Ask Protection for nnr..

For some time past British entomol ogists, or bug hunters, have been cxer cised over the exteInlination of certain insects in consequence of the zeal O collectors, who roam over the countr. with butterfly nets. It would be diff cult to protect butterflies and moths by legislation, as has been done for birds so an association has been formed un der the auspices of the Entomologica society of London. The members agret to leave rare insects alone for awhile and to do all Ill their power to curb tn, sporting instinct in others. The insec' collector who abides by it will be more than human. Imagine a stamp collector agreeing not to pick up rare specimen from the roadside, yet similar temp tation will be met and have to be resist ed by the insect Chicago Chronicle

With a Purpose In View.

A good many farmers are going to breed mares this coming spring more than for many years. I wonder how many of them have clear idea as to what kind of a horse they are trying to produce. The farmer breeds horses for two purposes-for his own use and for the market. If any man prefers to use a scrub and to breed what he wants nobody can offer any reasonable objection. It's his funeral. But the whole breeding fraternity has a right to protest against the breeding of scrubs for market-and about every horse has market. First, because scrub stal- lion interferes with the opportunity for a good one to do a profitable business; and he must be profitable to his owner or he can not be availa- ble to breeders. And, second, be- cause every cheap or scrub horse lowers to some extent the market for a medium grade of horses, which will come no matter how high the breeder aims. Horse-breeding is not an exact science, and there is always chance of a mediocre animal from good mating. Enough of the kind will be produced in this way without the use of scrub sires.
 Let us have an object in breeding. Let us consider the purpose as care fully as in breeding for milk or for beef (and let us not. fail to realize that the stallion can't do it alD. A farmers boy, looking over a horse at a blacksmith-shop, pronounced it a nothing" He was right; the horse was a common one, useful to the man who bought him cheap, but profitless to the man who raised him. Are not too many of us working on the phi lanthropic plan of breeding moth ings" for somebody to pick up at mean prices? The way, and the only way, to avoid it is to breed omcthinS. Avoid extreme mixtures and work to- ward a certain purpose.-W. T. B., in National Stockman and Farmer.

Shipping Fruits.

Have all fruit and other crops gath cred as soon as ripe or sufficiently ripe to be shipped. Cool off before packing in crates or baskets, and see that the packages in which they are shipped are properly ventilated. Sort and grade carefully when packing and mark each package with the grade, and let the contents strictly conform to the marking. This will secure a reputation for reliability, and will sell products for the best prices when markets are glutted.-Farmers Home Journal

BONES OF A
BRITISH SPY
Opening of a Grave Recalls An
Event of the Revo.
luton.

CHESTER, N Y, Aug. t27.-The finding
at Hurley of what is believed to be part
of the skeleton of Lieutenant Daniel
Taylor, who was hanged as a British spy
at that place in 17T, recalls an interest
ing incident of the Revolution. 1t was
first recorded by Losing in his Field
Book of the Revolution as it was relat-
ed to him by Major Bartlett at Little
Britain, in this county, in 1850. The Maj
or was a survivor of the Revolution and
then nearly ninety.
1t happened in October, UT, when Gov.
George Clnton's command was encamped
at Little Britain, and the British Cen
eral Clinton was endeavoring to make a
junction with Burgoyne and relieve that
officers desperate straits. On the night
of October 10, 1777, as the story goes,
Lieutenant Brown of the American
Army, captured within the lines sus-
picious person, who proved to be Lieuten-
ant Daniel Taylor of the enemy's forces
Taylor was taken before Governor Gin
ton, whose name had deceived him into
thinking he was in the hands of friends.
When he discovered his mistake he
quickly removed some object from his
pocket, placed it in his mouth and swal-
lowed it.
This aroused the suspicion of Governor
Clinton, who ordered powerful emetc
to be forced into the British officers
stomach, the effect of which was the re-
| appearance of the swallowed object 1t
was found to be a silver globe, evidently
/ hollow The removal of a screw permit
| ted it to separate into two parts, within
which a piece of paper, folded up into
| small compass. was discovered. This
paper was a message of Importance from
General Clinton to General Burgoyne.
Lieutenant Taylor was tried by court
martial and condemned to be hanged as
| a spy. The order came to Governor Gin
| ton just at that time to move against
| the British, who We're at Kingston, and
this movement postponed the hanging of
the British Lieutenant. When Clinton's
command arrived at Kingston, October
| 16, 1777 the British had burned that place
and jretreated to Rondout where they
embarked in their ships on the Hudson.
The American forces went into camp at
Hurley, and there, on October is, the
condemned spy was hanged
For many years after the ReVolution
! and until date within the memory OF
many still living Whereabouts, the tree
upon which Lieutenant Taylor was hang
ed stood at Hurley, and was known as
the Spy Tree, although few knew why.
That the unfortunate officer was buried
beneath the tree on which he was hang
ed, had been entirely forgotten until the
finding Of the bones the other day by
laborers excavating on the Elenviiie and
Kingston Railroad at Hurley. Then the
tradition was revived by a Kingston an
tiquarian.

PRINT CLOTH AND POLITICS.
A New Wrinkle for American Elk
port Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-In Paraguay
the women and children show their
active political sympathies by wearing
the colors of their parties
eff American manufacturers sell
their print cloths to the people of
Paraguay they must furnish goods
with either a red or blue base John N.
Ruffin, United States Consul at Asun-
cion, Paraguay, explained in an inter-
view last night. Mr.. Ruffin is arranging
to return to his post in about two weeks.
He has been the consul at Asuncion for
five years, and has spent many more
years in South America.
There are two leading political par
ties in Paraguay. the Colorados and the
Azuls,' he continued. THE color of the
Colorados is red and of the Azuls, blue.
The party in power now is the Colo
RADIOS, or we'll might be properly called
the Liberals. The intense partisanship
of every man, woman and child is
simply astonishing. A member of the
Red party would no more allow ms
wife or children to wear clothing IN
which the predominating color was blue
than he would vote the Blue ticket
himself. The Blues are the same way
and as result the party's colors have
had a distinct action in the colors OF
the clothing of the people. feel that
American print cloth manufacturers
ought to know this in order that they
may be guided in the patterns they
ship to Paraguay"
fI,a
Mr.. Ruffin is enthusiastic over the
future possibilities of Paraguay, and Is
anxious to aid in developing trade be-
tween that country and the United
States. He says the present great bar
rier to trade is the lack of direct steam
ships between the United States ana
Paraguay and the other South Amerl-
can countries.

RATS AND The
BUBONIC PLAGUE
DR.. Rosenau's Test Of a Disease
for Exterminatins
Rodents.

NEW YORK, Aug. N.-Since it became
spread by rats, the question of means
of destroying them has assumed greater
proportions. The discovery of perfect
rat destroyer would be of vast benefit to
the public health.
NJ. j. Rosenau, director of the Hygienic
Laboratory of the United States Marine
Hospital Service, has recently investi-
gated a new method for destroying rats
by means of cultures of a certain bacil-
lus. This method was developed by J.
Danyz The virus which he obtained
while far from being a certain means of
exterminating rats in a particular place,
may be used as one weapon in the fight
against them.
A culture of a bacillus isolated from
a spontaneous epidemic among harvest
mice was selected and grown in bouil-
Ion to accuStom ii to an existence with
out oxygen. This was accomplished by
growing the culture in TASKS as COM
pletely filled as possible. The TASKS were
placed in an incubator until the culture
developed and then kept at an ordinary
temperature until a deposit formed and
| the bouillon became perfectly clear.
| into a collodion sack which was kept for
| from a day to day and half in the abb
dominal cavity of a rat, then kept anew
| in ordinary bouillon and thence again in
| TASKS. This series of operations was re-
peated several times, and at the fourth
or fifth repetition decided increase in
virulence for mice was noted.
| Mice were then replaced in the expert
mentS by young rats month or six
| weeks old. Next older rats were used.
Proceeding in this way the culture was
| specialized and Danyz finally succeeded
| in rendering it regularly virulent for
gray rats, black rats and white rats,
! whereas it was originally only slightly
vrulent for the gray rats and entirely
| ineffective for the others.
DR.. RoSenau fed 115 rats with the Gull
lures during course of various expert
ments with the virus. OF these only for
tv-six died. The results seem to depend
| largely upon the amount of culture in
gested BY starving the rats for couple
| of days and then giving them all they
would eat very positive result was OBJ
| tanned Twenty-seven rats so fed all died
| within week If the rats get only a
| small amount, however, not only is the
| effect uncertain but the survivors be-
come immune, and can feed upon the
| cultures to their hearts content and ne
none the worse for it.
| 1t would seem that the virus is not I'M
like the laying out of a chemical poison,
depending as it does upon the amount
ingested. But, while the chemical poison
has the advantage of not producing an
immunity the virus has the very de-
cided advantage of being, so far as is
known, harmless for man and domestic
animals
