Reference to the Work of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry.


With reference to horses the secre-
tary says: The American farmer can
grow horses as cheaply as he can grow
cattle; we have a heavy and profitable
export trade in cattle and may have an
export trade equally heavy and profit
able in horses. The department is gath
ering facts regarding our horse industry
at home, and the requirements of pur-
chaSerS abroad, so that our farmers
can learn what foreign buyers demand"
The most important work in which the
animal industry bureau has been en-
gagged he says, is looking to the destruc-
ton OF the cattle tick, for which il is be-
lieved that an agent has been found in
a petroleum product known as paraffin
oil, in which infected cattle are dipped
The extension of the meat inspection
work TO abbatoirs engaged in interstate
business is recommended, as is the con-
tinuance of the inspection of export an
finals in order TO maintain the market

present system of crop reporting. He
says 1t is extremely cumbersome, and
that instead of conducting to complete
ness and accuracy it would apear from
the report Of the statistician to in some
measure defeat its own object by it's
own unweildness and by the fact that
the indefinite multiplication of crop re-
porters weakens the sense Of individual
responsibility.
II strongly favor the making Of some
pecuniary acknowledgement of the SER

GEO. LAVIeNe WHIPS WALcoTr.
Twelve Rounds Is All the CoIored Boxer
Can stand of the Kids Cyclone.

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-George
Lavigne whipped Joe walcott last night,
and whipped him thoroughly. Ten thou
sand people saw the fight under the aus
pieces of the Occidental club. While the
ending was abrupt and unexpected at
the moment, not one OF the great crowd be-
lieved the eventual ending would prove un-
favorable to the Saginaw Kid. He set
a terrific pace from the sound of the
gong in the first round until the end of
the twelfth, and had a good margin to
the good in every round. While Walcott
stalled off the sturdy Michigan mans
rushes he could not stop Lavigne. At
the close of the ninth round Joe was seen
10 limp in going to his corner. and his
seconds gave their attention TO his legs
Walcott is subject to muscular cramps
i'm his lower limbs and it was this all
ment which unfortunately attacked the
colored man last night. However. this
attack did not affect his fighting in the
early rounds Of the fighting and only
served TO end the fight in Lavigne's IA
vor at an earlier stage than was looked
for, as IL was apparent from the begin
ming of the fifth round that Lavigne's
lead could not be overcome. Lavigne
fought for the body and IL was these
blows that took the life out of the COL
ored man.

MAY BREED TROUBLE.
Trip of the Marine Band To Chicago Likely
tn Result in Discord.

Washington, Nov. I. Complications
may yet ensue in regard to the change
OF leadership in the Marine band at
this time, as the contract with the man
agement Of the Chicago horse show was
made by Professor Fanciulli as a pri-
vate individual. II was stipulated that
Professor Fanciulli was to take to Chi
cago about forty-five members of the
Marine band and about twenty
other musicians 1t is understood that
Professor Fanciulli had practically en-
gagged the outside men, according to
the terms of his contract, and there are
likely to be unpleasant developments.
Professor Fanciulli's term does not
expire until Sunday. SO when the band
starts for Chicago ii will go without
its actual leader, with whom the con-
tract was made. Who will assume the
contract and reap the benefits of the
arrangement entered into by Professor
Fanciulli is not known, but develop
ments are looked for by those familiar
with the circumstances.

Agents In Foreign Countries to Gather USE

That We should Raise for Ourselves
Hint About the Horse Trade bureau OF
Animal Industry-Crop Reports.
Washington, Oct. 30.-Secretary Will
son yesterday presented his report tn
the president reviewing the operations
of the department of agriculture for
the past year. The most important rec
concentration made by him is one that
agents for the department should be
stationed at each of our more important
American embassies for the collection of
farmers. Referring to this subject he
says: I'VE are endeavoring to get in
formation from foreign countries with
which we compete in the markets of the
world regarding crops and prices. We
are also making steps TO ascertain what
crops are grown on different thermal
lines. 50 that seeds and plants may in
diligently be brought to this country
to assist In the diversification of our
crops and add to their variety. There is
necessity for American agents, i'm ev-
cry foreign country to which we send
representatives, who have had educa-
ton in the sciences relating to agri-
culture. The agricultural colleges en-
dowed by congress are educating along
these lines"
Would Disseminate Farm Information.
The secretary recommends an in
crease in the appropriations in aid Of a
bureau Of animal industry, of the wealth
er bureau and the publication offices.
He thinks the department should be
enabled to place the results OF i'm
portant operations at agricultural col
leges before the entire country, 80 that
the farmers of each state may get the
result Of the good work done in other
states" He refers to the efforts of the
department to extend the foreign
markets for our dairy and live stock
products, which he thinks can be done
by making the foreigners familiar with
them. Instead of sending abroad for
seeds he says the policy in the future
will be Ito encourage the introduction
Of such seeds as will enable our people
to diversity their crops and keep money
at home that is now sent abroad to buy
what the United States should produce
Figures on IA Big National saving.
Wilson says the department will con-

He made several attempts TO cross over
