Daniel Longs Fine Physique.

The appearance of Daniel Long, of the
Trimount Athletic club of Boston, at sew
eral athletic games in the vicinity of New
York recently has caused considerable COM
ment concerning his wonderfully fine ply
siquc. When p. DAWN, of Ireland, had
amateur athletic circles in Great Britain
talking of his wonderful powers seven or
eight years ago it was thought that no
one would be seen like him for many years.
DAWN was good at throwing weights, and
half Il dozen years ago held the best rec
ords in the world for the running high and
broad jumps, 6 it. 2A in. and % #. 3 in.
respectively. The combination he dis
played Of strength for weight throwing
and activity for jumping was spoken Of as
wonderful. His height was 6 feet, and his
weight lG3 pounds in athletic clothes.
He was very why, but indications are
that Long will prove to be even a better
one, for although he is one inch shorter he is
nearly fifteen pounds heavier, and already
has made records at throwing weights
which Dawn never approached. Longs
jumping this spring has been phenomenal,
and at the running high jump at his club
games on July 1 he cleared 5 it. liz in,
winning it and beating other good men
who have records close to 6 feet. The
ground vas poor, which adds extra merit
to Longs performance. Although Long
is a little more stockily built than DAWN
he has the same wiry sinews, and he and
DAWN would make a team unapproachable
by any other two athletes for all round

Texas Fever COntagion.

If Professor Paul Paquin, of the Mis-
souri, agricultural station, succeeds
finally, as he believes he will do, in in
oculating cattle with the Texas fever
germ, thus enabling them to have it in a
mild form, he will make it possible for
northern cattle to be shipped south by
the thousand and the herds of the whole
south to be improved. The Texas fever
germ is found in the soil, vegetation and
pond water of certain districts of the
south. The native cattle there have these
germs in their bodies; that is to say, they
are inoculated with them in the natural
way, and become acclimated to them, 80
that they are not injured by them. But
when northern COWS are sent south they
swallow these germs and take the fever
and die.
By another season Professor PaQuin
believes he will have the method of pre-
pairing virus wherewith to i%noculate cat
tie north and south reduced to such
system that the material will be cheaply
obtained. The method of incubation
the professor says is easy and simple.
incubation was at first unsuccessful,
but has been brought to such perfection
that properly inoculated cattle have been
shipped south with little or no damage.
In warm weather virus spread in the
north becomes virulent in about thirty
days, if the heat is excessive, sometimes
in less time than that. 1t remains active
till cold weather. Frost kills the germ
and that is why the fever is not indigo
nous in the north. It has been found
too that other animals than cattle, when
shipped north by rapid transit, may con
vey the fever to the north. In one case
it was brought by a consignment of
horses to Missouri.
Some of Professor Paquin's general
conclusions are:
The virus is found in the liver, spleen. lymph
glands, kidneys, blood. bile. urine and fresh drop
pings of manure, and is transferred to the north
chiefly by the urine and manure.
Ticks and the feet of cattle are capable of carry
ing the germs to distant lands.
The period of Incubation, i.e., the lapse of time
between the moment that germs are taken in the
body by susceptible cattle and the appearance of
the disease, is between eight and twelve days
only. Cattle may be exposed longer and not be-
come affected, but this depends on the weakness
Of the germs in conditions demonstrated by our
field tests and NEGOTIATIONS.
So far experiments Indicate that about thirty
days after leaving the southern infectious soil,
the southern cattle are not dangerous: conse-
quently, if they were kept that long in quarantine
north of the fever line, they could then be safely
scattered among northern stock. More expert
ments are necessary on this point.
The cheapest mode that we know now to disin-
feet cars and yards, is by quicklime, corrosive
sublimate solution, Or steam: but here again we
mean to experiment.

Breed for Courage.

There is no quality which a genuine
horseman prizes more highly in trotting
or road stock than that downright pluck
or indomitable courage which stimulates
its possessor to struggle bravely to the
end when the odds are greatly against
him. There is probably no quality less
susceptible of improvement by cultiva-
ton than this. It is one of those attri-
butes that must. be inherited from its
ancestors and be born in the animal. If
a horse lacks muscle that can be devel-
oped by proper exercise. If his action is
defective the skill Of the trainer. aided
by that Of the smith who does the shoe
ing, can improve it greatly.
Proper exercise and the reduction Of
internal fat will give greater lung capac-
ity and improve the wind. If the horse
inherits a faint heart, however, it is be-
yond the skill Of the trainer to inspire
him with that edo or die" courage which
determines the winner in closely con-
tested heats Of long drawn out races.
The only way that this valuable quality
can be materially improved is by breed
ing to the most courageous individuals
Of the most celebrated iron hearted fam
lilies.
The descendants of Mambrino Chief
enjoy an excellent reputation for game
ness,-Horse Breeder.

Mules as

Upon entering a shaft of a Pennsyl-
vania mine which had been on fire
twelve mules were found alive after be-
ing without food and water for twenty
six days. This suggests great possibili-
ties for the much abused mule. In the
blizzard burdened and snow laden north
and west he might be corraled under
snug shelter in the fall and left to while
away the long winter in seclusion.
Through the flood stricken valleys he
might be sealed up in a water tight re-
treat on the approach of threatening
weather with the full assurance that he
will be found safe when wanted. The
mule has never been noted for his beauty;
his has been a utilitarian existence, but
the discovery of these staying qualities
must endear him still more to those
farmers who want an animal for service
and not for looks. -Rural New Yorker.

Mutton MerinOS.

Farmers seem to be greatly pleased at
the efforts now being made to encourage
the production of Merino sheep bred
particularly for mutton. The New York
State Agricultural society has made a
new class for 'Merinos bred for mutton,
size and form of carcass to be considered
and length of staple" and it is hoped
that this will encourage the development
Of two distinct types of the Merino: one
a special purpose animal bred for wool
alone, and the other a larger animal
showing a fair fleece of wool and pro-
duciny a good mutton carcass. Mutton
from woody" Mcrino is poor stuff, as
consumers generally get it, and one
reason why Americans prefer pork and
beef to mutton is because farmers have
persisted in supplying us with the flesh
of sheep which, while excelling as wool
makers, a neve be expected to make
mutton. Farmers who feed sheep are
obliged to buy wool Merinos, because
most of the time there is nothing else to
buy. The mutton Merino will be the
true general purpose" sheep.-Rural
New Yorker.

DiShOrnine,

No doubt COWS "a dispense with
horns now that they have no savage en-
emies to defend themselves against.
Horns being dangerous and useless
should be got rid of. One who has never
experienced the comfort of a herd with
out horns cannot realize the advantages
of it. The simplest way to get rid of
the horns is to destroy the embryos in
the calf. This may be done by means of
caustic potash applied to the part where
the young horn may be felt under the
skin. Any strong acid will be equally
effective, but be careful in its use.-

The Poultry Season.

P. H. Jacobs, an eastern poultry raiser,
writes to The Rural New Yorker: "Prices
have been a little lower than they were
last year, but in Hammonton fewer
broilers have been raised this season,
owing principally to less of time from
the eggs not having been fertile. This
lack of fertility is partially due to the
excessively wet winter, the hens being
o closely confined than usual. Some
of our broiler raisers did better than ever
before; but others did not do so well.
The complaint that eggs did not hatch
well is general. Eggs of pure breeds for
Matching purposes have sold we'll this
season, many breeders not being able to
fill their orders. There is a large demand
for Indian games. The business is much
better than it was in 1885,"

Dakota Wool,

Among the important Industries of
the Dakotas is that of wool grow
ing. A well known Sioux City firm
engaged in handling this crop gives
some surprising figures with reference
to the growth Of this industry in the
Dakotas. This firm, from data on hand,
estimates that the wool clip in these
states this year will be between S,OOO,-
900 and 5000, 900 pounds, m increase of
40 per cent. over the clip of last year.
This is said to be in excess Of the wool
clip Of the three states of Iowa. Illinois
and Michigan. The sheep farmers seem
to be the most prosperous in the country.
They have not been effected by the
drouth and at no time have they been
troubled to find feeI enough for their
hocks. The Dakotas seem to be es-
pecially adapted to the business of sheep
~husbandry, the climate being favorable
and there being natural and abundant
growth Of nutritious feed for tho hocks.
The present status Of the industry and
its rapid growth the past few years indi-
cate that it is destined to become one of
the Chief industries of the country. The
proceeds from the crop can be realized
at q time when other sources of income
have been exhausted, when the grain is
all sold, and together with the proceeds
of the dairy produce can be used very
advantageOusly in paying the summer
expenses. The farmers who have kept
only a few sheep have too fully realized
their prOfitableness not to know that
sheep raising is an important and profit
able industry. The farmer who has a
small flock of sheep is SUI of a crop and
can pretty safely depend upon a fair
price therefor, which will give some
cash when he needs it most, and what is
true of small sheep farmers is true of
large ones if their hocks are given the
same care and attention.-Sioux Falls
