his desire to help the practical farmer
by imparting to him information on
various Investigations made and con-
illusions reached by his numerous ex-
pertinent stations publishes from time
to time bulletins telling of most every
thing from how to cultivate the crops
to the feeding of the stock and the
baking of biscuits for the household
This information was for a time
given to the monthly experiment sta
ton records, which was declared to be
too large too expensive and too techni-
cal to carry the results to the practical
farmer but the bulletins furnish
comprehensive review of the work ac-
complished at the experiment stations
which become of immediate value to
practical sgriculturists.
The latest bulletin treats of "inocula-
ton and lime for alfalfa" Citrus Gull
ture in southern Texas" Native hays

Colonel Swope first began to show
alarming symptoms about s O'Clock
yesterday morning. He had eaten
breakfast in bed, as usual since his re-
cent indisposition. Then he had his
nurse read the morning papers. His
breathing became difficult, and he re-
quested the attendant to lay him down
in bed. There was a slight CONFUSION.
Apparently he was suffering much dis
tress.

Then he lost the power of speech.
By noon he had lapsed into a condition
of complete Inconsistencies.

bacco or whether they will be
afforded protection by the militia if
they do not pool it.

that the governor gives

WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
New York Entertained a Million
Visitors Last Week.

New York. Oct. 4.@Now that the
New York end of the Fulton
| celebration is practically closed, sew
eral interesting facts are disclosed.
there were one million persons resid-
ing at distant points who were in the
city all of the week. This is shown
by the hotel registers and the in
On each individual day of the cele-
bration there were another million
persons who came to the city from
nearby places. as shown by the in
at least two million visitors in the
city during the week, which is be-
Heved to be the record for any city
for any event
The subway. which was constructed
to carry a maximum of 100000 pas
sengers daily, carried more than a
million every day during the week.
The same figures applied also to the
elevated railroad and at the end of
the week the two systems had car
without single interruption to the
service or an accident This also
breaks all record for the transporta-
ton of passengers.
A matter of comment has been the
few arrests made during the celebra-
ton. which averaged only from ten
to twenty a day. OF the total num-
Der of arrests there were only 81 on
charges OF picking pockets, the ma
jority of arrests being for rowdyism
in the crowds. Previous to the cele-
bration, the police gathered in all
suspected persons and most of them
were sent to Blackwell's island on
charges of vagrancy until the fes-
tivities closed.
The assistance of detectives from
all the large cities in the country
was of great service to the local
force. Such adequate arrangemen
were made previously by the police
that few criminals cared to run the
chance of coming here during the
celebration
The emergency hospitals estab-
Iished where the crowds were great

cases during the week. nearly all of

them being women who had tainted

drowned when a launch was struck
by a tug near the battleships in the
early part of the week.
