THINKS IT WILL PAY.
Secretary Wilson Is Anxious to Re-
vive Interest I'm the Cultivation
of Silk Worms.

Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment of agriculture, is determined to
revive interest in the cultivation of
silkworms and mulberry trees in the
United States, and the sum of $4,000,
which he has asked congress to give
him to develop silk culture in the Unit
ed States for preliminary test and
investigation, will be spent with
view of interesting every man and
woman in the country who has some
spare time for the work in the plant
ing of mulberry trees and the care of
silk worms.
If the appropriation asked for is
granted Secretary Wilson will turn his
attention first to the south, on ac-
count of the large amount of cheap
labor to be procured there. If the
results in the south are at all salts
factory then the men, women, and
even the children will be appealed to
by the government to lend a hand in
establishing a new industry.
after congress authorizes the
start said Secretary Wilson, Il shall
be ready to furnish the necessary sup
plies to anyone wishing to make the
experiment of silk culture. The work
is about all done in the spring, and if
my plans carry, by next spring every
member of congress will have at his
disposal so mulberry trees to be given
away to his constituents. I think it
likely that l shall call upon Booker
L. Washington to help me at the start
through his great industrial school
at Tuskegee, Ala. He is ready there
to take hold of the experiment and do
much in a short time in educating the
public in silk culture.

silk culture can be made a success in
this country. People laughed at me

excellent tea plants in this country
to-day and preparing tea for the mar
ket in an absolutely clean way-that
is, in steel cylinders and without the

terminal spike. The plant with which
this species is most likely to be con-
fused is the wild geranium, but the
danger is confined to the early part of
the season before the flowers are de-
veloped. After the flowers of the
larkspur and geranium appear. the
two plants are easily distinguished by
the casual observer.
Tall larkspur may be considered a
poisonous plant, though it is little
eaten by farm animals. The eating oc-
ours only when snowstorms have COW
cred other plants. Even then cattle
seem to be about the only sufferers.
Even when eaten, it is not always
fatal, considerable quantities being
required to destroy life. In expert
ments made in feeding the extract of
larkspur to rabbits the animals were
made sick by it, but recovered. Never
theless, it is positively known that
cattle have been killed by eating it.
Experiments on cattle and on sheep
indicated that permanganate of pot
ash is an effective antidote when given
in the first stages of the poisoning.
Cattle should be kept from patches of
larkspur, especially during snow

PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER

Northport, Mich, Dec. 9.-The med
ical men are just now eagerly dis
cussing a most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county Mr.. Byron O.. Leslie, of
Northport, has for years been a vic
i'm of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement of this has caused pro-
found sensation among the physi-
cians and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.

ANOTHER FORM OF BRACE.

mon use for this purpose is shown in
the illustration, Fig. /. Either a
brace post is put on the inside of the
angle or an anchor rod or cable on the
outside. Both these methods have the
disadvantage of being inconvenient
because in the way, and the first is, to
say the least, very unsatisfactory as
regards rendering the fence more
stable.
Where a slight angle of this kind is
unfortunately met with, it is better
plan to set two large and durable
posts at each angle, about three or
four feet apart. Brace each of these
posts on it's lower line of resistance
by putting a heavy brace from it's
top to the foot of the next post, which
should also be large and firmly i'm
bedded one. Between the two posts
which are thus braced and set nearest
to each other, let the fence wires be
left slack so as to allow these posts
to be independent of each other in re-
spect to line of resistance, as shown
in Fig. 2. While fence in which
an angle of this nature occurs cannot
be made as stable as perfectly
straight one, it will be much more
satisfactory than if braced in the
manner first shown.-J. G. Allshouse,
in Ohio Farmer.

ANGLE BRACES.

use. Of all the ways for anchoring
an end post that have been observed
or described, the one providing for
it's having an anchor block firmly es-
tablished against undisturbed earth,
is the best-as it gives unlimited
power of resistance as regards the
part which is in the ground.
TO brace or anchor the post at
corner of field, which has to resist
the pulling effect of two lines of fence
at direct angles to each other, nothing
is better than to use two cables or
rods anchored at right angles, or in
conformity to the two lines of fence.
AS it is not always possible to run a
straight fence from corner to cor
ner, slight angles will sometimes oc-
cur which require the posts to be
braced at these points as well as at the
ends or corners. The method in COM

THE TALL LARKSPUR.
1t May Be Considered a Poisonous
Plant, Though Cattle Eat 1t Only
in Cold Weather.

Tall larkspur is sometimes erro-
neously called aconite. 1t is simple
stemmed perennial, four to seven feet
high. The numerous flowers are of a
pale-blue color and are arranged in
long, slender, terminal racemes. The
seed capsules are three lobed and
smooth, the seeds black. This species
of larkspur is easily distinguished
from the purple larkspur by the great
difference in the shape of their leaves
and the color of their flowers. The
tall larkspur has the flowers consider
ably smaller than those of the purple

SWIFTNESS OF QUADRUPEDS.
The English Greyhound Can Get
Over Ground at an Incredible
Rate of Speed.

Three men in a carriage, followed by
four dogs, alighted at one of the road
houses just beyond Kingsbridge while
was reting there one day, and proved
to be so interest ting in their conversa-
tion that I fingered many minutes be-
yond my time to listen to them and
to learn something that did not know
before. When the dogs took me into
their confidence their owners did the
same, says a writer in the New York
Herald.
1t appeared that they had been out
in Westchester county, running the
dogs and making a record of their per-
formances.
"There is the fastest animal that
runs on four legs" said one Of the men,
as he pointed at long, lank, sinewy
English greyhound that turned to-
ward us countenance fairly beam
ing with intelligence. 81 don't mean
that particular dog" he continued,
'but 1 do mean his variety, and he is
not the slowest member of it by any
means. We have just been trying him
under careful timing, and found that
he went, when on full gallop, 20 yards
a second. That means mile in min
ute and twenty-eight seconds-a speed
that comes very near that of carrier
pigeon and would leave far behind any
quadruped that we know of.
''This is matter that I have studied
and know some thing about. There are
few thoroughbred horses that can ex-
coed 10 yards a second, and have
known greyhounds to better that by
four yards. Foxhounds have a rec
ord of four imles in 61s minutes, or
nearly IS yards second. That is fast
going, and as good as the most rapid
of the hare family can do.

F1axseed Cron for 1901

There is consensus of opinion
among commercial authorities that
the 1901 faxseed crop of the United
States will prove to be the largest
ever produced in this country. Early
in the season considerable divergence
of opinion was expressed both as to
acreage and yield, and estimates of
production ranged from about 90
100000 to 100000 bushels. Lately,
however, the range has been mar
rowed and now there is practical
unanimity that the crop will amount
to between 22,oO0,0Oo and 2e,5OO, 900
bushels.

IRRIGATING CLAY SOIL.
"A Problem That Is Pulling the
Scientists of Various State Ex-
pertinent Stations.

The problems that confront the ir-
rigator in the humid states differ
from the problems that confront the
irrigator in the arid states. The
farmer in the arid states must de-
pend on irrigation water alone for
his crops, and he can sit down and
figure out how much water he needs
and when best to apply it. But the
man in the state where rains are
abundant, or even frequent, must
figure also on the possibility of get
ting too much water. There is also
the question of soil to be taken into
consideration, for, on whether the
soil be sandy or clayey will depend
the whole result in some cases. Thus,
if the land be sandy, surplus of
water will do no harm, even if heavy
rains come just after irrigating But
if the land be heavy clay and re-
ceive copious rains after irrigation,
the results are likely to be disas-
trous. Such is illustrated by the ex-
perience at the Wisconsin agriculture
al college. A potato field was placed
under irrigation tests, part being ir-
rigated and part not. AS it happened
one section of the field was COM
posed of sandy soil and the other of
heavy clay soil. 1t was irrigated
twice, and the last irrigation was fol-
lowed by heavy rains. Mark the re-
suit. On the sandy portion the in
crease of yield of potatoes due to ir-
rigation was at the rate of 81 bushels
per acre. On the heavy clay portion
the decrease of the yield of potatoes
due to irrigation was at the rate of
Sc bushels per acre. 1t is believed
that had it not been for the rains
coming after the second irrigation
the yield on the irrigated clayey por-
ton would have shown large in
crease over the unirrigated portion.
1t will thus be seen that the problem
of irrigating clay soils is much great
er than the problem of irrigating
sandy soils.-Farmers' Review.
