SHARKS RECORD TRIP.
Said to Have Come from Africa 20
Florida In Two DAYS.


Florida In Two Days.
A government official who recently
returned from a visit to Palm Beach
Fla. tells about seeing a huge man
eating shark captured at that place
1t was one Of the biggest sharks ever
caught In Florida waters and was evi
IDENTITY sailor Of many years. The
monster measured over eighteen feet
In length, had a sword attachment as
long as an arm and was Of the leop-
ard variety, stamping 1t as one Of the
man-eating kind.
The shark was caught by a fisher
man. He used a large rope for q
Line and had windlass as a reel. At
the end Of the line was huge steel
hook, and this was baited with q
bright tin can. The shark bit at the
bait and was entrapped. He was
landed after the toughest time the
fisherman ever experienced.
1t was the interior Of the fish, how
ever, that excited the greatest inter-
est. When he was cut open a whole
porpoise was found in the stomach.
There was also large piece Of partly
digested shark and the head Of an
ostrich. The piece Of shark inside the
monster was out of the back and con-
tanned the backbone of the dead fish.
A careful examination showed that
the backbones were larger than the
backbones of the captured shark. A
number of scars on his body showed
that he had been in conflict with an
other shark, and the finding of piece
Of the adversary showed that the
conflict and ended in the death Of the
opponent; that the victor had swal-
lowed juicy portion Of his adversary.
1ne presence Of the ostrich head
In the stomach Of the man-eater was
regarded as undoubted proof that he
had made the trip from Africa, and
that he had made the trip in two or
three days. The head was not digest
ed and the process of digestion had
only just begun.
There is only one ostrich farm in
Florida, and when that institution
was communicated with the owners
said that they had not lost an ostrich
in a year. The ability of shark to
pass a fast steamer in one minutes
time is we'll known to travellers, and
there is no doubt that the shark had
been in African waters, had captured |
q stray ostrich or the head Of one
that had been killed and then started |
across the Atlantic, reaching Florida
waters before the ostrich head had
begun to digest.-Washington Times.

Bermuda, Johnson and Other Grasses.

Bermuda, ans anu juliet 0AaSseS'
I want to ask the readers of The
Progressive Farmer for information
on Bermuda and johnson grasses,
as I have a rough, thin-soiled place
on a mountain apart from my home
place and joining no else, and
can find none of our grasses here
that will make a permanent stand on
this thin-soiled, hot, southwest land.
Does Bermuda grass produce seed,
and if so, where can the seed be
bought, and what would be the price?
If propigated from the root, where
and how could it be bought. What
kind of grazing does it make for all
kinds of stock? And is it very bad
to spread to land where it would not
be wanted? And would it be hard to
kill on cultivated land? What height
does it grow and will it make a per-
manent stand on thin, rough, noun
tain lands?
Also whether it would be advisable
to risk the trial of Johnson grass on
the above named land, as it is not
likely to ever be used foranything
but grazing for many years to come.
Could the Johnson grass be kept
grazed down SO as to keep it from
producing seed, SO as to prevent it
from spreading by the stock OF by
birds or washing down streams?
I earnestly desire the above in
formation from you or some reader
of The Progressive Farmer.

principle of immunization as APP
piled to vaccination against tuber-
culosis of cattle is proven, and it
now remains only to work out the
details of the method. This impor-
tant work is being continued on a
larger scale for the purpose of ascer~
tanning the simplest and shortest
practicable method of vaccination.
1t is not yet known how long the
immunity will last nor what the ulti-
mate effect upon the animal will be.
So far, however, as the few expert
ments here and in Germany show,
no fear need be anticipated of I'M
favorable results in these particu-
lars. What is needed now is the
painstaking use of the method on
a few t~ubercular herds kept under
careful and continuous observation.
A scr~upulously careful trial on a
limited scale under proper condi-
tions will do more to furnish the
information needed to answer the
few remaining questions upon this
discovery than any amount of gen
eraI use under less careful super
vision. In the estimation of the in
vestigators it would be premature to
apply this vaccination to herds until
such further experiments are COM
pleted. An effort will be made to
secure State aid for experiments on
a scale large enough to solve this
most important problem.

EAST AFRICAN COTTON.
First Shipment Significant of Wide Pos
sibilIties of Future Growth.

The first shipment of cotton from
East Africa, as well as the first sue
cessful crop of Egyptian cotton ever
raised outside of Egypt has just ar
rived on German soil, says United
States Consul Monaghan, in a report
to the State Department from Chem
nitz, the report reaching Washing
ton last week. Although consisting
of but four bales, the shipment is re-
garded as signifying the wide posi-
bilities for the future cotton import
trade Of Germany, and should furth-
er efforts prove successful, German
East Africa, says the consul. may
become an important source of cot
ton for German mills. The product
is of a brownish yellow color and has
a long silky fibre. Credit for this
achievement, the consul adds, is to
be attributed to the skill of Ameri-
can agriculturists whom the German
government engaged to go to East
Africa and instruct the natives in
the method of preparing the soil,
planting the seed and harvesting the
product. "This all goes to show"
the report concludes, that Ger
many's commercial policy includes
an effort to make herself independ-
ent, as far as possible, of all foreign
markets in the matter of raw mate
rails"

(Answer by Prof. W. F. Massey, of
the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
I would say to your Haywood
County correspondent that he had
better let alone both Bermuda and
Johnson grasses. Bermuda is the
finest possible pasture grass for the
warm soil Of the cotton belt, but can
never be anything but a nuisance in
the mountain country of Haywood.
Johnson grass, while a valuable hay
grass in low moist land, becomes a
nuisance by spreading throughout
the whole country and would not do
50 well on the land which your cor
respondent describes, and would be
a means of scattering it all over the
country where it is not wanted.
Down here, where Johnson grass is
all over the country, [ would not hes
ltate to use it on a low piece of
ground, but the man who introduces
it into a section where it is not al
ready planted should be prosecuted
for a nuisance.
| would think that if the land he
mentioned is well broken and fertil-.
lied he could grow a mixture of or
chard grass and tall meadow oats
grass more successfully than either
of the grasses he names. Johnson
grass is not a pasture grass at best,
for about the only thing that will
kill it out is hard pasturing.

Protecting Cattle Against tuberculosis
by vaccination-An Interesting Re
port of Experiments Made in Penn
syIvania.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Please find enclosed a preliminary
statement upon some experiments
upon the protection of cattle against
tuberculosis by vaccination. The
work upon which this statement is
based is so convincing that there re-
mains no room to doubt that the
procedure is effective; whether it
may be applied practically remains
to be determined.
The vast practical advantage of
such a plan will be evident to you
from the fact that tuberculosis of
cattle now causes in Pennsylvania
losses amounting to at least one mil
lion dollars annually and the losses
In the other Eastern and in some
Western States are in proportion.
Yours respectfully,

following each injection, which does
not annoy the animal enough to
cause it to lose a single meal. The
general health is not disturbed by
the process of vaccination. When
the series of vaccinations is COM
