TOXIC, July 27.-Absence of re-
ports from the prefecture of Hok
kado, concerning prolonged earth
quake shocks, and violent eruption
of Mount Usu, accompanied by an
upheaval of Usu bay and the flight
of thousands of natives from the
vicinity of the mountain in panic,
leads today to the fear here that
the CONFUSION may prove more Sc
we're than was at first reported.
The absence of further details
regarding conditions in southern
Yezo following the eruption causes
apprehension that the authorities
of Hakodate and other cities in the
southern part of the island are I'M
able to cope with the situation and
relieve the homeless and starving
refugees. The first advices re-
ceived from Yezo indicated that
the villages on the mountainside
were destroyed; that the volcano
crumbled under the mighty pres
sure eXerted by forces within it's
cavernous depths, and that the
floor of the bay of Usu rose sud
denly, driving the waters of the
bay inland and carrying vessels to
destruction. 1t is believed here
that the ships referred to were
fishing craft and it is hoped that
the crews escaped death.

IS required for consumption. TO be
sure, iuck has been with US in that

duced an unusually large crop every
other year in the United States. But
It IS not only thinkable, but highly
probable, that at any time we may
have two or three or more moderate
crops in succession. It is hard to
estimate the human misery that
would result from this Very probable
event, as stated above. the United

proximately 18,S50,OO bales of 500
pounds net weight, while in that year
the production was only 16,500,o00
bales. IN 190S-09 the consumption
was at least 100000 bales. While
the production owing to the abnorm-
ally large American crop was about
the same amount.

Buying Cows.
Where al Of the cows in the four~

IS desirable, therefore,, to acd to the

been used. This has the advantage Of
enabling the owner to dispose of his
calves to better advantage.
The purchase of cOWS, however, IS
ALWAYS attended with the danger Of
introducing contagious diseases into
the herd, especially tuberculosis and
contagious abortion. For this reason
the PURCHASING Of cows should be car

Of course, always in order to buy COWS

pliehed much more satisfactorily by
