Arithmetic For African Tribe.

At the recent meeting of the Presby-
terian general assembly at Denver the
reports on education showed that
$185,00O was spent In 1908 for work
among our people. Although this sum
seems large, 1t was not sufficient to
carry out properly the plans Of the ed
ucational department for Negro educa-
tion.
The American Tract society present
ed report through the Rev. Judson
Swift, secretary, showing that $780,
600 of the floating Indebtedness Of the
association was lifted in the last four
months through careful management
Of finances.
He was emphatic In speaking of the
necessity for tract work. He told of
the application Of tribe In southern
Africa for an arithmetic printed in the
native tongue and said that, while the
furnishing Of text books to the natives
was little outside the realm of the
tract society, he presumed that until
the Africans were able to compute the
number Of lions and elephants slain by
the ex-president they would be unwill-
ing to settle down to a study of Chris

PENSION FOR C0ACHMAN.
William Henderson, Who Served the
Morrises Forty Years, Retired.

William Henderson, who has been in
the employ of the John A. Morris fam
lily at Throgs Neck, n T., for the past
forty years, has been richly rewarded
for his faithfulness. Mrs. Morris de
cided recently that the automobile is
the proper carriage for the modern
woman Of fashion, so she took her last
drive with Mr.. Henderson on the box,
and upon returning to the house she
informed him that from that moment
the two bay horses, the landau and
victorias were his, and, besides these,
he should have house, land, coach
man to drive for him whenever he de.
sired and an income sufficient tos-keep
him comfortably the rest Of his life
Mrs. Morris was Cora Hennen Of
New Orleans, and Henderson was born
in the service Of her family The free
ing Of the slaves offered him nothing
SO attractive as staying with the same
old family which his father and moth.
er had served, so when Miss Hennep
married John A. Morris and came north
Henderson came with her. He is
known all over Westchester county al
most as well as the Morrises them.
selves. Several years ago he saved
Mrs. Morris life by stopping pair OF
runaways and nearly lost his own life
In doing 1t.

Well Informed Employee.

Daniel A. Adys, the Afro-American

TO COMBAT HOG CHOLERA.
Discovery Of Serum That VIII Pro-
tect Swine from the Dread
Disease.

The discovery OF the bureau OF ami
NAL industry OF the department Of ag.
riculture OF a serum that will protect
hogs from cholera has been taken ad-
vantage OF by several state agricult-
ural departments and appropriations
have been asked for from their legis-
latures for the purpose of providing
farmers with the preventive. With but
few exceptions no well-defined or or
ganized plan OF operation has been
adopted by any OF them to secure to
the farmers within their borders the
benefit of the governments discovery.
II the greatest good Is to be accom-.
plished, the farmer should not be con-
tent simply to reduce the losses from
hog cholera, but should undertake sys-
tematic efforts to eradicate the dis
ease.
Most farmers and stockmen are IA
miliar with the course which hog chol.
era usually takes when It appears in
neighborhood. A herd develops the
disease, which may not be recognized
as hog cholera for several weeks after
1t has made its appearance. Following
this the neighbor's hogs will become
infected, and then rapid progress Is
made until finally the losses In a sin
gle county may be enormous.
II is evident that In order to con-
troll the disease there must be some
means of confining It to the original
infestions. This has been attempt
ed by the British government
through the quarantine OF farms
where hog cholera existed and the
slaughter OF all infected animals, but
these measures have not always been
entirely effective. In this country
such methods would not be suitable
for, aside from the enormous expense
involved, 1t would be lmpracticable to
disinfect against such carriers OF dis
ease as dogs. crows, buzzards and the
like.

Spring Horse BUYING.

The spring horse-buying rush has
struck us again this year. Everybody
seems to want a new team of horses
or mules at this time of the year. The
man who has any to sell does not
have to go out to make a sale. Horse
buyers make beaten path to his
door. The man who is compelled to
buy at this season OF the year must
pay the highest price in order to get
what he wants,
II is an undisputed fact that the
growing of young horses and mules as
a side line to general farming is prof
table business. Colts have come to
be as good as cash at any time after
weaning. Every farmer ought to keep
at least a team of mares and breed
them every year. With careful han.
ding they will make a full team and
grow two good colts with very little
extra care and cost. Young horses
are not all profit. They cannot be
grown for nothing; yet every pound
of young horse or mule flesh repre-
sents probably more clear gain for
the amount of food consumed than that
of any other animal grown on the
farm.

MENAcES CATTLE AND SHEEP
Larkspur Poisoning One Of Serious
Problems Western Raneher
Has to Face.

Larkspur In my neighborhood here
on the Laramie plains does not seem
to be disastrous to either sheep or
horse raising interests but proves a
serious menace to cattle interests
every spring until all the plants have
finished towering Cattle seem par
ticularly fond of the weed as 1t is al
most the first new green forage OF the
season and while the loss from this
cause in native cattle is frequently
negligible It is apt to lead to the death
of entire herds that are shipped in
from other regions where the weed
is not abundant, says II. e. Cox, in
Denver Field and Farm. Larkspur
seems to flourish best in sandy soil
or on fats in preference to the hills.
Whenever possible keep the cattle
pastures until after the weed has bios.
somed. Cattle poisoned by larkspur
bloat rapidly become unable to re-
main on their feet and unless attended
to promptly are soon beyond aid.
In mild cases clipping an ear so that
the blood flows freely is frequently all
the action necessary for a cure. In
more aggravated cases raise the anil
mails tail and cut the vein on the un-
derside near its roots. When convent
ent a small handful OF baking soda or
saleratus thrown into the animals
throat and half pint of vinegar
poured I'm while holding the head up
causes enough fermentation to relieve
the gaseous pressure upon the stom-
ach.
In extreme cases the trocar and ca
nula seems to be the only remedy but
It should be used only as a last re-
sort save In the hands Of an expert
enced person. A well vouched for pre-.
scription for either larkspur or death
camas cases is the following: Thirty
grains of potassium permanganate and
80 grains of aluminium sulphate dis
solved in quart of water. It is a mis-
take to presume that alkali water is
the cause of death in cases OF this
kind. The reason for this presump.
ton is due In large degree to the fact
that whenever animals are poisoned
from various weeds they Immediately
strike out for water and are found
after death lying adjacent to water
holes, springs and accessible streams
The danger however was done with
the eating of the poison plants and
the Journey to water is only the nat
ural impulse Of the afflicted animals
when they feel their temperature ris

Watering Hard.worklns Horses.

Relative to the watering OF horses
while doing hard work Colorado vet.
erinarlan says:
After long, continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted OF fluid.
Nature calls for its replacement, and
this is the cause of thirst which is
so intense that II the animal is not
restrained at this time he may drink
much more than he needs.
The general custom almost univer.
sally followed of giving the morning
meal before water is not very objec.
tionable, either theoretically or prac
tically. At this time there is no de
pletion of fluid; consequently the
horse is not very thirsty and docs moi
drink rapidly or excessively, and ap
parently very little evil results from
this method, However. II 10 prefer
able that the horse should have an
opportunity to drink before the morn
Ing meal.

pieces inches by inches and 6
feet long are for sills; 2 pieces 2
inches by four inches and 6 feet long
are for ridge and plate.
II this plan is used 1t will be found
much more satisfactory than a plain
A-shaped house. The door in the roof
can be opened when the sun shines.
Sunshine is the best tonic known for
little pigs in early spring, and the
door is essential when the SOW needs
attention at pigging time as means
of entrance and as ls sometimes
the case a very hasty exit. We lose
a very small per cent. OF pigs far

Then is the time for the shepherd to
cultivate the virtue of patience.
The eve and lamb should be shut
up together in a small pen, out of
sight of the flock. She will at first
have to be held for the lamb to suck,
but as the little fellow grows stronger
he will usually help himself. II the
eve is driven into corner.
Sometimes when there is trouble at
birth and the lamb has to be taken
away the eve will walk of and pay
no attention to 1t, but confinement
with 1t few days usually solves the
difficulty. About the most hopeless
case is where one of a pair of twins
is disowned. A remedy is to shut the
eve up with her disowned lamb and
only let the favorite in long enough
to get the necessary nourishment.

PRONUNCIATION OF LATIN.
Continued Discussion Of an Old
Question-Views of Latinists

From the New York Sun
From a recent discussion in some Lon
don newspapers we infer that a certain
amount Of doubt still fingers in England
as to the way in which the Latin language
should be pronounced. There are really.
OF course. two questions. which often
seem to be confused: First, What was
the pronunciation of the Romans them
selves In. let us say. the Augustan ago?
Secondly. What pronunciation would IT
now be convenient and expedient to use in
a given modern country? About the latter
inquiry people may differ: the former is
no more matter of dispute than is any
ordinary question Of grammar
On the continent Of Europe what is
called in England the restored pronun-
citation" Of Latin has got far beyond the
point Of being even discussed by any one
who really studies the language 1t has
become a part of the grammar. Just as
much as Is the case government of the
propositions. In the former instance as In
the latter you may know the rule or you
may not-you do not argue about it. In
German schools boys are examined on this
point, and are expected to know the chief
evidence for right pronunciation. as they
must know the rules Of syntax. A Ger
