prices showed an advance OF IL to 10
points on sensationally unfavorab'e
weather. bullish accounts from spot
markets and increased confidence that
the census bureau report tomorrow
showing the amount Of cotton ginned
to Nov. IA and estimating the amount
remaining to be ginned will make q
very bullish showing. Private advices
from Liverpool indicated that the large
short interests were covering there
and buying here seems to come large
ly from Wall street shorts altho there
is also a perfect flow of orders from
outside cources. Naturally bulls took
profits heavily at the advance. but
their offerings were absorbed with
amazing promptness. After sagging
back point or two a fresh influx OF
outside buying orders, execution of stop
foss orders and continued covering
started prices upward again with the
market inside of the first half hour a

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT.
nsvisw Of the Work Of the Department
During the Past Year.

Washington. Dec. Secretary
Hames Wilson, Of the department of
agriculture, submitted his seventh an
hual report to the president yesterday.
Secretary Wilson emphasizes the re-
uuirements OF the department for re-
search work and says 1t is not possible
to secure enough graduates from the
agricultural colleges to supply the de-
mand for education in the various
branches OF the department. Since
1897 there have been admitted to the
department 496 students and other
scientists have been secured wherever
possible.
Mr.. Wilson gives the total agricul-
tural products not fed to livestock at
43,742, 100000 and the balance Of for
eign trade in favor of the farmers of
this country during the last fourteen
years. $4,S06, 100000. He says 1T Is the
GARNER who has paid the foreign bond
holder"
The cost OF suppressing the foot and
mouth disease in New England last
year was 100000. Nearly 5000 AMI
mails were slaughtered and the depart
ment paid 10 per cent of the appraised
value OF these, which amounted 70
e128, 900. Mr.. Wilson says a general
epidemic Of this disease would have
cost the farmers Of the United States
many millions OF dollars and could not
have been stamped out for years.
The work OF fighting sheep scab has
progressed favorably. During the year
over 100000 sheep were inspected
by the department officials and over
100000 animals were dipped. An i'm

IShenandoah Sentinel.

When the Fifty first Iowa returned
from the Philippine war three years
ago John Enfield. member Of Com
pany NJ, brought to his home in Cla-
rinda a magnificent painting which he
and Lieutenant Palmer had rescued
from a church during the burning of a
city in the interior OF Luzon. They
tore 1t from Its massive gold frame.
wrapped It around bamboo pole and
brought 1t home along with other
spoils of war. The writer of this saw
the picture not long after 1t was hung
up on the walls OF the Enfield home.
The boys. no doubt, realized the value
OF their prize. else they would not
have taken the great trouble to pre-
serve it. It Is indeed d fine work of
art, and has hung there unappreciated
by the people of Clarnda, altho visi-
tors stood in wonder before It. The

Remedie. and How 70 Give 1hem.

In sickness among domestic animals,
1t Is always safer to call on the yeter-
marian, but there are times when the
simpler remedies can be given. Most
farmers and stockmen know more or
less about these, but frequently make
mistakes by carlessness in handling
the medicine. and often in the guam
tity administered. The following guam
titles and measurements will be found
useful, and this item should be cut out
and referred to for reference. Remem-
Der that a teaspoon holds one fluid
dram, dessert spoonful two fluid
drams, a tablespoonful, one-half a
fluid ounce, wine glass two to two
and one-half fluid ounces, a tea cup
five to seven fluid ounces and a COM
mon tumbler from eight to ten fluid
ounces. These are the articles most
commonly at hand when medicines are
to be measured. A few Of the common
remedies with the proper doses. are
given: Aconite-horses, twenty 70
thirty drops: cattle, one-half to one
dram; sheep and swine, Ave to ten
drops. EPSON salt-for indigestion In
cattle. one-quarter pound in three
quarts of water; as purge. one to one
half pounds In twelve quarts of water.
Calomel-horses and cattle. ten grains
to one dram; sheep and swine, five to
thirty grains, daily. AS a purge for
horses. use in mixture calomel one
dram, aloes four drains; for cattle, cali
omel one to two drains, EPSON salt one
pound. AS vermifuge for horses, the
following mixture is excellent: One
dram each OF calomel, oil of male shield
fern and aloes and Of ginger four
drains. Make into a ball with linseed
meal and molasses. Aloes-horses, two
to ten drains; cattle, one to two ounces;
sheep, one half to one ounce. swine,

Mrs. Aman,ia Bass Believes Valuable

Louisville, Ky, Dec. Mrs. Amanda
Bass, the original OF Mrs. Wigs OF the

ghtful heir to property worth mil

Chicago was dreamed of. He laid out A

named for his daughters. May. Anna,

of White. Her uncle. volney Thomas
OF Munfordville, pressed the claim in
