transporting horses for the riders ex-
plains why one sees SO few bareback
riders with the average small country
circus. 1t needs the wealth and in
come of the big show to support a
goodly company of riders.
From one standpoint, the high sal
aries Of the circus riders appears to
be justly deserved. Riding Is the
most difficult of all circus stunts to
master as well as the most dangerous
to perform, once the knack OF potsing
on galloping horse has been master
ed. AS has been mentioned above,
the average new recruit in the ranks
Of circus riders comes of an eques-
trian family and consequently he or
she has the benefit of capable instruc-
tion at home. To attain the greatest
proficiency in riding, as in any other
acrobatic line, practice should begin
in childhood. A youngster under in
struction under such circumstances is
lifted by the father or mother onto
the horse upon which the adult rider
is practicing. At first the beginner
must be held in place on the horses
back, but gradually confidence is
gained and the new rider can main
tain his position with no aid save a
steadying hand when there comes a
sudden lurch of the plunging mount.
Finally he Is able to take care of him
self unaided and then gradually there
are mastered all the tricks of mount
ing a horse at a gallop and the fea-
ture work such as leaping over ban
ners and through paper-covered hoops.
Some circus children serve an ap-
premiership as bareback riders on

Probably Got Off.

Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey, at a dinner in Washington,
told story about young sailor.
"The sailor, after a long voyage"
he said, went ashore in the tropics,
and, 1t being hot day, he drank, in
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along a palm-bordered ave-
nue., his captain hailed him indig-
nantly.
LOOK here the captain said, sup
pose you were my commander, and
you met me in such a condition as
you're in now, what would you do to
me?'
Why. SIR said the sailor, I would
MT condescend to take no notice OF
you at all, SIR"

Dual Personalities

We may accept as quite we'll estab-
1ished the fact that hallucinations, to
people who have them, are real
things, and that loss of memory is a
real thing, and that double personality
is a real thing.
OF the loss of memory many cases
are familiar One of the most curious
was that Of man who had been
cork cutter In England, says the Lon
don Daily Graphic, and went out to
America leaving a family behind him.
He was wrecked and lost all memory
of his former life. He became we'll
to do and prosperous and it was only
by the accident Of going over a cork
cutting factory that he recovered the
clue to his former personality. His
thinking brain was unstirred, but that
part of the brain which directs mus
cular action enabled him by an act
of unconscious memory to cut a cork
an act which no Impractical person
could do. 1t was clear then that he
had once been a cork cutter, and the
institution of further inquiries finally
identified him.
To return, however, to the cases of
duplex personality. The first one of
recorded historically is that of a
youth named Sorgel, in Bavaria. who
was an epileptic, and in one of the re-
lapses into criminal frame of mind
which followed on his epileptic seiz-
ures killed a woodcutter He made
no attempt to defend or hide his act,
but childisbly explained 1t. He con-
tinued thus for q week after the
crime, when his first personality was
restored to him. He then completely
forgot all the occurrences that had
preceded or followed the murder. Al
though this case took place nearly 100
years ago his judges were convinced
of his innocence. Sorgsl hfterward
died in a lunatic asylum.

MEXICAN STYLE
OF FARMING
Most Primitive Methods of ASrA-
culture Are Still Carried on
In Many Parts of the
Old Republic.

(By VICE-CONSUL r. M. STADDEN)
The most primitive method Of
farming is still carried on in many
parts of Mexico The plowing is done
by the old-time bull tongue, which
is a crooked stick with the point cov-
cred with an iron shoe, which only
scratches the soil.
Corn is planted by hand, man fol-
lowing the plow, dropping the seed
and covering it with his foot. 1t is
cultivated with the same plow, which
gives very poor results in destroying
the weeds. The fodder Is gathered
by pulling the leaves or blades from
the stock, which are made into bun
dies and carried from the fields by
pack mules.
Rice is planted, after the native
plow has scratched over the land, by
being thrown broadcast, and ocTered
by hauling a bunch of brush over the
land. When the rice is about one
foot or Is inches high it is cut down
with grass hooks; not even a scythe
is used for this work. This cutting
more bunchy and enables the rice
plant to get the best of the weeds,
whereas, if the land had been proper
ly plowed before planting, there
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary. Some
eight or ten days before cutting or
harvesting time the water is shut off
from the rice fields to allow the rice
to ripen, when it is cut with the same
grass hooks. 1t is then piled up for
three days, when 1t is threshed by be-
ing hand beaten on a rock, by which
process five to ten per cent. of the
grain remains on the straw. During
the eight or ten days the field is dry
ing out loss of about 40 per cent. of
grain occurs from various causes.
This style of farming, without
farm implements, could be continued
through the long list of crops that are
raised in that country

venient and practical way of treating
cattle on the majority of farms. A
good style Of pail spray pump will be
sufficient for treating small herds
About 15 feet of 3-3 inch high pressure
hose is required and a type of nozzle
furnishing a cone-shaped spray will
be found satisfactory. nozzle with
two small an aperture should not be
used.
Every portion of the body should be
thoroughly treated, special attention
being given to the head, dewlap,
brisket, inside of elbows, thighs and
flanks, the tail and the depressions at
the base of the tail Crude oil alone
may be used, but in general a 20 to 25
per cent. emulsion will be better.
All the cattle should be sprayed
every two weeks and the treatment
should not be discontinued simply be-
cause the ticks have become scarce or
seem to have disappeared.
In localities where ticks commonly
occur on cattle in considerable num-
bers during the winter time it will be
advisable to continue spraying. In To-
calities where ticks disappear or are
present in very small numbers during
the winter, the cattle should be in
spected carefully each week to remove
and destroy any ticks that may be
present. When warm weather comes,
it will be well In all cases in which
spraying has been discontinued dur
ing the winter to begin spraying and
continue until 1t can be determined
with certainty that eradication has
been accomplished The spraying
should not be delayed until ticks show
again in considerable numbers. One
tick destroyed in the early spring will
save the trouble of destroying thou
sands few months later.

Circus riders exercise great care
in the selection of their horses
"rosin-backs," as the circus people
call them, because of the powder that
is sprinkled on their broad backs to
prevent the riders from slipping. The
ideal horse for bareback work must
be good tempered; steady and unvary-
ing in gait, and heavy enough to pre-
sent broad back as a moving plat
form for the performers feats. Cir
Gus riders, it may be added, not only
ride in the circus ring, but also in the

The larger number of these instan-
ces of dual personality follow on
epilepsy, but one is recorded by DR..
Drewry of Virginia, 1896, of Mr.. K.
Mr.. K, while apparently in perfect
health, went to northern town to
transact some business, which he did
quite ably and nationally. He then
disappeared. He was given up for
dead. Then, six months afterward, he
was found, brought home again, a
changed man in mind and body. The
six months interval was a blank to
him and always remained so. He had
spent them as an odd job man in a
, southern state. His recovery dated
from the breaking down of a growth
in his auditory canal, which had un-
doubtedly affected his brain in a phys
| ical sense.
| But of the more curious cases of
double personality, which did not be-
gin and leave off suddenly, but which
endured for number of years, there
are number of instances. One was
Miss Mary Reynolds, who for Is or
! 16 years had two states of existence,
in one of which she was melancholy,
morbid young woman and in the other
gay, hysterical, mischievous child.
The alterations, in which the child
state lasted from five to six weeks,
continued at intervals of varying
length for is or 16 years, but finally
ceased when she attained the age of
thirty-five or thirty-six, leaving her
permanently in her secondary or ac-
quired state. The emotional opposi.
tion of the two states had, however
become gradually reduced, and the
third state at which she eventually
arrived was a rational state, removed
from both of them.
There are cases of multiplex per
sonality. of which the best known is
that of the cpieptic Luiso Viye, whose

by entirely different moral proclivi-
ties, and there is the curious case of
Miss Beauchamp, patient of DR.. Nor
ton Prince, full account of which
was given in the International Con-
gress of Psychology, Paris, in 1900.
| Miss Beauchamp was a neurasthenio
but clever young woman, who over
worked at college. She was of NOR
| bidly conscientious and rather re-
| served disposition. She was hypno-
tized in order to try the power of sug-
gestion, and out of one of these hyp-
motto frances emerged a new Miss
| Beauchamp a person entirely
different from the original Miss Beau
champ in manners, ideals, education
and temperament. This new Miss
Beauchamp was called sally" Beau
champ, and one of the peculiarities of
her michievous temper was a pro-
found dislike of the other Miss Beau
champ" The case Is too complex and
! too curious for complete summary
here. but it presents the amazing fact
that in one brain may reside the pos
sibility of the existence of two en-
tirely different beings, different in
mind thought, disposition. health
and temper.

starvation. The latter consists in per-
mitting the cattle and other animals
to continue on the infested pasture
and treating them at regular inter-
walls with oils or other agents destruc-
tive to ticks and thus preventing en-
gorged females from dropping and re-
infesting the pasture. The larvae on
the pasture, or those which hatch
from eggs laid by females already
there, will all eventually meet death
Such of these as get upon the cattle
from time to time will be destroyed by
the treatment, while those which fail
to find host will die in the pasture
from starvation.
Animals may be freed of ticks in
two ways. They may. be treated with
an agent that will destroy all the ticks
present, or they may be rotated at
proper intervals on tick-free fields un-
til all the ticks have dropped.

IMPORTANCE OF ERADICATING
INJURIOUS CATTLE TICK
Southern States Need Live Stock and
Larger Dairy Industry-Objects Promoted
by Destroying Pest

The eradication of the cattle tick
from the southern states is a problem
of prime importance to the agricuI-
tural interests Of that section. More
over the good that would result from
the elimination of the tick would not
be entirely confined to the region dl-
rectly concerned, and thus the matter
assumes to certain degree a national
Importance.
The south needs more and better
live stock and larger dairy industry,
and these objects would be greatly
promoted by the destruction of the
tick. The increased production of live
stock by reason of its important bear
Ing In maintaining and improving the
fertility of the soil, would be of dis
tinct benefit in increasing the yield of
field crops. An incidental though i'm
portant advantage of stock raising and
datrying would be found in the distri-
button of the farmers income through
out the year, enabling him to live on
a cash basis. 1t can thus be seen that
the benefits which would accrue to
southern agriculture from the EXTERN
ination of the cattle tick would be
very great and far-reaching.
There are several species of cattle
ticks, but the chief one is commonly
called the cattle" or Texas fever
tick. 1t is the one most frequently
found on cattle and is much more
abundant than the other species.
When the losses occasioned by this
parasite are once thoroughly under
stood by farmers and stockmen there
will be little need for arguments in
favor of tick eradication. Some of the
losses are not directly noticeable and
consequently make little impression,
while other losses properly charge
able to the tick are frequently attrib-
uted to other causes.
Various writer's have estimated the
annual loss due to the tick at from
s40,000,00 to $1OO,0oO,0OO. These fig
ures should be ample argument, even
to the most comprehensive, for the
eradication of the pest.
In getting rid Of the tick, it may be
attacked on the pasture and on the
cattle
In freeing pastures the method fol-
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one
The former consists in excluding all
cattle, horses and mules from pas
lures until all the ticks have died from
