THE BLACK DEATH scoUReE
Thousands Dying from the Malady
in Asiatic Russia.

ST. PErERssuRe, CAblegram. IA dis
patch from Tobolsk,s Siberia, says that
the terrible scourge known as "Black
Scourge" has reached the city OF Tobolsk,
the central of West Siberia. The whole
of Asiatic Russia from Samarcand to the
mouth of the Obi, is suffering from the
scourge. Thousands are dying at Alb
dorsk near the mouth of the Oui. Ow-
ing to the lack of physicians, it seems al,
most hopeless to try and check the spread
of the fearful disease.

extravagantly fed here and other equally
valuable feeds arc neglected, or, if used
ut all, only to very small extent. Bran,
cotton seed, and cotton seed meal may
with great economy be substituted for a
part of the corn ration for horses, cattle
and hogs. Bran will no doubt advance
in price, but may yet be bought so as to
save money when compared with corn.
The cotton crop being large one, cotton
seed and cotton seed meal is likely to he
