TEXAS FEVER.

Dir, Frank S. Billings, of Nebraska,
the investigator of infectious diseases
among animals, has demonstrated that
Texas Fever comes from Texas ticks
He has cultivated these ticks and killed
cattle by inoculaang them with the
virus. This shows how subtle these
germs are and how careful people
ought TO be in guarding against in
fectious maladieS. So it is in lung
troubles. There is no doubt that con-
sumption has been communicated
from one person to another and whilt
the experiments of DR.. Koch have no
been entirely successful, yet enough
has been demonstrated 10 prove thai
the baccili do make the disease. Ir
this emergency the best remedy thai
has yet been found is REDS GER

Braiding in Favor.

Braiding is as much liked and is as
fashionable as if this was the first sea-

and warps are covered with it, and it
appears upon some of the most stylish

Money in Sheen.

Sheep may come little nearer re-
turning something for nothing than can
be had from some other investments,
but the man who puts his money into a
flock, of whatever size or breed of
sheep, and afterward omits to accord
all the essentials TO thrift and improve
ment, is only surprising himself aud
need look for no other results than dis
appointed hopes and depleted pocket
book. On the other hand the farmer
who secures the proper type of
sheep and accords to these plenty of
feed and such security from exposure
as humanity and economy may dictate,
will find himself rewarded by returns
certain to lose nothing in com parison
with the best that comes to him through
any other source. Rural World.

ShIftless Tricks for n Farmer.

To try to farm without manure.
1t is shiftless to buy poor stock. A
poor cow eats as much as good one.
To allow the hogs and sheep to wan
der ut their own sweet will over their
owners and his neighbours premises.
To allow the barnyard to drain into
the public road or into stream. A
good many farmers are guilty of this.
To let the cattle fodder themselves at
the haystack. 1t saves a little labor,
but the waste will make the owner
poorer.
To turn the cattle out into the bare
fields in cold weather when there is
nothing for them to eat there, and they
lose flesh shivering in the. cold -t
To wade through the mud to the
barn and outbuildings when good, dry
paths can SO easily be made. TO pay
heavy Doctors bills for wife and chill
dren because their feet became wet
through lack of good paths. Farmers

Stimulus of Examples in Horse Breeding.
As long rs a man sees no better
horses than he owns himself he is gen.
orally satisfied, no matter how inferior
his stock may be. Let one man in a
neighborhood start to improve his
horses and it will not be long until
others are falling into line. 1t is this
kind of honest rivalry that brings forth
commcndable changes in any direction.
Competition at fair is calculated to in
spire breeders with new ideas. 1t is
just as good for the farmer as the
breeder. Premiums are offered for
draft horses, draft teams. road
sters. etc. One man has as
good right to these pre-
miums as another, provided he has as
good stock to show. Nowhere else are
such comparisons made: as much atten-
ton paid to the good and bad points OF
horses. Owners learn more of each
other, as well of each others horses.
The whole thing is bound to broaden u
mans views and widen his Judgment.
The premiums won at fairs or horse
shows are the least considerations. 1t
is therefore incumbent upon those who
want to keep up with the procession to
make the best of every opportunity
offered in this dire ction.- Rural World.

The Union Pacific Floating Debt.

Special to the Gazette.
New York, Aug 26-The hitch in the
financial scheme by which the enormous
floating DEBT of the Union Pacific railroad
is to be extended for three years, is be-
lieved to be due to the uncertainty concern
ing Jay Gould's purpose in the matter.
That untathomable tinancier is expected to
reach home from the West next week. and
soon after his arrival it is predicted Union
Pacific affairs will begin to move. The
present understanding in Wall street Is that
j. Pierrepont Morgan consented to act as
trustee in the proposed fund raising scheme
only after exacting from Russell Sage, Sid
ney Dillon and George Gould concessions OF
great importance to the road.
One of these concessions 1t is believed
was the presidency of the road, and some OF
the knowing ones in the street insist that
Morgan has selected his able lieutenant
Samuel Spencer, to succeed President Dill
lon. In their eagerneSs to avoid a receiver
ship for the Union Pacific, Russell Sage
and George Gould, it is said, accepted every
condition imposed by Morgan. Whether
sions remains to be seen.
The fact is. no doubt, no one, with the
possible exception of Gould himself, knows
lust what Gould wants to do with the Union
Pacific. Under the agreement by which
Morgan is to take charge of the floating
debt extension. the Union Pacific company
is expected to issue about twenty-four mil
lion dollars in three-year per cent. notes,
and the trust notes are to be secured by the
entire Union Pacific treasury, which in
cludes stocks and bonds of the par value of
SOS, SOB, 465 and the estimated value Of S42,
