not to spread the spot. After all is taken
up that can be, wet the spongs-after first

a German physician has discovered that
consumption Of the lungs may be producsd
by the use Of the milk of cows affected with
the same disease. In the Veterinary
College of Munich four healthy pigs, from
three to ten weeks old, were fed with the
milk Of lung-diseased COW. They all died
at four or five months of age, and their
lungs and glands were found to be tuber
culous. Milk does not show any external
signs Of the infection. The danger to chill
dren from the use Of such milk is seen in the
fact that in Bavaria two per cent. Of cattle
and five per cent. of six-year old cows are
affected with tuberculous complaints. The
same state of things prevail generally else
where. At Amorbach in Odenwald a child
of five years, which for some time had beer
nourished with the milk Of a tuberculou.
COW, died Of consumption, though Its
parents were perfectly healthy. Goats are
rarely or ever subject to diseases of thi.
nature, and their milk is consequently les'
dangerous.

THE New IDEA IN SUGAR GROWING
Washtnqtoa. Dee 23.-Dr. Collyer, the
Chemist of the Agricultural Department,
has lust returned from New England,
whittier he went in regard to the sorghum
and cornstalk sugar project lie made
several addresses before large meetings Of
farmers, and reports that there Is already
widespread interest in New England in the
new movement. lie thinks that about
two hundred farmers in that section Of
the Union will experiment III sorghum
culture and sugar manufacture on small
scale next year.
DR.. Colyer stated yesterday to a cores
pondent of the Tribune that his experiments
have demonstrated that an acre OF sorghum
will produce as much sugar as an acre OF
the best sugar cane, with this great advan
! taga for the sorghum, that the latter
| plant can be grown from Maine to Cdllior'
! MIA, and from Minnesota to Texas, while the
sugar cane can only be successfully cult
waited in a portion of Louisiana. Again
sorghum may be grown with as much Ger
tainty as Indian corn.
| In regard to cornstalk sugar, Dr. Collyel
said that the plant is probably one-thiro
less valuable as sugar plant than sorghum
but is still susceptible of very profitable
working. " In fact he said, " our farmer:
have been throwing away about two third
of the value of their corn crop for thu
last hundred years. ~. \. Tribune.

ble. The shots did get were the result of
 accident, a fox now and then coming toward
 where was hid. So hit upon plan that
 would be systematic and, I thought, successful
 in capturing foxes I dressedin black clothes
 from head to foot; I blackened my face and
 hands. There was nothing to be seen about
 me but black. When took my position one
 morning among the blsckened stumps and
 trunks of burned wood-lot I looked enough
 like them to deceive the sharpest eye. With
 my gun ready, I stood motionless. Presently
 saw 8 fox trottipg along in the opposite di- rection, and out of gunshot. I trotted after 1t, keeping my eyes fastened upon it. When the fox took his look backward, I was as good n 0cr ed tre as there was in the lot 2 The fox saw nothing to cause him any fear, and on he went. Before he gave the warning tWltch again, was great deal closer to him than was before. My ruse was still undis- covered by him, and the third time he kicked his hind leg he never looked back, for was within easy gun shot and saved him the trou- ble. My new style of hunting foxes succeeded so we'll, and it required such nice eye and such careful calculation, that it became my favorite sport, and afforded me great deal of amusement.
 ''As to trapping foxes, little common sense used in a simple manner was the entire secret of my great success. It was the usual custom in setting xtrap to place the bait on the trap. A fox is always suspicious. When he sees piece of meat or dead bird. chicken or whatever it may be lying near or in a barn-yard, or wherever the trap may be set, he does not make dash for it at once. Hsfeels that there is something wrong, vet his curiosity and his desire for the tempting nor gel will lead him to investigate the matter. Many and many sly old fox has conquered his appetite and his curiosity on close inspec tion of bait of this kind and placed as much distance as he could between himself and the dangerous place but now and then one will venture to seize the bait and get caught. A fox's manner of approaching baited trap is peculiar He trots around in circles, begin niug with large snes and gradually narrow ing them until te reaches the bait, upon which he keeps constantly his suspicious but greedy eye. After watching an old fox approach a trap in this WAY, aud get near enough to seize the bait, end then seeing him turn and get away fron the spot as fast as he could, con cluded tat knew trick worth two of his. I placedmy bait on the ground, and set my trap, ntely hidden from view, several feet away. When the fox came and began his cir- cling sound, with his eyes constantly on the meat ie coveted, the first thing he knew he steppd on the hidden trap, and he was TO longf interested in the bait that tempted him. 1 neer knew this manner Of setting fox traT to fail in capturing the fox if one came to aspect the bait where it was set'

Hold Feats Of Child Riders,

gentleman who lives on the Stanislaus river, close to it's junction with the San Jo aquin, told Mail reporter this morning what he never would have believed had he not known his informant to be entirely trustwor- thy. He said that near his place are boy and girl the former about twelve and the other fourteen years of age, who frequently jump into the saddle in the morning and ride all day among droves of wild cattle which would surely gore them to death should they become unsested. Both carry lariats, and if they see 8 calf in the drove that has escaped being marked they run on to It, the boy throwing ms rope and catching it by the feet, after which the ears and brisket are duly cut. But this is not all On the ranch is large bottom of un- dergrowth, in which roam hundreds of wild hogs Of course the boars are very ferocious and will fight when pressed the least bit. The children mounted on their well trained horses, and carrying in their hands the lasso which they so skillfully handle, dash headlong after these hogs over all sorts of gruund, up and down steep banks, catching one out Of nearly every drove they scare up. Last summer they caught over thirty in this manner. When the Iasso is thrown on the head and feet of a hog and he is stretched out so that he can do no more harm, the boy gets down from his horse and ties the hogs feet with some rope carried along for the purpose. His horse stands as firmly without as with 8 rider, being trained to that work and never having done any other. Awagon is sent for the hog, which is placed in 8 strong pen and soon tam ed SO that it can be fatted for market. few days ago the boy was riding in the under growth when he started up @ deer. Putting spurs to his horse he got near enough to throw his lasso on his horns, but he did not
 have time to fasten the other end of his lasso
 to his saddle before the feet-footed animal was of with rope and all. These children
 have been riding constantly ever since they were big enough to sit on horse.

A conspiracy against one of our most cher ished ipstitutions-the fve-cent glass of beer has, it seems, been carried on in New York for number of months with much secrecy, and it is now announced that eighty five brewers of New York and vicinity will charge 8 dollar more for barrel of beer after May 1st than they do now. One of the brewers says: 'sIhe advance has been decided upon because the manufacturers cannot make beer for the price they are now getting. Every thing has increased in value during the past few years, and our expenses are twics as heavy as they were ten years ago, and yet we get only $S per barrel. We don't know how much we will have to pay for foe this sum- mer The ice companies will make no con- tracts, and we now pay $7 ton for ice. Hops have increased in price over 30 per csnt., malt has greatly advanced, labor Is very high, feed for our horses is very expensive, and coal and the actual necessities for making beer have advanced so much that the move is necessary, or we shall lose money" The brewers in other places will probably follow suit, and beer glasses will grow smaller or the price of their contents larger.

The jury system has received another blow this time in Chicago A man named Michael Rsich had suit against the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company. There was no question of fact involved. The railroad company having right of way across the land of Reich proposed to lay side track in addition to the main line. Reich insisted that there must be new condemnation of the land and additional damages the company resisted the claim. It was point of law on- ly, and should have been decided by the court, but Reich exercised his right to de- maud jury trial. His reason for doing so has now been made pretty clear. On the second day of the trial the counsel for the plaintiff caused the greater part of his law library to be brought into court and consum- ed the whole day in arguing minor point of law. It was noticed at the time, but not commented upon. that one of tho jurors was aosent. His absence ar JnaE tune was a mat ter of no consequence, however. But when, on the following Monday, the juror was still away, an explanation was given. The absent man had been arrested for the crime of high way robbery One of Reich's counsel offar- ed to go on with the other eleven but the op- posing attorneys declined, and the jury was discharged. And now comes the strangest part of the story. It had been asserted be- fore the untoward accident which prevented the twelfth juror from giving a verdict in the case, and the assertion is supported by sus- picious circumstances, that the plaintiff had ''fxea" the jury, and after the eleven ''good men and true" had been dismissed, one or two of the persons concerned on the side of the defendant corporation overheard one in terested on the opposite side cursing Judge Moran for having discharged the jury and so deprived them of the fees which they were to have had.

 The New York ice companies thought they were doing 8 sharp thing when they raised the price of ice to one cent per pound ai wholesale, on the ground that ice is scarcer, and the cost of it much more than last year. They are just discovering their mistake. how ever, as some of the largest consumers, in cluding hotel men, butchers and ice cream makers, are putting in foe machines with which they make good article at a cost oi from $1.5O to $2 per ton. There is no req son why the companies which secure their ice in Maine should raise the price at all although no one would grumble at slight advance.
