Smallpox is treading hard on the

FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1894.

The health department of Wash
ingtOn pronounces against the
camp of the Coxeyites, on the
ground of its being detrimental to
the health of the city. This is not
on account of the filth of the camp,
though many of the men are reek-
ing with vermin, but because that
camp is pitched in the most I'M
healthy of all the unhealthy Sec
tions of that malarial city. Against
this selection they were warned by
the police authorities when they
entered the city, but they paid no
regard to it. The presence of the
Coxeyites in the city is viewed
with alarm on account of the sick
ness that their presence is likely to
engender. Private adviCes to the
LIGHT represent the men in bad
physical condition and their ex-
posure to the sun and rain and the
malariaI atmosphere, to which
they are unaccustomed, largely
without medicines and without
proper food, is almost certain to
engender epidemic.

Eamie for tho South

The little pamphlet published by
Prof. S. Waterhouse, of Washington
university, on the cultivation of ramie
should have a wide circulation in the
south. The professor shows that the
plant can be cultivated with profit in
the gulf states. The soil and climate of
Mississippi and Alabama are as much
adapted to the growth of ramie as are
those of France, and in France a net
profit of 500 an acre on the plant is not
unusual.
Ramic fiber is claimed by its friends
to be stronger than hemp, as fine as
cotton. as glossy as silk, cheaper
than linen and more durable than
any of its rivals. 1t is used
with them all and also with wool
in the manufacture of dry goods and
clothing. That there is a demand for
the fiber is seen from China's large ex-
port trade in the article, amounting to
500, 900, 900 pounds a year.
Those who question our ability to
successfully compete with cheap
labor country like China in the manu-
facture of lamie fiber should remember
that our improved machinery is a much
greater advantage than China's cheap
labor. The preparation of three pounds
of ramie fiber is a days labor for one
man in that country, while here one
man with a machine can turn out 500
pounds a day.-St. Louis Republic.

FARM POULTRY.
How to Improve the Stock and Enhance
Its Value.

How to Improve the Stock aud Enhance
It's Value.
The improvement of any stock de-
Ponds upon one fundamental principles;
breeding only from the best. Improve
ments in all things can only be pro-
duced in this way. In poultry breed
ing, as we'll as in other things, there is
always room for Improvement. This
is most noticea bic in the farm poultry.
but there has never been a bird raised
by the fancier that has reached per-
lection, SO there is still room for i'm
provement even among the most scion
tific breeders of the country.
The improvement of farm poultry
is of vast Importance, and the
sooner the farmer realizes this the
sooner will he find the egg production
and weight of the fowls increase. If
eggs are what is wanted the size of the
fowl has little to do with it.. but if
market fowls arc wanted the size and
weight has about all to do with it.
How to improve farm poultry is the
question? The quickest and most sue
cessful way of improvements, in our
opinion. is to do away with all the COM
moner mongrel stock, and keep only
pure bred. A stock of pure-bred fowls
are much easier bred and reared, within
the bounds of perfection, than a lot of
mongrels- But even with pure-bred
stock care should be taken in breeding
breeding they become no better than
the commoneSt stock. There are some
farmers who have an aversion to keep
ing pure-bred stock. and to such we
would say. you are the very ones who
should first begin the improvement of
your common fowls. If in the spring,
say about February 1. you would select
only the best of your pullets, get a
strong, vigorous, healthy cock from
some of your neighbors, and breed
these, you would find the chicks
from them to be much healthier,
grow faster, mature earlier. and make
better fowls than the parent stock.
Then the following season select only
the best of these. Get another male
bird and breed in the same way. In
this way you are adding to the utility
of your stock and they will become
more productive and profitable. We
believe that if pure-bred male is
bought every year that it will more
than pay for the cost in the weight
of spring chickens at market time,
besides otherwise improving the
stock, In our own breeding we
never bred a male bird to his own
progeny. We would rather pay IS or
$40 more for a male bird than to do
this. 1t is also much better to breed
cocks to pullets and cockerels to hens
than to breed coc<erels to pullets, and
for our own breeding we prefer hens
two or three years old. While old hens
are not SO profitable as winter layers
the chicks Matched from their eggs are
much stronger and develop into larger
and finer fowls.-W. f. Kemp, in
Farmers Home Journal.
