Growers claim that one Of the worst
features is that the insect carries the
spores Of the cabbage rot from plant
to plant. In our first illustration we
show the effect Of the work of the
curculfo. The beetle lays its egg In
puncture made in the stalk. The grub
that matches from it bores its way
through the stalk as shown and causes
1T to wilt. In our second Illustration Is
shown the beetle in his various forms.
The length Of the beetle, 1t must be re-
membered. is only about one-eighth
inch.
The entire body Of the hibernated
specimens Is covered with a light-gray
vestiture consisting Of piliform scales,
while newly bred individuals are coat
ed with oehrous scales. The real color
below the scaly covering is black, and
the older individuals appear leaden-4
gray in color, and the fresher ones
fulvous. Such a difference in coiora-2
ton imparts to the insect quite dis
tinct appearance.

Blackleg In cattle also goes ander the
names of symptomatio anthrax and

many years confounded with anthrax,
and it was only found after careIuA
research that 1t differed In great
many ways from that disease. Espe-
eially in its contagious nature ls tne
distinction marked, for Of animals
other than cattle only sheep and goats
are susceptible and these slightly. Inc
symptoms Of the disease are famiilar

Y in a front or hind leg, accompanied Dy
the development Of a tumor on thas
limb. This tumOr is filed with gas,
and upon pressure a peculiar crack
ling sound is produced. Inc meat ssNa
which this tnulor affects is black, and
the tumor itself contains a dark nuid.
Blackleg is caused by the introdnction
into the system Of q germ known az
the blackleg bacillus The usual man
ner Of infection Is through wound
Of the skin or mucous membrane. : ny
germs do not pass gu. with the eA-
cretions, hence the disease IS not COM
municable from animal to animal But
if a blackleg carcass be skinned q ana
the blood and juices be allowed 60 en-
ter the soil or if such a carcass Do
allowed to decompose without pelng
buried, the germs form spores, OF ~
to seed and in this form may 1--we ~

gin life anew as soon as conditions are
favorable. Thus the pasture may pe

Immediately, or buried at least s1x
feet under the ground There nave
been many treatments advocated ZOE
this disease. The most common are
roweIling and the use OF setons, Inese
are alike utterly worthless. \
Within the last five years there mas
been introduced a vaccine prepared I
from the dried meat OF the muscles OF
the tumor Of an animal that has suc-s
cumbed to the disease. This IS the
only practical method at command AZ
present for combating the disease cas- i i
the animal is exposed to Infection. ]

TINE HAHpsoMrsr MONUMENT,

Murray d Thomas have just erected a
granite monument for w. II. Tilton in
Mt. Olivet Cemetery which is by far the
handsomest one there; and Mr.. Tilton,
upon comparing it with others, is will
ing to certify that he got both bargain
and q beauty.
Both Murray and Thomas are prac-
tical men, doing all that two men can
possibly do of their own work, employ
ing none but the best to help them and
giving all work their personal snpervi-
sion. They buy from the largest whole
sale and importing houses in the coun-
try, and feel they can, for the same
class of work, give better prices than
any one in this part of the country, not
having any representative, or in other
words agents, to pay a commission,
thereby saving an enormous expense.
AS matter of comparison with others
they wish to say that they are kept busy
all the time without the solicitation of
agents or the writing of soliciting let
tiers.
If you are needing anything in the
monumental line, either in granite or
marble, they take this opportunity of
saying that il you will let them know
of same they will be pleased to call on
and give you the benefit of a practical
experience of over thirty years.

PUGH AT SARDIS.
A Large Gathering to Hear Pres
ent and Next Congressman.

Hon. S. j. Pugh addressed an audi
ence estimated at between 400 and 500
people at Sardis Thursday. The
speaker was introduced by Mr.. Robert
M. Marshall, a Democrat of the old
school, who in short but strong and
pointed speech announced his purpose
of acting with the Republicans, and
implored his friends to do likewise.
He was frequently applauded.
At the conclusion Mr.. Pugh arose
and for one and one-half hours held the
closest attention of the crowd while in
a mastery effort he discussed the is
sues, National, state, etc. The speech
was replete with wit, humor and
pathos and will win votes for the
ticket.
There were many old veterans pres
ent and it is sincerely hoped that all
such will cast their vote on November
9th for that true and tried friend of the
soldier, and of all mankind, the Chris
tian gentleman, Hon. s. j. Pugh.

LARGER BALLOT BOXES.
Will Not Be Required Under the
Law Now in Force.

FRANKFORT, KY, October 24th.-That
clause in the new Election Law which
is now in force providing that all the
ballots shall be counted, rolled up, the
bundle sealed, and placed in the ballot
box is liable to cause some confusion
for the reason that when the ballots are
rolled up they make such big bundle
1t cannot be put into the openings in
the ballot-boXes now in use all over the
state. The Sheriff of this county has
ordered new boxes with openings large
enough to admit the big roll of ballots.
Unless other Sheriffs do likewise at
once the ballots cannot be put in the
boxes when the polls close on Novem-
Der 9th, and the plain provision of the
law will be violated and the vote of
each Precinct made liable to be thrown
out because of the illegality.
The Goebel papers-The Bulletin in
cluded-are publishing the foregoing
''rot."
There are no such requirements as to
"rolling up" the ballots and stutfing
them through the opening in the ballot
box.
Section 10 of the amended law says
after the ballots have been counted
they shall be strung on string pro-
around each way with the string upon
which they are strung, tied in hard
bow knot and the knot sealed with
sealing wax. Then the ballots are to
be placed in the large linen envelope
provided by the County Clerk, the
envelope sealed and the election Off
GERS shall write their names across the
seal, and then the envelope shall be
further sealed with hot sealing wax and
the precinct election seal, after which
the envelope shall be "placed in the
ballot-box"-not stuffed through the
opening-and the ballot-box shall then
be securely locked with the two locks,
and the keys given in charge of the
Judge of the precinct who is of the OPP
posite political faith to that of the pre-
cinct Sheriff. Then the Sheriff takes
charge of the ballot-box. Within two
days after the election the Judge hold
ing the keys shall accompany the
Sheriff to the County Clerks office,
when the County Clerk shall unlock the
ballot-box and see that the ballots, &c,
are In 1t and properly sealed, and II
they are he shall give receipt to both
the Judge and the Sheriff for the box
and its contents. The Clerk then gives
to the Judge and the Sheriff each key
to the box, and II at the end of six
months there is no contest over the
election, they shall return the keys to
the County Clerk and he shall open the
ballot-box and destroy the ballots.
That's the law.
