Young Farmers.

HuSoaEdry has assumed an import
ance rever before accorded to it dur
ing tho past quarter Of century. The
agricultural lands OF Europe are fully
DEVELOPED and there is an annual short
age OF production as compared with in
creased consumption as represented In
the growth of population. England is
annually drawing larger supplies from
the UUftei States, Australia, Argentina
and IBdia to support her population.
Vast works OF irrigation are being con-
structed on the Nile and In India to
increase agricultural production for the
maintenance OF the native population
and for home consumption.
Land cultivation is annually engross-
ing Increased attention. and agriculture
from life OF primitive drudgery has
advanced to a dignified profession. The
young farmer who Is n land owner is
now man OF Importance in national
affairs. He is a producer whose COM
mobiles are Indispensable to the well
fare OF society. If the farmer would
limit production TO his individual
necessities fG- only one year. famine
and anarchy would triumph over mod
ern civilization. No wealth produced
by human endeavor has the intrinsic
valle Of the products OF the soil which
sustain life. If man had all the gold
in the world he would gladly exchange
It for agricultural commodities when
those products were necessary 10 sus-
tain life.
Lard cannot fail its owner and gives
the young farmer a dignity and indie
pendetlce lot vested in other property.
The farmer produces from the soil
more ~ the necessities of life than any
other occupation. No man is so nearly
the architect of his own fortune as the
young farmer. In other lines of indi-
yidual endeavor the labors of the in
1ividEal are either appropriated by
another or else massed I'm an indivisi-

Epidemic Among Horses.

Efforts are being made by the State
Pennsylvania Society for the Proven.

inmate an epidemic of mango which
has broken out among horses in Phil
adelphia. The disease. according to
DIR. Horace HOskins of The state board,
has been brought to Philadelphia
| through horse importations from the
West. The trouble began at least six
months ago. when preventive measures
were taken. but vigilance has since re-
Taxed. and there are now approximate
ly 1.5Co horses under quarantine and
the disease IS spreading rapidly.
The disease is not confined to horses
alone. according to Col. f. b. Ruther-

Weed Seed in Manure.

Prof. Oswald. Of the Maryland sta
ton has undertaken to obtain more
definite information on the vitality of
weed seed in manure by studying TIE
effect of the fermentation of manure
handled in different ways and of pass
ing through the digestive systems of
various animals on the vitality of va
rious weed seeds. including seeds of
about 30 of the worst weeds.
In experiments in which the manure
remained for six months in n barnya I'd
heap and for short while Is piles. as
when shipped In car load lots from
cities, it was found that III the first
case there was no danger and in thu
second case little danger OF distribut
ing live weed seeds.
In the experiments In which the
weed seeds were fed TO yea Ring steers
and the manure handled In various
ways. ii was found that where the
manure was hauled directly from the
stable as top dressing. an average
Of only 12.S per cent of the seeds fed
to animals terminated: where manure
was hauled directely from the stable
upon the land and plowed under, 2.3
per cent of the seeds fed to animals
came up; where the droppings remain
ed on the pasture fields unadulterated
as they fell, an average of only 81 per
cent of the seeds fed TO animals ger
minated.
