CAUSE OF ERGOTISM.
The Disease Is Developed Only In
stock Which Has Access to Ergot.
IL Plant Fungus.

Following is brief description of the
disease termed "ergotism"; This dis
ease is caused by stock eating ergot,
which is found in the feed. Ergot is
not species of weed, as is sometimes
thought, but is a stage in the life his
tory of a fungus. The term was APP
piled to it by the French from its fam
cied resemblance to the spur of a cock.
The scientific name is "Claviceps pur-
purea." Spores of the fungus are
formed and carried by currents of air.
or other means, to the flowers of the
grasses favorable for its development.
Here the ergot is developed entirely
below the ovary and prevents the for
nation of the grass seed. Full de-
velopment occurs about one month
after the invasion of the ovary takes
place. The grains of ergot differ in
size, but are essentially the same in
shape. Sometimes the grains are so
small that they are difficult to distin-
guish with the naked eye. Usually
the size varies in length from one-half
an inch to over an inch, and in diam
eter from one-fifteenth to one-siXth.
They are cylindrical; sometimes slight
ly ribbed and furrowed, and often ir-
regularly fissured. They are curved
and taper toward the ends. Their
color varies from dark violet to blue
black or black.
Just what poison is contained in the
ergot is unknown, yet the fact that
poison does exist there cannot be dis
puted. The poisoning of animals by
ergot may occur at the end of a longer
or shorter time, even weeks or months
after eating it. The system by this
time has become so filled that there is
no means of providing a remedy. Symp-
toms of commissions are not often no
ticed in the diseased cattle: but the
most marked effect is in the circulatory
system. The eXtremities, such as the
ears, tail, lower parts of the limbs, etc,
begin to lose their warmth and SEN
sibility gradually. Dry gangrene sets
in, the parts harden, become num-
mifed and finally drop off without
pain. 1t is evident that the only means
of prevention is to cease feeding the
fodder containing the ergot.-Nebras-
ka Experiment Station.

Keeping Eggs in Cellars.

During the summer months, when
the air temperature is often near blood
heat a large part of the day, it is eN-
tremely difficult to keep eggs even few
days without starting the germ to
growing. Of course this ruins the egg,
and as during the night the cool air
chills the egg, it is good for nothing,
even for incubation. Many farmers
make the cellar the place where they
store their eggs until they have IA
chance to market them. The truth is
that in summer il is not best to have
eggs longer than three or four days aft
er they are laid before disposing of
them. The cellar often has very un.
wholesome air, and as the egg shell is
porous its contents are affected in iuri-
ously without regard to the tempera-
ture where it has been kept.

THE BOYS SUMMER SWIM.

Now, off with your garments, boys; quick!
look alive
No waiting about in fear on the bank;
A run and spring, and clean, clever
dive,
Just leaving bubble to show where you
sank.
Or IL you prefer it. header" then take,
Your head popping out as your feet dis
appear;
If managed Alright, you win no splashng
make,
But enter as stiff and as clean as spear.
shake of your head. and your eyes will
be free
From water, and now you start off for
your swim;
The side stroke, or breast stroke, which
one may agree
The best with your fancy, your style or
your whim.
You're blown? Then turn over and rest
while you float;
It only wants pluck, and is easy to do
That's right; you're as safe and secure as
boat,
You see. there's no need to get into a
stew
Now make for the bank, Chamber out, and
prepare
To try some new trick, such as diving for
eggs,
Or turning somersault ceverly ere
The water you reach, or else swim with
tied legs.
When tired of all, and before you grow
chill,
Come out (you may easily stay in too
long,
And rub yourself down with hearty good
will.
You can't scrub too hard, and you can't
scrub too strong.
Then jump in your clothes, and be off for a
run,
And do not pull up till you glow in each
limb;
Then, boys, believe me, when that run shall
be done,
You'll find yourself better by far for your
swim.

THE FARM MANURES.
Made, Except when the Ground
Is Soft in Spring.

Farm manures is a more popular sub
ject in the west than it was even as late
as ten years ago. Over the larger por-
tion of the west, we have concluded that
there is not much business wisdom in
burning straw stacks or regarding the
manure pile as a nuisance. The manure
is a part of the return from keeping
and feeding domestic animaIs just as
clearly a part as the carcass is, and
throwing away the meat, milk or wool
of the animal would be just as sensible
as throwing away the manure. In an
elaborate article before us the state
ment is made that experiments indi-
cate that manure should be collected
in pits having impervious walls and
bottom" If farmer should construct
a pit like that, he would be a fit SUBJ
ject for a lunatic asylum. If anybody
desires to hoard" manure, to keep it
in sight and Incidence, he had better
have covered barnyard. But the land
is the place for the manure, and there
is where it should go just as fast as it
is made and it is convenient to haul it
out. The farmer who will persist in
permitting his manure to burn out or
leach out in the barnyard, might not be
more unwise if he built a water tight
pit, or adopted some other expensive
contrivance to preserve the fertilizing
elements, and forking the manure into
the pit, and especially forking it out,
might be considered a deserved punish
ment. But the best advice to be given
such a farmer, is this: Haul out your
manure as it is made, except when the
ground is soft in the spring, or other
conditions make it impracticable.-A
ricultural Epitomist.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Onions chopped fine make desir-
able relish for chicks.
Dispose of surplus or Gull cockerels
as soon as marketable.
After breeding season separate male
birds from the females.
As the chicks mature, separate the
males from the females.
Never allow your chicks to roost on
their own droppings. Change their
coops often.
Chicks should have animal protein.
Chicks must always have plentiful
supply of water and grit.
Granulated charcoal is eaten greedily
by chicks; it absorbs the gases i'll the
bowels and regulates them.
If your chicks have diarrhoea feed
or two middlings will ofttimes stop
it. If constipated feed u few feeds of
bran.

of lime Stacked or in the form of white
wash in the hen house.
Grease the heads of chicks with lard,
dust the chickens under the wings with
insect powder, clean their feed and wa
ter troughs with scalding water twice a
week.
If hens have formed the egg-eating
habit, take a lot of egg shells, crush
them up fine and feed them all they will
eat. They can usually be found in
quantities at bakeries.-Rural World.

NATURAL FLY TRAP.
The Dionea, n Little Carolina fiaht'
Is Far More Reliable Than
Sticky FIypaper.

Flvtraps are well known in the ami
NAL kingdom to everyone who has eyes,
or at least, who uses them.
The delicate web of the spider and
the deeply cut and broad mouth of the
swallow at once suggest themselves.
But that vegetable should have an eX-
quisitely constructed and perfect appa-
ratus of this kind is very remarkable,
when it is remembered that plants diff
fer markedly from animals in regard to
their food. For, while animals live on
organic substances-thati is, on plants
or other animaIs-vegetable live on in
organic substances.
1t is. then, unlikely that fly could
supply plant with food, and yet a
more perfect fly trap than the leaves
of the dionea cannot be imagined
This little plant is native of the
sandy bogs in the pine barrens of Caro-
lima. 1t grows to a height of from six
to twelve inches, producing g loose head
of large whitish flowers, not unlike the
flower of the ladys smock.
The flower stalk rises from a rosette
of yellowish green leaves, spreading on
the ground. Each leaf is divided by a
deep incision into two portions, the
lower being a broadly winged foot
stalk, and the upper the blade or true
leaf itself.
The upper portion is the fytrap--
the most curious part of the plant
and demands careful description.
1t is roundish and divided into two
equal parts bya strong mid-rib. The mar
gins are fringed with a row of strong
spiny bristles, so that it may be likened
to two upper eyelhs joined at their
| bases. The leaf is little hollow on
either side of the midrib, the upper sur
face is dotted with minute reddish
sands, and each hollow is furnished
with three slender bristles. The sensi-
tiveness of the leaf chiefly lies in these
bristles. If an insect alights on the leaf
and touches one or more of them the
sides suddenly close with a force so
great as to imprison the little creature,
Notwithstanding all its efforts to es-
| cape. The fringe of bristles on the
opposite side of the leaf interlace like
the fingers of the two hands clasped to-
gether, or like the teeth of steel trap.
The insect is not crushed or suddenly
destroyed, but is retained firmly i'm
prisoned until it ceases to move, which
would mean until it was dead, and then
the leaf suddenly expands.
The two lobes are enfolded at night,
but spread open in the day. When the
bristles are irritated by man, the leaf
quickly closes, remains closed for a
short time, then slowly expands, ready
to close again if newly irritated.
But if it be caused to make repeated
efforts at short intervals. its move
mcnts become languid, or the sensibil-
ity is altogether exhausted and is re-
covered only by e period of repose.--

Trees and plants have their regular
times for going to sleep, as well as
boys and girls. They need the same
chance to rest from the work of
growing and to repair and oil the ma
chinery of life. Some plants do all
their sleeping in the winter, when the
ground is frozen and the limbs are
bare of leaves. In hot countries, where
the snow never falls, and it is always
growing weather, the trees rest dur
ng the rainy season or during pc
"iods of drought. They always choose
the time when they cannot work the
best for doing thea sleeping, just as
mankind chooses the night, when he
cannot see to work. A Norwegian sci
enlist has made some interesting eX-
periments trying to chloroform plants,
and he has found that the fumes of this
sleep giver make the plant sleep hard
er and grow faster when it wakes up.

AN AMUSING GAME.
1t Is DoubIy Interesting Because the
Boys Can Make Each of Its
Various Parts.

Here is a game that you can play in
the house, out on the porch, or on the
ground.
Take n piece of board or plank 10 by
12 inches. Plane it on the sides and
edges and cut away the corners all
around one SIDE, Us shown in the draw
ing. Call that side the top and the
other side the bottom. See whether the
side which you choose FOR the bottom
is even so that the board will set well
on the floor. If the board is warped,
turn the hollow side down, so that the
edges and not the middle will rest on
the floor. If the board seems twisted
little, so that it will not set well, which
ever side is down, nail a block to one
side of the board at each corner. This
is a good way, even when the side of the
board is straight, for then the board
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1899-08-17

will set better on an uneven place on
the floor or ground.
At the center of the board bore a
hole an inch or an inch and quarter
IN diameter. Into this set a standard
reaching six or seven inches above the
board. Make the lower end of the
standard fit closely and trim around
the upper end. as shown in the drawing.
Paint or oil all over, including the bot
tom.
Next make the ring shown by the
drawing. The easiest way is to take
piece of rope a little longer than the
distance around the ring. Cut away
some of the strands at each end so that
you can overlap the ends and make the
same thickness as elsewhere. Wrap
and tie these overlapping ends with
string. Then wrap the entire ring
with strips of cloth.
In playing, throw the ring over the
standard, as horse shoes or quoits are
thrown. If two people play, use two
boards and several rings.
These soft rings make no noise and
are not apt to do harm where they hit
