v. r Glbbs Resigns as Pastor.

Rev. W. X. Gibbs, Of Sheridan,
passed through the city Monday en-
route home from Liberty, Lyon
county, where he has preached for
ten years. He resigned his PASTORAL
care of that church Sunday much to
the regret o! his congregation whom
he has served so long and faithfully.
His resignation was caused by the
distance Of the charge from his home
and the inaccessibility, coupled with
his age, and not on account Of any
friction or unpleasantness. The
church has a great affection for Bro.
Gibbs and be has a like word for
them.

as Chief Magistrate have been won
not as an agitator for new law but as

Antitrust act by which the power

No new legislation was needed for
the prosecution Of the rebate cases
under which the Standard Oil Com.
pany has been fined $50, 24O, 600, a
dozen railroads have been punished
and the unlawful practice virtually
eradicated. All this has been ac-
complished under the Elkins act,
and the punishment of the railroad
rebaters could have been better ac-
complished under the original Inter
state Commerce act Of 1887, from
which the prison penalty was elimi-
mated with Mr.. Roosevelt's consent
in 1903.
No new legislation was needed for
the investigation Of Hartman swim

revelations were all made under pow
ers conferred upon the commission
by the act Of 1887.
No new legislation was needed to
hunt down and convict Senator Mitch

land thieves, their aids and accom-

simply by vigorous enforcement Of

Cabbage Rot.

The disease known to the cabbage
growers as black rot, or stem rot, has
come into prominence within the last
few years, and Is said to be a serious
hindrance to cabbage growing in sew
eral States. From a recent farmers
bulletin prepared by the chief of the
division of vegetable pathology, 1t APP
pears that no way Is known of curing
the disease or of entirely Kidding
locality of 1t when once 1t Is we'll es-
tablished. The whole subject of treat
ment may be summed up in one word
preventing. The disease Is not con-
fined to the cabbage, but attacks num-
Der Of species belonging to the mustard
family. The planting Of other crops
for a long series of years Is said to
be the only satisfactory way to get rid
Of this disease Of the cabbage when 1t
has once become serious.

How Book Learning Pays.

| Book learning" for farmers has
been thing to laugh at In the past.
1t used to be thought that an almanac
and one or two patent Office reports
were all a man needed to make him
competent to run a farm" We are
getting past that day, and doing 1t at a
pretty fast pace, In our times. Think
Of the report just published by the
| commissioners appointed a couple of
years ago in the State of Louisiana to
investigate crop pests, with particular
reference to the boil weevil and the ter
rible injury 1t has wrought to the cot
ton crop. For two years these commits
sioners have been studying and exper-
imenting on the State farms In the
Red river region, and now they send
word out to the world that they have
succeeded in growing cotton that can
not be hurt by the boil weevil Just
how they have done this we must wait
to learn. The great fact Is that they
have done 1t. Think what this will
mean in money to the farmers Of the
cotton growing States Nor will the
benefit Of their work stop there. Other
people than the cotton growers are in
terested in cotton. We all have use
for the plant and its products. From
the poor man down in the most obscure
quarter Of the city to the millionaire
In his beautiful home, we all need cot
ton In some form or other. And "book
farming" cuts the cloud which has
hung over the men who grow the plant
and lets the sunshine out all over the
world

Summer Pest.

The illustration shows one of the most
destructive of the summer insect pests,
which attacks both fruit and orna-
mental trees. 1t Is known as the vel
low-neck caterpillar. and is usually
found in numbers along the branches
of trees, feeding on the foliage until
the limb Is entirely denuded, when they
migrate to another limb. The female
deposits the eggs on the leaf of the
tree, where they are usually Matched
during July, and the young insects be-
gin feeding on the leaves.
The full-grown moth is shown in the
upper part of the illustration. The
caterpillar is about two inches long,
with dull yellow band just back of
the black head. This pest Is familiar
to most farmers, for it may be found
in nearly every section of the country.

Dog Sausage No Joke.

The old joke about eating "hot dog"
Is no joke in Germany any more. for
no less than 1000 CANNES of various
breeds were slaughtered and eaten by
the subjects of Kaiser William last
year, according to n report from Consul
George N. lift at Annaberg. The eat
Ing of horse meat seems to be quite
general in Germany, for no less than
lS2,OO0 horses were slaughtered for
human food in 1906.
"Horseflesh is very generally advcr-
tised IN the German papers," says
consul Int especially In those In
large Industrial centers, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market
Which makes 1t a speciality, claiming
Tor 1t n higher percentage of nourish-
ment than that of beef, veal, mutton
or pork. Neither Is it unusual to find
advertisements Of dog meat or for the
purchase of dogs for slaughter. In the
city of Cassel recently the police, In
searching for lost dog, discovered n
private slaughter house and arrested
the proprietors, who were apparently
making regular business of stealing
and killing dogs"
In the city of Chemnltz alone, Con-
sui lift reports, Cos dogs were slaugh-
tered for human food in 1905, this be
Ing an increase of eighty eight over the
previous year.

sure greater accuracy. Accordingly he
designed the implement shown in the
Illustration. 1t comprises pair of
knives, containing numerous cutting
teeth. The knives are attached to piv-
oted handles, one knife moving over
the other. When the latter are grasp
ed, one In each hand, considerable
power can be applied to the cutter,
whereby over foot of the hedge can
be trimmed in single cut. 1t would
be impossible, with this tool, to trim
too much In spots. forming an uneven
surface to the hedge. The extreme
length of the blades insures an even
cut throughout.

are removed by singelng with torch.
The protein content In the air-dry ma
terial ranges from to 10 per cent,
the fruit being the richest part. The
cacti compare favorably with many
forage plants. Heretofore the great
1ifficulty in the way of utilizing cacti
as forage has been the spines, but
since they can be removed by the torch
a large amount of cheap forage Is made
available to the stockmen of the arid
plains.

They are for this reason the great
