The City Election Last Tuesday
was not Contested.
There was but One Ticket, and 8
Light Vote was Cast.

For the first time in the history
of Pullman, as town and city, the
annual city election engsndered no
strife, there being but one ticket in
the field, and that apparently ac-
ceptable in the main to the whole
people.
In consequence of there being
but one ticket there was q lack OF
interest in the election, there being
no doubt in the outcome.
Ia the south precinct 80 voters
went to the polls, only 3S cxercis-
ing the right of franchise in the
north precinct. Out of the total of
137 ballots, there were of course
number for scattering candidates,
some of the funny voting all the
way from Slim Simpkins for mayor
to John Sherman for councilman.
The only place where a cut was
made into regular nominated can
didate's vote WAS for treasurer,
Samuel Chambers, although not an
avowed candidate, receiving the
votes of 43 of his friends. Neil
Stewart was given ten votes for
councilman-at-large, and DR.. Will
son got the same number for health
officer. Others got one and two
votes each for the various offices.
The vote on the regular nominees
who were duly elected to serve the
city in an official capacity during
1898, was as follows:

CORN SMUT.
Is 1t Injurious to Cattle?-Whst Experts
Say Prevention OF smut.

Is It Injurious to Cattle?-Whst Experts
Say Prevention OF smut.
The idea is prevalent that corn smut
is injurious to cattle Many farmers be-
lieve that the so called cornstalk dis
ease is due in part at least to smut. If
at such times any COWS aborted, 1t was
usually attributed to the smut. Some
years ago, in order to test this matter
and learn something definite about it,
the Wisconsin experiment. station I'M
dertook the experiment of feeding cows
corn smut and noting the effect Sever
al cows were in the test. 1t was COM
menced by feeding each COW daily a
small quantity and gradually increas-
ing it till each had a large amount.
The COWS We're closely watched, and
the experiment continued for several
weeks No bad effects were observed
except with one COW. She ate an im-
mense quantity.
Similar experiments have been made
at the Ohio Illinois, Nebraska and 9th
er experiment stations, and IN none Of
them have any bad results been reported.
The latest experiment Of the kind Of
which we have any record was made by
Professor Clinton ID. Smith of the Mich
igan experiment station. Professor
Smith sums up his report as follows
1.-THE conclusion which can safely be
drawn from the experiment is that
where cows are gradually brought into
the habit of consuming large quantities
of smut il does not seem hurtful to
them Whether the same thing would
be true where cows unaccustOmed to
smut suddenly gain access to large
quantities of it must remain for future
experiment. 1t is safe to say, however
that any quantity of smut that would
be at all likely to exist in a cornfield or
ditions to COWS, would not be dangerous
to the health of the animals. >
G. p. Goodrich, writing to The Prai-
RE Farmer, says that his experience is
that stock can t get enough smut IN the
ensilage to do them the least hurt
When it comes to turning cattle III Il
stalktield that has great deal of smut
in it, the case may be different. He
does not however, approve of neglect
ing means Of preventing smut which
decreases the yield of corn. He says:
Scientists tell us that smut is a fungus
that is propagated from spores that are
in the ground or in the seed corn, and
that the smut that is left i'll the corn
field this year or hauled ont in manure
from cattle that have been fed smutty
corn will be likely to make more smut
next year If that is the case, it may
pay farmer to gather up all the smut
and destroy it rather than have it left
on the ground. The smut spores in the
seed corn can be killed by soaking it in
blue vifriol and by changing crops so
as not to have corn several years III sue
cessiOn Oh the same ground there will
be less liability of growing smut. "
The Somerset reporter., 1897-11-11

We believe that usually as fast as
the corn is husled out the stalks should
be only left day or two if the weather
promises to be fine and be then at once
drawn to the barn. 1t may be supposed
that while there is still so much juice
in the stalk there viii be great danger
of the stalks fermentlng. But if the
stalks have been free from rainfall for
a week before all the heating they will
get will only make the outer coating of
the stalk less hard and will therefore
enable the stock to eat greater portion
of it. We have seen cows greedily eat
stalks from the NOV III winter that bad
fermented even to the point of mildew-
ing, while stalks thrown loosely ON the
sCaffold and which had never reached
fermentation We're dry and tasteless.
The truth is that the outside of the
cornstalk is so hard that some fermen-
tation is an advantage to it. We are
used to saying that all fermentation i'm
plies some destruction of nutrition
This is doubtless true in the silo. But
making the stalks easier for stock to eat
much more than compensates for the
waste caused by slight fermentation
either in the NOW or in the silo -

Here is what American Cultiyator
has to say on the banking of celery: 1T
is best to tie n string around the tops
drawing the stalks as closely together
as possible This not only prevents the
celery from rusting because of dirt get
ting between the leaves, but the plants
can be packed much closer and handled
more easily. A small rubber band will
save more than its extra cost over string
in the greater ease with which it can
be applied. 1t is also better, as it will
draw the stalks closer after they are
taken from the ground, and thus give
the celery fresher appearance. Where
stalks are thus bound not much bank
ing is required. A wide board ON each
side and running to nearly point at the
top shuts out the light. 1t also keeps
the plant dry. SO that it is warmer in
side, and the celery blanches faster than
if covered with soil, which is likely to
chill the plant -

On listing.

To ask a friend to "come sometime"
and make you a visit is equivalent to no
invitation at all says writer in "Harper's
Bazar." 1t is simply polite facon de
parler, and means little. This sounds like a
sweeping statement, but it is none the less
true. If you really desire to see your
friend in your home. you will follow the
foregoing speech by the request that she
will state some date when she will find it
convenient to make you a visit, or you
will yourself set time when you will be
at leisure to st her. As a rule, "any time
means no time. Too many well-meanlng
persons do not understand the importance
of this matter of invitations. When you
name the time at which you wish your
friend to visit you, also mention the stay
you expect her to make; or, if you wish to
have her as long as she can possibly remain
in your home, invite her to spend at least
a fortnight, as much longer as she finds
practicable.
When the time set by you and your
guest as the duration of her stay with you
has expired, do not burden her with plead
ing that she will stay longer. Make her
appreciate that it would give you great
pleasure to have her change her plans, but
when you see that she has already made
her auangeme nts and feels that she should
not stay, do not urge her further. To
speed the parting guest is as much part
of gracious hospitality as to welcome her.
Never shall | forget the discomfort and
annoyance to which was subjected as a
young girl by being begged to lengthen
visit which desired to bring to an end at
the time appointed for my departure. My
young hostess and her mother begged that
| would remain at their seaside cottage for
a week longer. They were getting up a
sailing party. and must not miss it. |
was too polite to say that the sight of sail
beat made me sea-sick, and that | would
ther face unknown perils than enter one
of the rocking denominations. could only
plead that my visit had lasted for two
weeks, and that my mother would expect
me to come home.

Beef or Dairy.

In making up ones mind as to whether
one will commence with dairy or beef cat
tie it is we'll to consider that in the markets
of America nearly So worth of milk, cream,
butter and cheese together. are sold and
consumed to every 81 worth OF beef. Con
slider that in all homes outside of the
cities the milk, butter and cheese is as FIVE
to one consumed in the family, to that of
beef. The market is, therefore, inexhaust-
able, and can never become less than it is
Then the animal once sold for beef is gone
forever, but the mich COW ought to. and
will, if of a dairy breed, produce enough
to pay for herself every year, and in the
place OF the COW being gone each time her
price is realized, she still remains in the
owners hands, and is yet good for 10 or
IS years. There is hardly any compar-
son between raising 10 he Tiers for the dairy,
of some first class breed, and the raising
OF 10 even first. class steers for beef. The
milk and butter of the 10 former will almost
when sold. the price received for the beef
steers. The steers are gone, but all the
cows are left Maine Farmer.

A Model Housewoman.

Somebody has been taking notes in a
family where the mater familias seems TO
be the very embodiment of domestic
diplomacy. These are the results of said
observations TIL t she never describes
her aches and pains. That she never
dwels on unpleasant "reminiscences. That
she never apologies for the food. That
she is never a martyr. That she never
corrects the children in the presence Of
any person, even the family. That dis
order OF a temporary nature does not
visibly disturb her. That when the family
diatrlbe threatens she knows how and
when to deity change the subject. That
she gets rid of a guest who bores her by
simply folding up newspaper, and the
other never suspects. That she lets every
one have affairs OF his or her own That
she is to polite and crodial the child
ren's friends. That she never communi-
Gates any news before dinner That she
never diyulges her methods. They look
SO easy, it's a wonder all women don't
live up to these rules
