WASHINGTON, July 30-"Have you
received any reports regarding the out
break of Il cattle disease in the West?''
asked an Associated Press reporter of DIR.
Salmon, Veterinarian of the Department
of Agriculture.
YES, we have a few kilograms from
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado notifying
us of the outbreak of disease and asking
assistance. We can, however, give them
nothing but advice. The law provides
that the Commissioner of Agriculture may
expend the appropriation in cooperation
with State authorities only when necessary
to prevent disease from spreading to other
States. There is no danger in this case of
spreading to other States. The disease
affects only native and is not commune
cable from them. They take it from
places where Southern animals have been
pastured. Southern animals do not
sicken out. They alone communicate the
disease. The disease is Texas fever. [
have no doubt of it. 1t does not
come from Texas alone, however, but
from many portions of the South"
"Is not the outbreak in Chicago evil
dence that the disease is carried from State
to State2''
II think not as a contagion. The cattle
which are affected in Chicago probably
took it from pens where Southern cattle
had been fed. The affected cattle will die
and disease will end with them.
at is surprising continued DIR. Sal
mon, that people do not learn the ma
ture of this thing. Here We have this
outbreak year after year, yet no measures
to prevent it are not taken.
What steps are necessary 10 prevent
it?"
Southern cattle should only be moved
in winter. They may be moved then and
without danger of communicating the dis
ease. Southern cattle, as / have said, do
not suffer from the disease, and it is only
discoverable in their system by
close post norton examina-
tiop. They are not injured as
beef. We shall try and see If We cannot
exercise some control oyer the matter, but
it is difficult to determine whstour powers
are. Under the new law there is a pro-
vision which | am inclined to think will
prohibit any interference with the ship
mspt of cattle direct to the market, The
danger is not so great in that case as when
they are sent North to be herjed for Q
time, In one case they infect only the
pens where they are fed and the cars in
which they are transported, aud in the
other pastures.

How Horace Greeley Was Assaulted.
ben: Perley Poore.l


Horace Greeley, when visiting Washington
during the latter part of the Pierce admins
%tration, was returning to his room at the
National hotel from the capital, when he was
accosted by Albert Rust, "A Virginian by
birth, :ho was then a representative from
Arkansas. saying; is your name GreeleyF
Mr.. Greeley replied hat it was, whereupon
the man hit him in the face with his fist, and
was proceeding To strike him when several
other men were passing ran in a.d separated
the two. Greeley then wanted 10 know who
his a~ssailant was, but the man, saying, you
will know ms soon enough" walked of. As
Greeley left his friends near the National
hotel, he again came up and struck him with
"a cane, which Greeley warded off with his
arm. Greeley did not strike the man, and he
never made any complaint against him, save
to denounce MIN in The Tribune. Rust served
in the Confederate army Us brigadier-geperal,
and died in April. 1870.

The Fever Not Contagious.

UNION Stock YARDS, Ills, July 30
There have been no further developments
regarding Texas fever. The diseased
cattle have been slaughtered and con
demned and there have been no fresh ar
rivals. Those unaffected in the lot have
been sold to local butchers subject to rigid
inspection. No other cattle in the yards
have been affected in the least. The sick
cattle, it is asserted, do not communicate
the disease known as Texas fever. That
malady from through Texans which
are never affected themselves, as the dis
ease was brought here by improved cattle
and not by stock.

The Denver train was two hours late
last evening and did not reach Cheyenne
until about s O'Clock. The difficulty was
the failure of other trains that were due in
Denver to arrive On time at that place.
The Denver train, therefore, had to be
held until they arrived.

To Miss Nellie Lincoln Roster more than
to any other person living, the United States
owe the revived interest in silk culture.
This girl of II has by her own enterprise and
intelligence made Philadelphia the head
quarters of the industry yet, almost as might
be expected. her name is known anywhere
aud everywhere except in Philadelphia. Her
stock of silk worms is considered the finest in
the country and she controls the egg market.
Her pamphlet on silk culture, which has
reached five editions and which is issued at
the rate Of 5000 copies u year, is regarded as
the one authority on the subject.
Miss Rossiter is also gaining literary repu-
tation, us she has contributed u great number
OF articles, showing careful historic and
scientific research upon Il variety of subjects
connected with silk culture, to many periodi-
Gals. She is editor Of several silk depart
meuts in western agricultural papers. In
short, the name of her achievements is
legion. She has lately been instrumental in
introducing silk culture into IA missionary
village in Turkey, and also into the schools
OF Indian territory, where, it is said, silk
culture will prove an efficient means of civil
izing the red man.

Mis- Nellie Lincoln Rossiter, the young
silk cuiturist, of worldwide fame, is now
conducting operations ON "a more extensive
scale than ever. The first Of this seasons
crop of silk worms i, at its height, A visit to
Miss Rossiteris residence, GO54 Vine street,
West Philadelphia, will reveal to the in
quircr the complete process of silk culture,
from cocoon back TO cocoon again. The two
parlors ON the first floor of the house are oc-
cupied by Miss Rosters unique and valuable
collection The silk stock farm is spread
throughout the second and third stories OF
the house, which is so crowded with frames,
trays and mulberry branches that the human
occupants Of the buildings are pressed for
living room. Every one of the ~family-from
the grandfather, aged 81, to the little brother,
aged ID actively employed in the work, all
being devoted assistants to Miss Nellie, the
business woman.
suK WORMS AT WORK.
The worms beneath this one roof number
hundreds Of thousands, and all are in a per-
fectly hea Thy condition. They are about the
size vi an ordinary caterpillar, but are smooth
md in color vary from gray to cream-white.
The feet Lre white, yellow, orange. pink,
aage green or pale brown, and from this tint
cin lie told the color of the cocoon that each
worm will make. The worms creep thickly
over the mulberry branches, eating greedily
pr preparing to spin. Cocoons OF every
'hade, just begun or just completed, are scat
tered thick everywhere-among the leaves,
IN bundles of straw prepared for them or in
punches Of cut paper. The frames are kept
neat 10y outspread sheets of white musquito
netting and the floors are sprinkled with
water, 50 that everything about the worms
l. clean.
Besides the worms and scattered cocoons,
there are moths to be seen. The silk worm
moth is smooth and of a uniform pearly
lint. The male moth is smaller than the fe-
male and may be known by his making a
slight buzzing noise, while the female is al,
ways silent. The eggs of the silk worm are
about the size of a pins head and vary in
color from yellow TO brown. In Il third-story
back room, spread out upon newspapers, are
PERHAPS several bushels OF this years cocoons,
all large and beautifully colored, principally
<now-white, cream white, sage-green, lemon
yellow and golden-yellow. Seven natural
shades AVE been observed in cocoons, in
