Warmth VS.. Feed.

The Home and Farm gets off the
following:
That was a funny scare farmer got
himself into last winter. His cows
had been eating cut corn fodder so
many bushels per head in the stable
yard day. The weather got so cold
the farmer concluded to put the cows
in the stable. He was alarmed to
find the COWS refusing part of the cut
fodder, In fact, they only ate little
more than half the amount they had
been consuming in the yard, and, Of
course, the farmer looked to see the
milk yield fall off. But to his aston
ishment not only did the COWS eat
less, but the milk yield actually in
creased. 1t took him long time to
believe that shelter could work such
8 revolution in herd. But it did it,

Black Rot Of The Grape.

This disease is caused by the growth
of very small plant. 1t can only be
seen with q microscope. 1t belongs
to the group of plants known as
fungi. It's growth starts from spore
which corresponds to seed in higher
plants. These spores terminate early
in the spring, when the leaves start
to grow, and upon them it usually
makes it's first appearance in small
brownish spots. Its next appear
ance will be upon the fruit. Ii can
be prevented by spraying early with
the Bordeaux mixture, which prepa-
ration has been useG successfully in
preventing disease upon many other
fruits.
A full discussion of the life history
of black rot in the grape, methods oil
preparing and applying the Bordeaux
mixture, and also where to buy good
spraying machinery are given IN IL

FARM NOTES,
Bovine Tuberculosis.

The daily paEe rs of the East are
getting up tremendous scare about
milk and tuberculosis or consumption
in the cow. Just now to read these
papers one would think that con-
sumption was more contagious than
smallpox. 1t may ultimately be
proven that cow with tuberculosis
can impart them to human beings
through the milk, but up to the pres
emit writing there is not particle of
evidence on the subject. At the same
time it does look as though cows could
give this disease to one another, as it
is very apt to spread in herd. The
only way to stop the trouble yet dis
covered is to slaughter the animals
effected. At the East, where the dis
ease prevails, there ale generally laws
to remunerate the owners of the in
fected herds. In New York the sum
paid is $40 for scrubs and $50 for thor
oughbreds, which the latter is quite
insufficient and should be dou bled.
Southern states should pass similar
laws.-Home and Farm.

How to Kill Grasshoppers.

Our experiment station sent rep
resentative over into some of the mid
die counties to look into the grasshop
pers which were destroying a large
acreage of corn and cotton during the
past summer, In many places the
corn was damaged so much that it
was worthless in blocks OF 40 to 80
acres, and cotton waist high was
eaten to the ground in fields of 10 to
$50 acres. In many cases no sign OF a
cotton crop was left Oh the land.
We tried the following named ma
terials to prevent the eating of cotton
and fruit trees: Strychnine, arsenic
and wheat bran, sulphur and lime,
asafetida solution, saltpetre solution,
Barbados aloes solution, white arse.
mic and -four, dry; paris green and
flour, dry; London purple and flour,
dry; ealomel and flour, dry; paris
green, dry; kerosene emulsion.
A number of these gave good re-
suits by making the plant distasteful
to the hoppers or by killing those who
ate the pOisons applied. The results
are best given in a letter from Mr.. &,
L Stone, of the neighborhood who
had invited US over to make the ex-
periments.
August /, 1898.
viii say relative to your test made
at Mr.. Linn's, the result are as fol
lows, to wit:
The wheat bran, sugar and arsenic
was a success. The application OF dry
arsenic on the cotton was only par
tial success. l think it would have
been more successful if there had been
dew on the cotton when applied
Paris green, London purple and the
calomeI were failures.
The spraying of the fruit trees with
kerosene emulsion was grand sue
cess Where the Barbados aloes
emulsion was applied on the pea vines
the hoppers quit eating it and also
where you sprayed the cotton with
the sulphur mixture the hoppers quit
eating it.
Where l applied the strychnine the
result was about the same as the ar
senic. The hopper5 have about quit
the crop There are some few young
hoppers but none of any consequence.
G. l.. STONE"
On the whole arsenic and wheat
bran proved best and cheapest to kill
all hoppers in cotton. AS poultry
will eat this mixture, care must be
used to keep all such away from
places on which poison is applied.
Full particulars Of this test will be
published in the Annual Report Of
the Experiment Station, which is sent
free to all residents of the state.

Teaching a Calf to Drink.

Teaching q calf to drink should not
be left to the hired man, Do it your
self. Leave the calf with its dam q
hours, then take it away and at the
expi alton of u hours take an assist.
ant with you and draw couple OF
quarts of the DAMS milk in u small
vessel. Have the assistant hold the
calf while you take the vessel in your
left hand and dip a finger in the milk
and put it in the Calls mouth. Have
patience. Repeat the process until
the calf gets good taste OF the milk
and begins to suck the finger, then
gradually press its head into the
milk, keeping the finger in its
mouth. A little patience will gener-
ally teach it to drink at one les
son, but some calves are stubborn
and must be borne with. Keep the
milk warm with hot water If the calf
is slow at learning. II will not do to
give it cold milk; that will kill it. On
quart of milk twice q day is ful
eed for the first week then gradually
Increase the amount for another week
when you can begin to add skinned
milk. Do not allow the calf to drink
too fast or too much. A pot bellied
calf is ugly and nat apt to be healthy.
Up to.4 weeks of age three or four
quarts of milk is sufficient. After
four weeks allow them access to oats
and fine hay. Never allow the calf
to drink more than six quarts at one
feed. Keep them in good condition
WITH oil meal, but not too fat. A calf
should look thrifty, but only in good
working order as it is called.-Home

THAT TIRED FEELING.
Chronic Systematic Catsrrh is Usually the
Cause.

Cause.
Depression of the nervous system of
any kind is likely to cause a condition
OF the mucous membranes of the nose
aud throat so nearly resembling
catarrh that many times they are
Identical. Also chronic diseases
which depress the nervous system
will produce the same result. They
cause tiabby, pale condition of the
mucous surface, with sticky, stringy
mucous secretion, which causes much
hawking or coughing, properly called
catarrh, the whole trouble being
caused by nervous depression. pure
and simple. Besides the usual symp.
tons of catarrh, the patient has brown
specks before the eyes, slight dizziness,
roaring in the ears, attack of nervous
head, palpitiou of the heart, flashes of
heat, followed by slight, chilly sensa-
lions, faitness, depression, despond-
ency, forebodings, foolish fears, and
many other similar ones.
Pc ru.na has again and again been
found to be of great value in such
cases. The first dose gives prompt
relief to the most distressing symp
toms, and persistent use of it for a
reasonable length of time will perma-
nently cure cases of long standing.

JUDGE TERRELL
ARRIVES IN THE CITY LAST NIGHT
FROM TURKEY.
Makes Brief Stop at::washington En- Route
EIn the Best of Health and Greeted by (
Many Friends at the Depot.

Judge A. w. Terrell the ambassad-

arrived in the city last night on the
7:10 train after a long and tedious
voyage from his far eastern home
The journey over the pond was an ex'
ceedingly rough one and the journey

stood the trip well, and when seen
last evening was apparently none the
worse FOR his long journey En- route
he stopped in Washingto ton TO pay his
respects to the president and other
high officials and was heartily thank.
ed by them for his excellent steward
ship in those far distant chimes.
He left Washington saturday after
noon and after a rapid journey, ar
rived at his old home last night to
enjoy among friends the rest he
needed 80 badly. When seen by a
STATESMAN reporter last evening,
the judge was the perfect picture OF
health and it is conclusive that his
life in Eastern chimes has agreed with
him. He expressed himself as more
than pleased at being able to once
again breathe Austin air and clasp
in friendship the hand of old time
acquaintances and friends. In
reply to queries, he stated

which were an their way to that coun-

gave rise to his interference. One
would naturally judge from the
report in question that he had
given orders 10 the warships, which
was entirely incorrect.
Touching on the subject of the

in his reference to home and all its
dear attachments. The judge was
joined by his daughter, Mrs. Lille

down from there together. Judge A.
