Co-operattye Dairy Work.

Cooperative dairy work among the
farmers of certain western and north
western states has made great progress
within a decade. The movement has
made "a most rapid progress in the
states of Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa
and Illinois. Dairy farmers in other
states have been testing 1t and as the
advantages Of the system become more
widely appreciated and slight chance
Of failure, when sound business prin-
ciples are followed, because more APP
parent, wider areas will be covered.
Exact data are not available as to the
number of cooperative ereameries in
the western dairy districts, nor are
official figures obtainable to show the
output and the value of the product,
but, speaking broadly. the volume of
business transacted in the year 1898
was upward of $30,000,000.

what they call 'consumptive COM
petition out on the Pacific coast has
certainly become a grave problem"
said a visitor from California at one
of the New Orleans hotels to Times
Democrat man. From San Francisco
to Los Angeles the country is simply
overrun with one-lunged individuals
who have emigrated from the east TO
save funeral expenses and are willing
to work for anything that will keep
them alive. The trouble is that most
of them are so distressingly competent.
1 know men who held positions at
their old homes that paid them $4,000
a year, who are willing and anxious to
go to work for S. week. OF course,
the services of such chaps are IN de-
mand, and they are rapidly filling all
the good Jobs to the exclusion OF
healthy natives. l was talking to the
proprietor of one of the largest hotels
in Frisco the other day, and he was
boasting about his crack Office force.
There's my head bookkeeper,' he said,
he used to be general secretary OF the
'Steenta Avenue Street railway In New
York. and Is one of the finest actuaries
in the United States. My chief clerk
was formerly manager OF the Victoria

know he replied, the bookkeeper gets
SIS q month and the clerk $40. or
course he added, that includes board
Without exaggeration, that's a fair
sample. To be sure, the average con-
sumptive doesn't last very long, but
another Is always ready to take his
place, and the way those who are unem-
ployed size up the incumbents of good
positions and calculate their chances
of holding on is somewhat horrifying
to an outsider They will chaff one
another about it. too. l was in big
dry goods store recently when a hol-
low-cheeked gentleman sauntered up
to one of the department managers
and asked him how he was feeling.
Having night sweats, eh?' he said;
then l suppose 1 can take hold here
about October. But don't hurry on my
account. Take your time, old man;

competition was really behind the late
effort to have bill passed restricting

a bluff. 1t was matter of cheap labor

Boston Terminal company, poking
about among the switches with what
appears to be simple iron rod, from
which comes sound like the kissing

yard, who lives to tell the tale, sees
some very interesting illustrations of
the uses to which high-pressure air

Bla ckleg In Nebraska.

The Division of Animal Pathology
Of the Nebraska Experiment Station
of the University Of Nebraska has
been busy since the first Of the year
in the distribution of the blackleg vac
cine, in which 1t is cooperating with
the Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agricll-
ture. The increase in the dstri5u-
ton is shown in the fact that during
the year 1899 the division furnished
blackleg vaccine to 203 applicants in
fifty-six counties, the total number of
doses being 23,256. Since the LIST Of
January, 1900, the division has fur
nished the vaccine to 211 applicants in
forty-seven counties, the number of
doses aggregating $4,000. In the cor
responding period of 1899 twenty-three
applicants received 1900 doses, or one
tenth as much as the present season.
This greater demand for vaccine is due
rather to an increased knowledge Of
and confidence in the remedy than to
an increase in the prevalence Of the
disease.
The records show that the calls
have come from persons that used the
vaccine last year and from their neigh
bors. The reports Of the applicants
show that it has reduced the mortality,
absolute satisfaction having been CIV
en- In over Sc per cent of the cases.
This work is being taken up very en-
Enthusiastically by farmers and stock
men over the state. 1t has been one
OF the very important subjects that
have been discussed at farmers insti-
tutes by this division of the station.
The division at these institutes ex-
planned the process Of the manufac-
ture Of the vaccine and how it is ap-
piled. There is now ready for publ
cation by the station a bulletin which
treats on the subject in popular way,
dealing with the age and species OF
animals attacked, the cause of the dis
csse, disposition Of the blackleg car
cass, symptoms, post-mortem appear
ances, methods of treatment, and a
full discussion OF what is regarded as
the only reliable and economical meth
cd, vaccination.

ans, which, on the maps, is usually
called Fort Kenai, for the reason that
United States troops were stationed
there for a few years after the pur-
chase of Alaska from Russia.
In taking up the work the depart
ment Of agriculture got together seeds
of nearly everything in the way OF
garden and field crops that might be
expected to grow in Alaska. Some of
the seeds were obtained from Norway,
Sweden and other parts of the world
where climatic conditions are not I'M
like those of the territory; others
were got from northern experiment
stations, in Minnesota, Wyoming and
Montana-especially the seeds OF
hardy varieties of grains.
AS soon as the stations were located
experimental plats covering several
acres were laid out and sown with the
various kinds of seeds, and incidental
ly beginning was made in the study
of the prospects for rearing domestic
animals. At present there are practi-

the changing of the tariff from the

I'm not alone in this" Simpson was
vociferating one afternoon; there are
many members who share the same
views l have. My learned and dlstin-
guished friend from Texas, Mr.. Bailey,
fully agrees with me-" Mr.. Bailey who
detested Simpson, arose and said.
sharply: II object to being cited as an
authority. I do not agree with the

from Texas should not make an unrea-
sonable request Of the gentleman from

A circular from the department OF
agriculture says: Smooth bronze
(bromus inermis) has been known In
Europe for over $50 years. The early
agriculturists did not consider it Of
any value because of its creeping root
stocks, thus resembling couch grass.
In 1884. however, Stebler and Shroeter
demonstrated by experiments con-
Quoted for thirty years at Magocs,
Hungary. that it had the power to
Withstand long periods of drouth when
all other grasses succumbed. These
experiments resulted in introducing the
grass into cultivation in Hungary,
where it still retains the name of Hun
garian brome-grass. Its introduction
into the United States must have taken
place about the same time, for We find
the seed is offered for distribution in
Bulletin % of the California Expert
ment Station, issued Nov. s, 1884, and
the statement made that ''our ex-
perience indicates that it will do well
here either with or without irrigation"
Since then the experiment stations OF
Colorado, Minnesota, Manitoba, North
Dakota, South Dakota and the differ
ent grass stations of the agricultural
department, Washington, d. c., have
conducted extensive experiments and
all speak Of it in the highest terms.
Smooth brome-grass is native Of
Europe and Asia, ranging from France
eastward to Siberia, growing along
roadsides, river banks, borders of fields
and woods, and upon sterile hillsides
and pastures. 1t Is a vigorous, hardy
perennial with strong, creeping root
stocks, smooth, upright, leafy stems.
one to four feet high, and loose, open
panicles, or seed heads" four to eight
inches long. In a few years it forms a
very tough sod, soon crowding out
other grasses, clovers and weeds. Its
remarkable drouth-resisting qualities
have proved it to be the most valuable
grass for dry regions where other
grasses could hardly exist.
AS it is thoroughly permanent and
grows with wonderful rapidity, pro-
ducing heavy crops and luxuriant pas
ture, its value to the farmers Of dry
regions cannot be estimated All
kinds of stock eat 1t with relish and
the chemical analyses made show that
it Is rich in flesh-forming ingredients,
much more so than timothy. 1t is
very hardy and not injured by severe
spring and fall frosts when once es-
