The government inspector sent down

lighthouse at Westport, found a suitable
quality Of gravel at Grays Harbor City,
where the supply is now being obtained,
instead of in the Chehalis above Monte
sano, thus saving considerable towing.
At the closing of the poll books in
Montesano, Wednesday night, 1873 voters
were registered, OF whom 1877 were males
and 81 females.

FARM AND GARDEN.
VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS.

Dipping Is Now Said to Prevent
Spread of Texas Fever.
Elaborate experiments on Texas fever
have been conducted during the past
year by the Missouri state authorities,
cooperating with the Texas Experiment
station. It is clearly demonstrated that
the Texas tick is the, natural means of
communicating the disease from one
animal to another. Ticks Matched in
the laboratory when put on Missouri
short-horn COWS in lots free from any
possible infection, produced fatal cases
of Texas fever in every instance within
from ID to IS days after the young ticks
were placed on the animal
The Texas station dipped carload
of Texan cattle. all of which were COW
cred with the Texas fever tick, and
shipped the dipped cattle to the Mis-
souri, Experiment station. These cattle
were dipped in a West Virginia mineral
oil at a cost of less than five cents per
head. The Missouri station confined
these dipped Texan cattle in small lot
with number of short-horn COWS from
the 18th of August until the 1st of No
vember, and made careful daily obser-
vations and temperature records, with
the result that no Texas fever was COM
municated. If subsequent experiments
confirm these results, the dipping proc
ess will be regarded as entirely practi-
cable and feasible. 1t can be easily and
cheap1y done on a commercial scale,
and would enable the farmers of the
Mississippi valley to purchase and bring
to their farms with perfect safety at
any season of the year cheap range
cattle to eat their surplus corn and
grass.
An attempt was made TO inoculate
cattle so that they would be proof
against this disease, with very promis-
ing results. These results are in a meas
ure confirmed by experiments that DR..
Connaway has just concluded in Mis-
sissippi, on carload of dairy cattle
shipped there from Kansas. Twelve of
these cattle had died of Texas fever
before the animals were injected; none
died afterward. The method is neither
expensive nor difficult, and if it proves
to be successful the entire Texas fever
district Comprising dozen states1 will
be opened as a market for the thorough
bred stock of the north and west, in
asmuch as these animals may then be
shipped to these states with safety

.Gone to the Dogs.''

A missionary bishop who had been
six weeks in coming to the convention
at Winnipeg, most of the way in a canoe.
began his address by saying that he
would speak for himself and for a
brother bishop who unfortunately could
not be present. He was sorry to say
that his brothers diocese had gone to
the dogs! A general gloom followed
these words. He went on to say that
the bishop had found SO many inquirers
after religion among the Eskimos north
of Hudson bay that he had to build a
church. As there was no wood, he
used whales ribs for rafters, covering
them with tanned walrus hide, and so
made church to hold so persons. All
went merry as a wedding bell for "a
time. until-the dogs grew famished
and ate the church,

Agricultural Education.

Prof. Henry B. Armsby, dean of the
school of agriculture of the Pennsyl-
vania state college, says that the agri-
cultural products of Pennsylvania eN-
coed the total iron ore, coal and oil
products of the state by $4,000, 900. He
also makes strong plea for agricul-
tural education. Whether we like it or
not" he says, 1--WE are face to face with
new problems and new conditions. In
this process of evolution, by which agri-
culture is adjusting itself to it's new
environment, as in every other process
of evolution, the fittest will survive, The
community or the individual farmer
that can successfully readjust its agri-
culture to these new conditions will con-
tinue to prosper, while the farmer or
the community which fails to do this
will be borne down by forces as pitiless
and as irresistible as gravitation.''

Nearly everyone had gone in to tea;
only Helen and two fannel-clad young
men were on the croquet lawn, aim
lessly hitting the balls about. They
had voted the tea-room too hot to bear.

For a Permanent Pasture.

When practicable a permanent pas
ture is desirable. Fields that are adapt
ed to the production of titled crops that
are under a close rotation cannot be
pastured with profit If crop of clover
or timothy is removed in the rotation
there is nothing gained by grazing the
young grass nor the growth after tie
crop is removed. The soil needs more
of this organic matter than it gets at
the best. and this aftermath is worth
more as food to the soil than to stock.
The skinning of the titled fields by
stock and the tramping when the land
is wet are responsible for many fail
ures to get profitable crops. If less de-
sirabie land can be laid down to per
manent grasses and stock be confined to
this land. the plowed land of the farm
has better chance.
