THE CAUSES OF MENINGITIS.
Is an Epidemic. But Not to a Serious Ex-
tent In Rock Island.

There is prevailing an epidemic,
of mild form, of cerebro-spinal men,
nights, or spotted fever, in the opin-
ion of DR.. c. c. Carter, who was ap.
preached on the subject today by an
ARGUS reporter. The disease is not
directly contagious, however, con-
tinued the doctor. Spinal menin-
gifts and spotted fever are one and the
same thing. 1t comes in epidemical
form about once in IS or 30 years.
At present the disease is moving
northward. St. Louis is full of it. rs
are number of cities farther south.
The cases here are few, but very malig-
nant. The disease is attracted by
overwork, worry, anxiety or trouble,
especially in instances where I'M
healthy household conditions exist,
such as poor food and lack of proper
sanitation. Dissipation or depressing
mental or bodily surroundings are
likewise predisposing causes. The
existence of n microbe, the micrOcocus
lauceololqs, in sporadic rs well as
epidemic forms, has led to the belief
that the disease may be due to the
organism"
Asked as to n means of preventing
the disease, DR.. Carter said all he
could say would be to advise people to
avoid dissipation and worry and live
normally and quietly and protect
their general health in every particu-
lar. He suggested frequent baths,
clean clothing, avoidance of colds and
keeping of the home dry and healthy.

TO DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY.
Peoples Power Company to Make Exten-
sive Improvements.


The Peoples Power company is to
double its capacity for producing cleo
tricitv. An addition 100 feet long is to
be built TO its station at Moline and new
machinery installed. The entire plant
will be made fire proof. The cost will
be about 500. 1000. The company, in
order to insure continuous and even
pressure and to be prepared for emer-
gencies, is also to install I gas hold in
Rock Island on its property on First
avenue formerly occupied Ey the
Lewis Roofing company The i'm
provement on the plant ut Moline will
increase the company's capacity to
5000 horse power.
The company appreciates the kindly
manner in which it has been treated
in both cities. and proposes 10 give TO
the people service not surpassed in
the west and at the lowest possible
cost. To this end the contemplated
provements are to be made. The
Stacy Manufacturing company, of
Cincinnati, has the contract for in
stalling the gas hold in Rock Island.
and the Coke and Iron works, of St.
Louis. will do the iron and steel work
at the power plant.

Charles Budd died recently at Cam

connection with the murder of Col.
Davenport, of Rock Island. and some

Test Your Seed Corn.

The Illinois Experiment Station
sends out the following advice:
Farmers should test their seed corn.
Owing to the unusually wet fall OF
1898 there is a great deal OF poor SEED
corn as is shown by numerous COM
plants from farmers, and by tests
made at the experiment station. Every
farmer should test his seed corn be-
fore planting. This can be done at
slight expense by using box OF SOIL.
A still better method is to use two
dinner plates. Place an inch Of soil in
the bottom of the first plate, moisten
and cover with two thicknesses of any
cloth, preferably old cloth that mas
been washed several times. Upon this
place the seed to be tested and cover
with another moist cloth. Then cover
by turning the second plate bottom
upwards over the first to prevent the
soil from drying out. and set in a
warm place.

would be we'll to caution those who
have sown seeds of ANNALS during the
last few weeks that the seedlings must
be kept cool. II they are subjected to

$500,000,000

Mr.. Alvord regards this estimate Of
$500. 000,00 as a very conservative one.
and no doubt it is. It follows. then.
that one-eighth Of our total agricul-
tural production Of every sort, includ-
ing wheat, corn, oats. hay, cotton. to-
bacco. beef, pork. mutton, poultry and
wool, is dairy produce. In Great
Britain even a greater preponderance
of dairy production prevails. In round
numbers the total value Of all the
produce sold off the farms of Great
Britain and Ireland amounts to $1,000.-
900, 900 annually. OF this amount $780,

Look for the Tent Caterpillar.
Owing to the lateness of the spring
there is still time to make use OF all
the methods of checking the apple
tree tent-caterpillar for the coming
season. The young larvae are prob
ably yet concealed In the egg-bands
about the wild cherry and apple twigs
and these bands can easily be located,
cut of and burned or soaked in kero-
sene. Certainly the ravages OF the
little pests upon the leaves can only
be begun, even in the most favored
localities, and the voracious caterpll-
lars can be met by arsenical sprays.
The nests Of those escaping the poison
can be cut out or burned upon the tree.
and a final search Of the orchard along
in June will reveal the yellowish-
white cocoons which then conceal the
marauders. After July the egg
bands will be found again and can be
looked for in every orchard operation
until the. next spring. Encourage the
children to seek them out and destroy
them; and try to make friends with
the cuckoos. chickadees. Baltimore
orioles, wrens and vireos, who will aio
you in getting rid Of caterpillars OF
eggs. Wild cherry trees about the
premises should be carefully watched
as they are the favorite food plants
of the caterpillars. These simple rene
dies and precautions are taken from

The Soy Bean - . Farm Crop.
A bulletin Of the Indiana Experiment
Station says: A comparatively new
and promising leguminous crop for In
diana farmers is the Soy bean. This
plant has been successfully grown In
different parts of the state and at
several points farther north in the
United States. It thrives In good corn
soils, and will grow wherever corn can
be successfully produced.
Being . quick maturing annual, 1t
will prove especially helpful to those
who cannot grow clover. A crop OF
soy beans can be produced between the
spring and autumn frosts anywhere
in the state. The soy bean may be
grown for pasture, green forage (soil-
ing). for hay or silage. or for seed. 1t
will yield nine to II tons Of green fod-
der, ~ to az tons Of hay, and 10 to
40 bushels of seed according to variety.
condition Of soil, etc.
Varieties.-If seed Is desired, the
earlier varieties. only. should be grown
in northern Indiana. The Medium
early varieties will doubtless mature
in most parts Of the state. and are to
be preferred owing to their greater
yield. The later varieties might be
grown for soil renewal or soiling, but
they would hardly mature seed.
Culture.-The soil may be prepared
as for corn. If impoverished by prev
ious cropping the soil should be well
supplied with lime. potash and phos-
phoric acid. heterogeneous manures have
also proved beneficial in New England.
The seed may be sown broadcast
with the wheat drill, in rows Is to "a
inches apart, or with the corn drill to
be cultivated as corn. The earlier va
rieties Of soy bean may follow a crop
Of rye or barley or be sown In the
standing corn at the time Of the last
cultivation, II the weather is season
able II sown in corn put in two rows
Of soy beans between each two rows OF
corn. Sow about two pecks to the acre
In rows, like corn, and cultivate. II
seed Is desired. For pasture, soiling OF
hay, SOW four or five pecks to the
acre.
Food value.-Soy bean hay COM
pares favorably with clover hay in
chemical composition. The seed Is
very rich in protein and can therefore
be fed advantageously with corn. The
seed should be ground before feeding.
The seed is readily eaten. Stock as a
rule, do not relish the stems and leaves
at first, but soon take kindly to this
forage. Soy beans and sorghum sup
plement each other as soiling crops
Corn and soy beans, together, are said
to make good silage.
Harvesting.-Begin cutting at the
time of early bloom, for soiling. Cut
for hay when in full bloom, and a:
soon as the pods have formed, fol
silage.
| Cost of Seed.-Seedsmen offer soy
bean seed at $3.50 to S. per bushel
This makes the cost far too great t.
Justify growing soy beans as genera
crop. Farmers are advised to try SO!
beans in a small way as special crop
and then grow their own seed il thu
crop gives promise Of being valuable
