GERMS IN THE SOIL.


They Preserve Their Vitality and
Often Spread Disease.
A writer in the Journal of the Frank
lin institute. calls attention again to
the danger of disease germs in soils.
He says:
1t has been observed in France that,
in localities where animals are inferred
which have died of Charlton, the germs
OF this infectious malady persist in
the soils for many ~ars, and that, es-
pecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
OF communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case it was
observed that many sheep which were
before, single animal which had died
of Charlton was buried, were infected
with the disease and died. In like man
ner, it is entirely probable that the
germs of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, to finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the own
ers of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect
ing Tic SOIL ny cdrcdSSeS when are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema-
ton is the only safe method of dispos-
ing of such infected carcasses. The
investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases of an in
fictitious nature due to these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality in the soil. Among others may
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanus,
and the micro'oe producing the bubonic
plague, which retains it's vitality in the
soil, and thus escapes entire eradica-
ton. For the reasons given above, the
agronomist, who also has at heart the
bealth and welfare of man and beast,
can hardly look with favor upon any
of the plans which have been proposed
for the use of sewage from large cities
for irrigation purposes. There is
scarcely time in any large city when
some infectious disease, due to the ac-
tivity of germs, does not exist, and the
sewage is liable at all times to be con-
taminated Herewith.

sity for hurrying back to Allacoochee
that night. The small hotel was clean;
the supper had been of the kind which
proPhesies a wholesome breakfast;
and ne was weary enough to call it a
days work and go to bed. None the
less, when he realized that his last
chance for reaching Allacoochee had
faded into a distant roar and two red
eyes staring back at him down the
long stretch of straight track
north of Glenco, he. was i'm
1nediately possessed with an i'm
Fortunate devil of Impotence. As q
matter OF fact, since there was an early
train in the morning, it could make lit
tie difference whether he slept at Glen
co or at his room at the Johannisberg:
but it was a part of his plan that he
Should reach Allacoochee at once. and
go he must, if he had to walk. So
much he said to the hotelkeeper, who
was at q loss to understand the impa-
thence of his guest. A man might
walk, he said; it was only ten miles.
And then, again, a man might ride, if so
be he were willing to pay for horse.
Philip caught at the alternative and Of
fered to pay literally. The horse was
found, and after many minute direc-
lions about the road, which were quail
fed, repeated and amended until they
were hopelesssly obscure, Thorndyke
rode away in the darkness.

With the lingering look from loving eyes
That had filled their lives with light;
But sadder are those who. softly,
In their inmoSt souls must say:
"Nct you!" to one another,
They meet in their narrow way:
Yet who feel that the sun is shining
Zen now on the thoughtful brow
or the man or woman in all the world
Before whom their hearts would bow;
who In turn are wistfully waiting,
With eager outstretohed hands,
To welcome the long-delayed one
Who would answer their souls demands.

SHADE FOR POULTRY.

Wonders Can he Accomplished with a
Little SunfOwer Seed.
If one has not natural shade for his
fowls, this must be provided artificial
ly, and there are so many ways that it
seems unnecessary to mention them.
such as the use of bagging stretched
on poles, some boards placed on a
frame with sufficient slant to carry off
the water; planting of vines, etc.; but
the one which have used is the large
Russian sunfiower, as this produces
abundance of shade in the summer
and seeds in the fall. It is wonderful
how many plants will grow from five
cent investment in seeds, and I prefer
|! this variety to any other, as the seeds
are too large for the sparrow to eat, in
consequence of which you are left with
a large quantity. If one raises white
fowls, or those with any white in their
plumage, or buff fowls, it is absolute:
ly necessary to keep them entirely out
of the sun and rain if one wishes them
gotten into the best possible condition
as to plumage, and for this purpose an
old shed is about as good as anything,
provided everything in it is clean and
the roof does not leak.-Rural World.

CONVENIENT HEN HOUSE.

pieces 10 inches apart, ends of cross
pieces hinged to north wall feet above
floor, the other ends supported by 2
foot logs so that it all raises easily when
cleaning house.
Nests are made on the two IL foot
sides under the projecting roof, holes
being cut through the wall 6 inches
above the floor 6x8 inches, with sliding
doors inside to raise from outside with
string. The boxes for the nests are
made fourteen inches square on the bot
tom, upper part of side next to wall left
open to fit over the hole in the wall, top
of box made to slope enough to keep the
hens from sitting on them and half Of
lid hinged on to raise from outside, each
nest box being separate, can be lifted
off and cleaned easily.
On the south under the door is an ap-
proach or Z feet wide, with holes 8x1O
inches with doors to close them same
as nests, feet each side of door, for
fowls to enter.
A small picketed yard is made
around three sides, east, north and
west, in which hens may run while set
ting, by opening lid and closing slid
ing door, and laying hens cannot in
trude on them.

BROKEN CROCkERY.
Not NOurishinE, But Still Very Good
Feed for Chickens.

Feed for Chickens.
An excellent way to- dispose Of
broken crockery that at times accumu-
lates about the dooryard is to pound
the pieces until they are as fine as
grains Of corn, and put them into
box or scatter them over the ground
where the poultry can have access to
them. There should always be box or
bin in the yard preferably under cover
where the fowls can get to it at all
times, into which Broken oyster shells,
coal, broken plaster, crushed and
burned bone, crushed crockery, etc.,
should be put. The box should never
be empty.
A subscriber asks about feeding
broken glass to poultry. We have never
made practice of using it, but know of
a number of poultry farmers who Go
and like it. They also claim that no evil
effects result from it's use. 1t seems to
be an unnatural and unnecessary ar
ticle to use, especially when gravel,
bones, crushed stone, crockery, etc.,
are so easily obtained and prepared for
use.
Most of us know from experience
how sharp are the edges of broken
glass; how fowls can swallow splinters
of it without decorating their threats
and mouths is indeed .puzzling. Once
in the gizzard, however, it provides aw-
full sharp teeth.-Rural Californian.

How to Cool on a Pig.

A great many breeders upon having a
hog or pig over-heated, or very warm,
s.ttempt to reduce the temperature by
dashing bucket of cold water over it.
Very often the result is dead pig in a
very short time. The proper way to
cool off pig just received in a crate
or one that is overheated, is to let it lie
still and commence pouring water
gradually on it's nose, continuing for
the space of two minutes on the nose,
and up to the top of the head. Then
when the head is thoroughly cooled,
proceed backward gradually, not pour
ing too rapidly at first, till you have
reached the tail. In this way the hog
will be cooled off without danger of anv
bad effects from the overheating.-

Supply Poultry with Grit

Because flock has the run of a
field is no reason for supposing that =
plentiful supply of gritty material is
found by the hens. A calculation will
show that, when the hens are search
ing daily over every portion of the
range only short time is required for
them to appropriate all the gritty ma
terial that can be utilized. It is not
every kind of hard substance that will
answer the purpose. Round gravel is
not suitable. The hens should have
sharp cutting material, such as, a;n+
broken china and earthenware, or even
glass. When they are confined. it is
still moreimportant-thatthe matterIof
providing grit should not be overlooked.

needed, then boarded up inside and ouv
with matched cedar boards. This gives
an air space between the boarding tina

The building can then be set upon the
posts, the whole expense for foundation
being small. Other wood that does not
readily decay can be used if desired
instead of the cedar. A window ought
to be put into the foundation on either
side, to be kept open in summer, to air
out the interior. In this way the inner
boarding will be much less likely to dc.

The famous Cook was also merchant
man. Indeed, some of the finest seamen
and greatest heroes of naval story have
come out of our mercantile marine.
But it is scarcely necessary to say
this, seeing that the merchant service
very greatly antedated the establish

kins, Frobisher, Drake and the many
other stars of that splendid galaxy of
sea-chieftains as queens men in the
sense that a royal naval officer is now

the merchants found them ships; the

Grim Shrewdness.
:. Sir Wemyss Reid tells story redolent
Of a grim shrewdness characteristic of
canny Novocastrians: ''There was a
worthy, long since forgotten, in my
time, who was prototype of Rogue
Riderhood, in Our Mutual Friend.' He
was known as Cuckoo Jack. and he lived
upon the Tyne in well-patched old
boat, picking up any trife that came
his way, from a derelict to corpse.
One day an elderly and most estimable
Quaker of Newcastle, in stepping from
a river steamboat to. the quay, slipped
and fell into the stream. Cuckoo Jack
was at hand with his boat and quickly
rescued the luckless Friend and landed
him, dripping, on the quay. The good
man drew half a crown from his pocket
and solemnly handed it to his pre-
server. Jack eyed the coin for a mo-
ment with lack-luster gaze, spat upon
It solemnly for luck and, having
placed it safely in his pocket, said. in
. matter-of-fact tone, to the soaked
Quaker: Man, ah'd hev gotten five
shillin' for takin' ye to the dead
hoose.' "-London Telegraph.

ROBBERY OF A TRAM.
Bandits Loot the Express Car on the
Southern Railway on the Br-
Nm

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. 2l.-Train
robbers got in their work again tonight
on a Southern Railway passenger train.
The hold-up was, as on the previous occa-
sion, at Berry station, on the Birmingham
and Greenville division, and within 800
yards of the previous occurrence.
Details are meager, as the officers are
very reticent and Lave used every effort
to keep the matter quiet, but enough is
known to say that the express-car was
looced. This assertion is warranted, as it
is known that Express Agent HALEY re-
ceived telegram about 0 O'Clock, which
said in substances: Train held up at
same place beyond Berry station. Send
Burns"
As soon as possible a special was got
from the Southern roundhouse and Ed
wards and Special Detective Burns, with
posse, left for the scene.
The robbers, it is sup posed, got on the
train at Berry station, and when large
stream was reached got into the engine
and made tn engineer halt the train.
The express car was forced open and the
safe looted and then the engineer was
ordered to pull out
1t is i'm possible 10 learn the amount of
money in the safe, as the com pany's
agent is not to be found.
