ANIMAL AILMENTS.
The Difference Between Contagious and
Infectious Diseases.


Infectious Diseases.
DR. Frank Billings, of the University
of Nebraska, when in Chicago lately,
at the graduating exercises of the Chi
cage Veterinary College, in his address
to the class stated the points as be-
tween contagious and infectious dis
eases, resume of which we give as.
follows: A contagious disease is one
having its origin in individuals of GER
tain species, and never outside of it.:
the same species, or to those suscepti-
BILE of other species by contact, or it
may be given by incubation with ma
terial polluted by them. The conta-
gious principle finds the necessary,
nourishment to continued vitality with
in the animal organism only under nat
ural conditions, and it perishes soon
after leaving that organism unless pro-
tected artifcially.
The development, on the other hand,
of an infectious disease is primarily in
the earth or in earthly material, under
proper conditions of heat and moisture.
Animals susceptible thereto must be in
or upon such places or exposed to the
virus of such places. But an animal
so infected, unlike an animal having q
contagious disease, is not itself dan
gerous to other animals. 1t acts, how
ever, as vehicle to carry the infect
ing principle from an infected to an
nninfected locality 1t does not, like
the virus of contagious disease, per-.
ish outside the animal organism, but
lives, multiplies, and may even in
screase in strength previously dimin-
ished from special causes.
Swine plague and Texas fever were
cited as instances of infectious dis
eases. A barrier like fence, for in
stance, may separate infected from
healthy animals, and even ward it off.
The soil was stated to be the danger
GUS medium of infection as well as
litter of any kind where the sick ami
mails habited. Infected swine leave
the germs there, where they increase,
and the healthy swine receive them,
become diseased, and reinfect the soil
or carry the germs to other places and
infect them.
1t was advised to keep healthy hogs
from ali places that had been once in
fected, to keep such hogs upon the
ground where originally attacked, and
to remove the hogs not yet show
ing signs of disease. Healthy hogs
should, by no means, occupy pens or
grounds that have been once infected.
DIR. Billings believes from his expert
ments heretofore, that incubation
with attenuated virus will give inn
munity from the plague. But as to
the practicability of this remedy.
thinks it should be done under the
supervision Of State ofacers. In fact.
It must be compulsory. Farm. Field

CHILDREN'S DRESSES.
Economical Summer Costumes for Little

Economical Summer Costumes for Little
Boys and Girls. -ft.

ton goods that most women long for a
chance to make them up into neat

ner,' said a clever housekeeper who
looks well to her house and her six
children; .'for the chief charm to such
a dress is its cleanliness, and if it re-
quires an hours time to iron it is not
apt to be put in the soiled clothes
basket at the end of a single day."
One of the most economical and be-
coming costumes for small boys still
in dresses is made out Of good brown
Holland linen. This retails for twenty
five cents yard and will stand more
wear than the best of ginghams Cor
jeans.
The little costume is made in three
pieces, full skirt side-plaited to a
band, a little jacket supplied with
waist buttons and broad collar and a
small pair of trousers. A little narrow
white or crimson embroidery edges the
collar, and the suit is to be worn with
no underclothing except little fan
mel shirt and under body. Four suits
made like this of either bingham or
linen will be found sufficient for most
small boys, and will save great deal
of washing.
Bingham aprons are made in so
graceful fashion nowadays that they
are not at all Objectionable. For little
girls up to twelve and boys under six
they are made with q bow yoke and
sash back, the plain hem reaching to
the edge of the dress. From one and
half to two widths of bingham are
needed for an apron of this kind. Meas
ure from the shoulder to the edge of
the dress to get the length, allow for a
three-inch hem beneath and two
inch hem above. Run tape through
the upper part and tie with ends of the
bingham in the back,
For the shoulder-straps have single
band of the material or strings to tie
in a bow, and supply the back of the
apron, from under the arms, with a
sash of the bingham. Such an apron
is as easily ironed as a towel, all the
running strings letting out, and when
made of pretty material is dressy
enough for almost any occasion.-M

The true artichoke is tuDer like the
potato, and is very prolific, producing,
it is claimed, from 400 to l. 600 bush
els per acre, though the latter figure is
undoubtedly extravaganza except in a
few exceptional cases. They are ex-
cellent food for cattle, sheep or horses.
and in the production of milk. when
fed to cows, are claimed to be equal in
value to bran They are sometimes
eaten raw or cooked. and are often
used as pickles. Their chief value is
as food for hogs, who will do their
own harvesting. By many they are
claimed to be the cheapest and health
lest hog food raised, and that when
fed to brood sows, or where they are
permitted access to them. both they
and their pigs viii thrive. 1t is also
claimed that hogs fed all the arti-
chokes they want will not iniure
meadows and pastures. They can be
used both in the spring and fall.
Freezing and thawing several times
will not spoil them, so it is not neces-
sary to dig for spring use, as they can
be left in the ground all through the
winter.
To feed in the fall put fence around
the artichokes, or that portion to be
used, and turn in the hogs about two
weeks after the plants are through
blooming, which in this latitude will
usually be about the 1st of October.
The hogs can dig them out whenever
the ground is not frozen, and can be
allowed access to the field until the
artichokes commence to grow in the
spring.
Culture-They need planting but
once, and little or no culture after the
first year, though to get the best re-
turns they should occasionally be
changed to a different field. They
should be cut like potatoes, only
smaller, and planted in rows from
three to four feet apart, the wider dis
lance being best. Drop about eighteen
inches apart in the rows. Plough the
ground and prepare thoroughly, the
same as for corn or potatoes, like
which they should be cultivated. 1t
will be time. wasted to plant on wet,
undrained soil. or very poor, high soil,
and the ground can not be made too
rich for them. In fertile fields they
will grow from eight to fourteen feet
in heighth. The second year break up
the ground the same as for corn. When
the plants begin to come up, run
| through them with cultivator both
ways, putting them in hills like corn.
and do not be afraid to thin out as
they will not flourish if growing too
thickly. Farmer.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

ACCORDING to DR.. Richardson there
are one thousand deaths every week
from alcoholism in England and Wales.
The Bishop of Liverpool attributes
the deplorable increase of drunkenness
among English women to "grocers'
licenses.
IT is estimated that $7S, 200, 600 is
spent every year for liquor in Pennsyl-
vania, while the output in anthracite
coal, their greatest industry, amounts
to only 69.995, 900.
The Chief Constable of Liverpool
lately said that if the public houses
were shut on Saturdays there would
not be provisions enough in the town
to meet the extra-purchasing power Of
the people.

The pope and the United States.

| The Pope seems to have been very much
| pleased with the copy of our constitution
which President Cleveland sent him as
jubilee gift. The Rome correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes that, according to the
observation of the cardinals and other pre-
lates who surround the Pontiif in daily life,
on o occasion of the jubilee did he manifest
such intense pleasure on the receipt OF an
offering as when the copy Of the Consultation
of the United States was placed in his hands.
He listened attentively to every word of
| Archbishop Ryan's speech of presentation,
and then gave his answer, ''lively with ten
der expressions and vigorous sentiments. !"
An eyewitness describes the scene; Though
| apparently a man physically weak by contin-
ued confinement in the Vatican, he arose
| from his throne with celebrity and expressed
| his thanks for the album in a manner so i'm
pressive and natural that even his soldiers,
accustomed to hear him speak often every
day. had their eyes riveted to his face by the
feryor he displayed. There was no question
he felt the honor of the gift of President
| Cleveland intensely, nor were his words
few. He spoke nearly five minutes. During
his remarks he enumerated on his finger tips
the offerings he received from European SOW
ereigns When he reached the climax of his
remarks and said that the gift of the Presi-
dent of the United States was most pleas
ing one, his countenance was radiant with
delight. His contemplative joy went into the
language that followed, and even the attend
ing members of the Papal court, schooled in
the reserve and quietude of their sphere,
n mid not cunnrpee axhihifions of hanniuasc
Altogether the occasion was memorable
one. The gift of no potentate was accepted
with more pomp, certainly not with as much
genuine kindness" 1t may well be believed
that Leo XIII received the gift with all the
emotions described, though not because he
felt any particular interest in President
Cleveland personally or any sympathy for
the form of popular government of which
that Constitution is the safeguard. But the
gift was to the Supreme Pontiff signif-
cant reminder that, among the wealthiest
and most prosperous people on the face Of
| the earth, the Catholic Church is great and
increasing power. From the United States
there came to the Popes jubilee the repre-
sentatives of the most progressive and the
most intelligent of the sons of the church
from the United States came also the richest
and most generous gifts. Ours il not by any
means a Catholic country; but in the fifty
years since Pope Leo XIII entered the
! priesthood the Catholic Church of the United
States has increased its membership; ex-
tended its influence and consolidated its
power until its titular head may count it a
! strong arm, meriting the highest favor.

Mr.. BlaIne's Letter.

To treat Mr.. Blaines letter otherwise than
as n withdrawal Of his name from the pre-
liminary canvas for the Republican Domina-
ton for the Presidency is to question his
sincerity. That is the reason, no doubt,
why the Democratic press which loses no
opportunity TO attack Mr.. Blaine, stigmatize
the letter-to use the language Of the Boston
Post-as "a bid for the nomination without
contest" or-to quote the language of the
Boston Herald-as IAN argument for a see
ond nomination" A fair and unpreiudieed
Interpretation of the letter must, we think,
represent tito borrow the words of the
New York Tribune-as a withdrawal of
his name so far as it is in his power to do so.
Mr.. Blaine could not decline a nomination
that had not been rendered him by anybody
authorized to make the tender, nor could he
without offering an affront almost. to his
party, CURLY declare that he would
not accept nomination, no mat
ter what exigencies might arise.
In declining to allow the presentation of
his name, he has gone as far in the direction
of withdrawal as due regard for the cir
cumstances of the situation would admit.

want the minaton. 1t is STILL of course,
in the power of the Republican party to
nominate him, and he has not absolutely
said that he will decline.
Up to the date Of the appearance Of this
letter it was quite evident that he would be
nominated, if not by reclamation, yet with
little opposition. The numbers and enthusi-
assn Of his supporters far outstripped the
numbers and enthusiasm of the supporters
of any other candidate. 1t is still too early
to say what will be the effect of his letter ON
the country, but, judging from the comment
of the press and the opinions Of individuals,
which are elsewhere published the effect,
in Maine at least, is likely to be an increase
rather than lessening of the enthusiasm of
his supporters.
