DEATH OF DIR. j. B. JoHSsoS.-The


serious illness of Dr. J. B. Johnson.
which had recently been mentioned in
the GAZETTE. eliminated in his death
in Washington yesterday. During one
of the hot waves which oppressed every
one last summer the doctor received a
sunstroke. from the effects Of which he
never fully recovered, and from that
time until his death he had been on a
physical decline. DR.. Johnson was a ma
tive ofJeferson county,W Va, and after
receiving medical training removed to
this city some time during the fifties
and practiced his profession here until
about 1879, when he removed to Wash
ington. though he continued to practice
medicine in this city aud made tri-
weekly visits to his Alexandria patients.
The doctor, during his residence here,
was a prominent member OF the Friend
ship Fire Company, and in 1866 repre-
Council. His course in that body was
characterized by some stormy scenes
which form part of the city's history
during reconstruction days. Being Of
an impulsivc nature, though at heart
kind and sympathetic, he became in
volyed in several broils, the most ia
nous being the ''inkstand fusi-
lade.' which occurred during q
hot discussion in the Common
Council year or two after the war.
THIS seemed TO have been Il general
row. and by the death of DIR. Johnson
the last participant has passed from
this to the better world-the others,
MesSrs. Charles l.. Neale, \. d. War
field and T. \. Brewis, having long
since died. In 1872 the doctor was
elected an Alderman from the Third
ward. his colleague being the late Dr..
d. VI. French. He was reelected sue
cessively until 1876, when the demo-
cratic party then in power had the
charter of the city so altered that the
City Council was empowered to elect
nearly all the corporation officers save
the Mayor. This created considerable
dissatisfaction in the party's ranks aud
resulted in the speedy repeal Of the
charter and the enactment Of 4 new
one under which all city officers Were
to be elected by the direcy vote of the
people DR.. Johnson, who had ever

Sewage on the Farm.

The disposal of sewage on the
farm is a simple problem as COM
pared with that in the city. IN
sanitary conditions with reference
to sewer on the farm are inexcusa-
BILE. In the kitchen iron sinks
should replace wooden ones. To
prevent sewer gas coming into the
house, the outlet pipe should be
trapped. The common V trap is
undoubtedly, the best. The outlet
and sewer pipes should in no case
run through the cellar or under
buildings. The best material for
sewers is glazed thing, with cement
ed joints, laid underground. If a
cesspool is used, it should be long
distance from the house, and far be-
low ones own and ones neighbours
well, and so constructed that it can
be conveniently emptied at frequent
intervals on the compost heap. A
cess pool at best is a dangerous
thing. Perhaps better way is to
conduct the sewage on the grass
land, and about the roots of trees,
shrubs and other vegetation, and
frequently to shift the outlet SO as
to distribute the sewage over as large
surface as possible. The roots of
growing plants have the power of
absorbing and utilizing ordinary
sewage.
Privy vaults, whether of brick,
wood or what is most common on
the farm, shallow excavation in
the ground, where excrementitious
matter is allowed to accumulate and
purify for months, are abomina-
tons that cannot be too severely
condemned. Such arrangements
are outrages on the common in
stincts of decency and are fruitful
sources of disease.

Whether diary farmer sends his
milk to a creamery or manufactures
his butter at home the principles in
volved in being a successful dairy
man are the same, says Hoods
Dairyman. The mere item of the
final manufactures ofbutter is but a
small consideration in comparison
with the other and far more weighty
matters which surround him. In
either case he must study on the
same lines how to produce the best
COW; how most profitably to produce
her food; how the most economical
ly to feed and handle that COW.
The main spoke in the wheel is
the dairy farmer. Everything
helps him and especially makes him
more intelligent as to the whole
scope of the business, help ali con-
cerned. There is wonderful wide
circle of interests hanging on the
prosperity of the dairy farmer.
Among them we might enumerate
the cheese factory and creamery,
the vast railroad, refrigerator car,
and steamship interests, which are
making such constant provisions
for the transportation of dairy pro-
ducts, the large capital invested in
the manufacture of dairy machin-
cry and supplies; all these hang
upon the farmer who is at the other
end of the line. Their success and
profit depends on the business be-
ing made profitable to him.

Wide or Narrow Tires.

Glenn Studebaker writes for the
Breeders Gazette: There can be no
doubt that the general adoption of
wide tires would work less harm to
poor roads than would narrow tires.
Broad tires would not make good
roads. They would simply have
less tendency to cut up poor roads
than would the narrow tire When
the surface is saturated with rain
and the roadbed is soft and yield
ing, vehicles fitted with wheels with
narrow tires cut ruts more or less
deep. When, however, the roadbed
is solid and care is taken to prompt
ly fill up inequalities which may be
created by reason of the wear and
tear of the surface narrow tires are
no disadvantage to the roadbed,
while they are unquestionably of
greater advantage to the vehicle.
Narrow tires tend to tighten draft
in drawing loads over smooth roads
and over soft roads. Over surfaces
that are sandy or scarcely yielding
in their nature the wide-tired wag-
ons give the best results. The wide
tire wagons are accordingly better
for general field use.

Keeplng Eggs.

The New York State Experiment
Station at Geneva reports the follow
ing results from experiments made to
keep eggs: All eggs were wiped,
when fresh, with cloth saturated
with some antiseptic and packed
tightly, some in salt, Others in bran.
Eggs packed during April and May in
salt, and which had been wiped with
cOttOn-seed oil to which had been
added boraCic acid, kept from four TO
five months with loss Of nearly one
third, the quality Of those saved not
being good. Eggs packed in bran,
after the same preliminary handling,
were all spoiled after four months.
Eggs packed in salt during March and
April after wiping with vascline, to
which salicylic acid had been added
kept four and five months without
loss, the quality after four months
being much superior to ordinary
lined eggs. These packed eggs were
all kept in a barn cellar, the tenn
perature of each box varying little
from &C degrees Farenheit, and each
box was turned over once every Two
days. Little difference was observed
in the keeping OF the fertile or in
fertile eggs, and no difference was
noticeable in the keeping qualities of
eggs from different rations.

In making up the rations even for
CATTLE it Is better to give a good
variety.
THEgrades-of cattle take the name
Of the sire; if the bull is a Shortholn
with a scrub COW it is grade Short
horn.
WHILE all the elements of growth
are in the skim-milk, yet as soon as
the calf is old enough it should be
taught to eat
CATTLE must be kept comfortable
What is lacking IN warm and dry
shelter we pay for in feed and con-
sumed fat Of the animals.
EITHER full bloods or good grades
are necessary in cattle to be able to
secure an early maturity; scrubs need
longer time to grow.
MINNESOTA and the Dakotas are
yet infants in the dairy industry but
the tact that Canada with similar
climate, exports $40, 900, 900 Of dairy
products annually, while the whole
United States only exports $l3, 1000,
900, is encouraging to those who hold
these States to be especially we'll
adapted to successful dairying.
