Texas peIuoed with Rain

Dallas, Tex. Nov. 25.-Heavy rains
fell throughout north and northeast
Texas again to-day, and as result the
situation is more serious than ever.
Rivers are overf1owing their banks III
many places and nearly all railroads
are heavy sufferers. The Trinity river
at Dallas is rising at the rate of one
foot per hour.
The Texas & Pacific tracks are
washed out both east and west of Dali
las and the Shreveport branch of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Is tied up.
The Frisco is washed out between Fris-
co and Prosper. The rain has been
heavier in that district than for years.
Trains on the Cotton Belt are seriously
delayed. and the Red river near Tex
arkana is on rampage. Reports from
Tyler say the strawberry growing dis
trict has been seriously damaged. In
some instances entire fields have been
totally ruined. Country roads are dam
aged to the extent Of many thousands
of dollars. From Mailakoff reports
come that cotton will not be worth
picking.

WAR ESTIMATES
GREATLY REDUCED

Washington, Nov 25.-Secretary
Root has just completed his estimates
for the next fiscal year, and he has
succeeded in effecting a marked re-
duction in the amount Of money re-
quired for the support of the army
and War Department. Excluding riv-
er and harbor appropriations. over
which the department has little con-
troll, as they are directed largely by
Congress, the secretary said that the
estimates for each of the last five fis-
cal years shows an annual averagd
increase from the estimates of the
previous year Of about $44500,0 900.
The estimates for the next year show
a net decrease Of $31 ,420,400 com.
pared with the estimates submitted
for the current fiscal year. and the de-
crease as compared with the current
appropriations is $20,947,960.
The estimates for the military es
tablishment, which includes all items
for the support OF the army and the
military academy, show net reduc-
ton of $21,S62,921 from the estimates
for 1908. The pay Of the army is re-
duced more than $3.000,000 in conse-
quence OF the reduction of the force
The cost of subsistence is reduced
more than $3,50O000, and the expense
of barracks and quarters in the Phil
ipppines is reduced 100000 for the
same reason. The cost of army trans
portation has been reduced $9,000,000
as result Of the peaceful conditions
now existing In the archipelago.

Foot and Mouth piaea,e.

Boston. Nov. 25.-Although the en-
tire force Of inspectors Of the Massa-
chusetts cattle commission has been
working hard for the last two weeks
hoping to stamp out the foot and
mouth disease. 1t was admitted to-day
that the disease has become almost
epidemic in this state. Many new
cases have reported in eastern and
central towns. The last epidemic in
New England some twenty years ago
cost that country over $1,000. 900. 1t
took $S,000.0 900 to stamp out . similar
epidemic In France. The great In
crease In the number Of cases II caus-
Ing apprehension among the state or
hcials. All cattle showing symptoms
Of the disease are qusrantiued.

that no plans will be approved unlesa

success Of the enterprise.
This fact. the necessity Of co-opera-
tion and mutual assistance cannot BE-
too strongly dwelt upon, for IN almost
every part Of the country Individual
and corporate enterprise has already
begun work, In q small way at least.
and in the planning of the largest and
best systems for developing the arid
land more or less private land must
be included or some interference b.

II. however. it is apparent that undue
advantage is being attempted on the
part of vested interests. there can be
no doubt that the project as govern
ment investment will be condemned at
an early stage.
The ultimate operation and control
of the water must be left to the peo-
pie who are dependent upon the use
of this water for their livelihood.
Throughout the arid regions 1t may be
said that cooperation in the handling
of water has been the requisite for
success. 1t is appreciated that some
form of cooperative organization
must be encouraged on the part of per-
sons using water from given source.
and an effort is being made to formu-
late the project for cooperative con-
troll OF the Irrigation works, and to
include this with the original plans
and regulations for obtaining title to
the land and the water.

In Behalf of Milch Goats.

II. S. Homes Pegler. secretary of the
British Goat Society, and author of
the Book of the Goat" says: In
France the subject of goats and tuber
culosis has received more attention.
Prof. Nocard stated some seven or
eight years since that out of 100, 900
goats and kids brought to Paris for
slaughter at the SHAMELESS of La Viii
lette every spring, the meat inspectors
of that city failed to discover a single
case of tuberculosis. He even added
that incubation fails to introduce the
fatal bacillus into the system of the
goat, although / believe the statement
has since been questioned; anyway
have been told by veterinary authori-
ties in this country that attempts
made in England have failed. Goats
milk as diet for children has many
advantages over cows milk, as l have
often demonstrated but this one great
virtue transcends all Others and it is
inconceivable that parents knowing
this. and having opportunities and ac-
commodation for Bookkeeping, should
not avail themselves of so simple and
economical a means of at once provid-
ing their children With the most easily
digested and most nourishing of food
and safeguarding them from one of the
greatest evils that civilization of the
present day is subject to.

Growing the Willow.

One of the incest little side issues
possible to a farmer who has a small
stream running through his place, is
willow growing. There is a constant
and II anything increasing demand for
basket willows and in many locations
the bushes can be grown with little
or no expense or trouble. Men who
have gone into it however on a very
small scale as a trial have generally
found it so profitable that they have
devoted some thought to its details and
have become extensive willow pro-
ducers. The Department of Agricult-
ure some years ago published a short
pamphlet describing the best methods
of raising willows and the conditions
under which they produce the highest
priced reeds. Willows grow readily
wherever the ground is at all moist
Where a man has a small nat which
ii would be possible for him to over
flow by the construction of a cheap
and temporary earth dam. requiring
perhaps a days labor with his team,
IL might pay him TO look into the will
low production business q little and
see IL he cannot create an additional
industry for the farm without interfer-
ing with the other work. The juvenile
members OF some farmers families
might like to try their hand at maxi
ing willow ware during the winter
evenings.

In a commercial way, cold storage is
the cheapest method of preserving eggs,
but for the housekeeper and small
poultryman a storage house is imprac-
ticable. Some other method of pre-
serving few dozen eggs Is needed, so
that when eggs are cheap and plenty
in summer, they can be laid down and
taken up and used during the winter,
when fresh eggs are a luxury. This
subject has received considerable at
tention from experiment stations and
others interested, and the latest infor-
nation by the Rhode Island report re-
Gently issued, says the Agriculturist.
Among the methods employed were
the use of waterglass or Silicate of
soda, table salt, slaked lime and salt
brine, Vaseline, dried wood ashes, fine
ly ground gypsum, powdered sulphur,
birthstone fumes and sulphur, perman-
ganate of potash, salicylic acid and
salt brine. In each case fresh eggs
were carefully gathered and placed in
stone jars, which were kept in closet
where the temperature ranged from 81
to 81 degrees in summer. They were
covered with the liquid preservative,
where such were used, or packed in
dry material, as the case might be.
Vaseline was rubbed over the shell
with a cloth, while in the birthstone
eggs were subjected to the fumes of
burnt birthstone an hour, and then
packed in flowers of sulphur.
The eggs were packed for a period
of ten and half months, when they
were examined. Those preserved with
waterglass or with the lime, water
and salt brine, were all good for Gull
nary purposes, but the rest were all
spoiled. Further experiments with the
fri nd c
found that as little as 3 per cent. So
luton was effective. Either wooden,
earthen or glass receptacles will do
to hold the eggs, which should be
washed clean, laid in carefully and
then covered with the solution of wa
terglass and water. After a time the
waterglass forms a white precipitation
upon the shell, which is readily wash
ed off when the eggs are taken out for
use.
After being preserved in this for ten
and a half months the whites of the
eggs were clear but no. so limpid as
those of fresh eggs. The yolks ap-
peared normal in color and condition.
The air cell was not enlarged. The
taste was slightly fiat, or at least not
perfectly fresh, but they were suitable
for culinary use and probably as good
as most crate eggs commonly found
| in market
In preparing the lime water and
salt brine solution, one pound quick
lime and one-half pound table salt
were thoroughly mixed with boiling
water. After shaking and settling, the
| clear solution was drawn off and pour
ed over the eggs. The eggs kept as
we'll in this as in the waterglass. the
| whites beat up nicely, but had a
slightly salt taste. This method OF
| preserving eggs is somewhat cheaper
than the waterglass. which, however
is not very expensive If per cent
| solution is used

serve a few very reasonable require
ments.
These are clean surroundings. pure
water, suitable food, protection.
Clean dry yard, with wire net
ting fence six feet high about it. If
the yard is a closely cut sward it may
be the better. Suitable iron vessels,

Wheat" Egyptian corn or mello maize.
Use no dough or any sailed food.
Boiled turnips, potatoes, or artichokes
can be given to advantage, but nothing
is essential beyond the whole small
