The population OF this country at
tho date OF the last census consisted of
80. O67, $50 males and 80, 554, $40 females

exists. A still more striking Fact Is
that in comparison with twenty years
ago the proportion of females to males
is decreasing. The census of 1890
shows only 05i2so females to every

Hog Cholera and InOcuIation.


A review of several attempts made in
recent years for the protection by inocu-
lation of swine against hog cholera is
given in Farmers Bulletin No. of the
United States department of agriculture
prepared by DR.. D. E. Salmon, chief o.
the bureau of animal industry. A large
amount of evidence gathered from those
who have tried it, giving the results of
their experience, as also full report of
the incubation experiments conducted
in La Sale county, Ills, last year under
under the supervision of committee of
farmers, is presented. Dr. Salmon's
conclusion, based upon the evidence
which he presents in this bulletin upon
the results of the investigations made by
the bureau on the subject, is that inocu.
latlon as preventive against hog cholera
is a failure from whatever point of view
it be regarded, and the farmers are
warned against the use of that method,
which he shows to have been in many
cases more fatal than the disease it is in
tended to prevent. AS an instance of
this he cites the fact that whereas the
losses following incubation in Nebraska
during the past year were 10 per cent,
the losses among uninoculated animals
was but per cent. Copies of this bull
letin may be had upon application to the
secretary of agriculture, Washington.

Chemical Manure for Vegetables,

The special crop most largely grown
at the east end of Long Island is the
early potato. In connection with a good
soil, preferably clover soil, the use of
chemical fertilizers is said to give re-
suits quicker, surer and with less ex-
pense than other manures. A Long
Island farmer says in American Garden
ing:
l work small place of about twenty
five acres, and the use of fertilizers, in
stead of so much stable manure, enables
me to dispense with the services of an
extra man, and to grow more potatoes
on the same land two years in success
sion. We do not care so much for last
ing effects; we simply wish to get our
money returned as soon as possible with
a good percentage Of profit. l grow
about ten acres of potatoes each year,
one-third Ohios and two thirds Early
Rose or a similar variety, followed the
same season by late caulifowers and
other green crops for winter storage.
The yield from 81 acres the past season
was 5000 bushels. One ton per acre is
the amount used for the potato crop.
with something added for the green
crop following.

First, streets are made filthy hy what

the Same be old shoes, tomato cans,
sweepngs or papers Do not throw any
thing into the streets and they will
never become filthy, Seer
The soiling of streets from the neces,
sary wear and tear of trade and hauling
is comparatively small The city au-
thorities could take care of that without
great trouble or expense. But it is the
things that are thrown into the streets
by private citizens that are the burden
of grievance-rags, sweepings, orange
and banana peels and papers.
But most of all, papers Whoever OBJ
serves the eddying air currents on a
windy day and gets his eyes full of dust
for his pains will see that half the un-
cleanness of the public highway is
caused by flying and dirty papers, brown
grocery papers, pink drug store papers,
old newspapers, envelopes, etc. Ifevery-
body will at once and forever stop throw
ing paper, even scrap of it, into the
streets, they will at least be two-thirds
cleaner than they are now, Follow the
same line with every other kind of I'M

The Red Cross.

Some time after the close of our war
the American division of the Interna-
tional Red Cross society was permanent
ly organized, with Clara Barton for
president. The society has done great
good in Europe, being in many cases the
first to reach the wounded upon battle
field and take them supplies and aid.
Wherever the scarlet cross, which is the
society's badge, was seen hostile forces
made way for its messengers, knowing
they conveyed aid to both Sides In the
Franco-Prussian war the societys good
works were especially marked.
But many wondered why the organ
ization shorld be permanently continued
here in America, where there was no
war or any prospect of any. Events
have fully answered this query. They
have shown that there is, if possible,
more need for the benefcent Red Cross
society in peace than in war. First.
there was the yellow fever epidemic.
Nurses, food, money and quickly i'm
provised hospitals, before other aid could
be brought TO bear, were part of the
showing of the work of the Red Cross
agents. Next came the Charleston
earthquake. Here as before Clara Bar
tons staff went Immediately to the
scene of suffering with needed supplies.
In the Johnstown disaster, in the Spo-
kane fire two years ago, in the floods of
the west and south that have made
thousands homeless and hungry, the
same helpful hand has been held out.
AT Titusville, Pa, the first train that
went through after the wave of fire and
flood down Oil creek carried an agent
Of the Red Cross society. Wherever
sudden and appalling calamity over
takes mankind, there the Red Cross
plants its banner before the rest of the
community has recovered from its hor-
ror.
