
the cows. The wet weather Is really
much more Injurious to the animal
than dry, cold weather could be.
Phosphates and Aahea.
You ask for experience of anyone
that has tried phosphate and axhes. I
found that my land was more deficient
In potash than other elements of plant
food. I mixed equal parts of phos
phate and ashes, aud used 200 pounds
to the acre for corn with good results.
I have used it two years with good suc
cess. One year was very dry, and this
year uncommonly, wet. Baltimore
American. ;
Wheat or Corn for Fattening.
Many of the experiment stations
have been testing the value of wheat
as compared with corn for fattening
cattle, and give the preference to corn
as better food for the purpose as well
as the cheaper of the two. When ground
and mixed wlthporn, oats and oatmeal,
wheat has a value in giving a needed
variation of diet
Farm Notea " '
There Is no bedding so suitable for
hogs as leaves, and for sows having
broods leaves cannot be surpassed.
They retain warmth, can easily be re
moved, and cost only the labor of col
lecting and storage.
The garden plot should be plowed In
the fall and then covered three or four
Inches with manure free from litter,
worked In wfth a cultivator. In the
spring the plot will be ready for seed
early and the manure will quickly de
compose. "
When a farmer becomes so busy as to
be unable to work every portion of his
farm It Is the best evidence that he has
too much land. The succesKful farm
ers are those who seek to bestow thor
ough cultivation . to every acre, and
small farms give a larger profit propor
tionately than farms where crops can
be grown on only a portion every year.
THE PATRIOTS' MANIFESTO.
Issa.sl by
the Cnbaa Constitutional
Assembly,
New York, Not. 89. The Cuban
constitutional assembly, which met re
cently at Cauiaguey, to remodel tli
coiitstitution and elect a new president,
issued manifesto, whioh reached the
office of the Cuban junta in this city
today.. The document n dated Dnyaya,
October 80, 1897, and is signed
Domingo Mende Capote, as president
of the assembly. - The manifesto is the
address of "The representatives of the
Cuban people to all those who have in
ilcpeiulenee and the future wplfare of
Cuba at heart." The document say
the assembly, before adjourning,
deemed it its duty to proclaim, among
other things:
"That no rpecial laws, no form of
autonomy; nothing, in short, that th
Spanish government may be willing
to Kraut, that means Spanish . sov
ereiguty over Cuba, will be accepted
by Cubans as a settlement pf the war
Independence or death shall be the un
alterable and sacred motto ot the Cu
bans.
Cubans have not resorted to arms
in order to obtain any political meas
tires which do not, onoe aud for all
solve the Cuban question. That is the
reason we will accept nothing short of
absolute independence.
"It is our purpose to .constitute an
nuleendent state, orderly, prosperous
and happy, over the ruins of a worn-
out colony. We are firmly determined
to carry on the war until victory or
death crowns our efforts."
Autonomy at Last
Madrid, Nov. 29. The official fra
aette publishes today the royal decrees
granting autonomy to Cuba and Porto
Hico, thus removing the anxiety that
bad begun to be expressed on all sides
as the result of the government a reti
cenee and unexplained delay.
Article. 1 explains the principle of
the future government of the two
islands. Article decrees that the
government of each island shall be
composed of an insular parliament, di
vided into two chambers, whiles gov
ernor-general, representing the home
govermnment, shall exercise in its
name the supreme authority. Artiole
3 declares that the faculty of making
laws for colonial affairs rests with the
insular ohambers and the governor-
general. Article 4 directs that the in
sular representation shall be composed
of two corporations, with equal power,
chamber ot representatives and a
counoil of administration. Article 6
provides that the council of adminis
tration shall consist of 35 members, of
whom 18 shall be elected and 17 nomi
nated by the home government
Artiole 6 provides that members ol
the counoil must be Spaniards 35 years
of age, who have resided in Cuba con
tinuously for four years. It specifies
numerous officials, such as senators,
presidents of courts and of chambers of
commerce and other bodies as eligible
to election to the council. Artiole 7 to
14 deal with nominations and the con
ditions of election to councils. Article
15 empowers the throne or the gover
nor-general to convoke, Suspend or dis
solve the chambers, with an obligation
to reassemble them within three
months.
CHEERED FOR AMERICA.
iileaed Prisoners Brought on a IMot
In I'orto Itico.
Havana, Nov. 29. Advices from
Porto Kioo eay a riot occurred there
yesterday. It appears that a atesmer
having on board a number of political
prisoners, recently released from the
Spanish penal settlement on the Afri
can coast, in accordance with the am
nesty decree, arrived there, and the
berated men were allowed to land.
They soon fonnd their way to a drink-
iig saloon, partook of stimulants and
began cheering for the United States,
crying:
Hurrah for free America."
This demonstration wsa resented by
le crowds about the place, and rioting
followed. The police were called upon
to interfere, and compelled the liber
ated men to re-embark. During the
disturbance, the police arrested the in
surgent, Colonel Aliposanchez.
Senor Marcos Garcia, the governor of
Santa Clara, has arrived at Sagna, in
order to be better able to judge of the
condition of the reconcentradoes. From
thia day, these unfortunate people will
receive rations.
The Spanish authorities today re
leased from prison Thomas J. Jordan,
a prisoner captured, according to the
allegations, after the landing of an ex
pedition by the American schooner
Three Friends, and Emanuel Hernan
dez, who is said to have been a mem
ber of another filibustering expedition.
Both men were under sentence of
death. The government has also re
leased from prison Juan Aria, Augus
tine Cossio, Emil Betancourt and Ko

Baker City, Or., Nov. 29. A fatal
accident occurred last evening at the
Elkhorn -Bonanza mine. In some un
accountable manner James Cagel ignit
ed some giant powder, and the whole
magazine exploded with a force which
almost jarred the mountain. The on
fortunate miner was killed as if struck
by a lightning bolt, his body being
mangled in a frightful manner. Thoa.
Hopkins was painfully though not fa
tally injured.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 29. Following
the requests of the boards of trade and
the Commercial Club of Louisville,
come numerous lettera nrging Governor
Bradley to appoint his daughter, Miss
Christine, who is now in school in
Washington, D. C, to christen the
new battle-ship Kentucky. While it
is somewhat embarrassing for the gov
ernor to confer the honor on a member
of bis own family, it is quite likely
that he will comply with these popular
requests.
Prairie Fire In New. Mexico.
Clayton, N. M., Nov. 29. A prairie
fire is sweeping over the country sonlh
of this point. The grass is very high,
and there has been no rain for weeks.
The course of the fire is through the
great range belt, and for over 200 miles
there is no barrier In its path. Thou
sands of sheep are in danger.
Coal tar, when used for dyes, yields
16 shades of blue, the same number of

No decided change have occurred In
wheat valuea during the week. Th
market has been principally noted for
the absence of general speculation and
the presence of several arguments that
apparently warrant an advanoe. Crop
advices in America, while showing an
Improvement in condition of the grow
ing crop, most certainly indicate a do
creased area seeded. . Tho nowa fruin
the Argentine crop has been sensation
al. General frosts have occurred, but
the extent of the damage, if any, is
only a matter of conjecture. The exact
facts cannot be ascertained for some
time yet. Roporta from Husaia assert
the rye crop to be very abort and tho
oat crop poor. The export demand am
timioa unabated, and In exoesa of our
weekly surplus. It is matter of re
cent history that export countries are
liable to sou more than their available
lurplus of breadstuffs and be forced to
become importers. Thia la evidenced
in the case of Australia and the Argen
tina during the past year, and should
our export clearance continue at the
present rata it Is entirely possible that
i . .
ara large, compared with last year, and
visible atocka continue to increase.
When the high valuea are taken into
consideration together with the large
crop produced last year, it la a matter
of surprise that the primary receipt
are not much larger. Advioea from
the northwest Indicate that the move
ment from first bauds la decreasing.
Export clearances of wheat aud flour
for the week were fl,658,7Bl bushels.
Large sales for export have been made
during the week, partly the result of
apprehended damage to the Argentine
orop. .
The local speculative condition of the
wheat market is very unsatisfactory.
There is an absence of general aiecula
tive interest due partly to high values,
but more particularly to the small
stocks and the presence of more or less
manipulation in the market. A large
short interest extata entirely out of pro
portion to existing atocka -There is
nothing in the general situation to war
rant any decline. The result of the
Argentine crop seeing to be the determ
ining factor regarding future values.
Until the result is definitely known It
seema that present valuea will be fully
maintained and probably advanoed.
There has been decided Improve
ment in the cash demand for corn,
both for Eastern account and for ex
port. The government report, eatimal
ing the crop yield at 1.803,000,000
bushels, ia not credited by the trade
and entirely unwarranted according to

Water for Blood.
M. Quiutou, as a consequence ol hit
researches iu evolution, believes that
as all the higher organisms, according
to Hie teachings of evolution, have as
cended from a leas highly organised
marine ancestry, the liquid which
bathes all the owl la of the Individual
0 in; lit to lie chemically ilmllar to sea
water. During experiment made at
the college of France a dog was bled to
such an extent that death would have
inevitably followed had the animal
been left alone. It was then given an
Intravtinoua injection of tea water. Ten
days after the operation the dog
showed, aa tested bv the colorimeter,
a larger proportion ot hemoglobin than
before the blooding. All dogs experi
mented on not only survived, but re
covered with remarkable quickness. M.
Qulnton thinks it la on account of it
holding in suspension th sumo salt
which are constituent of sea water
that artificial serum holda the reputa
tion that it done, ami that ua water la
physiologically superior.
