Warming Against the Cattle Plague.

Our Minister to Russia has addressed
letter to the Secretary of State, in which
he says
81 deem it my duty to warn the United
States against the importation Of the cat.
tie plague into our country. Being a
farmer, and feeling great interest in
such subjects, have read everything
upon the subject which is accessible, and
will give you only the result of my con-
clusions and observations. The cattle
plague is the Russian cattle pest in this
country. 1t is always more or less prev
alent, and generally kills whole herds.
Like cholera, it is both contagious and in
fictitious. BY these terms l mean to say
it is communicated from one animal to
another by the physical imposition of the
virus upon any animal from any object
containing the virus; and also that the
virus may be carried in molecules in the
air, and thus produce the disease. 1t ev-
identity did not originate de nOUo in Eng
land, but was carried there by ship loads
of cattle from the Russian Baltic ports.
If this theory is correct, then all impor-
tation of cattle from abroad should at
once be prohibited by Congress, if not
otherwise possible to be prevented. And
it would pay we'll to call Congress togeth-
er for that purpose only. No ship having
q COW or sheep on arrival from Europe,
or countries having the pest, should be
allowed to land in America without suf-
fcient quarantine. Every disease must
at some time have originated from vio-
lent disregard of the natural laws, and
this as others. But am Of the opinion
that there is nothing in the management
of cattle in Great Britain or America to
generate the disease; so also no sanitary
precautions can arrest it short of non-in-
tercourse. believe it to be a species of
bloody murrain, aggravated by the marshy
nature of northern Russia and the utter
disregard of all the laws of health which
is known to man and beast, especially in
regard to ventilation and cleanliness,
which prevails in these cold climates,
where great expenditure ofheat is needed,
and fuel and food scarce. The same
causes are producing now the aggravated
typhus fever here, which is called outside
of Russia the plague England was
warned long since Of the danger of direct
importation of cattle from Russia; but
failed to heed the advice. / trust our
country may be more wise, and more for
tunate."

Soon afterward, while walking on the

WHY SOME FARMERS KEEP PooR.-A
recent writer says: "After long observa-
ton have come to the conclusion that a
great majority of the farmers that are
poor might have made money. If you
inquire into their business habits you will
find that they always sold the best and
kept the poorest. For instance, if they
have too many sheep on hand, they pick
out the best to be sold. If you ask them
why they do so they will say, "Because
they bring twice as much as the others,
and am hard up just now for money.
know that it is not a good plan, and | dc
not intend to follow it always" think
the habit of selling the best is very
poor plan for any man, don't care what
his circumstances may be. Ihave man
in my mind now who always sells his
poorest sheep for more than twice as
much as the average farmer gets for his
best. l have seen farmers in the fall
pick out their best pigs to fatten, be-
cause they would make few more pounds
of pork than the others. This | cal
very poor economy.

Shining Twenty Miles.

If the new colossal statue of Liberty
to be erected in New York harbor could
depend on one of the Pennsylvania gas
wells TO keep the great torch burning
which it will hold in its right hand, the
sublime effect would owe as much to
nature as to art.
The Bradford Neo Era says: The i'm.
mense vein Of gas was struck on the
night of October 4th, at depth of $40
feet, and was so strong as to render fur
ther drilling impossible. The well is
about two miles from Bradford, on the
Bruce Rodgers farm. Running from the
well are two two-inch pipes, attached to
which are three gas jets of the same size,
the gas belching forth from these pipes
with such terrific rush and noise as to
render conversation, pitched in the ordi-
nary tone, inaudble Tor fully one-fourth
of mile away, and the roar can be
heard five or six miles away.
The blaze from each of the three pipes
is sent by the force of the gas to height
of from twenty-five to forty feet, the heat
being go intense as to melt the snow en-
tirely away for distance Of at least one
hundred feet, and also keeping the
ground so warm during all the cold
weather of the winter, that grass, straw
berry vines and other plants may grow.
In many places, where the crowd Of
sight.seer have worn the ground, it is
very dusty.
The light is so strong that newspaper
may be read half mile away. On
very dark nights the illumination is
grand. The light has frequently been
seen in Ocean, Salamanca, and other
towns twenty miles away.

WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM9-It
is commonly supposed that engineers get
80 accustomed to fast running that they
are unmindful Of the perils which beset
them during every minute of their jour
neys. This is a mistake. They appre-
ciate the dangers of their occupation,
and, though it is rare that an engineer
falters in his duty, they do not, as rule,
like to exceed certain speed. This
aversion to extraordinary running was
illustrated in the remark Of an old engi-
neer, yesterday, when informed that he
must take out one of the fast trains on
Monday. Removing his slouch hat, and
running his fingers nervously through
his hair, the old engineer, who has made
all sorts of time, in daylight and dark
ness, for twenty years, said: Gall right
boss, I'll take her through, but who'll
take care Of my wife and five children il
anything should happen1" The remark
showed that engineers sometimes, per
haps often, think of their families at the
same time they are watching their en-
gines, and that there are some things thai
they like better than running fifty miles
an hour.

BIRDs.-We know of nothing more
cruel and heartless than the wholesale
slaughter of the small birds, so common
In many of our towns. The farmer owes
more to birds than he is apt to admit,
They destroy innumersble insects which
would prey upon his fruits and injure his
crops. If the robin, the cherry-bird, the
cat.bird, or any other, is disposed to
make dive at the strawberry bed or the
cherry tree, there are modes of preventing
them from taking all. If they want a
rev, better let them have them than to
kill them.

SANITARY INFLUENCE OF TREEs.-The
value OF trees in sanitary point Of view
in large and overcrowded cities can
scarcely be overestimated. Apart from
the sense Of relief and GOODNESS which
they impart their influence as purifiers
of the atmosphere Is almost Incredible
1t has been calculated that good-sized
elm, plane or lime tree, will produce
100000 leaves, have united area OF
100000 square feet. The competent au-
thority above quoted proceeds to show
that not only do the leaves absorb dele
terious gases, but they exhale oxygen,
They mnst, theretore,be of immense ben
eft in overcrowded and unhealthy dis
tricts. When to this it is added that
trees modify temperature, promoting
GOODNESS in summer and warmth in win
ter; also that they purify the soil below
as well as the atmosphere above, we have
very powerful sanitary argument for
tree.planting.--LOndOn Medical Examiner.

ABOUT SITTLNG.-Some hens have the
incubating fever so strong sometimes as
to render it difficult to get them to give
over the notion of sitting when they are
not desired to do so. To cure them of
this various plans are resorted to. Some
times they are treated to tossings in the
air-successive immersions in cold water
and other chastisements, according to the
temper and knowledge of the owners. A
man in Ohio says he cures them by tying
the hen to stake near path which is
frequently Travelled, giving q play OF
string Of three or four feet 1t is said
that one days confinement in this way,
with the frequent scares she will get, will
put all sitting notions out of the hens
