Four hundred British cavalry horses
in South Africa, it is said. have already
been shot, owing to the occurrence of
glanders. The disease is likely to
spread with much greater rapidity
among the British horses than among
the hardy boer ponies, and this may
mean a considerable prolongation of
the campaign. Horse sickness in
south Africa generally appears during
the latter part of January and lasts
three months. The present outbreak
is unusually early.

Commissioner of Agriculture Welt
Ing of New York, who was unable to
appear before the United States Indus
trial Committee to testify as to the
farming conditions in that state, has
written a letter to the commission in
which he says that the agricultural
pursuit in New York state is not as
profitable as it was from 1860 to 1875,
but that conditions are improving, and
to him it looks as though the year 1899
will be more profitable for the farmers
in this state than any preceding year.

ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors We're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of un-
digested food regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and OragniC
action Of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad

attraction. Among the fair features
will be Lionel Legare, phenomenal
equilibrist, originator and performer of
the biggest, strongest and most versa
tile equilibristlc gymnastic act in the
world. The spiral tower is the finest
and costliest ever constructed. 1t is
built of steel and aluminium and is a
big attraction in itself This is the
first season for this act In America
and is direct from the leading Euro
pean amusement resorts. Two per-
formances daily without charge. The
act can be seen from all parts of the
grounds.
Other attrastions on the Midway
are the following: Trained animal
show, the glass palace, miniature mid
way Indian museum, Mile. Christine,
the two-headed lady; gypsy camps, the
haunted swing. the crystal maze, etc.
The agricultural feature will be
much larger and finer than it was last
year. From present indications the
races will be highly interesting, and
the management expect at least 100
horses from different parts of the
United States. Everybody should
make it a point to attend the fair.
