ills one insane desire seems to be to
increase the size of his pile Of sticks.
The neighboring field Is placed under
sribute. First all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then. as
these are cleaned up. he goes further
and further away from home. and
every twig Is eagerly seized upon to
increase the size OF his pile of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile Of
sticks as refuge In time OF trouble.
On the nrst sound of alarm he rushes

is here that he often finds his de-

the wood rats pile of sticks make a

piled up the means OF his own agony.

1T POINTS TO WILLIAM ALDEN,

The Pontiac Press-Gazette in speaking
Of William c. McMillan's can 1idacy has
the following to say of that gentleman and
his little boomlet which is now backed by
two of Detroit's important dali which,
Hearst-like, he has purchased for the
furt lerance OF his boom: Mcmillan is
essentially an arstocrat. He is one Of
the most difficult men in Michigan to ap
proach and when a caller wishes to con-
verse with him it is necessary for the in
dvidual to appear at a certain hour,
present his card and have the same passed
through process of inspection requiring
several men and boys in blue coats before
he visitor can approach even the door
mat of his office. If this enforced exclu-
siveness is any example of the mans
nearness to the hearts Of the people then
we have mistaken signs and are com
oers Of the legislature have made up their
minds in the senatorial matter, if they will
consult the wishes of the thinking popu-
lation OF their respective districts, they
will easily find that the demand today, in
the way of senatorial timber, is for
fearless representative Of the people,
rather than any disciple OF back room
methods in the interest Of private wealth.
The Banner points proudly to the fact
that the candidate for senatorial honors
from this district, Hon. VIM Alden Smith
is a man of the people, in close touch
with the people and friendly and ap-
proachable by all. No demagogue in
William Alden. His heart is always in
the right spot.

AS TO SEED DISTRIBUTION.

WHATEVER may be true as to the situa-
ton which suggested the free distribution
of seeds by members Of congress, the
need or value of such procedure no
longer exists and it should be stopped.

of this state IN opposition to seed sending
from Washington is but one Of many such

be most appreciative Of gifts Of seeds. As

To stamp out Texas cattle fever.
This Is the hope of the Department of
Agriculture. The Department has been
working on the problem for some
time, and IL has almost been proved
to the satisfaction Of officials that the
tick which causes the fever can be
eradicated from a pasture simply by
keeping cattle out Of that pasture The
tick is not a herbivorous insect, and
1t will die out if the pasture is kept
free OF cattle. 1t is believed that IL
one pasture on a farm is always kept
free Of cattle over what might be
termed the life period of the tick, it
will furnish perfectly safe pasturage
for unaffected animals in case fever
breaks out in the rest of the herd
OF course, the Department of Agri-
culture has no right to go into State
and enforce the free pasturage policy,
and the matter cannot be, or at least is
not, always dealt with satisfactorily
by State officials. But in cases where
the Department is officially invited to
come into State and take charge of
cleaning it up, it is quite ready to do
so. Tentative arrangements have al
ready been made for this work with
the authorities in some States. and II
is believed that 1t will be quite pos.
sible to stamp out the fever and al
low the free interstate transportation

Of cattle, which is now prohibited. The
saving in money and the convenience
to shippers of this arrangement can
easily be understood.
To Introduce Cattle from India.
While this quarantine and extirpa-
ton work is going on, 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
portatlon 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

The Manure Pit.

Where is the wise farmer who would

corn or a load of some green crop for
a dollar bill, Yet there are thousands
Of agriculturists all over the country
who are doing practically this very
thing when they dispose of their barn,
yard manure for 81 a load. Others
are wasting the most valuable constitu.
ents of the manure they save. The
manure produced on the farm is its
most valuable asset.
There are in the United States, in
round numbers, 100000 horses, 61,-
100000 cattle, 47,000,00O hogs and AS
100000 sheep. Experiments have
shown that if these animals were kept
in stalls or pens throughout the year

carefully saved, the approximate value

RatLIesnake Den.

We were numbering in central Penn
sylvania during the summer of 1870,
our portable steam mill standing in
a piece of woodland, near a small
stream and within a short half mile
of a rocky ledge, known as Rattle
snake Den"
During the hot days, rattlers were
constantly met, and Harry" who
drove the daily stage through the "Nar-
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 l speak,
her beautiful arms and neck rival
ling the wilderness 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
into boards, others carrying the boards
to the yard, while my partner, Manuel
Motz, was personally tending to the
more skillful work at the planer, in

grabbed from a beam the bull whip,

with the slightest movement OF his
powerful wrist snapped it at the rep

THE WASTE OF BARNARD MANURE.

out evenly over these yards, covered
with coarse litter, and the whole kept
firmly packed by allowing animals to
run over it, thus preventing injurious
fermentation.
To Save All the Fertility.
A more elaborate and expensive
style of covered yard, plan for which
is furnished by the Department of
Agriculture, provides not only for the
required protection of both animals
and manure, but also affords an ex-
cellent grain chamber where feed can
be stored for convenient use. Under
the side roofs Is also afforded chance
for the storing of small tools and a
great variety of articles that are con-
tinually in the way when lying about
the farm buildings. 1t also provides
splendid protection to animals when
housed at night during the summer,
this roof protecting them from heavy
showers in the night and affording
good chance for exercise in the win
ter, as all the sides, except that
toward the south, can be protected
against cold winds through tempo
rary boarding.
Many stables are SO situated that
by adding a cheap lean-to, manure
pit" is easily produced. The out
side boarding of the lean-to should
be, for a part of the way at least, put
horizontally and hung in the form Of
fiat doors, so that the manure can be
easily loaded on wagon standing on
the outside of the building.
A great number of farmers who have
adopted manure sheds and covered

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
eminent 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
