The Election

Passed off quietly on Monday. The
placing of the second ticket in the field
for members of the board Of education.
under the stereotyped caption Of the
school Reform" ticket, created consid-
cradle interest, notably among the
ladies, I've fifty Of whom visited the
polls and cast their ballots upon the
issue involved.
There being but n ticket nominated
for town officers, there was but little
interest manifested and a small vote
polled, not to exceed one-fourth of the
voters represented at the polls.
The result of the contest for school
officers was the election of the entire
citizens ticket except one member Of
the board, Mrs. Pauline Odds, a candi,
date upon the reform ticket, being
elected by a majority of two votes tc
represent the Fifth district. The officers
elected both town and school, were well
chosen, and there are good and valid
reasons 10 believe they will discharge
their official duties to the entire salts

Circuit Court.

Contrary to public expectation, and a
statement appearing in our issue of last
week, the regular May term of the Gus
ter county circuit court failed to con.
vene on Tuesday, and was not called
until yesterday, There being a very
light calendar, and it having been
decided to dispense with juries, none
other than court cases will be tried, and
as these cases are limited, it is probable
that an adjournment will be reached
this evening. Proceedings will be re.
ported next week.

very creditable, considering the fact Of
the epidemic Of measles which has had

weeks. The house was comfortably

have already commenced preparations
for "Children's Day." June l3, and
seem to be. determined to make that
celebration a great success. The fund

A Tick DESTROYING BIRD.

There is no remedy for any animal or
vegetable pest better than introducing a
natural enemy to the pest, says the
Australasian. AS an enemy to the tick
that is now causing such destruction
among the Northern Queensland herds
the most promising appears to be the
%rhinoceros bird, "Buphaga erythrorhyn-
cha" These birds gain their living by
feeding on the ticks that infest many
of the wild animals in South Africa.
Among wild beasts their attention is
| chiefly directed to the rhinoceros, the
Cape buffalo, the sable antelope, and
the wart-hog, while among the do
| nestle animals horses and oxen are
their favorites. Mr.. JIG. Millais, in his
work, "a Breath from the Veldt," says
of these birds. 1T is no uncommon sight
to see an OK lying stretched on the
ground or his back exposing the under
parts Of his body to them" The rhin-
oceros birds have tails Of horny feath-
ers, and claws of extraordinary strength
and sharpness, by which they can cling
securely. They can hop backwards
quite as well as forwards, and they Of
ten make long drops from the shoulder
to the foreleg, or down the side Of the
animal. This bird could be easily
brought from South Africa to Queens
land, and if it took. to tick-killing as
readily in Australia as it does in the
| Cape, it would be of incalculable benefit
to the stockowners of the north.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1897-02-25

Everything which increases the
amoun of blood ordinarily circulating
through the brain has a tendency to
cause wakefulness. If the brain is
often kept for long periods on the
stretch, during which the vessels are
filled to repletion. they cannot con-
tract even when the exciting causes
cease. Wakefulness, as a consequence,
results, and every day the condition Of
the individual becomes worse. because
time brings the force Of habit into
operation. Everything that tends to
thro& the blood to the brain, and to
accumulate it there, should be avoided.
This is a vital matter, and prevention
is better than cure. Tight or ill fitting
articles of dress, especially about the
neck or waist, and tight boots and
shoes, should be discarded; the feet
should be kept warm, SO that the cir
culation may be promoted. Wearing
cork soles in the boots or shoes, and
exchanging the socks every day are
eXcelleR. means to this end, and
g.rongly recommended. Apart, how
ever, from physical causes, there are
various moral causes acting on the
brain equally inimical to sleep-what-
W keeps the blood vessels of the
brain d%istended, and the consequences
of that we know. On the other hand,
when the mind is quieted. the tend
ency. of the, vessels is to contract and
for sleep ~te;fpllew.

Beet Culture in France.

The United States consul at Havre.
France, says: The beet crop pays the
farmer better than wheat or any other
agricultural product, and hence a large
acreage is under beets. In 1894 the
area was 100000 acres, and the pro-
duction nearly 1S, 500, 900 tons, or near
ly II tons to the acre; SO to 60 per cent
of all this is used for the production OF
sugar. The experience of French cul-
%tivators is stated to be that the cost OF
growing an acre of beets is e., omit
ting the cost of fertilizing, which it is
not always necessary to employ. 1t is
said, too, that the leaves and stalks
left On the field will furnish much more
manure, after they have been fed to
cattle, than the beet requires. The
bounty paid on sugar exported from
Germany has led to less activity in beet
sugar production in France in the last
two years. Nevertheless, the total
quantity exported in 1S94-95 was 1885,
2S7 tons, of which 1873 tons went to
England. The advantage of beet culti-
walton is that there is no waste; every
part of the vegetable can be used in
one way or another. The pulp, after
the juice has been expressed for sugar,
is largely eaten by cattle and is found
to be very nourishing. The leaves and
stalks, when fresh, increase a cows
milk; when dry they afford excellent
winter food. Altogether. the beet
root or the residue after the juice has
been expressed supplies, with the leaves
and stalks, nourishment for cattle and
sheep more abundant, perhaps, than
any other forage that could have been
cultivated on the land" 1t is said
that the leaves are frequently used for
adulterating tobacco: The French ex-
perience is that all lands suitable fol-
growing wheat will also grow beets;
but 1t is necessary to avoid a soil too
compact OF containing too much clay.
The report enters into some detail in
the question Of soils, position, manur-
ing (when necessary, modes If cult
walton, harvesting and preserving the
crop, and a few words are added as~n
the manufacture Of sugar. Something
is said, also, as to experiments being
made in France, under the authority
Of the ministry of commerce, for OBJ
tanning Illuminating alcohol from the
roots.
