Cholera among fowls is not found

The symptoms are greenish droppings,
afterward thin and whitish, sudden and

and an anxious look about the face.
Death comes in twelve or fifteen hours.
''Soil sickness" disease indicated by
the faillre of clover beets and some
other plants to grow satisfactory, is
pretty certainly settled to be due to in
sect parasites on the roots, and not to
deficiency of proper mineral elements
in the soil, as was supposed by Llebig.
In Germany it has been found that cover
ing the ground with some light material
and then burning it off will destroy the
parasites.
There has been an immense amount of
breaking of harvesting machines this
year. This was partly due to the fact
that grain is very heavy, and much of it
badly beaten down and tangled. Reap
ers had to cut very low to reach this fail
len grain, and in many places wheat fields
were badly quilted by rains last winter.
The worst Of al was that when break
ages occurred there was in some cases no
way to get repairs.
Unthinking farmers will sometimes
place colt or young horse by the side
of horse of more mature years, and ex-
pect it to do an equal amount of work
without injury Such thing is not only
cruel but unwise. Many promising
horses have been ruined by such treat.

To insure a good catch with winter
grain, timothy seed should be grown in
the fall. If sown very early it may
crowd the wheat, especially if the winter
is severe. 1t will endure freezing and
thawing, which will entirely destroy
wheat. 1t is customary to add little
clover in the spring TO ill gaps where
timothy seed has missed. The two to
gether make good hay for home use, bu
it is not so salable as timothy alone.

Rheem, who has charge of the reptile
specimens in the Smithsonian institute,
contradicts much of the popular belief as
TO snakes. Some of the mos dreaded
have no existence. The hoop snake,
which takes the end Of its tail in it's
mouth and rolls over and over like
hoop, killing everything it touches with
its venom, and the blow snake, the
breath of which is deadly, are fctions.
AS serpents move about they are con-
stantly feeling ahead with the tongue,
and the forward thrust and peculiar
forked appearance of the organ has
given rise to the false idea that with it
the singing is done. 1t is generally
thought that there are great number OF
poisonous snakes In North America
there are but three species-the rattle
make, The copperhead or moccasin, and
the coral. There arc about thirty va
rieties of these species altogether. The
copperhead is probably the most danger
Gus, as it is vicious, and never gives
warning of any kind before striking. The
rattlesnake, though more poisonous than
either of the others, will rattle at the APP
proach Of anything, and try to get away
unless brought to bay. The coral is
much smaller, and is a native of the
Southern States. The bite is not neces
sarily fatal if the proper remedies are
used in time, as, on account of its size,
the quantity of poison is small When
reptile strikes he throws his whole body
forward and the fangs penetrate the OBJ
jecl againt which they come. He does
not jump; the hinder part of the body
remains in position, and none of our
snakes are in the habit of reaching more
than half its length.

The ostrich farming enthusiasts having
tried California and Florida, have now
concluded to begin all over again in
Mexico. The government has granted
the promoters of the scheme 10, 900 acres
of land and 5000 apiece for the first zoo
birds imported. On these conditions it
looks as though the promoters would
make money, even if the ostriches died
as soon as imported.

Mr. Christy opened the proceedings by APP
pcaling in behalf of George Taylor for fur
thcr continuance on the ground that the dis
trict courts had the case also before them and
that Judge Wylic had expressed the hope that
Judge Meade would out Of courtesy postpone
the final hearing until the matter could be de-
termined here.
Mr.. Cole on behalf Of w. b. Noses, denied
the correctness of his learned brothers report
of Judge Wylics words, and protested against
any further pOstpOncmCnt, calling ut the Snme
time for the New orleans record to net which
the last continuance had been obtained.
Mr. Stuart prDdtced postal card from Tay-
lars New Orleans counsel stating thnt the

81 don't want any controversy with you, but

| tortcd the latter.
Judge Meade decided that If Taylor would
make affidavit that he had sent to the clerk of

tinuancc could be had, and Gn hours recess
was taken TO allow this to be done. On reas-
| scmblng II was objected by MoSes's counsel
that the direction Of the court Ind not been
complied with, and Judge Meade announced
| that he would himself telegraph to the clerk,
and If he found that the papers had really
been mailed. he would continue the case for
them to be received, adjourning the hearing
until tomorrow evening TO await reply.
