Salt, which is an article in daily
use in the humblest homes has num-
Der of interesting facts concerning
it.
Salt is used all over the world much
in the same way as water, animals
and human beings alike craving for it.
In some parts of Africa children will
eat it in preference to sugar, and on the
Gold Coast a handful of salt will
purchase two salves.
The Germans call salt "the gift of
God" and used to believe that pray.
ers were better answered when offered
near salt. In the east salt is con-
sidered sacred; all oaths taken over it
are Invioable, and when an Arab offers
salt to a guest he guarantees his safe
ty.
The Romans believed that if the
salt put on sacrifice fell off it pre-
sage disaster. Hence the origin ofthe
bad luck" attendant on salt spilling.

Bob White Is a Pleasant Bird

Prof Sylvester D. Judd, an assis
tant in the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey OF the Department Of Agricul ture
who hanged himself few weeks age
at bis county home, near Baltimore
was the author OF a very interesting
little pamphlet lately issued by the
department, on the quail. The story
of Bob White is simply told and refer
ence to the interesting habits Of the
bird and its popularity on the menu
card are made.
There are even members of the
quail family in the United States.
The most beautiful species occur in
the Southwest and on the Pacific
Coast. OF the seven species only one,
the Bob White (Colinus Virginianus)
is indigenous to the Eastern United
States, where it ranges ftom Southern
New England to Florida and Texas.
The subspecies, the Florida Bob White
and the Texas Bob Whites are recog-
nized by scientists. Owing to the
climatic influences, the birds of Flori-
da and of Texas differ enough to be
distinguished as geographic races.
But wherever it occurs the Bob White
has the same call and varies little in
habits.
The Beb White proper is hand
some bird, but he is the plainest OF
the seven species, with the exception
of the cotton top, or scaled quail, of
the deserts of Southern Texas and
Arizona. The latter is slatey blush
on the upper parts, which are orns-
mented with scalelike markings, and
has a whiteish crest.
THE MOST CURIOUS
''The most bizarre and curious OF
ALL" said Professor Judd, "is the
Merns quail of the high broken plains
and mountain slopes of Southwestern
Texas, South New Mexico and Ari
zona."
1t looks not unlike a little guinea
ben. 1t is the gentlest and most un'
suspicious of the quail family and is
frequently killed with a stick or stone
by persons whs encoun er it in their
walks. The people in the region
which it inhabits have given it the
name of tool quail, on account of this
trait. The Bob White is the most
widely distributed and popular game
bird in the United Safes. While il
is rapidly being exterminated, its pre-.
ervatiOn could be secured very easily
for, unlike NEST wild fowls or animals
it does not vanish with the growth 81
agriculture, but increases when not
molested by hunters. The Bob White
is called a quail in the Northern, Wes
tern and Middle S ates, while in the
Southern States it is known as pa
tride Both names we're brought tc
America by English colonists. TIE
name Bob White is from the familiar
call noe OF the bird.
In some of it. characteristics the
bird differs strikinyly from other mem
ters of the family. For example, the
crest-a well-developed adornment o
several closely related American
quails-in Bob White is invisible ex-
cept when the bird is excited"
The common Bob White ranges
more or less generally over the east
ern half Of the United States and
Southern Ontario, except in the cold
er mountainous parts, from Maine to
Florida, and west to South Dakota
Kansas and Texas. In addition col
onies have been introduced and found
to thrive in Colorado. New Mexico

A MODEL STOCK AND DAIRY
FARM.

What is destined to. be one of the
largest and finest dairy farms in
Bucks county, is that Of Thomas
Devlin, wealthy iron man, of Phila-
delphia, who few years ago purchss-
ed the two farms formerly belonging
to the. late John Wildman,' near
Neshaminy Falls, in Middletown
township.
Mr.. Devlin is now erecting many
buildings, largest one being 1926 feet
by 40 feet, and about so feet to the
square. This enormous structure is
stone stable high, the under part to
be used as stables. and the overhead
for storing immense quantities of food
for COWS. Adjoining this building is
the dairy house, SO by 10 feet, which
will be fitted up with all the modern
appliances for sterlizing and produc.
ing the cleanest and most sanitary
milk. There will also be machinery
for making butter. The buildings are
patterned after the Wawa dairy farms,
Delaware county, Pennsylvania.
A wagon house, so by 36 feet, and
p stories high, has been completed.
This building is very complete, hay
ing wash paves for cleaning wagons
inside of the building.
Mr.. Devlin bought twelve head OF
cows at the Gardner sale at Downing
town, recently, and when they .s.were
brought to the farm and were tested
by DR.. W. II. Ridge, of near Trevose,
ten of them would not pass inspection
and were killed, as they were found to
have traces of tuberculosis. For the
COWS that were killed the State will
pay Mr.. Devlin $50 per head, as they
were registered stock. If these COWS
had not been registered only $25
would have been paid him. The price
Mr.. Devlin paid for the twelve COWS
was about 1900, and it is said he
will sue the former owner to recover
his loss. Dr.. Ridge frequently ex-
amines all of the forty some head on
the farm, and shey are I'M the very best
of health.
Raymond Devlin, son of Thomas
Devlin, is attending ..Pennsylvania
State College, where he is taking q
course in dairy farming, and he will
have charge of the dairy on the farm
when he graduates. John Brennan,
who has charge of Mr.. Devlln's farm,
it is said will also 60 the State College
about January lst next, and take q
couIae in agriculture

McCowan has retained his interests in the valley, consisting of a half a section of land northeast of the city and he expects to retain it for a great many years.

He believes it would be a bad thing for him if any thing else should happen. His inter- est in the matter, though no greater than that of any other man who owns a half section of land here, is great

enough to have brought him that lons distance.
 The same purpose brought J. Ernest Walker in from Los Angeles yesterday morning and others are expected from long distances today or tomorrow. Col McCowan and MT. Walker have been acknowledged to be level headed busi- ness men and this is the view taken of the situation. If the reelection Of MT. Fowler would be advantageous to them it would certainty be so to every man who is concerned in the future of the valley.
 Colonel McCowan visited the Indian school yesterday afte. noon The pupils who knew him crowded about him and manifested their satisfaction at again meeting long-absent friend.
 The school at Chilocco is the only one of the kind in the Indian service. It was for the organization of it that Colonel McCOwan was transferred from Phoenix. Business is conducted at Chilocco on an enormous scale. There are about 10000 acres of land. SGO head of cattle, and 150 head of horses, be- side other stock. There are 500 In- dians learning to be farmers. and farmers wives.

his opinion s5O,0O0,0O0 Will put the
yellow plague out of business in this

antness with Spain congress put $780,.
100000 in the hands of President NC.
Kinley to use as he deemed right In
repelling the foe OF course the war
cost us more than this sum, but there
were certain anticipatory measures
very essential to safety and success
which required the expenditure of the
S50,000,OO0. We were never in any
danger at all from spain, but every
body agrees that congress did right in
being liberal when II came to fighting
a foe.
Yellow fever has proved itself capa.
Bile Of infiicting death to citizens and
great injury TO commerce. In this re.
spect II is far more formidable than
even the timorous among MS believed
Spain to be. Therefore the approprla.
tion asked is not a whit too large
The bill making the request for this
sum appear to be a good one. II o.
tablishes a federal marine quarantine
and also provides for federal co-opefd-
ton with the different state authori-
ties toward preventing the spread OF
the disease as well as federal help in
stamping 1t out.
We are Of the opinion that once the
marine quarantine becomes operative
there will be little, II any. call for fei
eral aid in the states
During the civil war we understand
that the blockade OF southern ports
proved effectual in preventing an out
break of the fever. II this was accom-.
plished in those days. when science
knew absolutely nothing OF the dis.
ease, certainly, now that science is
aware of its origin and the medium
of its spreading there ought not to be
any doubt that quarantine will prove
equally as effective.

COTTON ACREAGE.


As the Record feared, all this talk
of holding cotton for Is cents Is per.
suading farmers that they can by or.
ganization, or as the effect of organi.

size, and reports are coming up OF
preparations for increased acreage in
all sections.

all-conclusiye fact that the crop OF
1904, which was 10,011,374 bales,
or 1858. 400 bales less than the crop
Of 1S9S-99 brought $3S4,77S,561 moro
money than the big crop.
Organization is powerful, but it is
powerless against over-production. II
is only a year since cotton was selling
at 6 cents. in the face of the uneX-
pected revelation of a 1900 000-bale
crop. Organization enabled the farm
ers by holding the surplus and reduc.
Ing the acreage, to prevent "A great
disaster last season. but organization
and all the eloquence OF Mr.. Harvie

pated

Mr.. Jordan's foolish lead but are ad.

prices, viz. by limiting supply Their
effort ought to be encouraged and
