two years of age. 1t may appear at
any season of the year, but commonly
in spring and fall. They should be in
oculated when about four months old
and again when about one year old.
The vaccination seems only to protect
about one year. 1t can he done at time
of year convenient to the owner, and
on any part OF the animal, generally in
ear, tail or neck. All animals dying
with this disease should be burned.
The first thing detected is the animal

animal dies in few hours, and on cut

How to Use Poultry Manure.

Poultry manure is very concen-
trated fertilizer, and this should be
borne in mind when it is being ap.
piled to the land. 1t should be saved
with care, as careless1ess in that re-
spect may render it of little value.
Mixing it with dry dust will destroy
sits value unless a certain amount OF
moisture be present. When kept in
barrels it is well to keep it little
moist, but not wet. When too dry
mischief is wrought by chemical ac-
ton, and when too wet, by bacterial
action.

Church Going in the OIden Days.

Those who are concerned about the
present condition of church attend
ance, now being discussed in our col
umns, might like to return to the state
Of things prevalent in George lis
reign. The medieval laws for filming
people who did not go to church, and
even those who harbored absentnes,
were still in force, which looks as
though the church still entered a
good deal into the daily life of the
people. There was, indeed, daily serv-
ice in Al of the city churches, and even
ing service in all of them on Wednes-
day and Friday evenings, besides spe-
cial sermons on other days in churches
endowed with lectureships. Fast days
were still vigorously observed, too, al
though, in most cases, the shops were
not closed on Ash Wednesd day and Good
Friday, as they had been in monast tic
times. But the work Of the clergy
practically ended with the perform.
ance of their ecc,esia stical duties and
the visiting of the sick. Other parish
work was not then done by the clergy
at all.-London Chronicle

SOBBED AS HE PLEADED
 FOR OLD CONFESSION
White Haired Minister Protests
 Against Revision.

Philadelphia, Pa, November g. Whitehall and bowed down with the weight of years, the Rev. Andrew McElwain made a pathetic plea yester- day for the retention of the Westmin- ster Confession of Faith at the meet ing of the Philadelphia Presbtery in the WitherspOon Building.
 His voice trembling with. emotion, the venerable minister began his plea for the doctrines of the old faith. He seemed to take on renewed youth, foI the eyes that appeared dim before were shining with the light of battle and the voice that seemed weak was ringing in it's intensity. Once he raised his hand in invocation, and then again, but the hand fell to his side, the head lowered, and a sob broke forth from trembling lips. No applause greeted the closing of this old mans appeal. but the eyes of his hearers told of it's effect better than plaudits.
 The consideration of the eleven re-

pal stumbling block to the perfection of the well-laid plans of the Amalga mated Co. have been the feud with MT. IIeinze and the non-concurrence of Calumet & Hecla in the Amalgamatel programme.
 Tt is needless to say that any con yention that Calumet & HecIa and the Phelps, Dodge & Co. interests may en- ter into will be entirely to their satis- faction, and it is not unlikely that with the Heinze controversy in a fair way for settlement, there will be an'aggTes- sive movement in copper and copper shares in Europe and America that will rival that of 1899, leaving for a more OppOrtune time any attempt at coercion in the direction of Calumet & Hecla and such other independents as may not be brought immediately within the scope of the Amalgamated-R -Rothschild programme.
 With a victory for Clark in Montana and given an easy money market dur ing November and December the Anal gamated Co. and friends will, I believe, inaugurate a far-reaching movement which will extend far into 1903, and will be based upon a strong statistical cop per position, and the consummation of their plans with European interests, the acquisition or control of compar- Gtively new and valuable mines, mining and other properties in Mexico, Lake Superior and elsewhere.
 Time can only show as to whether my diagnosis of the situation is correct or not. but allowing for some error as to time and other details it is plain to all students of the copper situation that 2 pronounced movement in copper and copper shares is imminent in the not far distant future, whether insti- gated CT led by the Amalgamated Co. or not.
 An advance in copper will find the principal consumers of the world bare of metal and an advance in Copper shares will find many stock brokers bears in stocks. The result will be much higher prices than the true posi- tiOn may warrant"

BRITISH SRIPBUILDERS
 PROFIT BY THE TRUST
American Firms Fail to Secure Busl-

New York. November 9.-There is no indication that the glowing predic- tions as to what the shipping trust would do for American shipyards will materfalize Since the merger was eff fected by J. Pierpont Morgan orders haven't rushed in upon ship builders in this country as it was foretold they would, but instead British builders are getting the business. There are now ships being turned out for the trust in this country, but they are being built under contracts signed be- fore the deal was put through.
 Harland G Wolff. of Belfast Ireland, received from the trust contracts for two Atlantic liners larger than any now afloat, and other foreign builders have already benefited by the Morgan deal The two ships to be built at Belfast will be somewhat larger than the mammoth Cedric, recently con tracted for. The Cedric is approXi- mately 700 feet in length and of 20,So0 tons displacement, and these two will be a few feet longer and, approximate ly. of 22,000 tons displacement. Th5 two new ships will be rather slow car riers, capable of only sixteen knots speed. Neither has as yet been laid down in the Belfast yard. The Ced- ric is now afloat, but is being held ir the yard, as changes in her passenger accommodations have lately been or dered by the trust.

Babies can eat and thrive on the same kind of food that their elders do, when that food happens to be Grape Nuts.

 We were simply wild, hopeless and miserable over our little one. For a long time I had been reading of Grape Nuts, and perhaps by inspiration I bought a package and began feeding them to her. After the second meal, we used no more physic, and have nev- CT used any since It was wonderful to see her improve. Her weight was 1712 pounds at two years; now it is 27 pounds at two years and four months.

Boston, Nov. 9.-E. P. White, presi- dent of the New England Metal Co.,, is out in a very strong declaration urging that natural conditions justify higher prices for copper. More than eight pounds of refined copper for S1.OO,' says MT. White, seems cheap, either for investment, consumption or specu- latiOn especially at this season of the year" With the opinion that the worlds available copper on Jan. l. 1905 will be many thousand tons less than it was on Jan. l, 1902, MT. White con tinues:
 This will have been brought about by the lowering of the price in Amer ica from r to Il cents, thereby allow ing dealers and consumers all over the world to replenish their exhausted stocks during the first six months of this year. Added to this is consump ton, which had been checked after the price went above 15 cents per pound last year, and was resumed with tre- mendous vigor, not only in Americ,, but also in Europe, as proven by the enormous increase in exports from Us thus far this year.
 "The Amalgamated Co.,, for reasons best known to itself, but probably fair ly well known to the public, has sue cessfully kept the price of copper thus far from reaching more than IS cents per pound this year, but has, during the interim, probably secured the con trOl of the leading new producers of copper in Mexico.

 "A convention between the Amalga- mated Co. and the Rotchschilds un- dOubtedly was made soon after Dr. LedOux's American statistical figures were received by the principal coppe~ producers abroad, looking to an equit- able arrangement between European capitalists, mine owners and the Anal gamated Co.,, not only regarding the metal copper, but also the shares of the various companies that they are or may be interested in.

 The adoption of these articles will create internal war. It leaves too many doors open for error to creep in from every quarter. I am a loyal Presbyterian, and am not afraid to speak out and tell you what is being done and will be done.
