koch's Researches on Malaria.
In the report just published on his
study Of malaria in Italy Professor
Koch says the Infection of malaria is
especially maintained and propagated
by the relapsing cases which continue
all the year round and form the Ink
between one fever season and the next.
SO that the mosquitoes in the beginning
Of summer always find germs. If no
relapse occurred in any Of the cases Of
malaria il any given district, the mos
quitoos woU.G ind 40 germs in the be-
ginning Of sumner, and malaria would
become extinct there. The professor
ascertaincd that the SO called acstivo-
autumnal fevers were identical with
tropical malaria.

The Honest Juror.
A man was on trial recently in a court
Of this city for grand larceny and con-
spiracy One day of the trial was rainy.
A reporter assigned TO the trial laid his
umbrella against the jury box, but it
picked it up.
''I'll put it in the jury box. 1t ought TO
be safe there, if anywhere" he said
When the court adjourned for the day,
the reporter looked in the jury box for
his umbrella, but it was not there. lie
sought out the court officer, who also
made a careful but unsuccessful search.
"One Of them jurymen's took it; no one
else" remarked the officer. IAN they re

The reporters umbrella was never re-
| turned, but the defendant was found gull
| ty and sentenced to seven years imprisr

| it and did not think the illegal possession
Of another's property disqualified him
from passing judgment in a case of theft.

FOR THE FARMER,
Stock Raising for Young Farmers.

Young men who are just start
ing in the business of farming
should make up their minds as to
what kind Of stock they will
handle, and should secure the best
of the kind that can be obtained,
for by so doing they are laying the
foundation for a fortune later on.
There is no money to be made in
raising scrub stock, says a cores
pendent of the Prairie Farmer
Suppose one man feeds bunch of
common steers and another a
bunch of high grades. 1t will take
the same amount of feed and per-
haps more for the scrub lot to pre-
pare the animals for market; then
when they are sold the market
will be from SOC to 81 higher in
favor of the high grade cattle, and
the owner of the scrub lot has lost
just that much, for the labor and
expense of raising the two lots
have been the same. Nor is that
all. The man who is satisfied to
handle poor stock never has any
thing that will induce a buyer to
offer fancy price for from the
fact that his cattle never attract
any attention. The cattle l would
advise the young farmer to handle
would be the shorthorns. They
are not only beef cattle, but they
are fair mixers and average but
ter makers. Their fine form and
beauty are attractive to the eyes
of buyers, But they must be well
taken care of. They must be pro-
vided with good shelter and not
allowed to run out in the stalk
fields all Winter. They must be
fed well to keep them in good con
dition. tEE
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1900-10-20
fall Feeding.

With all stock it is an item to
begin feeding early in the Fall at
least before the animals begin to
fail in condition. With all kinds
of stock at this time it is much
easier to maintain good thrift than
to let them run down when the
pasture gets short and then feed
up on dry feed.
On most farms where enough
stock is kept to consume nearly or
quite all that is grown on the
farm, it is hardly possible to store
all the feed under shelter. Gen
orally, if enough is grown to feed
all the stock through the Winter,
more or less must be stacked or
ricked up outside. In feeding, so
far as other conditions will admit,
it is best to begin feeding what is
stored outside first, keeping that
which is under shelter for Winter
and Spring.
Another item is that in the Fall
and early Winter, especially while
feeding the corn fodder, to feed it
in racks in the feed lots rather
than in the stables. Unless ar
ranged more conveniently than
the average it will be some trouble
not only to feed fodder in the
stables, but also to handle the ma
nure. While it is best always to
protect stock from cold and storms
it is also best not to confine them
too closely; and while it may be
necessary to begin feeding early
still, as long as the weather will
permit, it will be best to let them
run out, feeding enough to keep
them in good condition.

climate, but, no matter from which
source the seed is procured, 1t
should be cleaned before use in
order that no seeds of weeds or
imperfect grains may be used,
Experience has demonstrated that
where farmers have selected the
best heads and most perfect grains,
sowing such seed and again select
ing therefrom, for several years,
the yield has been largely increas-
ed. The wheat plant improves
rapidly by selection of seed. In
Belgium every seed is examined
with a magnifying glass on table
by women and children, only the
plumpest being used. The seeds
are then planted in rows and hoed
by hand. In this country such a
method would be regarded as a
very expensive one, but the Bel
gian farmer secures three times as
much wheat per acre as the Ameri-
can farmer. The average in this
country is about IS bushels per
acre, while in Belgium, it is AS
bushels, as much as 60 bushels per
acre occasioning no surprise.
Compared with our system the
Belgian farmer can afford to ex-
pend $40 per acre for labor and
then have twice as much profit as
is derived in the United States.
After a crop of wheat is drilled in
there is but little to do with it I'M
til harvest, but it is admitted that
if the land is properly prepared
the labor is an important item.
During those years when coun-
tries are at war prices are higher
than usual, and better prices may
exist next year than now, as the
wheat crop of 1900 was short,

The planting of waste land to
trees for timber is receiving more
attention than formerly. Farmers
who planted trees twenty years
ago now find that they then made
good investments. 1t is claimed
that cherry and hickory trees re-
quire about thirty years before
they are valuable for timber; maple
trees, twenty years, and black wal
nut, fifteen years. A black wal
nut tree is said to attain from Il to
IS inches in diameter in fifteen
years from the seed. Nuts are al
so source of profit with some

are favorable. Thus the pasture
may be a constant source of in
lection. To prevent this, the car
cass must be burned Immediately
or buried at least 6 feet under the
ground. Prof. A. 7. Peters, of
the Experiment Station, says the
only effective treatment of the
disease is the use of vaccine pre-
pared from the dried meat of the
muscles of the tumor of an animal
that has succumbed to the disease.

BIackleg In Cattle.

The symptoms of this disease
are lameness in leg, accompanied
by the development of tumor on
that limb. The tumor is filled
with gas and upon pressure a Pc
culiar cracking sound is produced.
The meat which this tumor affects
is black and the tumor itself con-
tains dark fluid. The disease is
caused by the introduction into
the system of germ known as ba-
cillus. The usual manner of in
lection is through a wound of the
skin or mucous membrane. The
germs do not pass out with the
excretions, hence the disease is
not communicable from animal to
animal. But if blackleg carcass
be skinned and the blood and
juices be allowed to enter the soil
or if such carcass be allowed to
decompose without being buried,
the germs from spores Ego to seed
and in this form may live in the
soil for many years, ready to be-

A Interesting hit Of War History.
We quote a. follows from . special
message Of Gov. John ]. Pettus to the
special session Of the Mississippi legis.
lature, convened January IS, 1851,
'Being advised by the governor of
Louisiana that he had reason to believe
that an expedition would be sent down
the Mississippi to reinforce the garri-
sons of the forts and arsenals of that
State, sent Capt. u. F.) Kerr with six
teen of the Jackson Artillery Company.
and ordered Capt. II. H. Miller to call
out the volunteer companies of vicks-
burg, and to take such position as
would enable him to prevent any hos
tile expedition from the Northern
States descending the river. Learning
that the forts and arsenals were fully
garrisoned by Louisiana, directed
Capt. Il. Il. Miller to withdraw his
forces from the positions they had
taken.
"As soon as was informed that the
governor of Louisiana had taken the
arsenal at Baton Rouge, sent Col. G..
G. Armstead with a letter to Gov.
Moore, requesting him to furnish
Mississippi with ten thousand stands OF
arms, on such terms as he might deem
Just. Col. Armstead informs me that
his exellency has responded to my re-
quest by ordering 5000 muskets, 1,ocC
rifles, and six twenty-four pound guns
with carriages, and considerable
amount of ammunition, TO be delivered
to him, which will be shipped to Missis
sippi as soon as possible.
"This act of friendship and confidence
from our sister State, hope will b'
fully appreciated and fully acknowl
edged by the legislature and people o
Mississippi"

cepted as a faithful likeness Of that
gallant and beloved Mississippian. As
a matter of fact, Col. Govan did pose
for the statue; but the sculptor. Capt.

Gov. Stone. The governor was not in
formed of this until after the unvciling,
when Capt. Whitehead presented Mrs.
