VOTERS As PER PETITION


The center line geographically Of
the county Is near the range ltac be-
tween So and 81. West of that line
are twelve townships. In 1902 these
twelve townships cast 1,24S votes.
The townships east of that line cast
1880 votes. The said range line is
two miles and q half east of Cava.
lier. Is Cavalier the center Of popu.
lation of the county?
Again, the county seat removal Pc
tition shows the residence IF the
signers. The petition also shows
from the said twelve western town
ships 1914 petitioners; but, as VIC said
above, they Gust only 1,24S votes; the
petition thus showinga gain Of 32e
voters In the western half Of the
county IN two years. No sane man
believes al; the voters In those west
cru townships have signed the petit
tion and yet, the Cavalier committee
soberly ask our commissioners to be-
lfevc that 2,l4l is two-thirds Of all
the votes Of the county, when the In.
crease Of 500 alone, that they them.
selves add to the total vote Of 1892
comes within SO votes Of proving that
they have not two-thirds Of the voters.
And the largest and best half of the
county containing all the towns, ex.
cept Cavalier, Crystal aud Walhalla
not counted as increased at all.
The same ratio Of gain applied to
the east half of the county, % DER
cent, would make the present total
voting population of the county, ap-
proximate 5000 and, as we say, this
calculation still omits the voters that
have not signed the petition west of
Cavalier. :.

emphatic manner. There ought to be

sheep from breaking them even if they

crossbar or two. This elevation viii

sheep directly; it will pass above them
and find exit through corresponding
windows on the other side These are
to be closed tight only on the most
bitter cold nights. If a sudden squall
arises in the night it is better that a
little snow should blow in than that
the air should become fetid and sick
ening But the entrance of the snow
may be mostly prevented by wide,
overhanging caves. To provide for
still, sultry weather, such as happens
in spring, when there is no breeze to
blow the animal eXhalations out Of
the building, there ought to be one or
more trunks rising to the roof where
a Slated cupola permits their escape.
These same trunks can be utilized
through which to pitch hay down
from the loft to the racks below. Nor
is it enough merely to provide for the
passive escape Of these harmful eXhala
tons; there ought to be active meas
ures taken to prevent any addition be-
ing made to them by means Of fer
menting manure. Through the winter
the manure may accumulate to a con-
siderable depth without causing any
serious detriment, especially if it is
not intermingled with bedding. Bed
ding permits air to circulate through
the manure and thereby promotes
fcrment and the escape Of ammonia.
But as the warm weather of spring
comes on, there will be more or less
fermentation in spite of every precau-
ton; and the careless farmer is made
aware of its presence in his horsesta-
ble-often, we regret to say, also in

Now, if farmer Is saluted with such

must he suppose is the experience of
the sheep which is condemned to an
all-nights imprisonment in such
reel1, with its nostrils only five or six
inches above the floor? At his eleva-
ton he may hardly perceive an odor
which, down where the sheep lives
and breathes, is enough to sicken it
and eventually kill it. AS soon as the

are grown in such large quantities
throughout Italy, it may be added
that, so far as the live stock is con-
cerned, Signor Galanti puts the total
at 100000 head of cattle,
100000 sheep, 100000 goats
100000 pigs, 100000 horses, and
/, 100000 mules and donkeys, The
value of the $4,000 tons of wool taken
from the sheep, and of the 149, 900 tons
of butter and cheese, is put at IS, 1885,
900, and, in concluding his review Of
the situation, Signor Galanti recog-
nizes that since the definite constitu-
ton Of the kingdom of Italy the upper
classes have exhibited a great interest
in agriculture, but that the number of
those who take a direct and practical
part in farming is very limited, alb
senteeism being still too firmly rooted
in the habits of the large landed pro-
prietors. Farmers Review.

There have been efforts made in the
past by the agricultural department to
teach the Germans how to bake and
eat corn bread. The attempt to in
crease the consumption of maize by
this method has been a failure and
never will be a success. In spite of en-
couraging reports sent to the depart
ment the fact remains that, although
a natural shortage of other breadstutfs,
famine, or war may increase the con-
sumption Of maize for bread, in all
cases it will be only temporarily. The
Germans do not eat hot bread, and the
other ingredients necessary to make
corn bread palatable are too expen-
sive and not within the reach of the
poorer classes, for whom the bread is
mainly intended. Maize bread does
not harmonic with the rest of the diet
generally preferred by the Germans
and to which they are accustomed.
Rye bread will always be the bread for
the majority of Germans, and bread
made from the very choicest of wheat
flour is demanded by the wealthy
classes.

India's Wheat Crop.

The Indian government has pub
Gshed it's first general memorandum
on the wheat crop Of British India for
the season of lS93-94. so far as can
be Judged from the reports sent in the
area sown will in bombay and Berar
be slightly below, in the central and
northwestern provinces about equal
to, and in the Punjab somewhat larger
than that sown last year. In Sind,
which depends on inundation over
flows, the rains failed, and the floods
were low and late, while in many parts
of the bombay presidency proper an
unfavOrable wheat-sOwing season, fol-
lowing on a favorable cottOn-sowing
season, has lea to a contraction of the
former in favor Of the latter crop. The
heavy rains Of November caused con-
siderable delay in the Berar SOW
ings, and led in the central prov
inCeS, as did the October rains in the
northwestern provinces, to the resOw-
ing Of certain part of the land. The
rains were not favora BILE in the south
east or in the extreme west of the
Punjab; but, generally speaking, the
good rainfall of September last led in
that province to extensive sowings,
and the area under wheat is estimated
to be 6 per cent over the large area
sown last year. The condition of the
early crop is reported over the greater
part Of bombay to be good or fair,
and a satisfactory outturn is expected
in Berar. In the central provinces
prospects are exceedingly promising,
and full harvest is anticipated. The
crop in the northwestern provinces is
good on the whole, and in the Pun jab
the outlook is at present unusually
unfavorable.

sheep begin to range little on grain
feed, it is more difficult than ever to
suppress these most noxious ammonia
cal exhalations in the stable. If the
manure has been cleaned out las it
should be- the hard earthen floor will
need to be kept constantly bedded
with fine, dry bedding, or sprinkled
with land-plaster or road-dust in order
to absorb the liquid manure, which is
so valuable to crops but so pernicious
as a source of exhalations in stable.

The Q1]ailr'g.
Investigations Concerning Abortion.

Investigations Concerning Abortion.
Stock breeders will be glad to know
that the Royal Agricultural society OF
England has arranged to investigate
this plague, which in some seasons and
localities causes ruinOuS losses to
breeders and dairymen, and hitherto
has not been amenable to ordinary
treatment, says North British Agri-
culturist.' A committee has been APP
pointed, and fourteen questions have
been circulated fairly covering the
breeders portion of the inquiry, 1t is
recognized that the pregnant female
subjected to mechanical violence
sometimes aborts, and that the mishap
is also occasionally produced by over
eXertion and acute Indigestion. But
the most serious spreading and recur
ring attacks occur under all varieties
Of management and diet, at all sea-
sons Of the year, in animals housed
and at pasture, and at all periods of
pregnancy. Ergot, savin, and other
uterine stimulantS are quite inadequate
to explain the occurrence of many out
breaks, notably those where oat straw
and a few roots constitute the
winter feed. The epizootic and
enzootic attacks are undoubtedly
of communicable or con-
tagious character. Various CONT
mental and other eXperimenters have
found That the discharge from
the genitals of recently aborted
cows or ewes caused Dor
ton when introduced on plcdgets
of lint, or by injection into the genital
passages of healthy pregnant cows, or
ewes brought from situations where
the mishap had never been known.
That the abortion thus induced does
not result from any mechanical effect
is shown by the fact that the introduce
ton Of normal genital discharges, or
of aseptic albuminous fluids, produces
no injurious effects. The specific ma
ture of the abortion-contagion a few
years ago was discovered by Professor
Nocard, who found in the uterus of
cows which had abOrted, and in the
alimentary canal of aborted fmtuses, a
distinctive organism, which, although
carefully looked for, could not be dis
covered in healthy cows, or in the di-
gestive organs Of calves carried to
their full time, These organisms are
believed to enter the genital passages,
make their way into the uterus, and
multiply between the fHtal envelopes,
breaking up the connection between
mother and offspring. Based upon
these observations, the preventible
treatment of abortion has become
more rational and successful. Affect
ed subjects are disinfected, strictly $50

Use of Honey,

A honey enthusiast thus sums up the
merits of his favorite sweet: A free,
regular and constant use of honey is
probably the best medicine for throat
troubles there is. 1t is wholesome
and economical substitute for butter,
being Dis rule half the price of thas
article. Honey is of more service in
our cooking than many people i'm
agine, Honey may, indeed, replace
sugar as an ingredient in the cooking
of food. In rice buildings the writer
invariably uses honey instead of
sugar; the flavor is more deli
cious. For preserving most kinds of
fruit honey is far preferable to sugar,
as it has the quality of preserving for
a long time in fresh state anything
that may be laid in it or mixed with it,
and preventing its corruption in a far
superior manner to sugar. For many
medical purposes honey is invaluable,

Farming in Italy.

M sketch of agriculture in Italy,
and with special reference to the crisis
now prevailing there, Signor Galanti
gives some particulars as to the actual
state of affairs, which are of consider
able interest in view Of the present de-
preston, says "LondOn Live Stock
Journal" He states that the area Of
land under cultivation is about 60, 000,-
900 acres, of which nearly one-ffth is
in wheat, with a yield of about II
bushels per acre, while about 5000, 900
acres are devoted to Indian corn, the
yield being about Il bushels an acre.
About 800, 600 acres are devoted to rice,
or rather more than is sown in oats;
barley and rye occupying very little
space, while about two million acres
are occupied by leguminous plants,

| lated, fed, and sold off; the bulls are
dressed with corrosive sublimate solu
ton; and the vulva, tail head, and hind
quarters Of the in-calf COWS are also
repeatedly washed with sublimate OF
other etfectual solution, in order to de
stroy any organisms that may have
lodged upon them. Investigations
thus far appear to be on the right
| track; the nature of the disease seems
to be realized, and it's prevention
should hence be greatly facilitated. A
good deal, however, has still to be
learned regarding the life history of
the organism. Competent investiga-
tons should throw light upon it's
origin, and explain how the first case
in an outbreak arises. Do the organ
isms or their spores, it may be asked,
| have an independent existence outside
the animals body? In the uterine dis
charges there are normal and innocent
| organisms which, under certain faulty
conditions of the parts, may possibly
be developed into abnormal and injuri-
Gus organisms. Can the parturient
discharge from COW, which has car
ried it's calf to the full period, owing
to placental retention or other unto.
ward conditions, afford suitable media
for the production of the organism
which causes abortion? Problems
such as these have to be solved before
we can fully understand and effectively
grapple with abortion.
FATTENING SHEEP For quick fat
tening at all times it is best to put the
sheep in pens with enough room to al
low them to turn in nicely. When fat
tening during the winter months it has
proven to be the best plan with us to
keep the wethers confined and only
leave them out at rare intervals in a
small yard. If the wethers are made
comfortable inside we'll ventilated
building they will make the best pos
sible gains. Oftentimes after leaving
them out have noticed that they get
