Late Potatoes Making Good Growth

Late Potatoes Making Good Growth.
With the exception of a few import
ant districts, weather cOndi tiOnS have
continued generally propItious for the
POTATO CROP, and this has made good
progress the past week or ten days.
CENTRAL Wisconsin has had excessive
rains, but elsewhere through the I'M
portamt potato sections everything has
been favorable to crop growth and de-
ve,NopmenN. Good reports are Sent out
frOm Michigan, Minnesota, the DakO-
ltas, Nebraska and Kansas, while con
dltioms have changed for the better in
the middle amid New England states
THE CROP is 10y no means made, but
the outlook at present is generally en-
doulaging. Tlhis has tits influence, ON
with early Varieties and also with
more or LESS old stock, although the
Qnain crop will mott be available for
many weeks to come.

Pink Eye in Horses.

been manned pink eye by hOrSemen and
by doctors -''pne mO-enteric fever
and "epfeoOtIic celIulltfes,' under which
various heads 1T is described i'm VeteT-
inary textbooks. Ut REALTY is mo more
than the influenza in "a modified form,
i'm which the MOST prominent Symptom
lis the pink appearance of the covering
Of tine eye, termed the cOnjunct'lva anld
infilmntiOn of an eXudatiOn from the
small blood vessels into the celllllar
Tissues bemeath the skin around the
eyelids, giving that puffy appearance
so characteristic of pink eyes.
1lhe causes giving rise to pink eye
are the same as those producing SIM
Ole influenza. 1t is not confined to amy
climate or amy peldOd of the year, but
the MOST general period of it's develop
ment is the spring and autumn. 1t
does mott respect either sex on age, high
or low degree, but all are under it's
influence. Experience shows that
crowded stables with defective ventn-

and prepare the SYSTEMS of animals
for the reception of The seed OF dlsea's-
eIs. In such surroundings the disease
sDrealS in from six to mine days, pro-
ducing considerable trouble and anX-
iety.
Sometimes this form of Influenza is
very general. SO much so THAT some
writers have regarded it as a dGsltdndt
disease In the first stage the symp-
toms, besides those already mentioned,
include profllse watering of the eyes
and high temperature. The temper
allure rises to 105 or 106 degrees Far-
renhellt and the lungs and bowels are
Iiable to become seriously infected.
From thls comes the term 'pneumo-
enteliIc fever which is the better
name, for the term pink eye, on Gel

ifetItations, and, therefore, is mtslead-
ing. the internal manifestations being
MOST Important In robust aninIals
the lung fever often passes off easily,
While in weakly animals SERIOUS conn

Under careful numSing and proper
medical treatment pink eye cases run
their course and terminate in restOra-

by placing the animals in box stal1

a6E The secretary of agriculture has

s6- The secretary of agriculture has
about perfected a plan whereby grad
yates from agricultural colleges can
come to the department and do post
graduate work. Many of the agri
cultural colleges throughout the coun,
try are turning out every year good
men, who are often prevented from
continuing the valuable lines of special
work which they pursued while in
college through inability to continue
their studies. The secretary's plan,
which has received much careful
thought and consideration, will make
it possible for such young men to
spend a year or two IN Washington,
working under the direction of the
heads of scientific divisions. 1t is not
expected, says a correspondent of the
New York Sun, that they shall under
take any original work, but carry on
such investigations as may be assigned
to them. 1t is proposed to pay men OF
this kind a nominal salary, barely
enough to cover expenses, the pay be-
ing not so much to induce them to 60
to Washington as to afford an oppor-
tunity for deserving young students to
advance in the special fields they have
chosen while in college.

SANTIAGO FEVER SITUATIoN.-A
letter received Sunday by Will L.
Hale, of Nashville, Tenn, from his
son Charles, now in Santiago Cuba,
gives some insight into the yellow fever
situation there. He is an officer in the
Fifth United States infantry. The
letter says:
"Since wrote you last yellow fever
has broken out here. 1t carried oil
four members of the regimental band
in three days, and in two weeks we
have lost 81 men out of our regiment
Four of these were of company M, the
company to which I belong.
zone night at O'Clock the physician
made us get outside the barracks with
nothing on but the Cuban atmosphere
our guns, belts and 100 rounds of am
munition. He would not allow US to
carry rag out with us. The next
morning our company was divided
into small squads in charge of non.
commissioned officer aud scattered all
about the country"

HIS NOVEL POINT OF VIEW.

The young man was either an opti-
mist or the possessor of Harveyized
steel armor-plated nerve. Perhaps he
was little of both.
A short time ago he came to the con-
clusion that he would like to insure his
life. With this object in view he made
application to prominent company.
After filling out the necessary blank
he received an invitation to call upon
the medical officer of the company and
undergo the usual physical examina,
ton. In due course he presented him
self at the office of the examining
physician.
Requesting the young man to re-
move his coat and vest the doctor pro-
duced a stethoscope and began his ex'
animation. All at once he stopped
and regarded the candidate with an
expression of alarm.
"Young man." he said, edo you
think you can bear shock ?"
"Oh, 1 guess So" was the cheerful
respose. "Fire away and let me hear
the worst"
"You have only one lung!" an
nounced the doctor solemnly.
"WelI, what of that?" retorted the
candidate, with the utmost composure.
81 never told you had any more, did
-"
"What!" exc aimed the doctor, "do
you mean to say you were aware OF
your condition ?"
"Of course was. Do you suppose
a man could have only one lung with
out being aware of the fact ?"
"And yet" said the doctor, "you
apply to respectable company for a
policy of lie insurance. Do you ex-
pect to get it?"
81 certainly do. Not only that, but
1 think 1 ought to get it at substan-
tial reduction in the premium"

CHARGED TO COLONEL WRENNs S
CURE.--The death of H. B. Plant re.
calls quaint story which is told by a
newspaper correspondent well-known
in New Orleans. "Some years ago
was broke in New York ;" he said, "and
hearing that w. B. Wrenn, passenger
traffic manager of the Plant system,
was in town, 1 called on him and ask
ed for pass to Jacksonville. The
last time l called the clerk wouldn't
let me in, and handed me one of my
cards, on which Colonel Wrenn had
written, Keep this fellow out; if he
bothers me any more I'll 60 crazy"
That gave me an idea, and / made a
bee line for Mr.. Plants private Office.
MIR. Plant 1 said, Il want pass TO
Jacksonville, Fla The old gentle.
man looked at me in amazement. On
what grounds p he asked. In ex-
change for treating Colonel Wrenn for
threatened mental trouble 1 replied.
Mr.. Plants face clouded. what kind
of a game is this, sir?' he demanded,
sternly. Colonel Wrenn is perfectly
sane, sir, and I won't permit Par
don me- I interrupted; but Colonel
Wrenn is at this moment apprehensive
of lunacy, and believes firmly that it
rests entirely with me to avert the at
attack. 1 have his written statement
to that effect in my pocket Let me
see it Mr.. Plant fairly shrieked. 1
handed him the card and got ready to
run. AS he read the inscription his
face relaxed. His piercing gray eyes
began to twinkle. Finally he lay back
in his chair and roared with laughter.
Here, Mr.. Smith = he called to clerk,
give this young man transportation to
Jacksonville and charge it to medical
treatment for Colonel Wrenn.' "

HE WAS KIND, BUT SHE WAS
CLEvER.-She is clever woman, q
past master in the art of strategy. So
agree all who rode down on the street
car the other morning.
She got on a south bound Clark
street limits train at Belden avenue.
Every seat was taken, and almost
every strap had a man or woman sus-
pended from it. She looked about
hesitatingly for an instant, but every
man was wonderfully interested in his
paper. Then she took hold of a strap
almost in front of young man, very
young man, who was blushing guiltily
as he pretended to read.
While the young man blushed and
the woman thus hung her handker-
chief huttered, accidentally by all ap-
pearances, to the floor. The young
man looked up just then and saw the
white bit of cambria. The feeling OF
chivalry which he evidently was try
ing to stit1e would not be stifled longer.
He arose and stopped for the hand
kerchief. This was the woman's op-
portunity. While his back was turn
ed she gently slipped into his seat.
When he turned about and saw what
had occurred, he almost collapsed.
But the woman did not. She took her
handkerchief out of his hand, smiling
innocently.
"Thank you," she said sweetly,
"You are very kind. ."-Chicago Jour-
nal.

A COLD REBUFF.-To young man
who stood smoking cigar on a down
town corner the other day there ap
preached the elderly and impertinen1
reformer of immemorial legend.
Chow many cigars day do you
smoke?" asked the licensed meddlei
in other peoples affairs.
"Three," replied the youth as pa
tiently as he could.
Then the inquisition continued
"How much do you pay for them ?"
"Ten cents EACH" confessed the
young man.
"Don't you know, sir" continued
the sage, "that if you would save that
money by the time you are as old as
am you would own that big building
on the corner %
"Do you own it? ?" inquired the
smoker.
NO." replied the old man.
"Well, 1 do," said the young man.

THE TEXAS FLooDs.-A special OF
Saturday from Caldwell, Texas, says
Cotton buyers in the Brazos flood dis
trict report that not less than 200
square miles of cotton bearing land
has been flooded. Every acre of it
would have produced a big bale. Bas-
ing the loss on five cents figures, the
crop destroyed on these plantations
was worth almost $4,OO0,OO0. 1t is
claimed the flood has cost the people
of Texas little less than $4,000, 900.
Thousands of mules have been drown
ed, all of the domestic animals have
perished, and rented houses and Ne
gro quarters have been swept away.
The gins are nearly all ruined, and
hundreds of plantation stores, carrying
big stocks of general merchandise, are
