PleurO-pneulnOnia.

Look out for it. In several parts of the
country it is already raging, notably around
Chicago, also in New. Jersey. 1t is, the most
fatal disease affecting cattle that is known.
Symptoms: Appetite and Illumination be-
come irregular and there is dullness, fever
and short cough. In cows the flow Of milk
is lessened.
Pleuro-pneumona is lung fever The lungs
become filled with the matter from inf1amma-
ton The symptoms become aggravated as
time goes on, and the animal dies in ten to
twenty days. This plague is as contagious as
smallpox. Wherever it appears among cattle
1t is usually good-by herd. Be on your
guard. It can be communicated by clothing,
by the wind, by water troughs, or by past
ures, etc. Quarantine against it. As soon as
it appears it is best to butcher all the
healthy animals of the herd at once, burning
the bodies of those that die.
In many parts Of the Union the cattle of in
fected herds are seized by official inspectors
and slaughtered, the state paying the owner.
The plague was brought to this country from
Europe.
The COW doctors generally begin with their
hollow horn and wolf in the tail tomfoolery
when called to pleuro- pneumonia. The aver
age COW doctor is an ignoramus Don't let
him torture your cattle. The "hollow horn"
business exists in his own hollow head 1t has
little in it but superstition.

The Laws of Heredity.

Carefully prepared, beautifully illustrated,
and expensive books and periodicals are pub
lished in great number to teach the breeder
how to turn to account the forces of heredity;
but little or nothing is said or done TO teach
the world how to apply the same great forces
to the elevation of humanity, physically, in
tellectually and morally. Many are the
physical mental and moral weaknesses and
diseases resulting from or perpetuated by ig-
norance or disregard of the laws of hereditary
influence. 1sit greatly to the honor Of this
age that man studies more thoroughly the
breeding and character of the animals he pur-
poses coupling than he does those Of the per-
sons whom the unguided fancy Of his children
lead them to wedl Breeders so manage their
stock as to avoid reproducing defects, and to
secure desirable "points." They assert that

Shall principles SO long and successfully ap-
piled to the improvement of the lower ami

their master? Shall not at least as much be
done for the Improvement Of mankind by the

done by their aid fer the improvement of the
beasts of the field? Is man less worth the ef-
fort than theys-E. W. Perry in The Cur

A Ministry of Health.

The London Lancet contends that there
ought to be a department of health in the
government of Great Britain, and that
minister of health should have seat in the
cabinet. Public medicine is preventive and
as such it can only be effective when it forms
an integral part of state policy. Surely,
health is not secondary to wealth; and if
trade needs to he specially controlled in the
interests of the state, health promotion has a
not less urgent claim to be considered con-
stituent part of policy. The question has
been reopened and is being agitated by Mr..
Hamer, practical worker in the field of
health promotion. There are urgent matters
of sanitary enterprise which call loudly for
help from the government, and which it is
not only inexpedienrbut cause of weakness
to neglect. The prime minister who shall
perceive the need and take measures to satisfy
it will deserve we'll of his generation and
serve his country. Scientific American.

Initiative Sympathy in Politics.

A clearer illustration is shown by the wax
ing fervor of an ordinary political campaign.
Before conventions meet and candidates are
named the feeling Of party is neutral and
listless, except with comparatively few in
dividuals. A while after the dry bones begin
to stir. The noise Of orators, the moving
professions, the boom Of guns, all the usual
modes of political managers, gradually warm
up the masses, until men neglect business to
attend the hastings, and shout frantcally for
their party and candidates, until the election
is over, and long sigbs of relief indicate the
return of sanity.
What is all this but the same tendency,
harmlessly directed, that leads to the imita-
tive crimes of mobs, or the initiative quality
of the Millerite or Flagellant! It is identical
with the leaping, dancing professions of the
middle ages; for, as politicians lead, so their
followers dance and leap along; unhappily,
not always in as straight line as their ante
types. Principles are not to be undervalued
in politics; the point is, that few appreciate
them. Emotion, rather than analytical dis
cernment, is often the moving power.-A. A.
Sargent in Overland Monthly. s

Why Some Occupations Are Despised.

II wonder why we despise certain occupa-
tions? We don't despise man who hammers
stone and saws boards; why should we despise
a barber? Is the care of the human head in

such rude material? Why do we still contemn
the tailor who clothes us, and honor the

average. The same story comes from all d.
rections- promising condition and good
growth till the middle Of June, and from that
time forward series of calamities which
have resulted In the most disastrous
failure ever known to growers The
| first enemy encountered was the Aphis,
or plant louise, which made its appear
ance during June in unprecedented numbers
and severity. The usual remedies for this
pest were tried, but with little apparent
effect, and the plants attacked made but
sickly progress. Following rs the result Of
this attack of plant lice (Aphides) ethere has
been widespread damage from honey dew. In
some yards thi, substance has been found in
quantities sufficient to produce miniature
shower, blackcning the ground beneath the
vines No section of the state has apparently
escaped this attack, and in some the enfeebled
plants have been visited by midew and other
blights, SO that it is estimated that 10 per
cent. damage has been done the roots OF the
vines.
According to commercial authorities the
crop of the state last year was from 100 600
to Ia, 600 bales of 1S0pounds each, of superior
quality, while estimates of the crop OF this
year range from 5000 to 1900 bales of very
inferior quality. Since the irreparable dam
age to the new crop has become apparent
prices have already risen from to l-3 cents
to % and 30 cents per pound.
Mr.. Emmett Wells, of New York. an au-
thority on the subject, says: "The crop in
this state will be about 10000 bales, the quail
ity of which will he simply trash. There are
5000 brewers in the United States; 1t is
doubted if New York will be able to give
each brewer one bale of decent hops. The
failure is the most complete on record. The
Pacific coast is expected to turn out 5000
bales of fine hops these with the old ones Oh
hand will go good way towards supplying
our home brewers the coming season. Large
quantities of English and German hops will
find market here il our prices are high"
Mr.. Joseph W. Forwood, Bouckvile, N,
Y, gives expression to the following remarks
on the Aphis: "The cause of the damage is
lice which live on the sap of the vine. They
come in spring in the shape of dormant
flies; these lay many eggs and in short time
they become lice, which very soon generate
with great rapidity and continue to reproduce
until something destroys them, or they do as
they have done this year, starve to death.
They suck the sap from the veins Of the leaf
and the vine; their secretion is the honey dew
that shows itself on the leaf and vines, and
seems to stop the circulation of the sap from
the root to the top of the vine. This year
they came on earlier and much more numer
GUS than ever before, and have virtually de-
stroyed the crop. Many thought the fly a
new kind this spring, but this is a mistake, as
have noticed them for the last eighteen
years. They generally come from the 10th of
May to the 4th Of June, but this year there
were some complaints as early as the first of
May. New York World.

At a recent meeting Of the Kentucky State
Horticultural society an old member told how
forty years ago the farmers used to keep
apples fresh and crisp until June. Their
mode was to put the fruit up in banks, just as
many now save sweet potatoes in the south,
At time of harvest a spot of high well
drained land was selected upon which to bank
the apples. Here was scooped out sort of
saucer shaped bottom, upon which, after
covering with an inch or SO of straw, was
piled the apples, covering the same with some
six or eight inches of straw, and then with
enough earth to keep out the frost; not unfre-
quently, however. covering the whole with a
layer of sods to protect the same from wash
ing A hole was opened on the south side of
the bank during the winter when apples were
required, as much fruit taken out as was
needed and the hole closed up secure as be-
fore.

CARP POND,

Wherever there is a small natural body of
water, it can be utilized. A pond 100 by 50
feet will be large enough to supply family.
though one of an acre or two will enable the
owner to sell fish. Let willows fringe the
banks and pond lilies grow in the waters
1t can be made in pretty ornamental shapes,
round, oval or Maltese cross pattern. A run
ming stream or swampy ground at the foot of
hills can also be utilized for fish pond.
The illustration shows pond of very sim
pie construction. In making it, a writer in The
Southern c. 'vator says that he simply built
a dam as hign as he wanted it, and saw how
far the water would back Next, he writes:
~ then went far enough above and started a
ditch to take all the water from around the
pond, except enough to supply the pond and
keep small stream running off. In the
figure d is the dam; A is a water way with a
wire gauze across it to keep in the fish; B
is ditch running above the head of the
pond c is the feed pipe which may be opened
or closed at will With this arrangement
high water never affects the pond.
Fish eat up "wigglers," and so keep off
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and malaria are said
always to exist together, and it is quite pos
:sible the carp will also eat the vegetable
germs which are believed to produce malaria.
The ponds must have an outlet and an inlet.
The outlet should have across the mouth
some kind of perforated covering, to prevent
the escape of the fish. Wire cloth screens are
recommended in "carp ponds" Mr.. Smiley
uses three of these, of different fineness, placed
at intervals. The water must be drawn off
once or twice a year to get out rubbish,
snakes and outsiders destructive to carp.
Ice ponds may be well utilized for fish.
Ponds should he not less than three feet in
depth in their deepest part, says the govern
ment report, and they should gradually lessen
to depth of one or two inches, to provide
the shoals required for spawning Small
knobs and islands should be removed, as they
generally afford harbor for the enemies of
carp

For October.

Sow spinach for next springs use and weed
that already up. Sweet potatoes should be
dug as soon as frost touches the leaves; handle
carefully that they may not be bruised or cut
when dry place in barrels and store in a
warm place. Sow grass on winter grain and
brush in. Timothy is almost universally
sown. Try orchard and rye grass, each by
itself, sowing clover in the spring. Rye or
dinarily is sown later than wheat. 1t does
not matter much, but its season is longer and
the plant is stronger. 1t will make a crop on
