CATTLE INFECTED WITH TEXAS FEVER.

annually would be s27, by each head of
each sheep So. The fertilizing value
of all the manure produced would,
therefore, be for horses, $459, 900;
cattle, $1,159,000; hogs, 1854, 600;
and sheep, S90,000,000, or a total of
s2,272,OOO,OOO.
These estimates are based on the
values usually assigned to phosphoric
acid, potash and nitrogen in CONNER
cial fertilizers, and are possibly some
what too high from a practical stand
point On the other hand, no account
is here taken of the value of manure
for improving the mechanical condi
ton and drainage of soils which is
almost as important a consideration
as it's direct fertilizing value. 1t is
generally conceded that at least one
third of the value of manure is lost by
present wasteful management or a
total loss to the country of over
$3.50, 100000.
Return Full Value to the Soil.
If farmer desires to maintain the
productiveness of his land, it is es-
sential that the amount of potash,
phosphoric acid and nitrogen removed
through the selling of meat, milk,
grain, hay, fruits, vegetables, etc.,
should be restored through an intel
ligent conservation of the barnyard
manure.
1t seems to be hard matter to in
duce the average farmer to abandon
the time-honored practice Of piling

RattIeSnake Den.

We were numbering in central Penn
sylvania during the summer of 1870,
our portable steam mill standing in
a piece of woodland, near small
stream and within a short half mile
of rocky ledge, known as Rattle
snake Den"
During the hot days, rattlers were
constantly met, and Harry" who
drove the daily stage through the MAR
rows" had won quite a local reputa-
ton from having killed more than a
score since the melting of the SHOWS.
The pretty young wife of our en-
gineer had charge of the boarding
house, and after the noon meal was
served, the dishes cleared away and
the house put in order, she was ac-
customed to bring her sewing into the
shade near our Planer, which was the
cleanest and coolest part of the mill,
and sit for an hour or two before COM
mencing the preparation Of the sup
per.
She was a sweet, attractive sight
that hot afternoon of which I speak,
her beautiful arms and neck rival
ling the whiteness of her simple frock,
the only female in our camp of rough,
brawny men, but one whom any of
us would have defended from all harm
at any risk.
Some of the men were rolling up
the logs on the skid, some saving them
to the yard, while my partner, Manuel
Motz, was personally tending to the
more skillful work at the planer, in

into practice the new idea that the
manure should be as carefully pre-
served from unnecessary loss, as
should any other farm product, after
he has for twenty years stored the
farmyard manure under the caves upon
the slope which forms one border of
the running brook.
Experiments made by various Gov
ernment experiment stations show that
the construction Of sheds or covered
yards for the protection of manure is
well worth while. The manure from
the horse and cattle stables and the
sheep and calf pens should be spread

Basily be understood.
To Introduce Cattle from India.
While this quarantine and extirpa-
don work is going on, a similar expert
ment on different lines directed to
the same end will soon be under way.
There have been imported to some
Of the Texas ranges specimens of the
Indian sacred cattle, and it has been
found that they were immune to the
Texas fever. Apparently there is an
oil in the skin that is -repugnant to the
tick. At any rate they will not har-
Dor the parasite. The half-bloods and
even animals containing but one-six-
teenth part Indian blood have been
found immune, and they make just as
good beef cattle as can be found
There are very stringent laws
against the importation of foreign
stock into this country without thor
ough examination and quarantine;
therefore it is risky to import stock
from so far away as India without
especial provisions for its examination.
Mr.. A. S. Borden of Pierce, Tex, has
arranged, however, with the Agricul-
tural Department to make a large i'm
portation Of the immune Indian cat
tie, and has already left for British
India to pick them out. The Depart
ment of Agriculture will send a spe-
cial veterinary after him, and the first
shipment of about 100 head will be

I was just then acting as engineer
and fireman, and as I happened to
look in their direction, to my horror,
saw an immense rattler, coiled within
q foot or less of Mays back, his body
swaying to and fro, and his angry eyes
shining like sparks of fire. 1 was lit
orally paralyzed with terror, for
though but twenty feet away, it seemed
as if the blow would be struck be-

Motz must have seen the snake at the
same moment, for I heard his voice
clear and sharp above the roar of all
the machinery, "May, there's a rattle
snake that will strike if you move; sit
perfectly still" AS he spoke he
grabbed from beam the bull whip,
which we used for our OK team, and
with the slightest movement of his
powerful wrist snapped it at the rep
tile, as if striking at a fly. I remem-
Der thought what a fool action that
was, why didn't he dash forward and
at least attract its attention! But 1
looked again and the body lay quiv-
ering and twisting, but with broken
neck
"Pretty close call, May" he said
cheerily, "but it's easy when you know
the trick
May had been perfectly cool and
obedient till the danger was past, and
then, womanlike, she quietly swooned
away, and for a day or two we did our
own cooking.
