Nowadays the men who sail the
ships pay no more than passing at
tention to st. Elmo's fire When it
is seen they admire the display, but
they have not the slightest fear that
it will do anything unseemly to the
ship.
The Fire of St Elmo lis nothing
more than an electrical phenomenon.
it always occurs in heavy electric
storms, and in the North Atlantic has
been often observed in snowstorms.
1t is caused, according to scientists
by the electricity of the air coming
close to the earth or sea and over.
charging the atmosphere.
The iron or steer on the arms OF
yards or the metal at the truck of a
mast attracts the electricity, and il
collects in a ball, There it sways and
moves with the motion of the mast
until the storm is over and the at
mosphere is cleared of it's surplus
electricity. Sometimes when the all
is charged more heavily than usual
the electricity shows on steel stays
and rigging in such quantity that the
ship is Illuminated.

ship, uttering their strange little
squeaks and occasionally alighting on
the deck, it was regarded as a har-
binger of a storm.
The superstition was that each bird
was the embodiment of the soul of a
departed sailor-one who had been
lost at sea-and that the transmigrat-
ed spirit was warning its living fell
lows against the approach of age.
Therefore, a sailor would not think
of killing a Mother Carey's chicken
or of even touching one that fell eX-
hausted to the deck. The fact that
those who have been so bold as to
pick up the birds have found them
possessing a corpse-lille smell strength.
ened the belief in transmig"ation
But sailors no longer have the deep
rooted respect for the stormy petrol.
They have come to see that the birds
come to a ship in any kind of weather
at all, and that sometimes after they
depart there is not breath of violent
wind for weeks and months. They
realize that the birds visit the ship
only because they know that food is
aboard, and if the cook didn't have
anything in the galley to throw to
them they wouldn't stay around long.
1t is the same way with sharks. In
the old days a shark used to get a
great deal more respect than he does
now When a shark fell in behind a
sailing ship-a shark is too lazy to

Once Captain Dodge, in the same
schooner, had to anchor outside
Cape Henry while on his way from
Port Tampa to Baltimore with phos-
phate rock. When his mudhook flop
ped overheard, little did he know what
he was going to draw aboard again
when the wind got right and he could
proceed.
When the anchor came aboard and
was ready to be Gated master and
crew saw clinging to the flukes a
number of starfish, about five or six
inches from tip to tip of the arms.
Starfsh constitute no novelty to sea-
farers, but these showed themselves
to be something out of the ordinary.
Sticking to the Shiny arms and body
Of each starfish were small flakes Of
gold, or what looked pretty much like
gold. Some of the flakes were Of
fairly good size, and Captain Dodge
recognized the fact that there was a

took the fish to Baltimore, but being
too busy carrying coal to Port Tampa

The average sailor is not supersti-
tious any more Most of the seamen
of today go to sea in steamers, and
the few who man the sailing ships are
too busy standing up for their rights
and trying to get more pay and better
grub to bother about signs and tokens.
Thus has the romance Of the sea
faded, but the merchant marine is
somehow worrying along without it.
The Fire of st. Elmo used to scare
the old mariners. In ancient times
the followers of the sea, particularly
hose Of Spain and Italy, thought it
was a manifestation Of st. Elmo,
whom they invoked to protect them

Captain Henry Dodge, commander of
the schooner Malcolm b. Seavey,
which was lost in the August South
ern hurricane, not only to have one
careening for his ship, but to put it
to flight and avert what seemed GER
tain disaster.
Several voyages ago, when the Sea
vey was bound from Baltimore to Port
Tampa with coal, she ran into a calm
somewhere off the North Carolina
coast, where most of the strange
things happen. With all sails set and
Tapping futilely in light, ineffective
puffs of wind, the schooner lay mo-
tionless on the bosom of the Atlantic,
with all hands whistling industriously
for a wind.
Suddenly Captain Dodge saw a
healthy waterspout some distance
away. It was travelling at a good rate,
swirling like a good fellow and acting
like Jack ashore with two months
pay in his pocket 1t was quite an
inspiring sight to see the tall column
of water chasing itself around on the
ocean.
Suddenly it changed it's course and
started directly for the ,motionless
Seavey. Like an avalanche of death
it came and Captain Dodge began to
wonder if they'd miss him ashore! On
and on it tore, getting blacker and
more menacing every second. Death
stared the crew of the Seavey in the
face.
Then suddenly something happened.
A puff of wind swung the booms over
and the sails Slated with noise
like pistol shots. The noise acted
like magic, for the waterspout halted
in its course, turned away, and, sick
and discouraged, collapsed back into
the sea. The schooner and her COM
pany were saved for another trip.
Captain Dodge saw nothing unusual
in the breaking of the spout. He says
it is a well-known fact that the re-
port of a gun, with the consequent
disturbance of the atmosphere, has
broken waterspouts before and he
thinks the report made by his Stating
sails had the same effect.

the growers can be induced to CO.
operate, and that they will be guard
ed from the induction Of tobacco from
other tobacco states, in the
Virginia and North Carolina tobacco
districts the bright leaves are pc
culiarly adapted, and will not receive
successful competition from the out
side.
In searching about for a plan OF
relief the question OF pooling the
crops and holding them is being DIS
cussed, though as to the success OF
the plan that will be proposed, which
ia not given out, there is only con-
lecture. 1t is thought that it will be
possible for the county warehouse
system to be used there being a very
strong organization in tobacco coun-
ties. By this system the tobacco will
possibly be stored in bonded ware
houses, a certificate of deposit IN
which it is said. will be accepted by
the banks as collateral, thus ehapll,ls
the grower of small means to be
tided over until the demands of the
growers are met.
The figure which will be placed as
the proper amount for relinquishing
the crops to the market is supposed
to have come up at the secret ses-
sion.
Pooling Agreement AdOpted-The
Plan.

ton Of Tobacco Growers of North

adopted.
1t was earned that it is the plan OF
the delegates, representing over hfty
Ter cent of the tobacco growers Of the
tW1 States to put the crop through
nrizaries and store in warehouses un-
til the Irice of Is cents per pound
was obtained. Member of the Union
are confident they can win against

1t is figured that the American To-
bacco Company, instead or having
sufficient supply for three years with
ON using the 1911 crop, has only

MILK FEVER TREATMENT
BY A. c. Page, College Of AarieuI.
ture, University Of Mis-
souri,.

A scrub cow is in very little danger
OF milk fever 1t always picks out the
test COW in the herd. A high bred
high producing COW is likely to be
affected.
The condition most favorable to
milk fever Is found in the high-pro-
ducing cow which has been we'll fed
and kept in high condition. just pre-.
,ious to calving. Her blood is full
OF the materials which go 70 make
milk when she freshens. The better
her condition, the more danger there
is of an attack.
A heifer having her first calf is not
likely to be troubled with this dis.
case, because it usually follows a
repid and easy delivery. which is not
common to young heifers. An attack
rarely follows long, difficult labor.
The first symptoms Of milk fever
come within a few hours after the
calf is born. The cow shows the CON-
mon signs of fever, Is uneasy, and
without appetite. In very short time
she will begin to show the paralysis
which is characteristic of this disease.
In. a little while she will sway back
and forth as If drunk, and soon be-
come unable to stand. The paralysis
passes gradually to the other parts of
the body, the cow being partly uncon-
scious. If she is not treated, death
will soon occur.
Only a few years ago, milk fever
was known as a fatal disease. Half a
dozen remedies were tried, but they
all failed most Of the time. Now, how
ever, there is q simple treatment
which is almost sure cure. Its re-
suits are rapid. and the COW soon re-
covers. The principle of the new
treatment is the injection of air into
the udder. No one can explain Just
Why this does the work, but it does.
Any kind Of an air pump may be
used to administer the treatment.
Usually bicycle pump can be found
in a hurry II no other kind Is avail
able. The chief precaution to be OBJ.
served is in keeping dirt FROM enter
ing the udder either in the air
pumped in or ON the milking tube
used. The first may be accomplished
hy filtering the air through cotton
soaked In carbolic acid. A convenient
apparatus may be made for this pur.
pose BY using q wide-mouthed bottle
with a two-hole cork. and two pieces
of tubing. The tube LEADING into the
bottle should be below the surface Of
the cotton. Tho other may Re short.
The .udder should b. washed In
warm water before pumping up. ant

As yet, oats is recognized as the
standard horse feed the country over,
and should constitute the basis of the
ration for both the foal and the mare.

than by building straw-sned. This
is a very inexpensive structure, and

grain should be changed twice a day
in order to prevent securing.
Any time between five and eight
months of age will be a suitable time
for weaving. A very successful meth.
cd is as follows:
Take foal away from the mare,
and, If possible, put two or three Of
them together in a light, clean and
roomy box stall. Place the accus-
toned grain and hay ration before
them. Keep the mare far enough
away from the foal so that neither
may see or hear the other, aid with
