Lumpy Jaw and it's Cure

EDITOR CENSOR: John Morton has
had four cases of lumpy jaw in cattle
this winter. They have run to an old
barley stack. He is curing them, or has
them almost cured, by dosing them with
iodide of potash. If taken in time many
cases can be thus cured. The disease is
not contagious Morton's cattle did
not catch it from other cattle, but by
eating the germs of the disease, prob
ably at that barley stack. The germs
are on those barley heads and they get
into the gums, and multiply and tumor
forms. For cure give the iodide, or
cut out the tuners when small, and
swab the wound with carbolic acid
The meat or milk of au affected animal,
unless the tumor is large is not injured
by the disease. It is simply local, and
is vegetable parasite. @. v PORTER.

Wolf Children

The adoption of human infants by
wild and carnivorous quadrupeds has
obtained more or less credence among
the vulgar from the earliest ages and
while such today are for the most part
poohpoohed as idle tales the skeptics
have little idea of the evidence that has
been offered in substantiation thereof.
Half a century ago the iconoclast
who would have dared question that
Romulus ana Remus owed their nurtur-
ing to a she wolf would have been
laughed to scorn by most lovers of the
classics. Twenty five years later the ami
NAL was substituted, on the part OF tu-
tors, by woman named Lupa-a most
ingloriouS conclusion, derived solely
from imagination. Today the tendency
to ignore all sentiment causes such ideas
to receive scant courtesy, and when sen
timent is introduced as evidence is met
by the undeniable statement that the
same miracle is accredited with preserv-
ing the lives of many gods and heroes
of antiquity Consequently if single
case of child being fostered and reared
by animals can be substantiated beyond
question the result will be to rehabili-
tate as history much literature that SOLE
" on this account has been relegated to
the realm of fiction. -Lippincott's

His Grace.

Little Milly is good Sunday school
scholar, and on that account was invit-
ed with two or three others to spend
the day at the minister's residence by
way of reward. When the dinner came
on, the good man said such long grace
before meat that Milly yawned anu
looked huugrily at the covers.
"Why are you yawning. Milly?' ask
ed the minister. "Does not your father
say grace?'
"Oh, yes" answered Milly prompt
", "but it ism t SO long as that. "
"And what does he say?" pursued the
clergyman, hoping to obtain text fol
a little homily,
''He says different things, but last
time when he sat down he took off the
cover and said: Great snakesl Do yor
call this dinner?' %
The homily was postponed. -Stranc

The Newsnaner fsogy.

E. L. Godkin in The Atlantic claims
that the advertiser rather than the sub
scriber is now the newspaper bogy.
He is the person before whom the pub
Usher covers and tries to please, and
the advertiser is very Indifferent about
the opinions OF a newspaper. What In
terests him is the amount or quality OF
its circulation. What he wants to know
is how many people see it. not how
many people agree with it. The conse'
uuence is that the newspapers OF largest
circulation, published in the great cen
tiers Of population where most votes are
cast, are less and less organs OF opinion,
especially in America. In fact, in some
cases the advertisers use their influence,
which is great and which the increas-
ing competition between newspaper;
makes all the greater, TO prevent the ex
preston in newspapers OF what is prob
ably the prevailing local view of men Of
evsats. There are not many newspaper
which can afford to dsfy large advsz

Still in Love with BaImy California.


From a private letter written from
his rural California home, under date OF
February 23d, we make the following
excerpts from one Of P. j. Layne's always
digs stible essays:
Although in somewhat out-of-the

cerned, yet it is pleasure simply to
be here. In point of everything that
makes state desirable for habitation,
why the rest of the U s isn't in it at
all. TRY to imagine You fellows plow-

poses, but for personal comfort it can't

that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy

In Hot Haste After the Weed.

The past week has brought more
activity into the local tobacco market
than during the present season. No
less than six or eight buyers represent
ing foreign firms have been travelling
the growing districts, and quite large
per cent of the tobacco has been picked
up, although there are many good crops
vet in the hands of farmers unbought.
Local dealers were on the wing and
bought literally. Receipts at the ware
houses were very heavy and it kept the
operators hopping to receive and store
it away. Prices range from 1 to 81
cents, and we hear 7 was paid for few
exceptionally good crops. The average
figure is about 81 cents.
