HIS MISSION IS ENDED
ARCHDEACON WEBBER'S WORK
AMONG LOCAL EPISCOPAL
CHURCHES CLOSES WITH IN
SPRING MEETING.

The special services of the Episcopal
churches eliminated last evening in the
grandest service ever held in St. Mark 8
pro-cathedral. It was fitting climax
to two weeks of gradually deepening, in
terest; The first week Of the mission,
the principal parishes in the city and
then concentrated his efforts in St.
Marks pro-cathedral, giving three,
sometimes four, addresses a day. In
spite of the large gatherings at the Met
ropolitan theater and elsewhere, the at
tendance at the noon services steadily
increased. Men and women were SO
stirred by the message Of the preacher
that the number at the early celebra-
ton on Sunday morning was something
unknown in the history Of the parish
on any such occasion.
Archdeacon Weber has been in the
diocese before, but not in Minneapolis.
He seems to have gathered strength
with each passing year, and his physl'
cal and spiritual power are source
Of wonder to his friends.

A GREAT

When we find that we have in our
country a disease of animals that
causes a damage amounting to a sum
between $4,000, 600 and $4,000, 600 an
nually, it becomes a matter that may
we'll engage the attention of the best
scientists, says The Country Calendar.
Such a disease is hog cholera. 1t is an
old disease that is prevalent and per-
sistent in every country where there
ire hogs, but so far it has baffled all
efforts for it's control. The larger sun
named as the amour of annual DAM
age lone is probably not too great for
the United States, and it is about nine
per cent. of the total value of all the
hogs born in this country.
The first step toward the suppression
of a disease is to ascertain its cause,
and Drs. d. L. Salmon and Theobald
Smith, two distinguished scientists,
thought, as long & as 1889, that they
had discovered that the disease is due
TO a micro-organism which they named
bacillus cholera suis. In their expert
ments they readily transmitted the dis
ease from one animal TO another by
incubation with diseased blood. 1t de-
veloped, however, that no line of ex-
periments based on the above conclu-
sion gave satisfactory results. DR..
Salmon, as the head OF the bureau Of
animal industry, continued to encour-
age every effort to solve the problem,
and he now that the investi-
cations conducted in his bureau by Drs.
Dorset, Bolton and McBryde prove that
the triple headed bacterium mentioned
above is not guilty of producing the
disease, but that the blame must be
placed upon another n an invisible
observation-disclosures that is o small
as yet even TO receive a name, but
which is responsible for an enormous
amount of trouble.
These scientists, who divide their
donors with DR.. A. E. de Schweinitz,
III died last year, found that, by
using the best filters made, they could
remove all so-called hog cholera and
swine plague germs, and then by inocu-
lating with the filtrate give the disease
Of hog cholera to well animals. A long
series of experiments followed, which
are given in detail in bulletin No. ~, of
the bureau, and they all confirmed the
deadly work of the little invisible but
mighty micro-organism,
Although this successful diagnosis is
far from the cure of hog cholera, IT is
a long step in advance and one which
ought to lead more directly to a solu-
ton of this great problem. 1t might
be said, indeed, that In the discovery
Of the cause of this disease the prob
lem of its prevention and cure is half
solved.

USE or CEMENT IN BUILDING.

Inc growing prices which we have to
pay from year TO year for lumber. to-
gether with the fact that the latter
seems TO be of less value in many cases
as the price goes upward, points to the
~desirability of some other material that
VIII take the place of at least a part
of the lumber we use. That cement
VIII do this is surely the case. The
proper gravel to use is not attainable
IN many parts of our prairie
sidewalks are made in many of our
towns with quite fine sand. Anything
that viii stand the wear OF human feet
Tor years will make a good feeding
noor for hogs. This wet weather there
is need for some place to put feed tina
IL will not be wasted. There is cement
OF good quality made 0 far away,
and the cost of putting in a cement
floor should be less thar that of plank.
To accomplish this result, however,
most probably the farmer will have TO
do the work himself, for the men who
90 this work in most places van to
get pay for about three or four days
for each one they work.
There is nothing requiring special in
telligence in mixing sand and cement,
or more difficult labor than is usual
among farmers In general, and where
blS IildltIldl lS UOI 100 scarce the Iurln-
er will do well to experiment a little in
the use of this plan of building. For
making foundations it is very suitable.
There Is a tendency for the dealer TO
charge the farmer too much for the
cement. The best sorts are all called
Portland, though native in many parts
OF the country. They are the result of
burning and grinding limestone having
a certain proportion of clay. There was
a report of a contract for a large
amount of cement to be used in con-
struction of railroad bridges at about
o~ne-fourth what is charged in most
places by the dealers. An exchange
says: Cement should be had for $3.50
to So per barrel. II the dealer wants 81,
ask MIN why
The test recommends for the amount
of cement to use is to mix the other
materials intended to be used and fill
in all the water that ii will contain,
and this is the proper amount of ce-
ment TO use. The material must be well
mixed and the cement must be thor
oughly incorporated with it all. A lit
tie experience is needed, and tests can
be readily made. The top surface
should be richer in cement than the
lower layers. This is something that
our readers who are not posted on the
subject may well study.

A NORTHERN ORANGE.

The department of agriculture has
q commendable way of doing things,
says A. S. Neale. 1t sees a want and
at once starts some expert out to fill IL.
He is told to keep pegging away at this
one line OF work until he accomplishes
something definite. 1t may take years,
but if possible the work will be done.
It is this never-give-up spirit that
leads me to believe that we may gather
oranges as far north as the 10th par
allel, or the northern limit of the hardi-
est member Of the orange family.
There is only one orange that is
hardy in tine north. This is the lap
anese hedge orange, the fruit Of
which is absolutely worthless, being
small, very sour and full of seeds.
From it the cold resisting ability of
the proposed hardy variety must come.
DIR. III. J.. Weber, in charge of the
plant breeding laboratory in Wash
lngton, has the TASK of breeding a
hardy orange He began by fertiliz-
ing the Japanese orange flower with
pollen from the Florida orange bloom.
Several Of these crosses were made.
So far two promising hardy fruits have
been produced-the Rusk and a new
unnamed sort. The Rusk Is hardy as
far north as North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Oklahoma. 1t lacks the flavor
Of the Florida fruit, but Is much inn
proved over the Japanese parent, and
will be a useful variety.
The unnamed sort Is OF good size
and excellent flavor; a real orange.
DIR. Weber says that at present he
cannot define the northern limit Ct
this new variety, but that he had no
reason to believe 1t will not be as hardy
as the Rusk. He also states that the
limit Of hardness will not be reached
until we have an orange that will stand
as much cold ais the Japanese parent.
