ly was this true of those living in cit.
les. In the more sparsely settled
country districts the progress of the
disease was arrested. One writer has
thus spoken of the devastation of those
two awful years:
So strong was the instinct of self pres
ervatfon that in many cases when one
member of a family developed the first
symptoms of the malady the rest of the
family rushed from the house and the
city, leaving the victim to die alone.
The custom of handshaking was abol-
ished for fear of contagion. Nobody went
out OF doors except upon the most .neces-
sary errands. Old acquaintances recog-
nized each other only by O curt. nod
Many persons walked in the middle of the
street to avoid the breath of pedestrians
and Unanswered to pass to windward of
all they encountered.
Believing that the smoke Of gunpowder
was preventive. they burned 1t at inter-
walls in the houses. Tobacco smoke many
believed in. Even women and children
were seen with cigars and pipes in their
mouths constantly. Others carried tarred
rope In their hands and in every pocket
and hung camphor bags about their necks.
Many chewed garlic for the same purpose
and carried sponges saturated with vine
gar dangling from their buttons and in
hailed the smell of it from smelling bot
ties.
Funerals were given up altogether, and
the most prominent citizens were uncere-
moniously placed in the death cart and
laid away in the cemeteries.
Many on feeling the first symptoms of
collie and nausea, believing a painful
death certain, committed suicide
Several on their way to the hospitals
leaped from the ambulances and fed, pur-
sued by the driver, through the streets,
none daring to stop them for fear of con-
tagion.
Subsequent visitations of cholera in
America occurred in 1852, 1868 and

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Yarded Hens Law Best.

A very successful egg farmer once
said that In winter he always had
something In his coops for his hens to
pick at-scattered grain, a cabbage
hanging up, and even bones with a
little meat on them, always something
to find in order that his flock should
not contract lazy habits. In this he was
humoring the natural instinct of the
animal, says NJ. K. Boyer in American
Cultivator. A hen let run at large is
almost always hunting, picking and
cratching-first at blade Of grass,
then a bug, then a worm, and next q
seed.
Experiments have proved that yard
ed hens are more prolific layers than
those allowed free range. 1t. costs
more to keep them, but the returns in
eggs are larger. Yarded hens are fed
on food that will make eggs, and nat
urally this food is converted into the
object for which it is intended. On the
other hand, the same food fed to fowls
that are on range Is more apt to go
to the making of fesh-bone and mus
than to the making Of eggs.

Deal Fairly With Every Candidate

Guardian Journal: So far there
have been no charges alleged against
Judge Hall except his refusal to re-
sign his position on the Supreme
Bench whihc he has never occupied.
There is quite a difference between
his case a ndthe Blanchard case. The
opponents of Judge Hall who are
disposed to treat the matter fairly
and honestly have ceased to refer to
the charges that were brought by
parties too narrow to argue the case.
Ii Judge Hall were sitting on the
bench and deciding contested cases,
as Judge Blanchard was, we would
expect him to resign; but under no
conditions could he occupy the seat
till after the primary election has
been held in which the contest is
decided. We believe in dealing fairly
with every candidate, and do not
think paper can maintain it's pres
tige by continually urging some
point against tn candidate whom it
opposes which is manifestly wrong
and unfair.

Senator Thornton.

Guardian Journal: In our judg-
Dient the case of Senator Thornton
is more one of pity and regret tl,an
otherwise. He went further with the
Republicans than they expected. AS
for that matter, however, it would
be far better if he would sit with the
Republicans and class himself as
such. He is of no value to the DEM
ecrats, and really worth nothing to
the Republicans, unless in case of
close vote when he could go to their
relief. He is not posted on the ques-
lions and issues that divide the two
parties and hence not capable of de-
batting them. We doubt if there is a
representative in either house that
has conducted himself so as to be
looked on in such disgust and pity
as Senator Thornton.

in New Orleans last week between
Good Government leaguers,. Messrs.

CORN
FOR MAKING SILAGE
Grain Should Not Be Cut Until
Kernels Are Glazed.

It is Of great Importance to know at
what stage gorn should be cut to Sc
cure the best results, writes W. Ell.
jenkins in Country Gentleman. Nutri-
ment is stored up in the corn plant
rapidly as it approaches maturity.
When the corn is tasseled it contains
but eight-tenths Of a ton of dry matter
per acre, or only one-fifth of what 1t
contains when fully ripe. When in the
milk 1t contains nearly three times as
much dry matter as when fully tas-
seled
Only about seventeen days are occu-
pied in passing from the milk to the
glazing stage, yet in this time there is
an increase in the dry matter of one
and three-tenths tons per acre. This
shows the great advantage of letting
the corn stand until the kernels are
glazed. After this period the increase
In dry matter is but slight
Corn should not be cut until the ears
are out of the milk and most of the
kernels glazed and hard In case the
weather has been so hot and dry that
the lower leaves have been fired. the
corn should be cut before the ears are
quite so far advanced. Much ripper
corn will keep at the bottom Of the silo
better than at the top because of the
greater pressure, which excludes the
air more completely.
Though corn is the most important 1t
Is by no means the only silage crop.
Legumes, cereal hays, roots and sugar
beet pulp are all used for silage pur-
poses. The great superiority of corn
over roots as silage crop in this
country has resulted in discouraging
the growing Of mangels, turnips and
the like for this purpose.

Movable Roosts.

Roosts in a poultry house should
never be permanently fixed; neither
should they be arranged one above the
other like the rungs of ladder The
best arrangement is to have a support
like we have on the sides of a bed
with slots cut for the ends Of the
roosts to fit into like the stats of bed
stead.
The roosts may then be removed and
cleaned by scalding, spraying or
scorching, as the owner prefers. 1t is
much handler to get about in build
ing where the roosts are easily re-
movable. Seldom do we see any other
arrangement in the newer buildings,
but many of the old buildings seen
about the farms still have the ladder
like arrangement.

VentiIate the Henhouse.

One should pay particular attention
to the ventilation of fowls sleeping
quarters during the summer months.
There should be some arrangement by
means Of which gentle current of air
may be made to pass through the
house. The birds should not be in the
direct line of draft, but the current
should be at least two feet above their
heads. Even though there be good
system of ventilation In the poultry
house, sometimes during very hot
weather it gets very stuffy before
morning, and when this Is the case 1t
is good plan 70 make framework

era expert, to assist DR.. Doty. The
treasury department at Washington
has sent the following order to the
health officers of the ports Of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
Orleans and Boston:
To diminish the danger from cholera
bacillus carriers steerage passengers COM
ing from ports or places where cholera
| prevails and arriving on vessels upon
which cholera has appeared shall be de-
tanned ten days for observation unless
after five days detention they are found
not to be bacillus carriers. The same pro-
vision shall apply also to other persons
arriving on said vessels who for special
reasons are deemed liable to be thus in
fected.
The government also has officers
abroad at the various infected ports,
OBTAINING passengers on that side, iso-
lating those suspected of infection and
taking every possible precaution. The
Italian government is also cooperating.
The only danger is that despite all
these measures Of protection some
case may slip past and infect some
such populous section as the east side
of New York. Even then it is be.
lieved that medical science would be
able to cope with the disease and
stamp it out, but that is too perilous
risk. The moment that cholera be-
gan to spread In any city panic would
Immediately seize upon the inhabitants,
an exodus would ensue, business
would be demoralized and conse-
quences would result that stagger the
mind even to contemplate.
In the meantime the public at large
should keep their heads. There have
been many cholera scares In the past
forty years that came to nothing.
Medical science is more able to cope
with the disease now than ever before.
1t Is possible for people to get into
state of fear that will make them
proper breeding ground for cholera or
any other disease. Keep cool. DR..
Doty is still on the job, the national
government is taking all possible pre-
cautions, and where American genius
and determination are thus at work
on a problem they may be depended
on to solve it. In the language of DR..
Doty, ..In America we have no reason
to be fearful OF Asiatie cholera In
these days..

doors. We cannot stop the immigrants
from coming-or at least we have not
done so-but We can keep out their
diseases.
For this purpose were long ago estab-
llsned quarantine and a health off,
Ger for the port Of New York. The
man who has held this place for many
years Is DR.. Alvah 81. Doty. DR.. Doty
Is not mere local official. He is a ma
tionai institution, with an interna-
tlonal reputation. His great contribu-
tlon to the study Of cholera and to
that Of many other infectious diseases
Is that the contagion is carried by per-
sons and not by clothing, old rags or,
barring food and water, any other In
animate substance whatsoever. 1t is
largely due to DR.. Doty's efforts that
the dread Asiatic plague never gets
past the port Of New York, the door of
the nation.

full contract 1t and carry it back to
all Moslem lands.
Russia and Mecca are a long way
from the q. S. A, however, and just
now we have to keep our own door
yard clean from the contagion. The al
legged case of the plague that appeared
in Auburn, N. Y. served to warn the
people OF the danger. The young Ital-
ian who died of what was pronounced
cholera there had been detained at
quarantine in New York until the au-
thorities were satisfied, after which he
was allowed to go. He was evidently
one of the so called cholera carriers. :"
1t is claimed that these may bear the
germs in their systems for weeks be-
fore stricken down Sometimes they
escape altogether, but still infect 9TH
ers. They are the most dangerous
cases. Ordinarily the disease develops
In i've days, so that by quarantining
for that length Of time the health Off
GERS feel safe.
A New York paper in giving an &C.
count of the death of the Auburn
victim had one item that is a trife
mystifying. 1t read as follows:
Tonight a large bonfire was made of
beds, bedding and the clothing of the VIC
tim and his two brothers who nursed him.
Is it not little drastic to burn up
brothers in this fashion? Perhaps the
paper meant that only the beds, bed
ding and clothing of the brothers were
fed to the flames, but the wording of
the thing leaves dark and clammy
doubt which should be cleared up.
Doty Sees No Danger.
Despite the cases in New York bay
and the reported death at Auburn, DR..
Doty insists that the country is not
in the slightest danger. He has been
right so often before that his word
will go, but he should be careful not
to let any more cholera carriers get
away and die in distant cities, to the
danger of their beds, clothing, brothers
and the population generally. Science
is mighty and will prevail, but for all
that cholera is rather ticklish thing,
in the watermelon season.

an interest in the matter, as is shown |

How the People Lost Control of the

respects Mr.. Aswell was a brilliant

even as late as 1873, when the dis
ease appeared in New Orleans and the
Mississippi valley. 1t has appeared al
various times since at the port of New
York, but has been checked before en-.
| tering the country.
Filipinos Easy Prey.
The Philippine Islands have been
subject to the scourge for centuries.
Since the American occupation there
have been determined efforts to stamp
it out, with some success The great
est difficulty has been to teach the ma
iyes to observe quarantine regulations
and to keep clean. Where people quar-
ter their pigs In the houses and eat al
most anything, provided it does not re-
quire too much work to get 1t, cholera
finds a congenial soil. One method Of
keeping the plague down was to inter-
diet the eating of certain kinds of veg
etables and fruits, watermelon being
one of the first prohibited. There are
people who regard watermelon as
disease in itself and do not wonder
that it breeds other diseases. How
ever, If it is kept out Of the ears and
eaten noiselessly it can be borne at
ordinary times.
Returning to the kindred subject of
cholera. the appearance Of the plague
this year has been earlier than usual.
1t is not only in southern Italy, but has
been reported in Venice and is expect
ed to spread to Austria. 1t is also
making its annual ravages In Russia,
where superstition and lack Of health
measures give 1t free reign. There the
peasants tear down, the isolation hos

as sacred and resent any appearance
of enlightenment as blasphemous. The
