A GREAT INVENTION

Now comes another machine, q
most marvellous machine, q ma
chine which bids fair to throw
thousands upon thousands out Of
work, to dissolve many existing
inter-relations Of labor, even to
threaten certain phases of trades
unionism. This machine is worth
describing and commenting on,
1t is called the Sigafoos tunnel
ing machine, and, as its name i'm
plies, it digs tunnels. More than
that, it performs mining work, and
still further, it does away altogeth-
or with stamp mills at mines. This
is sufficiently comprehensive
claim for any one machine. The
vistas of industrial disturbance
which it opens up are large and
long. The machine is 20 feet long,
8 feet in diameter and weighs 5S,-
GOO pounds. 1t consists of two
frame heads connected by a hollow
six-inch main center shaft and
eight brace-rods There are ten
pulverising stamps, SO arranged a.
to pulverize the whole breast of an
S-foot tunnel. The machine leaves
no core. All the material is
crushed fine enough to be flushed
out by the streams of water which
are constantly fed through pipes
to the cutting face.
Each stamp consists of 4-inch
shaft, upon the front end of which
is the stamp-head, 2 feet in diane
ter, about 5 inches thick, and
weighing $50 pounds. On the
rear end of each shaft is tappet,
such as is used on a regular stamp
mill. The total weight of the
stamp-head and shaft is l,72O
pounds.
A revolving cam engages the
tappet and draws the stamp back,
COMPRISING powerful spring up
on the stamp shaft, which springs
back when released and produces
rotating, grinding blow. Al
each stamp delivers from 80 to 200
blows minute, the total amount
of power expended per minute on
the breast of the tunnel or mine
shaft is from I 600, 600 to q, 100000,
varying with the speed Of the ma
chine.
Electric power is used to operate
the device. Fifty to 50 horse
power suffice for all usual work.
The rate ut which the machine ad.
vances is about l25 feet day
through the hardest rock, with
correspondingly greater speed in
softer varieties. With this una
chine and two men, the work Of
100 men can be done, and done
far better than by the old method
Of drilling and blasting.

THE CATTLE TICKS.
The Cause, the Cost and the Remedy q.
Put Forth by a Government OfIicial

Nashville, Tenn Jan. ~, 1909
Editor of The DEMOCRAT STAR.
Because the splenetic or Texas fever
IN domestic cattle Il a great incubus
upon the farming interest and the
entire State Of Mississippi, aud
because great effort Is now being
made TO stamp Out the nuisance In
every section, by the United States
government, where the people are
ready aud willing TO cooperate, will
you not give me space wherein | may
set forth some vital facts as to the
cause, the cost, and the remedy for
that fatal malady, and most costly
contagion?
THE CAUSE
About the cause there Is now no
room for argument or debate. The
one and true cause It Is now demon.
strated is a microscopic germ which,
because 1t IL Invisible to the naked
eye, was for q long time not even sus
pected to exist at all. But the great
microscopes in the hands OF skilled
lexperts have settled the question for
ever. And then pestllence bearing
germs are alone conveyed and trans
mitted by that peculiar tlck-a para
site OF cattle-which Is known tt
science as margorophMs annalatus. There
are many tribes Of ticks, but this on'
is the very rattlesnake OF the entir'
tick family. And these hateful ticks
have alone been carried and scattered
, [all over and all through the South
. from the Rio Grande across whicl
they came into Texas from oil
! Mexico on the backs Of long horne'
i. Spanish cattle, even to the shores 0
the Chesapeake, by the careless move
meut and shipment Of tick infecte
: cattle, and by letting such cattle ru
unchecked at large, and In no othe
> way 10 the world. Such Is the verdic
= OF clear and demonstrated science.
THE COST.
. The yearly cost, tho utterly useles
tax, the sheer waste OF this contagi0
and most costly nuisance is reall
something appalling. The best est

But even murc--by keeping all cattle
of them for "a few months all pas

let all know this. No female tick
ever lays her myriad OF eggs-l 800 to
1900 cach--on the body Of cows or
steers. No, never. But they always
fall of and lay their eggs on the
ground. And 10 a few weeks, as
these eggs will usually hatch In 10 to
80 days, that pasture will fairly
swarm with seed ticks. And when q
fresh COW or steer comes browsing
along, or by chance lies down, then
these hungry seed ticks will crawl by
hundreds on It's body. They will get
down to the skin, and then bite, and
bore, and suck blood, and grow--and
breed again. But meantime they
always do and always will bite into
that COW or steer the germs OF the
deadly Texas fever. Here Is set down
in few words the true origin and
J genesis OF the hated Texas fever-and
the cattle ticks. And now just abso
lutcly keep all cattle of such pasture:
