Scabies Nearly Eradicated.
DR.. A. ]. Payne. veterinary inspector
for the Bureau OF Animal Industry,
department of agriculture, who has
been in Frankfort since last Septem-
Der, has gone to Louisville to take
charge of the office in the custom
house.
DR.. Payne, working with the state
sanitary board. has been paying par
ticular attention to sheep scabies.
Within a year $4,000 head have been
inspected, and there remains, so far as
known, only one flock in Scott county
not treated. The infected territory has
been reduced to a half-dozen counties
in the blue grass, and hope is now en-
tertained that the disease will have
been eradicated within another year.
The territory west of the Green and
Barren rivers is now free from quaran-
tine.
One of the results Of the inspection
for scabies has been to disclose the
presence in Kentucky of a quarter
million more sheep than we're returned
to the state for assessment.

A Tramp Steamer.

iegree by the Yankee shippers OF the
early days of this country. In those
lays a young man returned from a
voyage with a rating Of second or first
mate and a knowledge Of navigation.
He wanted a vessel of his own; so he
organized company on a stock basis.
With the ship in commission the
captains real work began, and when
he shipped his moorings for a voyage
he was going tramping, although he
called It trading In his quest for
cargoes he did not bother where he
might have to go, his only stipulation
being that he should have a return
freight or a monetary consideration,
Those were the days when trading
was not so prosaic as today, for the
doughty shippers of sailing craft took
all kinds of chances, especially those
who went over on the African coast,
swapping beads, mirrors, calico,
knives and other gimcracks for ivory
Many of those shippers we're not
averse to "blackbirding, as running
slaves was called, and many a cargo
OF blacks was run to the states, even
after the British government started
in to break up slave trading.
1t is to the tramp steamer that Eng
land owes her position as the foremost
maritime power. The crown has en-
couraged the building of liners and
tramps by the giving of subsidy. In
other words, the crown is a part own
er, but only in time of war does the
crown assert its rights. Then these
tramps must respond, to be used as
troop transports, as many were dur
ing the Boer war.
