japanese Bamboos.

There are many varieties OF the bamboo

mats to the tail bamboo tree which the

There are actual records of a bamboo grow

Japan, even where there are heavy falls of
snow in winter. 1t is popular misconcep-

The Plague in India.
From the Boston Transcript.

The years come and the years go, but the
plague epidemic in India shows no signs
of material abatement. The dreadful mall

Investigators. They cannot stamp it out
and they cannot account for Its freakish
manifestations. The Pioneer Mail. pub

why ut takes hold upon one district and
passes by another" why in one year and
place an epidemic will begin and subside
months earlier than in another; least OF
all can any one venture to prophesy when
the country or any part of 1t will be free
of the disease" Nowhere, 1t Is said, have
preventive measures met with less success
than in the Punjab, though nowhere else
has the government attacked the problem.

must be admitted that the people were not
overwillng to accept the good offices of
the gor eminent, but that is a condition of
thirgs existing every where in India, and 1t
constitutes the chief element in the con-
tiEual spread of the plague epidemics."
incubation has played an important part
in the fight against this disease and with
results that were very promising Between
May and September, 1900 nearly quarter
of a million people were inoculated. The
percentage of attacks among all such was
1.32, as compared with 500 among uninocu-
lated persons, and the mortality in cases
OF the latter was 80 Is per cent, as against
$3.50 among the inoculated Encouraged
by these figures in 19O2-1903 the Punjab
government undertook to inoculate six mill
lions of people. practically the whole popu-
lation of the thirteen districts most serious
ly affected by previous epidemics This
necessitated daily supply of 10000 doses
of prophylactic fluid which the Bombay
Research laboratory agreed to furnish. But
Instead of this number of doses daily 1t
was thirty-one days in supplying little
over twice the amount, and then it was
announced that the fluid would be supplied
by a different method from the one pre-
YiCuslY followed.

 The strike is not affecting the price of Arizona cattle. and probably

 Stockman Opinion seems to be quite general that the day of fat grass cattle is among the rapidly disappearing things, and this means that the beef supply to a very large extent must come from some other source. The localities where formerly cattle were fattened on the succulent grasses are grad- ually and not slowly being given over to agriculture. and this leads to the belief that the alfalfa areas in the irrigated west will De de- pended upon to greater degree for the furnishing of their share of fatcattle,and in this respect Arizona will by no means be the hindmost. It has been demonstrated for years that fattening cattle on the alfalfa farms is a profitable as we'll as pleasant method of farming in this valley, and while the margin of profits may not be 50 large as in some of the specially farming, the risk taken Is not so great.
