Editorial Answer: With the
exception of what relates to the
moon, all these questions were
answered not far from the time
that they were asked; and for
the sake of brevity, reference is
made to previous articles Oh peas
and potatoes.
The time of the moon when
crops should be planted or har-
vested has to do with the period
of agricultulture when signs and
charms received more consider
alton than the laws of nature.
1t is on parity with proving
the existence of the so called dis
ease of "hollow horn" among
cattle, by saving off the horn
and finding it to be hollow, when
nature regularly makes cattle
with hollow horns because the
Creator evidently thinks that
hollow horns for cattle are pre-
ferable. 1t is on parity with
driving nail into pear or an
apple tree, with the idea of ward
ing off disease. 1t is on parity
with hanging a horseshoe In a
tree to make ii do well, some
saying that the horseshoe will
give the tree good luck. and 9TH
ers saying that the iron in the
horseshoe will give the tree vigor
ouslite. 1t is ona parity with car
rying rabbit foot in ones pock-
ct to keep of bad luck. It's on
parity with the "charms" sold
by voodoo doctors, to bring good |
luck ward fl bad luck, 10 put

the whole length of the imapin
alton OF the ignorant and super
stitious.
No man who has conducted
series of tests with intelligence
and care has found that the moon /
has any appreciable influence on
crops. Those whose mental de- /
veIopment is such that they have
not passed out of the stage in
which charms and signs are do
minating influences are not like
lv to get over their belief in the
influence of the moon ON crops
but ii should be regarded as
significant that those who re!v
on charms and signs instead of

Ed. Lancaster News:
The peach crop in this state this
year is great dea larger than
last year. The supply is greater
than the demand, and thousands
of find peaches are simply being
wasted, as they cannot be shipped
after they rlpen and there is not
enough demand in northern
markets to consume the enorm-
Gus supply OF peaches and war

them and shipping while they

they have to be when they are to

OF peaches, watermelons are sell
ing dirt cheap and those who
raise them and usually make
nice little sums of surplus mon
ey out of this crop will not be
able to realize much this year.
The prospects for a cotton crop
arevery fine at present. Through
the central section of the state.
we find, that while the crops

Danger in Crimson Clover
Fed to Horses.

gresslve Farmer.
A veterinarian stopped me on
the street today to show me a
ball he had taken from a horse.
1t was rather larger than an or.
dinary baseball and he said that
in a post examination he
removed eleven such balls from
one horse, in which they had
burst the intesiines. He said
that the crimson clover hay the
horse had been fed had been cut
as soon as in bloom, and in the
balls there was no appearance of
the stiff hairs that form on the
heads, but the ball was made up
of felted layers of very fine ma
terial like the hairs that cover
the entire plant. He showed
me part of one ball that he
had cut open. and this showed
layers of felt as tough as an ordi-
nary felt hat, aud not a sign of
stiff blossom hairs couldbe found.
Some time ago another veteri-
nary practitioner in this State
told me that he thought that
the advice in regard to the cutt
ing early was wrong, and that it
is not the blossom hairs that in
jure the horses, for that in his
practice he had found the early
cut clover more dangerous than
that allowed to get more ripe.
1t seems evident that we must
fight shy of crimson clover as
horse feed. In the case first
cited very valuable horse was
killed, and killed by clover that
was cut early, too. Then, if the
early cut clover is dangerous to
horses, the later cut should be
more dangerous, and it seems to
me to be the part of wisdom TO
abandon crimson clover as food
for horses. For Illuminating ami
mails it will probably do no
harm, but those who have made
crimson clover hay should be
very cautious indeed in feeding
it TO horses.
AS a rule, | dislike TO use a
good iced crop as manure direct,
bu In the case of crimson clover,
we have a crop that comes at
season when the curing is diff
cult, and it is the hardest of all
the legumeS to make into good
hay. But as a green manure

crop like potatoes or cotton or
corn, it mas great value, and |
would rather advise its use in

Condemn Cattle in Michiqan.

Three federal government officials
and the three members of the Mich
igan live stock sanitary commission
spent eight hours visiting farms in the
vicinity of Ellen, Livonia township,
Wayne county. and discovered 100
cases OF foot and mouth disease. The
entire 100, found on five farms, will
have to be destroyed The slaughter
ing of the infected cattle is held in
allegiance pending the gathering of an
adequate staff of inspectors to take
care OF the situation here. But the
Michigan commission took the initia
tive in declaring a quarantine on the
farms where cases of the disease were
found, and men taking care of the
stock or coming in contact with the
cattle were prohibited from visiting
other farms. After conference of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Chief Melvin of the bureau of animal
industry with state officials a quar-
antine was ordered against Michigan
cattle similar to the one enforced In
Pennsylvania and New York.

While ten government inspectors
under DR.. Durfee, of Buffalo, are re-
newing the search for infected cattle
in Livonia township, other inspectors
under DR.. p. II, Mullowney are at
work disinfecting the farms on which
infected cattle which have been killed
were found. DR.. Durfees men will
make thorough search throughout
Livonia and surrounding townships,
making farm to farm canvass. DR..
Durtee's party went TO Elm and will
visit all the farms on the way from
the electric station to Elm. The dis
injecting crew will do their work
thoroughly. Stalls in which infected
cattle were kept, and managers from
which they ate, will be torn out and
destroyed. The government will fur
nish lumber to rebuild. A strong acid
solution will be sprayed into every
corner of each barn. After a place
has been thoroughly disinfected a test
will be made to determine whether
any germs survive. A COW will be
placed in the barn and allowed to re-
main for a week or ten DAYS. If she
then shows no symptoms of the hoof
and mouth disease it will be consid-
cred certain that the germs of the dis
ease have been thoroughly banished.
All OF the infected cattle have been
killed and buried
DR.. c. o. Durfee investigated a false
report at Lansing that diseased ami.
mails had been found there. DR..
Adolph Eichorn has gone to Reed City
to investigate a similar report.

is expected that by about the middle

shipped by hunters to Detroit will be
likewise treated Before the inspectors
will permit their delivery to persons

died with the disease, if the dag
nosis of DR.. M. r. Granger, a local

there appears to be little room for
doubt on this score.

Ellen, are affected, the milk from

According to DR.. Granger the
cattle have all the symptoms Of
aphthous fever, commonly known as
the foot and mouth disease. In
every case the hoofs became very
sore and liberated, the mouth
blistered and the gums swollen and
innamed. There was frothing at the
mouth, the udder became swollen

The state sanitary live stock com

against Wayne county. in which the
Detroit stock yards are located, as 2
result of the discovery of hoof and
mouth disease in Livonia township
which was followed by an order from
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson quar-
antining the state. The state com
mission forbid the shipment of cattle
sheep or swine into the county except
for immediate slaughter and absolute
ly prohibited the shipment of any cat
tie out Of Wayne county into another
county. After a further conference
with Secretary Wilson and DIR. A. ID
Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal
industry. the state commission began
an inspection of the local stock yards
and will trace every shipment of cat
tie recorded on the books of the yard
for the past so days. Inspectors will
be sent after every lot of cattle which
have been shipped from the yards
anywhere in the state during that
time, and where cattle have been
shipped to outside states, the author
tiles at their destination will be noti-
fed.

French and Good Roads.

The first international road con.
gress, recently in session in Paris, was
undoubtedly inspired by the thrifty
impulses of the French people. They
have invested several hundred million
dollars in building macadam roads, of
which they already have $4,000 miles.
Their problem is to find means by
which the principal thus invested shall
not be lost A kind of road had devel.
oped that met, there and here, the
traffic for which it was intended Iron
tires wore off just about enough dust
from the coarser fragments of stone
composing the road to replace that
carried off by wind and rain. In this
way the larger stones were cemented
together and a smooth, impervious
shell formed over the surface. But
the pneumatic tire has submitted the
road to a wholly different wear, and
the world must think out anew it's
bodybuilding problem. No one ques.
tons the possibility of automobile.
proof roads, but all the ways OF build.
ing them now known appear decidedly
expensive.

THE OPEN DOOR.
The Acknowledgements Agreement 10
Far-Reaching.

FarHeaching.
Secretary Root and Baron Taxa
hira will, within the next few days,
sign the apanese-American agree
ment which will, in effect. inaugurate
a new policy in the far east and make
America more than ever the guardian
of the "open door"
The prevailing opinion is that 1t
supersedes the British-Japanese al
lance and constitutes a defensive al
lance OF the United States and Japan
Tor the protection OF mutual interests
in the Chinese empire and also makes
the two coutries the guardians of the
territorial integrity of China.
There are those who think that Sec
rotary Root desired the arrangements
to smooth out complications that have
arisen since the advent of the Japan
csc in Manc huria.
The members of the Japanese lib
eral party take the agreement to mean
that 1t will be unnecessary for Japan
to proceed further with her naval ex-
pansion, which is costing so much
money.
The new Japanese cabinet has al
ready announced policy of economy
with regard TO naval expenditures.
II is believed every European nation
is in sympathy with the agreement.
The American government has fully
sounded the nations of the world
having interests in Asia as to their
attitude on the subject of the new
agreement. These included the gov
ernments who heartily gave their as
surance to the. open door" policy so
warmly advocated and consistently
urged by John Hay.
All that remains TO be done is to
agree on the text. This work has made
splendid progress and it was stated
at the state department that in all
probability the agreement would soon
be made public

Blaming the Women.
BELDING,

Against whom are we TO charge the
social distinctions that now curse the
circles OF Professionalism in this coun-
try, II not against the women? Men
are naturally democratic. Left to
themselves they seldom draw sharp
social lines or insist upon convention
al distinctions. What do we find in
the one sphere where they are SUI
preme-the political world? How
much class distinction exists there?
Not so with women. They are more
gregarious, but at the same time more
conventional. Is not fashion their
standing determination at this bar? If
rich, they are the more exclusive; If
poor, the more sensitive. Social lines
existing in the world without they
have extended into the sacred in
closure of the church, until to-day
there is no more conventional body
among us than the well-to-do Christian
church, declares John Balcom Shaw
ID. d., in the Homiletic Review. Moth
ing hurts us so much as this one con-
dition, and for its existence | hold our
women almost exclusively responsible.
Let them only say the word, and
mean 1t, and this state of affairs will
be gone in week
