WRANGLING ABOUT
ANTI-TOXINE VIRUS
The Doctors Are Trying to Fix Respon-
sibility for Bad Results.
(By Associated Press.)

10Y ASSOcldleU freSS.)
New York, Dec. 10.-Dr. w. r. Inge
Dalton. at meeting Of the society Of
medical Jurisprudence, held last night,
attacked the system employed by the
board Of health in the manufacture and
distribution OF anti-toxin serum and
vaccine virus.
In noting the recent deaths In CAM
den. st. Louis and other cities from
tetanus or lockjaw, Dr. Dalton tried to
fix the responsibility therefor. His paper
entitled "Commetcialism and Re-
sponsibility in Connection with Anti
toxin and Vaccine Virus" precipitated
an animated discussion in the course OF
which the New York city government
was assailed and defended and DR.. Love,
formerly Of st. Louis. denounced the au-
thorties Of that city for vaccination
methods in unmeasured terms.
The action of the state authorities in
providing for the inspection Of the serum
and virus by the board of health was
Endorsed and members Of the society
who are members OF the bar associa-
ton expressed the opinion that to safe
guard the public health a revision Of

carriers and 10 were employed in minor
positions in the postal service.
The total number of postofi.ce burglars
arrested was 1927, and the remainder of
979 were persons in no wise connected
with the postal service.
OF these cases 1892 were disposed of in
the United States courts, resulting In 634
convictions; died awaiting trial. for
feited bail, escaped from custody, while
IS were acquitted.
In 30 cases proceedings were dismissed,
1870 were discharged on preliminary ex-
animation, and Ill were discharged by
the grand jury, leaving 461 cases pending
in United States courts on July !, 1871.
Seventy-seven cases were disposed Of In
state courts, resulting in IS convictions
and u acquittals, leaving Al cases await
ing trial at the close of the year.
Collections Of Money Due.
One of the important duties devolving
upon inspectors is that of collecting bal
ances due from postmasters, penalty for
violations. amounts recovered on account
of the fraudulent use of the mails and
collections of amounts illegally received
by postmasters through false returns OF
cancellations, as well as collections IN
case Of robberies of postoffices wrecking
of mail trains, highway robbery OF mail
stages and moneys received on account
of loss in the ordinary and registered
mails attributable to carelessness or accl-
dent or larceny.
The sum collected by inspectors In TINS
connection during the year aggregated
1881, 4S5 20, to which must be added the
sum of $553O.47, brought forward from the
previous fiscal year. making the total
collections to be accounted for reach the
sum of 1886 966.17.
or this amount $3S6S23.46 was dis
bursed, leaving a balance of $147,H on
hand at the end of the year.
These figures illustrate in single
phase that the effectiveness of the 1nspec'
tors equaled two-thirds of the amouh'
appropriated by congress for the'r nl'lil'
tenanee during the last year.

Following il the reply of the stewards,
just received from London:
In reply to your letter, 1 am directed
by the stewards Of the Jockey club to
inform you that, after careful consd-
era ton of the circumstances, they see
no grounds for re-opening your case.
They have, therefore. nothing to add to
the notice published in the racing cal

The stewards regret that there should
have been some delay IN replying, but
it was caused by the absence abroad of

Emory Smith, postmaster general by j.

Many Inspectors Employed.
During the fiscal year larger number
of postoffice inspectors were employed
than during any other year in the his
tory of the postal service. Numerous
Irregularities We're discovered in remote
country postofflces, which the inspectors
were unable to reach in former years.
In some instances frauds were de-
lected from dishonest officials which
would not have been discovered had it
not been for the unusual vigilance re-
quired of the inspectors force during
the year.
Certain kinds of crime against the
postal laws seem to be on the increase,
such as the burglarizng of postottices
and the robbery Of mail boxes.
While a greater number of arrests
have been made and more convictions
had Of such offenders against the law
during the past year than during the
preceding year, yet there was not a
sufficient number of inspectors to cope
with the persistent industry of this class
Of criminals.
The duties performed by postoffice in
spectors embrace wide scope and are
of great Importance to the welfare and

POULTRY ON THE FARM.
Description of House Built for Get
ting the Best Results with q
Minimum of Labor.

At the New York farmers institutes,
Mr.. c. E. Chapman, in his address on
Poultry On Fruit Farm" described
his henhouse, built for getting the
hest results with a minimum amount
of labor. Mr.. Chapman thinks, that
for the average farmer, whose time is
nearly all required for doing his farm
work, if he keeps hens, he should have
the arrangement of the henhouse such
as to make the work of caring for the
lens as easy as possible, and do it in
Il way that will make the business prof
table. He does not want platforms
under the perches which have to be, or
should be, cleaned every day, or any
Elaborate or costly fixtures in the hen
house.
AS shown by the cut, he simply hangs
he perches to the rafters by wires,

illed with dry soil, or road dust, in
which the droppings fall.
By stirring occasionally, the hen ma
lure is mixed with the soil, and when
here is sufficient manure mixed with
the soil for the purpose for which it is
wanted, the box can be drawn to the
yarden or field. The manure being
mixed with the soil in this way, it is
lust right to use as a fertilizer, and
there is no loss.
Two or three sets of poles for
perches are used, so they can be fire.
quently changed, carrying them out
Of doors when they become infested
with lice. There is nothing in the
house but what can be quickly and
easily removed when it is to be
cleaned. His plan of feeding, is to feed
in the morning, small grain in litter,
that will keep the hens scratching I'M
til later in the day, when there is time
to prepare the mash of grain and
vegetables. These methods may not
be the best for all, but for the busy
farmer, they simplify, and make the
work of caring for the hens consider
ably easier.
Mr.. Chapman's advice to farmers
who are thinking of engaging more ex-
tensively in poultry keeping, is to be-
gin with the small flock they have,
keep account of them for one year
and see if they can make them pay a
profit. The average hen in New York
lays only about 60 eggs in a year. By
keeping thoroughbreds of the best
laying breeds, then by breeding only
from the best layers, you can get hens
that will lay 200 eggs in year. "Be
sure that your eggs are fresh, and
clean, then try to sell direct to the con-
sumner. In my experience, 1 have
found the white leghorns the most
profitable breed"
Mr.. Chapman also gave some points
in growing turkeys on the farm. He
said that if you would feed them all
the grain they would eat, they would
not eat the grain, or other crops grow
ing on the farm, but will only eat the
insects. Keep turkeys in this way, and
they will not trouble your neighbors,
and they will be a source of consider
able revenue.-W. III. Jenkins, in Ohio

IMPROVING POOR LAND.
Wisconsin FarmeH Describes n Sys-
tenn Which He Has Tried with
Great Success.

The best crop we ever had to i'm
prove poor field or sun-dried OF
sun-balsed one was cowpeas. We
sowed the land to peas early in the
spring. When they were ripe We
turned in lot of hogs. AS soon as
they had picked all the peas we
plowed the ground and let it lie until
September Is, when we sowed it to
rye. In the next spring we sowed
clover. The rye was a good crop.
and after it was removed we had
fine stand of clover. When this field
is broken up and put to corn we are
certain of a good crop. The above is
the best method to improve poor and
noxious weed-infected land. Sum
baked land is caused by too wet cult
Walton or by letting stock run on it
when wet. 1t is very hard to get it
in good order again. There is moth
ing better than cowpeas for this, for
they give plenty of shade to the land
They should be followed by clover,
which is a great soil improver and
makes splendid hay and the very best
pasture in the fall for cattle, putting
them in good order for winter when
they have to be fed on dry feed. Kept
in a good warm barn, however, the
cows give plenty of milk all winter.
In the day time we turn them out in
the stalk field except in billiards. or on
very cold days, when we keep them
out jus:. long enough to water them
and to clean out the barn. We tie all
the cows with chains, American pat
tern. These give them more exercise
than any other method of tying. The
more stock is sheltered during the
winter the less feed they take and the
better they look. 1t is the most eco
nomical method.-Theodore Bischoff,
in Prairie Farmer.
