Professor Paul Paquin, Missouri
state veterinarian, in q bulletin from
the agricultural college. Columbia,
No., gives = brief history OF this
malady, though like all contagious
diseases, its origin Is unknown. Ar
istotle. who wrote $50 years before
Christ, spoke Of q lung disease
among cattle that was perhaps tho
same; the Romans and Greeks de-
scribed lung maladies much alike !;
but not before the time OF the cclc-
brated BOurgelate, the founder OF
the veterinary school, did we have
any tolcrable description of it, and
the immortal Halter lmore than d
century aSo) was the first man who
pronounced it contagious. It il re-
ported to have appeared since In
great many countries in the world.
The following were some Of the prin-
cipal outbreak: The disease was
introduced into Holland by u Prus-
sian COW in 1886; into Ireland by q
Dutch cow in 1889; into England by
Irish and Dutch cattle in 1912; into
Sweden and Denmark by English
cattle in 1847; into Norway by infect.
ed Ayrshires in 1860; into Oldenburg
also by Ayrshires in 1858; into
Schleswiy again by Ayrshires in 1859
into Cape of Good HoEe III 1854; in
to Australia in 1858; by an English
cow. In this country 1t appeared
for the first zine at Brooklyn. i. l.,
In the year OF 1843. brought there by.
Dutch COW; and in 1850 1t Was In
troduced there again BY an English
COW In l847 it invaded New Jersey
by English stock, and IN 1859 it in
tested Massachusetts, by Dutch cat.
tie. In Denmark Sweden, Norway.
Oldenburg, Schleswig, Massachu-
sets and New Jersey it was after 4
tune stamped out. In last named
state it was extirpated by the heroic
action Of one man Mr.. Richardson,
an importer-who sacrificed his
entire herd, valued ut $4,000. and
voluntarily assumed the loss. By
that admirable conduct New Jersey
undoubtedly saved many thousand
dollars. However, the disease re-
appeared in that state again from
other sources. In 1866 it existed in
Maryland, and in 1868 it wac in
Pennsylvania; between 1881 and 1889
in Connecticut. In II word. the
plague existed in this country over
forty years, Notwithstanding all ef.
forts to extirpate it. New York

Of agricultural science Us follows: It
is not our province to defend the re-
cent management Of the agricultural
department, but when u paper Of
standing and influence attempts to
beiittle the chief industry Of the ma.

agriculture is science OF itself, il
hahnnves every agricultural journal
and every farmer from Maine to
California to raise his voice in just
indignation. There may have been
considerable profiigacy In thel IMAM

good deal OF extravaganza, misman-

Dynamite.

The manufacture Of dynamite,
which was invented ten years ago
is now All important industry in
Great Britain, where large
amount Of capital is inv ested in it.
Tie three factories there turn out
annually 1000 tons Of dynamite,
valued at one million dollars. But
there are dynamite factories also
in Germany, France, Italy and
Spain; and the largest in the
world is the German Rhenish Co..
with an annual output qf $500
tons. Large quantities Of dyna-
mite, which sells at from 500 to
$500 a ton, is exported from Eu-
rope to the United States; but
the trade (says Bradstreet's) is
yet in its infancy, and in course
Of time it may be expected to COW
er a wider area and to assume
much larger dimensions.

Effects Of Thorough Cultivation.

American farmers will scarcely
credit the fact that on the experiment
tul grounds ut Rothamstead, Eng
land, wheat has been grown forty
years iii succession without manure
and averages fourteen bushels, per
acre. But the other side Of this story
helps to explain it. The land is
thoroughly titled after each harvest
before seeding, is carefully h0ed the
following spring, and not u weed is
allowed to grow. The four teen
bushels, therefore, represents the
amount OF plant food which good
culture will develop in moderately
fertile soil, without manure.

A boy is something like n piece
Of iron, which ia it's rough STATE

ly worth S. iu it's natural state is
worth $l2 when it is made into
horse-shos, and utter il goes through
the different processes, il is made
into needles, it's value is increased to

it would be worth SO, 600, aud into
balance spring for watches $3.50 900.
Just tbiuk Of that, boys, piece oi
iron that is comparatively worthless
can he developed into suci valuable
material I But the iron has to go
through . great deal Of hanmeriug
and beating and rolling and pound
ing and polishing, and 30 il you are
to become useful nnd educated men,
you must 60 through a long course
study and training. The moro time
you spend in hard study the better
material yon will make. The iron
doesn't have to go through half as
much to be made into horse shoes
as it does TO be converted into deli
cate watch-spriugs, but think how
much less valuable tits. Which " ,ul.l

Frank Pierce had thick curly bair
