methods of giving the'tuberculin test
that are attracting wide attention
the ophtholmic test and the lntrader-
NAL test. Both were experimental
with at a recent meeting of the
Missouri Valley Veterinary Associa-
ton at Kansas City and both proved
very satisfactory, especially the in
tradermic test.
] In this test small quantity of
tuberculiu is introduced In the loose
folds of the skin on one side of the
tail. After forty eight hours. if the
animal is infected with the germs of
tuberculosis, swelling will occur at
the place of injection accompanied
by characteristic switching of the
tail. The swelling can be quickly
noted by comparing the point of in
lection with the corresponding region
on the other side of the tail. 1t the
animal is not tubercular no disturb
ance will be noted.
In the ophthalmic test the tuber-
culin is introduced into the eye of
the animal. In case the animal is
tubercular the mem brane OF the eye
becomes inf1amed after eighteen hours
and a characteristic discharge is
noted. If the animal is free from
tuberculosis germs there will be no
change in the eye.
These two tests have been widely ex-
perimented with and the efficiency
has been determined accurately.
The ophthalmic test has given 81 per
cent of correctness while the in
tradermal test runs as high as SO per
cent of correctness. Due to the ease
With which this latter test is ad-
ministered and it's remarkable
efficiency in revealing the presence
Of tuberculosis germs in suspected
animals, it may soon be made the
official test IN this country .-Inde.

New Tests for tuberculosis.

The tubercuIin test for stock
especially dairy COWS has come into
wide use throughout the country and
it's efficiency in detecting the presence
of tuberculosis germs is now unques-
toned. However satisfactory this
method has proven, scientists have
continued to investigate the matter
in the hopes of finding test fully as
efficient but which is more simple
and which will require less time to
render it's verdict. That the present
method which requires temperature
study of the suspected animal for a
period of forty eight hours is crude
and cumbersome is recognized but
until shorter cut can be made with
out impairing the efficiency, this will
continue to be the official method of
testing for tuberculosis.
However, there are two new

LONG ROWS FOR THE GARDEN.

1t is best to have the garden long
and narrow in shape since it is far
more easily plowed and cultivated in
this form. Lay off the garden in
rows three feet apart and use one.
horse cultivator with five small shovels
for working it. In this way little hand
hoeing will be necessary, and if a
wheel hoe is used after the cultivator
1t will do away with still more hoe
ing. All these things save time and
time is about the scarcest article on
the farm when this work needs to be
done.

THE OYSTER SHELL SCALE.

The Division of Entomology of the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at Pullman, gives the following
timely information concerning this
destructive pest:
The oyster shell bark louise is quite
a common pest throughout Western
Washington and also occurs in many
of the orchards in Eastern Washing
ton, especially in those OF higher
altitude. The oyster she'll seems to
prefer an elevation of above 1000 feet
or else where considerable moisture
is present, while the San Jose scale
seeks the localities below 1000 feet
and where there is little moisture in
the air. The oyster she'll differs from
the San Jose scale in its method of
reproduction. There is but one
generation of the oyster shell each
year. In the fall, under each of the
scales you will find produced about
one hundred eggs or less. These re-
main over winter and about the
early part of June will hatch out.
The young scales then crawl over the
tree and locate on some suitable place
OF the bark where they remain for
the rest of their lives. With the San
Jose scale. as many as four hundred
young are born to each mother and
there are at least ten generations In
the year. 1t Is this difference in
reproductive ability that makes the
San Jose scale such a dreaded pest.
The usual treatment for the oyster
she'll bark louise is to spray with the
sulphur lime wash any time during
the winter. This wash acts through
the shell and will kill some of the
eggs beneath. Sometimes, however.
especially If the wash is scantily
applied, it has proved quite INSULT
Gent in checking the pest. 1t would
seem as if the old fashioned sulphur
lime, containing Fgreat excess OF
lime, would work better than the
clear sprays now in use. The excess
of lime has the effect of raising the
scale on drying and that exposes the
eggs to the action of the wash and
also to the action of the weather. Ii
the eggs are not killed and the young
appear in early summer, a tobacco
wash has given the best satisfaction.
Blackleaf, used one to 70 or Black
leaf-4O, used one to 70, is dependable
spray. Any tobacco spray has its
effect greatly increased by the add
ton of soap, and of the soaps those
known as cresol or lysol seem best.
II there are no other pests than the
oyster shell, red spider and aphis
present, the tobacco treatment In
early summer will be preferable to the
winter spray OF sulphur lime.

THE THIRD PARTY.
Preliminary Arrangements for lt in
 New York Made at Conference.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. July 9.-Prelimin- ary arrangements for the third party movement in New York state were made today by Colonel Roosevelt in conference with William H. Hotchkiss, the newly appointed state manager: Timothy l.. Woodruff and a number of upstate men who have cast their fortunes with the former president Colonel Roosevelt met them in New York. where he spent the day. He said there was nothing he could say at present as to the prospects. and that he felt it would be foolish to attempt any prophecies now. Some of his as sociates said that the Roosevelt senti- ment was spreading rapidly through the state. and that they believed the new party would make a strong fight The hope of the leaders of the move ment is centered principally in the sec tiOns of the state outside the metro politan zone on the theory that Col onel Roosevelt will fare most poorly in New York city.
 Colonel Roosevelt said emphaticallY that he had no intention of withdraw ing. He characterized as "preposter- ous' the report that petitions would be circulated throughout the country asking that both President Taft and he step aside. Colonel Roosevelt believes that he won the nomination, that it was stolen from him, and that to withdraw would be to condone the theft"

sERIEe OF EXPLOSIONS
 IN AN ENGLISH MINE.
slxty-nine Bodies ReeoVered- Deed
 May Number Eighty.

C0nisbrough. England, July s,@Thd bodies of sixty-nine victims of series of explosions in the cadeby coIliery this morning have been brought to the surface It is feared that e fur ther search of the mine will increase the death roll to eighty. Of the killed thirty were mine workers; the others were men who went into the pits to rescue those entombed. Among these were three government inspectors, in- cluding William Henry Pickering, chief inspector of mines, Yorkshire and North Midland district who was to have ex- plained 10 King George and Queen Mary this afternoon the working of another ' Yorkshire colliery.
 The king yesterday visited a colllery adjacent 10 that in which the explo- sions occurred today. The presence Of their maiesties in the district great ly minimized the fatalities because the miners were celebrating and had taken a holiday. Therefore instead of tho usual 1S6. only S2 men were working in that part of the mine where the | accident happened. Thirty of these were killed outright and one. the man ager of the pit was brought up alive but died tonight
 The first explosion. which killed the miners, occurred early in the morning. It was followed by an explosion about l five o'clock in the afternoon, which ke- suited in the collapse of the roof. sSNf- whelming the entire rescuing brigade. The king and queen visited the scene tonight and personally expressed their sympathy.

GREELEY HEIRS RElNsTATEp. Grandchildren of Journalist Declared
 Owners of Farm in Virginia.

New York. July 9-After litigation lasting twenty-one years the three surving grandchildren of Horace Greeley, inspector of the board of health of No. 40 Clinton street; Nixola Greeley Smith, of East Orange, N. J., have been reinstated in pos session of a farm consisting of 500 acres at Buckingham Court House. Va.
 The farm, which is worth about S12,OO0, has been held by the Rev. Frank M. Clendenin, pastor, of St Peters church at Westchester, who got title to it by paying SIP in back taxes when the three grandchildren infants. The Rev. MT. Clendenin married a daughter of Horace Gree ley.
 Judge George J. Hundley, of the cir cult court of Buckingham county, handed down a decision naming the three grandchildren as the rightful heirs.
 United States Senator James A. Bayard of Deleware, more than forty years ago, gave the land as security to Horace Greeley in consideration of a $10,000 loan, which he intended to use in developing a gold mine on the estate. It was soon discovered that it would cost too much to separate the ore and the project was abandoned.
 The mortgage was foreclosed after the death of Senator Bayard and the property was beQueather to the Rev. MT. Clendentn's wife and the three children of her sister.
 In announcing his decision Judge Hundley held that the tax title was invalid and that the grandchildren were the rightful heirs.

Corning, N. Y, July 9.-That Wil- liam Schroeder, engineer of the ex- press train which ran into the rear end of Lackawanna passenger train No. here last Thursday, causing the deaths of 40 persons, was apparently intoxicated at 12.30 o'clock on the morning of July f. within four hours of the time he boarded the engine which he guided to destruction, was the testimony given at the coroner's s inquest here this afternoon by Charles Klaproth of Elmira, for many years a close personal friend of Schroeder.
 An Unwilling Witness.
 This testimony came near the end of a weary session presided over by Cor oner Herbert B. Smith in his shirt sleeves, with Jurymen, lawyers, repre- sentatives of the interstate commerce commission and others also coatless. Klaproth was haled to court late in the afternoon and proved an unwilling witness against his lifelong friend. He testified that at 12.S0 o'clock on the morning of July 4 as he was leaving his place of business In Elmira, he saw Schroeder walking towards him, stag gering. He remarked to friends who were with him that Schroeder seemed
 
 ards his home, and RaprOth saw nc more of him.

ASKS FOR PUBLIC TO
 SUSPEND JUDGMENT.
Counsel for Archibald Issues a State. ment.

Washington. July s.-The counsel for Judge Robert W. Archibald of the commerce court against whom articles of impeachment have been reported in the house, issued a statement today asking that public opinion in the Arch bald case be suspended until the ac- cused jurist has had an opportunity to present his defence to the senate, which, sitting as a court, will try the charges against him.
 The statement made public by his counsel, the first public reply from the udge and indicating the tenor of the defence in the expected trial, is in part as follows:
 Judge Archbald's counsel state that he emphatically denies that in any of the transactions referred to in the re- port of the judiciary committee which are embraced in the articles of i'm peachment which the committee has submitted to the house, he used or at tempted to use his influence as a judge improperly.
 Conscious of his own integrity, 1t never occurred to him in any of the transactions referred to that others night suspect that he was acting oth- erwise than uprightly.
 When the original charges against him were presented to the president and the attorney general, he was given no notice and had no hearing. In the proceedings before the house judiciary committee he was permitted to cross examine witnesses, but 1t was explicit ly stated by the chairman that the proceeding was hearing and not a trial. In the hearings before the com mittee the principal charges which had led the president and the attorney gen eral to take action were shown to be utterly unfounded. When the evil dence was closed, what charges the committee might make could not be known to Judge Archibald or his couu- sel until they were presented to the house.
 Judge Archibald therefore will have no opportunity to present his defense until he is summoned before the sen ate, and until he has had a hearing there he asks that public opinion in his case may be suspended.
