OUR 1000 LAWMAKERS.
Interesting Statistics Relating to the
legislatures of the Diff
ferent States.

There are very nearly 1000 members
exclusive of territorial legislatures
in Arizona, SO in New Mexico and 80 in
Oklahoma. Of the 1000, 3,725 are re-
publicans and 1924 democrats.
New Hampshire, one of the smallest
of the states in voting population, has
legislature of 419 members, whereas
Ohio, one of the largest states, has a
legislative membership of only 143
There is no state in which there are
no democratic members of the legisla-
ture. There are several states which
have no republican representation in
their legislatures, says the New York
Sun.
There are no republicans in the leg
islatures of Louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina-the three states in
which the colored population prepon-
derates. There is only one republican
in Florida and only one in the Texas
legislature, and two only in the legis-
lature of Arkansas.
The closest legislature is that Of
Colorado, control of which on joint
ballot is still in dispute. The demo-
Gratis have majority in one house and
the republicans in the other.
In the Georgia legislature there are
as many populists as republicans; in
Mississippi there are two populists and
no republicans. The South Dakota Leg
islature has only ten democratic mem
bers to 122 republicans, and the Mich
igan legislature has II democrats to
121 republicans.
The Delaware and the Nevada legis-
latures have the same number of mem
bers, 81 each. There are 205 republic
can members of the legislature in Con-
necticut, six more than the republic
cans have in Pennsylvania, and there
are two more democratic legislators in
Virginia than there are republican leg
islators in New York.

WARTS ON SHOW CATTLE.
Two Different Ways of Removing
Them from Different Parts of
the Animals Body.

Many breeders of show cattle are
often troubled with warts growing in
very conspicuous places on their prize
animals, says Prof. L. A. Cottrell, for
merly Of the Agricultural experiment
station in Kansas. 1--WE had much
trouble with the pure blood stock, and
several successful methods were en-
ployed in their determination. In order
to experiment on taking off warts a
Red Poll heifer was selected on which
the warts were so thick that 1t was i'm
possible to place ones hand on her with
out coming in contact with several large
growths. We tried two different ways
on different parts of the animals body.
On her head and shoulders we applied
castor oil-well rubbed in-twice daily
for a week. Shortly after each applica-
ton a portion of the wart would scuff
off, and in two weeks the warts were en-
tirely cured without any pain to the
animal in any respect. On the back
and hips of the same heifer we used
concentrated acetic acid, applying it
with fountain pen filler, and soaking
the wart up thoroughly after applying
grease around the root to keep the acid
from eating the flesh. About twelve
hours after the operation the warts
could be pulled out easily. This was the
quicker way, but it caused considerable
pain and irritation, and it is accom-
panied by some danger of the acid being
dropped upon the skin and thus causing

OLD WAYS MUST GO.
The Farmer Who Does Not Adopt tho
Advanced Methods of the Day
Is Sure to Fail.

The man who is engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits at the present day is ex-
pected to keep UP and advance with the
agricultural progress of the world. he
must dispense with the old methods
and adopt the new and later Inventions.
We cannot raise and fed our stock as
our forefatherS did hundred years ago
because we are advancing and land is
more closely taken up; consequently we
must work more on the order of the in
tensive system. We know it is hard for
some farmers, who have been taught
and raised to do a thing a certain way
TO change to the better methods. 1T
seems to them that it is wrong, and Oft
en- they cannot be blamed for feeling so.
But we must gradually free ourselves
from these ideas All the other depart
ments of the business world are advanc-
ing, and why should not agriculture adj
vance with 1t? The whole race of hu-
mainly is depending upon agriculture
for living and the trade should not be
thought any the less of by anyone. The
man who is engaged in other pursuits
OF life should honor the farmer, as he
must understand that whatever he eats
comes from him. If the farming class
does not advance with the rest of the
world it will be to it's own loss 1t is
not natural that we should be satisfied
to work in the same road we did years
ago, or even one year ago. We should
strive to do better this year and make
an advancement wherever possible.
The best, easiest and most practical way
to advance ourselves is given in one sem
tence, namely,-"Read plenty of agricul-
tural literature and apply the facts
gained to actual experience. The farm
ing world would be far behind where it
is now if it were not for the help that has
been given us by farm literature. Every
farmer should try to make some i'm
provement and advancement every day.
Never let your business get the best Of
you, but get the best of it, and you can
best do this by advancing with the rest
OF the world.-E. J. Waterstripe, in Epit~

THE ANGELUS.

The day draws to an end; the evening
light
Turns all TIE carven images to gold
While round the spires, in Interviewing
flight,
The swallows wing as though they
wrought, ere night,
To weave a sheer invisible fabric bright
OF sun and blue, to shroud the dying
day
Ere she be laid in shadows dark and
cold,
Ere all her beauty. whitening, pass
away.
From the high tower the angelus of rest
Rings out at last day-labor's passing
bell;
While in the fields of harvest east and
west
And north and south the reapers. head
on breast,
breathe their last prayer, and turn from
tc1some quest,
Wherein since dawn they have labored
in the sun;
Full glad to see the clear sky promise
we'll
For ending of their reaping we'll begun.
0 Love! may we. when life draws near
And bright the sunset glow upon the
brow,
Of all the world of toiling take our leave,
Forgetting all the woes that fret and
Remembering only flashing joys that
weSve
Fsr love sheer imperishable beauty
bright,
And hear with happy hearts. as we
hear now,
The angslus at falling of the light.

CAUSE OF WESTERN FLOODS.
IeteoroIo6.st Says the Recent Down,
pour Is Due to West Indian
Volcanoes.

The scientific explanation of the I'M
precedented rains in Kansas is that they
are caused by the eruptions a year ago
Of Mont Pelee, Soufriere and other vol
canoes. Capt. Ives, signal officer of
the department of the Colorado, and a
scientist of note in the United States
army, advances this theory, says the
Denver Post:
''The violent eruptions of Mont Pelee,
the Soufriere and other volcanoes a
year ago are undoubtedly the cause of
the heavy rains in Kansas that are re-
sponsible for the disastrous foods" says
Capt Ives to-day. Rain must have
nucleus, beginning. There is some
thing that causes rain, of course. We
know it is eondensations. The volca-
noes spout up vast clouds of ashes, send
ing them far into the upper strata
where there are no clouds. To what
height these ashes were sent is purely
conjectural. 1t is certain they vent far
above the cloud limit.
Currents have taken these ashes a
vast distance, and they have, as is
were, accommodated themselves to the
revolution of the world
"These ashes attained a certain
height. Then there was resistance
that stopped them and they began
settling. They passed, naturally,
through the most distant strata of
clouds. They condensed water, plainly
stated, and opened vast clouds and
created more condensations, and finally
the lower strata of the clouds were
reached and then came this deluge of
water upon the western slope of the
Mississippi valley. That Kansas has
not got the full effect is attested by
heavy rains in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri
and other states and SHOWS in the noun
tains of Colorado, but Kansas appears
to be the center of the downpour.
II do not know how long this will
continue. There can be no doubt that
the accumulation of moisture in rain
is enormous. AS never in the history
Of the world were there such eruptions
Of volcanoes, SO, it. is now said, have
there never been such rains as those that
have fallen in Kansas, Is inches, for
instance, falling in Abilene in one day.
There was naturally an amount of
ashes thrown out of the volcanoes that
cannot be estimated. 1t is beyond esti-
nation, and naturally this means UNI
precedented rains"

Intestinal Worms In Hogs.

Recently while at the Iowa AgricuI.
tural college the writer noticed the
ground in the hog yard Uttered with
excreted intestinal worms. The keeper
explained that he had just given the
swine their semi-annual dose of worm
medicine. He said that it was his obser-
walton that hogs were frequently sick
as a result of intestinal worms and that
many times diseases arising from worms
were named cholera. This would the
more likely be the case, as large num-
Der of hogs might be sick at the same
time from the same cause. This cause OF
disease is too frequently overlooked, es-
pecially by the farmer that has only a
few hogs and gives them but little at
tention. When hog eats well ami yet
remains stunted it may be guessed that
worms are at least partial canae.-

The Smithsonian institution has
published new edition of Dr. Lang
ley's Experiments in Aerodynamics, .
first printed II years ago. In summing
up DR.. Langley speaks of the pros
poets for the future somewhat as fol-
lows: "Since that time, he says, he
has demonstrated that mechanical
flight is possible by actually perform
ing it with steel flying machines near
ly 1000 times heavier than air, driven
by steam. These machines weighed
from 80 to 40 pounds, and flew from
one-half to three-quarters of mile al
speeds varying from 20 to 80 miles an
hour. 1t is believed by DIR. Langley
that the time is now very near when
human beings will be transported at
high velocities, though perhaps at first
under exceptional conditions, such as
are demanded in the arts of war rather
than of peace.-N. Y. Sun.
