Foot-and- Mouth disease in Uruguay.


Consul Swain OF Montevideo says
1t Is officially reported that the foot
and-mouth cattle disease has disap-
peared in all OF the departments OF the
Republic and that the herds are In the
very finest condi tion. In several Of the
departments the losses from this dis
ease were very heavy, but generally
the percentage Of deaths fell below 8
per cent. Save only thorough or
breeding stock, adds Mr.. Swain, the
herds Of Uruguay never know the COM
forts Of a shelter but as snoWSor frost
or sleet is very rare the exposure sell
dom results seriously. He continues:
The tick is more feared than anything
else, and where both the tick and the
fcot-and mouth disease are prevalent
the skinning knife is the only. remedy
applied.

wise Handling OF Claw soi,a.

Prof. Z. III. Bailey, IN his recent book.
Principles of Vegetable Gardening
says: Many people spend more time
and muscle on wet lands than are re-
uuired The one Important item, is
timeliness.. When the soil is betwixt
wet and dry, it breaks as it turns from
the pillow. Turn it UP loose and open.
Then let it lie for a few hours or a
day. AS the clods begin to dry work

this time with a lighter harrow. a
few timely workings when the soil is
just right will accomplish more than
thrice the labor at other times. MANY
people make the mistake OF .tiIling
their clay lands until they become too
fine. Then a rain packs and cements
them, and the trouble begins all over
again. Because sandy and loamy soils
are best when fine and mealy, people
think clays must be; but clay Is NOT
sand The addition Of humus enables
one to make a clay soil mealy.

BIrd Intelligence.

During a high wind one summer day a young oriole was thrown from It's nest to the ground. It was picked up by kind hands and kept in the house till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the closed blinds of window near by to 1ote proceedings on the part of the parent birds. They ln the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed 1t to the house. and, as 1t was kept near the open window. It's cries had apprlsed them of It's whereabouts. They soon came to 1t on the roof and hovere1 about lt. doing much talking and con. sulting together.
 Finally they alighted near the little one. and the female slipped her wing under it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male. who fidgeted about coming to the little one. spreading his wings over it. then ny ing to a tree. when the female followed him and brought him back and again slipped a wing under the little one.
 Finally he seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control. and. slipping his own wing under. together they made a sort of cradle for the bird ling. and. each Tapping its free wing. they flew to the tree. bearing it to a place of safety among the branches. where 1t was lost sight of.-Boston Christian Register

EEW YORK, August 14.-Trading at

sion houses reported an increase in out
side orders. Developments over night
did not shed much light on either the
crop or strike situation. and as the in
fiuences are rapidly losing their earlier
importance. bull traders resumed active
operations.
Traders met the rise with stock pur-
chased at lower prices early in the week
and the bears were disposed to sell the
market on account of it's pretty general
improvement since Mondays opening.
These offerings reduced. and in some
instances wiped out altogether the in
itial advances. Sugare which had start
ed off IA higher was depressed sharp
