shipping Cattle as a Business.


1t is said by the Rural New Yorker that
Fred Lingham of Montreal the largest ship
per of cattle from Canada TO England, has
lest nearly Il, 900 600 during the last three
wears. The ventures of other operators have
been equally Improbable. Several have
been forced out of the business by their
losses. Some OF the banks that advanced
money to shippers OF cattle are likely to
lose considerable sums, and the cattle
brokers abroad will suffer in the same way,
because they furnished funds or credit to
some of the shippers with which to pay for
the stock. MIR. J. II. Truman, an importer
of horses, recently returned from England,
and in reply to the queries of 2 representa-
tive of the Tribune said that the taritic in
dressed beef has been scarcely more profit
able in Great Britain than has that in living
cattle. OF the many houses that engaged
largely in the business five or six years ago,
but two or three are now doing anything
worthy of note in this line. Most have re-
tired, after involving larger dealers in their
losses. Yet shippers of cattle from Canada
have been favored by a difference Of from
$40 to So per head in prices of their fat
bullocks. Even now, It is reported, cattle
on the ranges of the Bow River country, in
the Northwest Territory, are in strong re-
quest at $40 to 500 per head, while cattle of
like quality south OF the line sell for $50 to
$40.
There has long been for many more than a
merely curious interest in the question,
''Why do shippers of live stock usually end
by losing heevily?' The history of the live
stock traffic of this country, as well as that of
the Anglo American trade, is marked by the
wrecks of many q fortune. There seems to be
nothing OF an especially speculative nature
in the business, and certainly no good rea-
son why those engaged in it should pay more
for their stock than they can get for it in
market after deducting expenses: but the
majority of the shippers do so. Possibly
these unfortunates will be interested in the
consideration Of the fact that large num-
ber if not most indeed, of the brokers who
sell their stock upon commission become
wealthy. Another curious circumstance is
that a few of the buyers of cattle IN the
great markets have become very rich while
others have gone to the wall.
The farmers and brokers in the markets
seem to be the only ones who make money
out Of the cattle business. The shippers and
local dealers lose. In Canada they have the
advantage of what really amounts to a pro-
tective tariff in their favor of from $40 to SIS
per head but this they haYe handed over to
the farmers, who are that much better of,
at least in their cattle operations, than are
their American neighbors.

Investigation of the Pear Blight.

The dreaded disease, the pear blight, has
for years bafiled investigation, and Ignorance
of its nature has enabled it to destroy some
OF the most valuable orchards in the coun-
try. In a bulletin issued by the New York
Experiment Station, Professor J. c.. Arthur
the botanist. stated that in order to make
experiments which would enable him to ar.
rive at a. correct knowledge of the nature OF
the disease he secured q few diseased
branches from an infected orchard and
among them was one with viscid vel
punctured several healthy trees, about an
inch from the extremities, with a needle, in-
sorting small quantity of the excre-
ton In about six eight days every
branch which had been inOculated showed
unmistakable signs of blight. The
bark turned brown and then
black about the puncture, gradually ex.
tending through the stem, passing upward
toward the end OF the branch much faster
than downward or around the branch. On
the ninth day most of the wounds sxuded
some OF the same viscid fluid which was
used IN the first place They were all re-
moved on the thirteenth day to prevent the
disease rom securing any permanent hold
on the tree. Most OF the infected branches
were blackened for a foot or more, and the
young tender leaves as we'll, ell being dead.
IL was noticeable that the full grown leaves
we're rarely affected, and generally remained
green up to the time of the removal of the
branch. Among the leaves inoculated only
one became infected, and this was a young
and tender one. The disease from il spread
to the stem, and worked the same as in the
other cases. At the same time portion of
the same virus was applied to two young
apple branches. Both showed the disease in

A TERRIFIC STORM.

1t Plays Havoc Among the Shade Trees
Many Houses and Buildings Struck by
Lightning.
BosToN, Sept 11.-One of the heaviest
thunder storms for years, with very strong
wind, struck Maiden at 5:10 this afternoon.
A large number of shade trees around pri-
vate residences were blown down, and large
number of fruit trees destroyed, The wind
blew down a large fifty-foot gate at the rail-
road crossing, and broke a number of panes
of glass. Lightning struck the house OF
William Hargraves, in Edgeworth, passing
into the kitchen and prostrating several la
dies of this and the adjoining house. None
seriously injured. At Melrose lightning
struck house called the Mountain House,
tearing off the chimney and part of the roof.
At Stoneham the lightning struck several
places. At Walnut Hill the lightning struck
barn, killing horse and burning the barn.
At Reading the houses of S. Pinney and Ia.
Turner were damaged by lightning.

eight days. 1t spread gradually until, on
the thirteenth day, about two inches from
the apex was quite dead and dry, and the
branches were removed.
The virus was prepared by cutting up an
inch or so of diseased pear stem in a glass
half full Of water, and after stirring the chips
about in the water the chips were all re-
moved, which left the water slightly milky.
This wss used on several kinds of fruit trees
by making puncture with pin and inocu-
lating a small drop from the glass. Sufficient
time has not elapsed to show full results, but
a very young branch of the June berry show
ed signs of the blight on the sixth day.
Some experiments were made and remark
able results secured by inoculating the fruit
of Bartlett pear trees with the watery infu-
sion. On the sixth day they were all black
ene6 foi some distance around the point OF
inocUlation. and exuding copious flow of
yellowish fluid, which ran down from the
side and dropped on the ground. Upon cut
ting them open they were found discOl0red
almost throughout their interior. Tests on
ounce trees showed the disease in seven
days, but without exudation, while only one
fourth of the interior was affected.
The conclusions arrived at are that the
disease known as the pear blightis infectious,
and may be transmitted from one tree to an
other by inoculatiOn; that it is not confined
to the pear tree, but may attack other po-
maceous fruits, such as the apple, ounce,
English hawthorn and June berry; that it
is most active and progresses most rapidly
upon young and succulent portions of the
tree. Under the microscope any bit OF dis
eased tissue shows inconccivable myriads of
minute bacteria, which fill the water of the
slide in which it is mounted like cloud. 1t
is, therefore, not necessary to depend on ex-
ternal appearances in order to determine the
progress of the disease in branch, as the
microscope will decide with absolute GER

Oughly understood the matter of preventing

A CLUE TO A TRAGEDY.
SinguIarIy Marked Child Gives Clue to
"A Murder.
Atlanta lGs.) Special,

Murder.
Atlanta (Gs.l Special.
About two months ago Mrs. J Jennie Rose
was shot and killed by a burglar. The fam
lily consisted of Charlie Rose, his wife Jen-
ME, who was an invalid, and Miss Nancy
Frazier, a cousin of Mrs. Rose, who was in
the house as help Miss Frazier stated that
she was awakened by the sharp report of a
pistol, and that as she opened her eyes a
figure rushed by her, blowing out his light
as he did so, and that, jumping out of a
window, he made his escape. Arising
from her bed she went to the
bedside of Mrs. Rose, and, placing her hand
upon that ladys head, she was shocked to
feel the clammy touch of human blood.
Mrs. Rose said only ''Ohi ohl' and expired.
The bullet had entered her eye, and, passing
through her brain, had lodged in her head.
The husband who was an employe of the Air
Line Road, was sent for, but manifested no
surprise when shown the dead body of his
wife. There were many reasons rendering
the burglar theory improbable, and suspicion
fell upon the husband and Miss Frazier. The
couple were arrested, as was also a Miss
Sugg, with whom it was claimed that Rose
had been intimate. Both girls denied that
they knew anything of the affair. After q
series of examinations continuing for three
weeks, Rose was discharged. The character
of Miss Frazier has not been successfully at
tackled, nor was any improper intimacy with
Rose established.
Late last night DR.. Carter was hurriedly
called to attend Miss Frazier, who was suf-
fering fearful commissions in child birth
When the child was born it was found to
have but one eye, the place where the other
eve should be having only the appearance Of
a deep bullet wound. The child lived but a
few moments, and at s o'clock this morning
Miss Frazier died also and this evening the
mother and child were both buried in the
same coffin. The credulous think that the
birth of Miss Fraziers child tells the story of
the moving cause of Mrs. Roses murder.
Rose is still in the city, and on being asked
concerning Miss FraZier's case, answered:
II will say nothing. l have had enough
frouble about il -
