Charlton In Cattle.

i This has been a bad year fol
our farmers, because the long
drouth has set back and stunted
the growth of the crops, but to
make matters worse the Charlton is
killing their horses, mules and
cattle, and there is now every rea-
son to fear that our friends in
the country will suffer serious
financial losses. The Charlton, how
ever has also made its appearance
in the Western states, and it is re-
ported that herds Of beef cattle are
afflicted with the disease in Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin, and a
large number Of animals have died.
1t is claimed that Charb ON is the
most ancient infectious disease that
Is known, aud according to such
good authority as the Live Stock
Joarnal, Moses, in his second book,
calls it the sixth plague of Egypt
It is described by Homer in the
first book of the Had aud Ovid in
ninth book Of his Metamorphoses
furnishes lengthy description of
the disease anu its effects.
In the majority OF cases Charlton
is of miasmatic origin, that is, the
spores Of Charlton exist in the soil.
The transmission from soil to ami
NAL may occur by cutaneons in ocu-
lations and IN few hours the
germs have multiplied so rapidly
IS to throw the afflicted animal into
4 violent fever.
1t is contended by veterncry sur
geons, however, that there is little
danger OF the consumers of beef
ontracting the disease, because ir
he first place all meat intended for
consumption is inspected, and Sec
'ndly the bacillus of Charlton acts
% rapidly that an infected animal
would hardly have time to 90 from
he farm to the slaughter house be-
ore symptoms Of the disease would
'e SO plainly developed that they
ould not escape attention. HUI
nan beings, however. have con-
racted the disease from handling
Infected animals.

June is probably the best month
of all for planting the South
crop, the COW pea. All varieties
may be planted for hay or for seed
or for turning under. July is also
a good month for planting the
early varieties like the whippoor-
will. Late kinds would not ma
ture planted so late. Every foot
of oat, rye or wheat land should be
planted in peas. Such treatment
will make the land as good for corn
next year as If MANFRED with stable
manure or cotton seed, and this
even if the vines are cut for hay
as they ought to be. Also put in
every vacant spot of poor land. II
you havn't seed enough to broad
cast the peas. put them in drills q
feet apart. Plant peas in the corn,
unless it be late thick corn on bot
tom land. Such even will keep
the peas shaded too much. If you
have rich wet pieces of land that
could not be planted early on ac-
count of water, plant sorghum. 1t
g q heavier yield than peas. Such
and will stand the heavy drain
made on it by the sorghum. But
lon't fail to plant thick so the
talks will be small aud platable. |
sarly varieties may be planted as
ate as August l.-Southern Farm

Cosr OF FEEDING Corn, Oars

out the cost of food for stock. To
feed ten head for one day, with .
Deck ut feed. would he about as
follows: Corn, s. 90; oats. 81 90;
roasted cotton seed 90c. 1t will
cost 81 10 less to feed ten head of

seed than oats. When II is re-
,uembered that there is more fat
and strength producing matter in
roasted cotton seed than either corn
or oats, the saving is easily dis
cernible.-Sugar Planters Journal.

Waters was fully as much enjoyed as
that of Miss Brehany. The violin SOL

Fresh evidence of the wearing away of
the rock on both sides of the gorge is
now to be seen. On the American side
between Rapids Views and the Old
Maid of the Mists landing, the destruc-
tive force of the elements Is seen.
Along the river, from the Battery Ele-
vator to the Whirlpool, large mass
of rock and earth is scattered at the
foot of the cliff. Some of the pieces of
rock are very large. On the Canadian
side, at several points between Clifton
and the Whirlpool, the same changes
are to be seen. Near the falls more
evidence is to be had. Table Rock
LOOKS as if it had los. a good-sized por-
ton during the winter, and the small
islands show decrease in size.

A REQUEST
And Demand for the Recount Of
Court House Vote.

A statement, request and demand
was handed to the Commissioners in
session at the Court House Tuesday,
signed ny Messrs. George o. IIildreth,
W. G. Way and Martin d. Follett, ask
ing that the County Commissioners
and Auditor duly open and count the
tickets cast on The Court House propo-
sfllon at The last November election,
which they allege has not been done.
1hey give a statement of the number
of votes cast at each precinct and give
che number of tickets that were found
in the ballob boxes that were not
counted. They call these votes. AT
ter giving all che numerous votes by
precincts, they go on to say that there
were S,957 votes cast at he election, and
that of these there were 1928 votes
not counted. That .nere were 3,SSS
votes counted for the proposition and
1888 votes counted against 1t. They
allege that there was not a majority
of the votes for the proposition, as
they claimed that there had to be
majority of the votes cast and count
ing the tickets that were found in the
boxes this was not the case.
This matter was pretty thoroughly
gone over at the zine of the last cleo
ton, and was settled at the time at
least that if a ticket were found in the
ballot box that could not be counted
either for or against the proposition,
that it could not be counted as a vote
and, therefore, the proposition having
fifty more votes that could be counted
for it than it had that could be count
ed against it, it had won.
They further request and demand
that the Auditor and County Commits
sloners open and count the votes as
shown on the poll books on file in the
Auditors office, and that they be pre-
served and unchanged as a record of
the vote of the election.
There is no reason set forth in the
request and demand" as to why ii is
made, but the supposnIon that 1t is a
move to stop the building of the struc-
ture on some location or other, if not
to stop it altogether
