A Government report says: 1t has
been claimed that breed influences the
character and distribution of CHAMBERS,
but this is probably indirectly. Some
say that Emphatic draft-horses suffer
more severely, but in central Illinois.
much devoted to breeding high-class,
heavy-draft stock, the disease appeared
far less, and of milder type, in them
than in other breeds. 1t appeared to
be especially the disease Of the poor
mans horse. The better classes own
ed the more valuable draft stock, and
if one were ailing, the nature of the
malady was learned by employing a
veterinarian, and proper action taken,
or the diseased animal was sold or
battered at low figure to the poorer
neighbor, and the disease, with the aid
of unsanitary surroundings, commun-
icated to his inferior animals. Today
we find CHAMBERS most prevalent in
those sections Of our country where it
runs the mildest course, shows the
greatest tendency to recover, and is the
least contagious. In such localities, at
present, we find the most and the
cheapest horses. The mild cases are
difficult of diagnosis, and stock-own-
ers cannot be Convinced of the char
acter of the disease. In the Rocky
Mountain region the vast herds OF
wild horses cannot be satisfactorily in
spected, and the mallein test in these
is out of the question, so that the mild
ly-diseased animals cannot be detected.
Owners have been taught to believe
that CHAMBERS is uniformly and rapid
ly fatal, hence take no alarm from
feeble nasal discharge, which disap-
pears at some seasons of the year, the
animal continuing in good general
health and performing good labor year
after year. Many owners are, in their
own mind, competent judges of the
matter. and relate how much they saw
of it during the war, but are not aware
that they only saw acute cases, and
failed to note the mild cases, which,
taken from the army and sold, scat
tered seed, the fruit of which we are
still harvesting.

boys at the school. Judge Gillett says
that Mr. Quarles was considered one
of the brightest scholars in the school
and was invariably called on by the
teacher to speak piece for the benefit
of the board when it visited the school.
Even at that early date the "Quarles
boy" as he was called, showed remark
able natural ability as speaker and
it was freely prophesied through that
gift that he would some day make his
mark in the world.
At the time of Judge Gillett's ar
rival in Kenosha the city had just
experienced reaction from the
wheat war which eliminated in
breaking up the grain trade
and resulted disastrously to the
commercial interests of the city. AS
an example Of the depression in real
estate at that time, Mr.. Gillett tells Of
a lot he bought in the west end Of
town and on which he paid taxes for
thirty years, disposing Of it at the end
OF that time for exactly what he paid
for it.

"A Cheap Substitute for Paris Green.
Objections to Paris Green.-Paris
green Is good insecticide, but is
somewhat troublesome to use In liquid
form as it does not dissolve readily,
and needs constant agitation to keep

at all the distribution is not uniform,
and injury is likely to result to the
foliage of some plants, while the in
sects on other plants escape. More
over, it is unduly expensive, whether
used dry or In the form of spray.

about one-third as much as Paris green

How to Prepare the Arsenic OF
Soda.-Dissolve two pounds OF COM
mercial white arsenic and four pounds
of carbonate of soda (washing soda)
In two gallons of water and use one
and one-half pints to barrel OF Bor-
deaux mixture $50 gallons). The cas-
lest way to make the solution Is to put
both the white arsenic and carbonate

and keep boiling about fifteen minutes,
or until a clear liquid is formed, and
then dilute to two gallons.
How Much to Use.-One and one

to use when spraying for potato blight

with snow. Then come Hyacinths, Tu-

enjoyment in watching Perennials,
from the first tiny green points push
ing through the brown earth, to their
perfect Towering.
Most of these Perennials can be
raised from seed. If started early, In
