LUCK VERSUS SCIENCE.
There are Many Farmers Yet whs
Will Not Admit that Science Can
Teach Them Anything.

Men are not as scarce as they
ought to be who ridicule any idea Of
germs as the cause Of diseases IN
men, animals or plants. If ignorance
is not bliss In such cases, it affords
the ignoramus large amount Of sat
tsfaction to sneer at book farming
and with loud mouth proclaim that
science has nothing to do with farm
ing which is merely matter Of plow-
ing and hoeing, and land and rain.
Numerous writer's on poultry dis
eases proclaim that ''filth causes
cholera" "lice causes cholera and
roup," and other similar nonsense.
Some say that anthrax and blackleg
are caused by cattle eating weeds,
and that luck and the moon have
more to do with the success and
failure in farming than bacteria, or
anything learned at colleges or from
books. And yet many of these OBJ
jectors are careful not to drink con-
taminated water, and some OF them
will not let their cows or horses
drink it. Their reason is not because
disease germs lurk therein, but be-
cause it is bad luck to do 90. A great
outbreak OF typhoid fever broke out
IN England among people who bought
army blankets from soldiers who re-
turned from the Boer war. Is it con-
ceivable that army, or any other
blankets, could cause typhoid fever
unless they were contaminated with
the germs of the disease? These
germs are what we call bacteria, or
disease germs. These disease germs
can be seen, but only by using mi
croscope to aid natural vision; and
those who deny their existence prob
Rbly never looked into . microscope
and many never saw one and know
nothing Of its construction or pow
ers. Some people will not believe
what they can not see, and in this
they are blinded by ignorance and
prejudice. There are men yet who
contend that filthy mud pools are
good for hogs to wallow in, simply
because hogs seem to enjoy the cool
ng effects. Such men are not only
the health of their own |
hogs, but they are dangerous mem
oers of community, because they
ire likely to spread the germs Of the
disease among their neighbours stock.

varies in amount from two or three to
about 100 ounces, but the average is
about 30 ounces 10 the package. This

STRUCK BY WATER SPOUT.

In From ROckaway.

New York, June S.-Rushing in
from the sea, waterspout, travelling
at great speed, struck a train on the
Brooklyn elevated road, bound city
ward from Rockaway Beach. The
motorman saw the spout just as the
train reached a trestle over Broad
channel, Jamaica bay. He threw on
full power in an effort to get past,
but the flood of water struck between
the third and fourth cars. The plat
forms were crowded with persons un-
able to get inside the cars. These
were almost swept off into the bay,
but managed to hold fast to the rail-
ings. The flood rushed down the
allies and caused a wild scramble.
Hundreds of pleasure seekers were
drenched to the skin. No one was
seriously injured, however, and de-
spite the fact that lots of water
struck the cars, they did not leave
the rails.

ing physician of Shiloh, in the same
county, for $4,000 damages, claim
ing breach of promise. The case is

affair. Cards were out for the mar
riage of Miss Lyle to DR.. Ussery and
the wedding was to be a swell
church affair. All the arrangements
were being made and the affair was
looked forward to with general in
terest, owing to the widespread pop
ularity and prominence of both par
ties concerned. On May p, only
a few days before the Ussery-Lyle
wedding was to have taken place,
DR.. Ussery went to Clarksville and
was quietly married to Miss Buyde

the tooth of some animal, which
from its size was apparently once the

four inches wide and five inches
long, the cavity which contained the
nerve being as large as the little fin
ger. The enamel of the tooth was
perfectly preserved. Only one other
bone, small one, was found.
