A Disappearing Lake.

An unusual occurrence that
has much interested to scien-
tlflc men recently happened at
Fumone, Italy. The picturesque
little lake of Canterno suddenly
disappeared. All the water re-
treated into a bottomless pit in
the middle of the lake, and left
the whole area absolutely dry.
1t appears that this same phen-
omenon has occurred several
times in the history Of the place;
the last time was about 22O years
ago. AT that time the farmers
had begun to till the bed of the
lake. and had brought it to a
high state of cultivation, when
suddenly the water returned:
and as if to recompense the peo-
pie for the loss of their crops,
the fish came back also.
There is an ancient legend
that the lake disappears when
ever its water claim the life of a
human being. That was the
case at the last previous disap-
pearance of the water. On a
certain Shrove Tuesday, nine
young boys were drowned in
Canterno Lake. Their distract
ed parents cursed the waters Of
the lake, and then a crater fif-
teen feet in diameter swallowed
up the water with fearful and
unearthly gurgling. Fire spout
ed from the hole, and from the
depths of the earth came a
mysterious rumbling, The en-
tire lake bed was strewn with
fish, and the boat which had
gone down with the BOYS was
swallowed up by the crater.

Hickory Bark is Slippin.'

Monroe Enquirer.
Hickory bark is slippin'. The
city bred boy knows nothing of
the JOY the fact in the foregoing
statement brings. Hickory bark
is slippin'. 1t means that slide
whistles and pop whips can be
made. 1t means that you can
take a jack knife, go through the
wooks selecting your long, keen,
straight hickory sprouts and
take them out on a sunny slope
and make your whips, peel the
inside bark out for a lash and
just make 'er cry so that the pop-
ping is like d report from a rifle.
1t means that you can cut a long
straight hickory stick about as
large around asyour finger, take
your knife by the blade and with
the back of the handle beat that
stick until the wood will slip out
OF the bark and then you have a
slide whistle which will all but
wake The dead and worry the
very life out of nervous folks.
The boy who never spent any
time out in the woods when
hickory bark is slippin' missed
something great-an enjoyment
that very few things On this old
earth equals and none Surpasses.

The Split Log Drag

1t is part of tie duty of a good

stage the sexual organs develop,
and at the second molting, from
the nymphal to the adult stage,
sexual organs are complete. The
male and female at this stage are
about the same size, as the fe-
male does not become very
large until after she becomes
fertilized, which occurs about
two weeks after the six-legged
seed tick reaches its host, or
after the second mo1ting. After
intercourse with the male the
female slowly enlarges for six to
20 days in summer, and then
rapidly increases in size in the
course of a day or two before
dropping from the animal. In
fall and winter development
occurs more slowly, the tick not
falling off for six weeks or more.
Alter reaching the ground the
female soon commences TO de
poslt eggs, thus completing the
lie cycle, which requires from
SIX to ten weeks in warm wea.
ther, or a much longer period
during the cold season.
1t will thus be seen that these
females transmit the infection
through their eggs to their pro.
geny. and the latter have the
power 10 infect any susceptible
animal to which they attach.
The disease, therefore, is not
conveyed by the same ticks
which take up the infected blood
but only through the generation
descending from them.
Although your ticks are very
active neither they nor the adult
ticks are capable of crawling
very far, but they may be trans.
ported long distances by animals
by rains, by winds, cattle cars,
hldeS and on clothing of man.
f1ence the constant danger that
tick-free pastures below the quar-
anime line may become infested
with ticks at any time.

Curing Oat Hay.

Progressive Farmer
n reader asks us to advise the
method of curing oat hay, at
what stage to cut and rake, and
II 1t can be baled within three
days after cutting? Is the feed
ing value of oat hay as good as
when cut with binder and fed in
sheaf or threshed? What is the
market value of oat hay?
1t is generally advised to cut
oat hay in the dough stage" OF
the grain. 1t is probable that il
contains more nutriment at this
stage than earlier we believe it is
more palatable, is eaten more
readily and with less waste. We
therefore, advise cutting oat hay
rather earlier than the dough
stage" of the grain, or when the
straw is thoroughly green. 1t is
probably best to wait as long as
possible just so the straw is still
thoroughly green. AS to curing,
that is as with other hays. Ii
should be allowed to thoroughly
wilt as cut, then be raked into
windrows and cured there, or
cooked and allowed to cure in
the cocks. No one can tell
another at what stage hay has
dried or cured sufficiently to be
put In barns or stack. If present
he may show at what stage of
the curing this should be done
but there is no definite stage
which can be described and
recognized by the novice at
which the hay has been sufficien
tly cured. Oat hay is more easily
cured than the legumes, but not
so easily as some of the finer
grasses.
Can oat hay be baled three
days after being cut?"
1T the oats Aere cut at the
right time and cured in the win
drow or cock we boubt if it will
be safe TO bale in three DAYS. If
rather too ripe when cut, the
weather is hot and dry and the
oats are cured in the swath it
might do to bale three days after
cutting. We have had no OBJ
servatlon of baling oat hay three
days after cutting. What say
our readers on this subject?
Since the straw will contain
more nutriment and will be eat
en- with much less waste if cut
green, we believe the animal
Will get as much or more out of
an oat crop cut in the early
dough stage" or in the milk
stage" of the grain than they will
when the crop is allowed TO
ripen.
The market value of oat hay
Will depend on the stage at
which IT was cut, the method
and conditions under which If
was cured and the knowledge of
its value at the market where il
is sold.

by this table it will be seen
that there was a raise in each
township except Old Store. in
which the average was lowered
from 1851 to $3.47.
There is again however in the
town of Pageland, due in part.
at least, to the fact that many
lots were listed by the board
that had never been returned.
For instance, a man would re-
turn one house and one lot when
there are two or three, and some
land had been returned in acres
when it should have been given
in lots.

was erected by Messrs. S. T., ].
T, B. A. and ]. E. Sustar to
their mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Sus-
tar. If ever a mother deserved
a monument that good woman
is worthy of one. Here is the
story of her herosim: In 1862
Mrs. Sustar was living with her
husband, MIR. H. r. Sustar, and
their four little sons and a little
daughter in cabin home in the
pine lands of Lancaster county,
5. G. Early in 1862 the husband
and father joined the Confeder-
ate army and went to the front.
He never returned. In a few
weeks the news came that the
husband and father was dead
and had been buried in Virginia.

tive little orphaned children, the
two youngest, B. A. and I. E.,
twins but six months old, and
then and there she resolved TO
keep her family together and to
make a living for them. She
had nothing and not a child was
large enough to make a living.
But she went to work, hiring
herself to the neighboring far
mers and although she was nurs-
ing her twin boys she went to
the field and many has been The

only twenty-five cents, and otter

and then that mother went out
to where the army horses had

away and had it ground and by
night she had bread for her
children. After the war she

her children grew they joined
their great hearted mother in the
battle for bread. The twins
when but ten years old were
spanning cotton at night with
which to make their clothing and
were working for neighboring
farmers for only twenty-five
cents a day for the two. In 1876

The Life Cycle of Cattle Ticks.

Columbia, April 17-Clemson
college and the federal bureau
of animal industry are making
preparations for going cunning
after the cattle tick in the 90
counties in South Carolina still
infested with the pest and con-
sequently below the quarantine
line. The cattle tick is admit
tedly the greatest obstacle in the
way of the development of the
cattle raising industry in South
Carolina. w. K. Lewis of the
bureau OF animal industry will
marshal the forces of Clemson
college and the federal depart
ment of agriculture in the war
which IS to begin soon against
the tick. The general assembly
of South Carolina appropriated
$4,000 for tick eradication work
which will be supplemented by
funds from the federal depart
ment.
The tick which is making all
this trouble is a parasite which
transmits the germ, causing
Texas fever, into the blood of
of cattle in precisely the same
. manner as the malarial plasmo-
dia are transmitted into the
human circulatory system by
anopholes mosquitoes.
The fully developed and fer
tilted female, being engorged
with blood and ready to lay her
eggs, loosens her hold on the
bovine animal and drops to the
ground. Upon reaching the
ground she may lie quietly for
several days before depositine
her eggs, which may consume
from four to eight days in sum-
mer and two weeks or even
longer in the fall. The number
OF eggs laid by a fully developed
female varies from 1,50O to 5000.

eggs, which are light brown and
waxy in appearance, proceed to,
develop the larvae, or seed ticks,
the time require for which varies
from Is days to six weeks, de-
pending on the conditions of
temperature, moisture, soil, etc.
These eggs, however, are very,
tenacious of life, and under un-
favorable conditions may re-
main dormant for several
months, especially in the early
spring.
The larvae, or seed ticks, are
minute six-legged parasites of a
browniSh waxy color, and
about 1872 of an inch in size.
They crawl quite actively about
on the ground and among leaves
punching in large numbers upor
grass blades. shrubs, weeds and
fence posts, to await an oppor-
tunlty for attachment to their
passing host. The parasitism is
so perfect that in case no cattle
or horses are present no further
development occurs, and death
finally results. 1t is known
however, that these larval forms
can live for three or four months
on the ground in warm weather
independent of their host, and
from late September until April
during an open winter. When
they find cattle, however, they
fasten themselves to the soft skin
inside the thighs and flanks, on

TROUBLE WITH MEXICO
United States Will Take Tam
pico and Vera Cruz

PASo oho era NEuZ
A large American fleet is now
in Mexican waters, and there
will probably be some fighthing
today. 1t is impossible to say
what the outcome will be. The
dispatches below tell of the
trouble:
Washington, April 19.-Gen.
Vlctorlano Huerta. provisional
president of Mexico, flatly re.
fused tonight to accede to the
unconditional demands of the
United States that he salute the
American flag, and congress will
be asked by President Wilson
tomorrow for authority to use
armed forces to uphold the hon
or and dignity of the nation.
Negotiations with Huerta over
the demand for a salute in repair
attain tor the arrest of American
bluelacketS at Tampico on April
10 came to a close tonight at 6
O'Clock, the last hour given by
President Wilson for a favorable
response from the Mexican die
tator. The final word of Huerta
to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a
refusal to comply, unless the
United States would guarantee
in writing that his salute be re-
turned.
President Wilson at midnight
was on his way to Washington
from White Sulpur Springs, pre-
pairing to read a message to con-
gress in Joint session as early as
IT can be arranged tomorrow.
In the meantime American war
fleets were moving down both
coasts on their way to Mexican
waters to carry out the presi-
dents plan for reprisal.
The crisis thus reached does
not mean that there will be a
formal declaration of war, be-
cause the United States could
not declare war against a gov.
ernment it does not recognize.
President Wilson will seek au-
thorlty, however, to send armed
forces into Mexico to seize first
the Ports of Tampico and Vera
Cruz and the railroad trestle lead
ing from Vera Cruz toward Mex
ico City.
The president directed that a
cabinet meeting be called for
1890 o'clock tomorrow when
final arrangements for a peace
full blockade of Mexican ports
and other steps in the presidents
programme will be deliberated.
Washington, April 2O.-In 4S
hours, possibly less, the United
States Government will have
taken possession of the Mexican
custom houses at Tampico and
Vera Cruz.
Detailed plans for landing of
marines at these two important
coast towns were completed at
a conference at the White House
between Pre- sident Wilson. Sec
retaries Bryan, Garrison and
Daniels, Major General Wood,
and Rear Admirals Fiske and
Blue and John Lind.
NO orders to the Army and
Navy will be issued tonight" i"
was the announcement made
after the conference, action tenn
porarily being deferred until
Congress acts on the joint reso-
luton approving the Presidents

forces of the United States to en-
force its demands against Gener-
al Huerta, growing out of the
