Cobra Poison as a Cholera Antidote.

The latest novelty in medical prac-
tice is the use of the poison of the
cobra as a specific for the cure of
cholera. 1t has been known to few
in India for some time that the
cobra was an antidote, and medical
experts have been making some very
interesting experiments, which, if cor
rectly reported, establish that cholera
cure has been discovered. The prac-
tice is to make an incision on the up

duce few drops of a liquid holding
cobra poison in solution. 1t is dead

LA CROSSE, Wis, Special Telegram,
Wyatt H. Graves, proprietor of the
Farmers and Mechanics bank at West
Salem, this county, was arrested to-day by
the sheriff of Sauk county on the charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses. The
particular offense was giving check on his
own bank for $117 to the Baraboo Savings
bank when he had no funds to meet the
same. He has been arrested for doing the
same thing at Stoughton and Reedsburg,
this state, and Pierre, S. D., where he OBJ
tanned $275 from the Bank OF Commerce ON
the pretense that he was buying real estate
Many crooked acts are known to have been
committed by him. One OF the most COM
mon was making small loans of $25 or $50,
and then raising the notes to $125 and $l30,
and negotiating them with larger banks
Forgery is also alleged. Graves IS lawyer,
and first started in Trempeleau county,
where he was under arrest half a dozen
times for all sorts of offenses, but always
managed to escape. He might have been
arrested on a dozen charges any time the
past two years, but people were all hoping he
would make turn somehow so they could
recover their money. He is married, and
has parents living near Fond du Lac.

INDEMNITY LANDS,
An Anxiety to Have Them Placed on

All Anxiety TO rave In0m Placed on

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Senator Casey has been endeavoring to
have the indemnity lands of the Northern
Pacific confirmed by the president, so that
they may be listed by the first of May and
placed on tax rolls. The secretary of the
interior says that the cases of the Northern
Pacific lands are so interviewer with other
matters that it is almost impossible to con-
firm the grant by that time A recent de-
cision by Justice Field in Wisconsin case
was that the land unconfrmed could not be
taxed. but Secretary Noble is of the opinion
that if these lands are due the company
they may be taxed, even if unconfirmed,
especially land sold by the company.
Senator Casey hopes to have the secretary
take the case up at once and act upon It, SO
that no dispute may arise and that the state
or counties will not be obliged to go to law
to collect taxes on their lands.

WAUPACA, Wis, Special Telegram,
The details of the burning of the Stays
house at Manawa received here to-day in
dicate one of the most atrocious crimes ever
perpetrated in this state. The remains of
StaJs were found near the door with the
head, legs and arms severed from the
trunk. The head was found in the cellar,
the arms and legs scattered in different por-
tions of the ruins. Stays, wh6-w was quite
old exhibited considerable money -Satur-

first murdered, then robbed and then that
the villain, in order to conceal his horrible
crime, hacked the body to pieces and set
fire to the house. Stays lived alone and
the house is about three-quarters of mile
from another dwelling, so that there was
little chance of the murderer being mo-
Tested. There is not the slightest clue to
the perpetrators of the deed, and the cor;
oner's Investigation now pending will
probably result in verdict of death from
wounds received from persons unknown.
Pieces of a broken lantern were found near
the body, but no one of Stays neighborS

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
The commission of Thomas Cain as post
master at Edison, Wash, was forwarded to-
day from the postoffice department. The
office is small one, but it has been the
issue in good-sized battle among poll
ticians in that state for some weeks. Post
master Peters was appointed by Senator AL
len when he was delegate last year. His
term would not have expired for about
three years. Several men of political prom
inence represented to Congressman Wilson
that Peters did not reside within the limits
of Edison, and that he employed Demo-
cratic deputy to do the work. Wilson rec
commended Cain. Senator Allen objected,
and for several weeks the appointment was
hung up; while a hot correspondence has
been kept up on the subject until to-day,
when Wilson's man was appointed.

the parts reached by the radical extrem-
tiles, which is to say within the circum-
ference covered by the branches of the
trees. These manures are buried in the
soil, about the end of October, at adepth
OF from twenty to thirty centimeters.
Liquid manures are also sometimes en-
ployed, such as fecal matters, skins and
refuse of oily seeds, and guano, the whole
mixed together with sufficient quantity
OF water, but the effect produced is imme-
date and of short duration. These
should not be made use of except during
the heat OF the summer and at the mo-
ment when the vegetation is most active,
for if applied during the winter they
might lead to the putrefaction of the
roots. In general, they are not resorted
to except for such trees as appear Ian
guild and seem diseased, and trench of
about the depth OF five centimeters is dug
around thespot where this liquid manure
is to be placed, which is afterwards COW
cred over. In order that the earth may
be fertile, it should contain all the neces-
sary elements required for obtaining the
proper development of the plant that
has to be cultivated in it, and these must
be in a perfect state of assimilation, but
compost and vegetable and animal re-
mains that may be added to the earth in
the shape of manures do not return to it
the principles lost by it yearly with the
crops raised and Liebig, seeing that in
all countries the agricultural production
was diminishing, commenced series of
studies to ascertain the cause thereof, the
result being such as to clearly demon
strate what was taking place. He found
out that all plants required to assimilate
a greater quantity of phosphoric acid
than that contained in compost, and con-
sequently proposed the employment of
bones and natural phosphates, as also
mineral phosphates, coprolities, etc.
Henceforth the necessity Of mixing or al
ternating complete with incomplete ma
nures, SO that the earth may always re-
tain it's fertilizing properties.
The method for calculating the sub
stances which in the shape of manure
should be given to the soil as necessity,
after the collection of each crop, is as fol-
lows:
1. The cultivator should avail OF all
the vegetable manure obtainable from
the refuse of each crop, to which should
only be added the fixed principles of the
fruit, the nitrogen required by it being
supplied by the ammonia in the air, as
also that remaining on the surface soil
after being washed there by therains. To
ascertain, in this case, the quantity OF
nutritive principles required to be incor-
porated with the soil, the probable aver
age weight OF the fruit to be produced
each year should be calculated, having
ascertained which, and taking into &C
count the weight of ashes, this problem
is easily solved. knowing the weight of
the ashes Of 100 parts of the fruit, q pro-
portion is established which will give the
required result.
2. Should the cultivator not wish to
avail OF the vegetable refuse of each crop,
he should add, erst, the fixed principles
OF the fruit, and, secondly, the fixed prin-
ciples OF the branches and leaves. An

branches are also removed.
LOWER CALIFoRNIA-Firs remove the
superfuous shoots living at the expense
of tie sap of the tree, and cut all other
necessary branches to allow circulation
OF air. 1t is evidently proved that the
tree should be allowed it's full growth
from the ground.
BAHIA, BRAzIL.-Pruning is done after
the tree reaches it's fifth year, say four to
six feet from the ground. 1t is then con-
tinued every year thereafter while the
tree is growing.
BRITISH GUIANA-No pruning is ever
done.
ECUADoR.-No pruning done.
TRINIDAD.-Little or no pruning prac-
ticed; trees would be better for attention
in this direction.
ASIA MINOR.-They prune once, at the
end of March, with very great attention,
and they give to the tree q regular, ele-
giant and graceful form.
JAFFA.-Little or no pruning is done.
The trunks are usually left shaded by the
lower branches.
SYRA.-Only the dead branches are cut
off in spring and winter.
MERsINA. Very little pruning done.
The trunk is cleared of all branches from
the ground up to the height of about
three feet.
AUsTRALIA.-Manyg growers recommend
great care to be taken in pruning, from
the fact that it is often productive OF
more harm than good. NomOre cutting
ought to be done than circumstances
rendered necessary. In the case of trees,
which have arrived at full bearing age
little is required in the way of pruning.
The removal Of rank shoots, dead or
diseased wood and the timing out of
branches when over crowded, SO as to
allow the air to circulatefreely, are about
all that is necessary. The case is differ
ent with young trees, for these the object
of the cultivation is the development of a
strong growth of wood in a particular
direction. The knife in that case must

have sufficient lateral shoots left to
balance the trees in each direction and
form the head. Shoots not required for
the development of the tree should be cut
away. 1t is better, however, to leave
few more shoots than those which will be
ultimately required to form the trees, in
order to afford the stems the necessary
protection from sun, removing them as
the trees increase in size. In training
trees of the citrus family it is desirable
that the branches hang to within two
feet of the ground, so as to protect the
trunk from the heat of the sun in sum-
mer. 1t is not an uncommon thing Tor
trees to be trimmed high, so that horse
power cultivatOrs can be used close to
the stem, but Mr. Clutch ton says the
practice is bad, and he is of the opinion
that the cracking or discolOration of the
bark, which is so common in this part of
the world with orange trees, is caused by
the sap fermenting through the action OF
the sun. By training the head low there
will be no trouble caused by the exposure
of the trunks. Besides trees with low
heads are less liable to suffer from high
winds. 1t is not advisable to let young
orange trees bear too freely, the growth

it is four years old it's suckers and badly
placed branches only having been cut
away up to that time. Trees are gener-
ally pruned in March after the fruit has
been gathered, but no precise date can be
given. Trees are always pruned high
from the ground these lowest branches
are at least seven feet above the soil, ex-
cept when they are directly exposed to
winds from the sea, in which case they are
kept low that they may escape as much
as possible from the salt spray. Prun-
ing should not practiced in summer, as
at that season they are hard to heal and
areapt to predispose the tree to gangreen
and other diseases.
SICILY-Pruning is done according to
the growth of the tree. The method used
in Sicily is franco rouesciato (capsized
Gomez This form is practiced from the
time the tree is young by cutting the
main trunk and letting the lateral
, , branches grow, in order to have free ven
tilation and free sun light, and to effect
the fruit to maturity. The height of the
tree varies according to locality and u.s.
age of the country. In Messina, for in
stance, they are left pretty high, while in
this province they are kept low, on ac-
count of strong winds which sometimes
prevail around Mount Etna.
PoRTUGAL.-Pruning is not generally
practiced before the trees attain an age
of seven years, and then at about four
feet from the ground.
MALAGA.-After four years old begin to
prune; height immaterial If plowed
with horses or oxen, then prune off lower
branches; if you dig around the roots bv
hand with spade it is immaterial.o
FERTILIzING.
Another matter OF even more import
ance is fertilizing and fertilizers. OF
course, all soils are not alike, and what
would be beneficial to one might be de-
trimental to another. The following
plans persued in different countries are
not quoted as an invariable rule for the
Florida orange growers to follow, but
they may get some ideas from the follow
ing plans, which may be beneficial:
JAMA1CA.-A popular plan for fertiliz-
ing in Jamaica is as follows: Let cord
be passed loosely around the trunk of a
tree, and with the distance of the utter
most branches from the stem as radius,
let circle be marked on the ground
around the entire circumference of the
tree. A deep trench fully foot wide
should be dug along this line and be filed
with a mixture of bone dust and we'll
rotted manure. Finally let the trench be
covered with the loosened soil.
LOWER CALIFoRNIA.-COw and other
manure is used as a fertilizer, but in set
ting young trees circular hole is exca-
waited four feet in diameter and three or
four feet deep, into the bottom of which
four inch layer of old cattle bones is
placed, on the top of this six inches of
of clay, then another six inches Of ma
nure, then q layer of common soil upon
which the trees are set.
In BRITISH GUIANA no fertilizers are
ever used.
ASIA MINoR.-At the end of November
human manure is largely employed every
two Years. These manures are buried
